quick interview with alice hui-sheng chang!

“The Taiwanese educational system is about community and less about the individual voice,” she says. “When I started to perform it was about finding my own voice early on before moving back to the group and finding that collective energy. You form a community while still voicing something that is alternative, different.”

reid karris, interviewed! by prepared guitar!

Can you describe a sound experience that you believe contributed to your becoming a musician?

* I grew up in the 80s and can remember a lot of music all around. I had two older siblings who were in high school in the late 80s and I can remember getting exposed to a wide variety of musical styles. While I don’t remember any one thing that made me think “I want to be a musician” I find myself to have been always interested in sound, and not just sound that is considered to be something we call music. I find that I have more sound experiences as time goes on, particularly those in nature or sounds of manmade contraptions and I always love when those two things go together, like birds singing along with an a/c window unit or something. I also definitely think that having children opened my ears up to a more chaotic outlook about sounds and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that I moved more in the avant direction once they came along.

interview with sarah rasines!

an interview with sarah rasines from radicalmente antisistema!

Eduardo Nabal: Hola Sarah. Sigues en la brecha de un trabajo no tan nuevo pero poco conocido. ¿Cuándo dejaste de oír y empezaste a escuchar?

Sarah Rasines: La música ha sido para mí siempre algo vocacional. Podía escuchar sin miedos, creo que he aprendido muy pronto a escuchar. Claro, luego en la carrera de Bellas Artes surgieron la eclosión de tecnologías y estas me llevaron a la música electrónica y a experimentar poniendo música a videos y clips sobre todo realizados por mí misma pero también de otros. Los conciertos de música techno, minitechno o experimental siguen siendo minoritarios aunque se van rompiendo prejuicios.
