Just before the gig, Republica caught up with him to say hello. [break]
Tell us something about your music.
It’s very experimental, avant-garde noise. I use a lot of thrift-store equipment to create my music. I started out by playing music in my own bedroom with very few equipment and a computer. It has evolved from there.
What usually is the theme of the songs you create?
Love, mostly. The topics are realistic. My music has to do a lot with loss and my life experiences of moving and travelling.
How did Nepal happen?
Playing in Nepal is part of a big tour that we’re on right now. We started in Japan and then China and we will be going to Bangkok after Nepal. After that, we will be touring in the US as well as in Europe.
How does it feel to be here, for the first time?
This is very foreign and abstract but cool. It’s also very comfortable here.
Do you think the local audience will be able to identify with your music?
In some ways, yes! When we’re walking on the streets, we can hear all the music shops playing electronic music. And, we hear that trance music is popular here. My music is a lot darker than that, but I’m sure people here will like it.
