What is music to you? What does it give you?

Music is, like philosophy, the reason why I still breathe.

What is your music dream?

I really hope to get the attention I believe we deserve so we can make a living out of it. I don't want to get rich - never cared much about money anyway. I just want to get the possibility to keep making music.

If you could change the world - what would you start with?

Anything with 'industry' in it.

Which is the most memorable song from your childhood?

'The End' by The Doors.

Who are your favorite musical artists or bands?

Sonic Youth, Nirvana, The Smashing Pumpkins, The Beatles, The Doors, Babes in Toyland, Katastrophy Wife, Oasis, Pixies, Pink Floyd, Therapy?, Dire Straits, Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, Kate Bush, Loreena McKennitt, ...

What inspires you to make music?

Melody as such obviously. Melancholy, hatred, the simplification and infantilisation of our society, ...

What is the message you want to send with your music?

Turn off the tv, get out off your fucking chair, put away your mobile phone, stop reading tabloids, listening to commodities and think for yourself.

How do you feel when you perform in front of an audience?

Completely and utterly alive.

How do you see the musicians’ reality nowadays? What could be improved?

Social media harm musicians. We need more gigs. We need a punk revolution.

What do you think of Drooble?

So far I think it's okay!

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Although I am aware of the irony, I have to say social media. Every nitwit who plays two chords thinks he/she is a musician and posts the most unbearable rubbish on the net. And that giant wall of pseudo music blocks the view to real artists.

Do you support your local scene as a fan? How?

No

What qualities should a musician nowadays have in order to get their music heard by a larger audience?

Seemingly none...
