16 : JUNE : 07
ZooG: We stole it from Sthe Sonic Youth song- ‘Orange Rolls, Angel’s Spit’ from the album Dirty. Destroyx: I don’t think there is any underlying meaning underneath the band name…other than the juxtaposition between the connotation of the separated words ‘angel’ and ‘spit’.
What influences you either as a group or as individuals? ZooG: Sonic Youth, Skinny Puppy,
Placebo. Mostly Indie Rock and Cyber Punk. Destroyx: We don’t listen to EBM.
Do your songs have any special message as a whole or do they all tell a different story? Destroyx: I guess they are all different and can be appreciated by themselves, but there are underlying themes throughout the album. I am not really one for analysing my own music… but I think if you listen to the lyrics, you’ll probably be able to discern some of the messages behind the music.
What can you tell musicians who may be looking to get into this business? Destroyx: Don't try to make music that you think people want to listen to. Try to listen to what you like, don't give in to the formula. Spend more time on your music and less time on the internet. ZooG: Don't give up!!
What kind of equipment do you use? ZooG: On Krankhaus and Nurse Grenade all sequencing, percussion and vocals were done by us – Graeme did guitars on both CDs. With our new material we are using more live musicians. We are wanting to use more industrial percussion and other instruments. The really cool magic happens when you start heavily processing and editing ‘real recorded instruments’. You start to sculpt these insane abstract and almost surreal musical lines. We only use real analogue synths and modulars. On Krankhaus we used: Analogue Synths Modular Synths Digital Shit OTHER More info on our gear here. Since moving to Germany, most of the above is now
locked away in storage back in Sydney…so we’re doing
everything on a CRAP laptop with a basic Modular Synthesizer and
a Roland SH101. |
