Interview with Shelby Cinca



Over the years Shelby Cinca has expressed himself in multiple ways: he's been a musician in Frodus, Decahedron and The Cassettes, he's recorded bands like Dead Meadow and others and designed artwork for many records and websites... You can find a record of his work at www.themindcontrol.com . Right now he's about to go on tour with Decahedron, his latest project.We hope that you'll like this interview and we wish him the best of luck for the future.

1.Over the years you’ve been involved in the music process all round, being in a (exceptional) band, Frodus, recording records of other bands (like Dead Meadow), doing artwork and websites both for your and other bands, how has this experience as a whole been so far? What was it like to start over with Decahedron?

The experience has been overall positive. I have been able to work visually and sonically with artists to help them achieve what they want to do. The greatest part of it is that it has been a learning experience and expanded my creative vocabulary and given me fresh perspectives. Working with other artists have also in turn helped me refine what i want to do with music/art.

It was difficult in some respects starting over with Decahedron as when you do a new musical project you are pretty much starting from the very bottom re-introducing yourself to a new crowd of music goers. On the other hand it was creatively very inspiring to start over with something fresh, exploring new ideas, and working with Joe Lally for Disconnection_Imminent. I have to say I am happy that Frodus ended because we probably wouldn't have ended up writing a record with Joe, which was a real great experience playing with someone we respect who brings a different approach to writing music, etc..

2. When you started to play music, did you have the perception it was something you’d eventually wanted to be involved in for such a long time?

I had a feeling it was. Though at times I feel like it is a sickness where you have to always create and create. You release and create songs and then begin on new ones. An endless process of expelling and creating. It's like a bodily process... you make food, eat it, and then you release it again, then repeat.

3.Right now your new ep with Decahedron is being published, how was it to work on it? Do you feel, since you started the band, that there has been an evolution?

Definitely. The album was us kind of finding a sound and thing that we do. The EP has been a continuation and is heading more towards an 'electronic music' approach of composing music with real instruments. It is about a few parts that constantly loop and things playing over each other and complex rhythms.

4.You also have another project, The Cassettes, I’ve read you’re about to publish a new full length, when hearing The Cassettes I always thought it was interesting to hear yet another side of your musical production, how has it been as an experience to play\record\tour with The Cassettes?

The Cassettes is a big stream of consciousness where we create little moody worlds that focus on dreams and childhood. It's a totally different approach than Decahedron. In a way The Cassettes is maybe Decahedron therapy and Decahedron is modern-life therapy.

Playing and touring with The Cassettes is amazing, it has a very different dynamic within the band and thus it reflects in the music.

The Cassettes is organic and escapist.

5.In all of your lyrics, especially with Decahedron, it seems you have chosen a very clear register to expose your views on things – I feel this is very important right now, in the difficult times we’re going through – how have listeners reacted to the message you’re trying to put into your music? What do you focus on when writing lyrics?

People have generally been positive. Of course we meet people that do not agree and some have engaged us in conversation. But I just say it is our take on things and how we are expressing ourselves with the forum of music. We definitely purposefully take a more radical stance through our music and imagery because the more radical you are the more people will listen. It is a very common media tactic that we use to get our ideas out. Being subtle is more difficult to pull off in the information age if you have a very specific message and want to get as many people exposed to it whether it is a positive or negative reaction. Though it's all relevant to how we feel at the time, i don't know if our imagery and approach will always be so apparent on future records. It's just in these current times we were moved to do things in such a way. When writing lyrics, we write about our perception of life around us... that involves our geographic location and how we are effected by events in and around it. The focus can change... where Frodus was more about a possible "dark-future", Decahedron is more about the present.

6.I see you have some live shows in the US ahead of you, as Decahedron is concerned, are you thinking to make a trip overseas with them and play shows here in Europe?

I would love to tour Europe as it's my favorite place to tour! At the moment we are just slowly planning things and seeing how the rest of our lives occupations pan out to accommodate that.

7.Since you’ve been involved in independent music\art\communication for quite some time now how do you feel it’s changed over the years?

I think underground music has definitely become more of a marketed entity now. The politics and forward-thinking of punk has shrank a bit to a vague ideology and kids just look online to find out about shows and go as a stylistic decision opposed to a 'solace from the world amongst ideologically like minded people' decision. In some ways it is good as it has broadened the audience, in other ways it is sad as it has brought the beginning of the end of the independent record store in america, etc.. it's all just very different times and things are constantly changing more and more with the emergence of online social networks and what not. I'm not quite sure where things will end up but we are all... musicians, fans, artists, etc.. all trying to adapt within this structure and make it work so that we can continue to create and have an audience. One thing I do like is that there is more communication between artists and their fans and the myths of "rock stars" and stupid things like that are starting to fade.

8.How did you get involved with the Buddyhead Mp3 weblog? Is it something you plan to keep on doing in the future? How is\was working in a record store, like I read you have been doing?

I have known Travis and Aaron from Buddyhead for around 5 years from them initially liking Frodus. They have always asked me to write for their magazine and finally after they launched the mp3 blog it seemed like the easiest and most interesting way to contribute. In a way it is like me working at a record store as I gave suggestions when I had that job, I am doing it again through a digital medium. Working in a record store was the best job i had in my whole life. I worked there for 5 years and it was great seeing how it was a cultural hub for music lovers and musicians right outside the DC area! Extremely inspiring. It was also sad when it closed as it a way it was run out by larger chain stores opening in the area and simply the store running it's course of being around for almost 20 years! The personal interactions and the atmosphere of the record store felt like a coffee shop in some ways, so that leads me to believe that when I am older I will probably run a coffee shop in Sweden or somewhere in Europe!

Interview with Steve Kille - Dead Meadow


Poster by SPIKE PRESS

Dead Meadow have been together for a few years now, they've published one great record after the other, before on Joe Lally's Tolotta records and now on Matador. Their new album Feathers came out a few months ago and we sent a few questions to Steve Kille.Here are his answers.

1.I remember the first time I heard DeadMeadow I was immediately hooked: the things that came to my mind were so diverse from what I listened in the majority of other bands; there was a different kind of urgency in DM…When you started the band was the direction you took clear to you or was it a natural evolution?

Steve.I think it was clear that we wanted to do something different then what was going on around us. Maybe an anti-DC DC band. Not that what was going on there wasn't cool or viable but it was a chance to have our own musical experience. Once the initial sound was set in motion it of course like all bands it developed and began to represent all the different sounds we were picking up and getting into.

2.I’ve always felt that both in your music and in your lyrics the narrative component was a big part – it’s so difficult for a band to accomplish this and you have since your very first record – how do you think DM has accomplished to create such a distinctive feel?

Steve. I think we have always been fan of song oriented bands. The Stones rocked and made beautiful music but if you listen to vocals it becomes amazing. If a band can't capture all elements it is not a very good band. I am sorry, but to my ear you need to be strong in all areas to be solid. Of course music can be minimal but it needs to be right.. it needs the secret soulful part... decent lyrical content helps move it along.

3.Feathers is, in my opinion, a different record from Shivering Kings & Others; I feel that both in the structure and the sound there have been some changes, did this happen unconsciously between all of you? And having a new band member has helped you along this line?

Steve. I think it was pretty conscious decision to go about this new record differently. I don't think it is good to try to redo what we have already done so where SK was a record we wrote in the studio we wanted to make Feathers more of tight and worked out sound. Having more people to bounce off ideas with and more importantly be able to perform the music live in the studio helped a bunch to keep the tightness and live feel. It is even more interesting to me hearing some SK songs on live tapes we make from shows. They are so different and closer to what is happening on Feathers but then maybe that isn't right to the audience since they are familiar with the recorded material.

4.How have things been working with Matador, since this is your second record with them, are you happy the way things are going? Have you ever felt the need to start your own label or maybe start recording\producing other musicians music?

Steve. Matador has been great. Things can always be better, but that is the music industry. It is a hard business from the major down to the kid putting out his friend's band in his basement.. There is a ton of work to do.

Recently I have been producing some bands.. the Child Ballads who are exJonathan Fireeater... amazing stuff.

5.How does the writing process work for you? Do you stumble on ideas while jamming or does each band member bring in his ideas to work on? Did you have all the songs ready before entering the studio to record Feathers or did some writing take place while recording?

Steve. Basically we do create a bunch of the initial ideas during jamming and then take them to the next level by tweaking out sitting around the practice space debating different options. Of course there is some material the individual members bring in and that also goes through the process. Where Shvering King was a work in progress most of the Feathers songs we worked out in demos before going into a studio.

6.As a listener I’ve always wondered what kind of records you felt like inspiring to make music – and aside from the obvious influences that come across in your music – what bands are you into right now?

Steve.We have been digging a bunch of hiphop, old Wutang. I have been enjoying Super Furry Animals a lot recently... We are sort of record collectors at heart. anything goes.

7.How was it do start DM in Washington DC, and now that a few years have passed how do you feel people have reacted to your music in the place you live? Have you – as a person or as a band - ever considered moving somewhere else or are you happy about living in Washington DC?

Steve.Well I think the scene has lightened up a bit over the years. Probably the whole music scene everywhere in the states is a little more laid back now from New York to LA. When we started there was sort of a pretension that ran through a bunch of punk rock. I guess what was once this "real" scene was replaced by college punk kids trying to protect their cool level by hiding behind name dropping hip movies and books, I am guilty of that too. I think now in the circular nature of humanity the DC experience and probably of most places I have been seem more natural and toned down. Maybe people are enjoying life a little more? I prefer it that way... though at the moment I live in New York city DC is still a beautiful and amazing place... probably the prettiest city on the east coast.

8.I think you’re about to go on a full Us tour, are you looking forward to it? Did you record anything that didn’t end up on Feathers that you might want to release in the future, maybe as an ep? Do you already have new material on witch you are working on?

Steve. We actually just finished the tour and it was a great experience. Lots of inspiring shows and new friends. Certainly was a boost for future gigs. As for new material and I think we are always working on new material. We are fairly serious about it and have a bunch of recording gear to keep the songs flowing... so hopefully there will be not only a single but maybe a new record around the corner.

Thank you very much Steve for having this interview with us.

Interview with Robin Laananen

Come promesso ecco l'intervista con la fotografa RobinLaananen, il suo sito è www.redhedpictures.com - fateci un giro. In questi anni ha fotografato più gruppi di quanti riesca a pensare, ha curato il layout di dischi per i TheseArmsAreSnakes e i MurderCityDevils, questa è la sua intervista:

Photo by Robin Laananen - redhed pictures

1.When you started to make photographs did you imagine so much of your work would be on music? No, I had no idea that I would end up shooting things music. I knew I loved photography and went to shows, eventually I couldn’t go to a show without being front and center with my camera. I tried a few times...I didn’t know what to do with my hands, and I’d leave feeling like I was missing something.

2. What is your choice between digital & traditional cameras, if you have one – or do you use both indifferently?

All the cameras I own are film cameras, I have yet to make the digital purchase. I love film, I use certain films for specific results and never rely on my computer for alterations. Digital has it’s place, but I think, at least at this point, that it encourages people to be lazy. It’s so bad to be at a show, watch a photographer shoot, and the whole time they’re looking at the display after every shot. Ugh. It feels like they’re missing the whole picture...yeah, no pun intended. Shooting digitally can make it easy for someone to shoot knowing they can make corrections later....cheating.

3. How many tours have you been on as a photographer? How as this experience been as whole(between good and bad times)?

I had always been curious about the road and the sacrifices made to get there... so it just happened. I ended up on my first one after a liquor-fueled conversation with a friend of mine who was leaving for tour.

I’ve been on 6 tours as a photographer, most of which I was selling merch too, to claim a seat in the van. I love touring. Even the shitty times ~ when you’ve been driving for hours, haven’t showered in a couple days, starving and wearing dirty socks ~ it’s all part of the experience. And the shitty times gives you material to laugh about later... sometimes much, much later. The part that makes me most happy is photographing the more candid times, being trusted with all moments.

It’s helped me for when I’m home too, taking photos for music publications. I definitely understand when a band doesn’t want to be at a shoot, so I do my best to make it short and painless for the most part.

All this talk about tour....know anyone leaving soon?

4. Is it easy to start\keep on working for a music publications - having to move into a city like Seattle - or was it easy?

I had no idea why I was moving to Seattle except that my brother was there, the music scene seemed alive, and the few people I had met during a visit were doing interesting things. Now that I’ve lived here for a few years, I do realize how amazing this city can be at times. It’s a big city but still small. Nearly everyone I know has their hands in a number of projects, and the music community is very supportive of each other. Music photography will always be competitive no matter where you live, you just have to make sure you’re doing it for the right reasons. LA or New York would be the only other choices for a move...

5. What do you think is important in taking pictures of bands playing live?

Shooting a band live as though it’s for anyone who couldn’t make it to the show, make it so people can feel like they were there by looking at the photos. Look through the lens. Take photos that almost provide the “soundtrack” (a ”visualtrack” i guess) to a band.. If it’s high action, shoot high action, but if its a band like Godspeed You Black Emporer!, well then go with more moody, don’t try to shoot something that’s not there, that doesn’t fit the band... I don’t know if that makes sense.

6. Right now which bands do you feel are really exiting to watch live - which bands are you into right now? Exciting to watch live? The bands who are still around that come to mind ~ The Blood Brothers, Death From Above 1979, These Arms Are Snakes, The Locust, Chinese Stars, Plot to Blow Up The Eiffel Tower, And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead, Bloc Party, The Faint.... hmmm, there’s more... The bands I listed seem to play their best show nearly every night. No half-assing. I like more mellow stuff too like Calexico, Blonde Redhead, Radiohead (which I’ve always enjoyed live too), Ratatat, Dios, Explosions In The Sky, Massive Attack, Sade, the Zombies, the VSS, the Arcade Fire, ... I could go on forever really.

7. How big is your archive of live shows pictures? Have you ever thought about making a selection and publishing a book - something that would document your work ?

I have millions of photos. More portraits then live these days. And I would definitely like to put a book together, got plans in the works...
