| Q & A with MdW Q: Where does your artist name come from? A: Artist name? MdW are my initials. Q: Tell us more about your musical roots! A: My mum doesn't care what's playing, as long as shel recognizes something from when she was 16. My dad loves jazz. Didn't figure this out until I asked him about it when I was 18 or so though. By that time I's already discovered Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, and the entire Ninja Tune back catelogue though. Now I'm just glad at least a part of it overlaps. Q: How did you start producing music? A: I was 12 years old and had just finished several months of doing my first real job... when I had enough, I quit and went and bought a synthesizer... spent the rest of the summer figuring out MIDI. Q: Are you also a DJ? A: No, I am not. Q: Do you work together with other artists also? E.g. Remixes? A: I have, yeah. I've messed around with other artists, ranging from rearranging eachothers' files to live recordings with 'actual' musicians. All in good fun, nothing permanent though. Q: Do you have any special musical aims? A: Erm... Make at least two persons in the room bob their heads? Q: What do you think of the contemporary popular music which is played by normal radio stations? A: Some of it's good, some of it's bad. Define normal. Q: What have you read recently (book, play, film, etc.) that moved or surprised you? A: I just finished "A Million Little Pieces" by James Frey... Big hype after it came out, yes... still a good book, yes... if you're into drug/rehab/really-harsh-descriptions-of-not-so-happy-lives kinda books, that is. I also just finished "Stasiland" by Anna Funder, a book about the sectret service in the formaer east Germany. You wouldn't believe some of the interviews with actual people who lived through that. But on a completely different note I'd also like to note that everyone on the planet should go and see "Labyrintho Del Fauno" by Guillermo Del Toro, as well as "Little Miss Sunshine" ... ask me again in ten minutes and I'll come up with more. Ow and before I forget... Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman's "Good Omens". Hand it out at birth and have everyone come back in yearly to be quizzed on it. Nothing's ever amused me more. Q: What is your all-time favorite track? Why? A: Hard to say... can I name a few? Aw fuck it, I just will, in no particular order: - Any track off of DJ Shadow's Entroducing. - Apostrophe(') by Frank Zappa. - "Orange" by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. - "Pretty Hate Machine" & "TheDownward Spiral" by Nine Inch Nails. - Any and every damn last track ever released on Ninja Tune. Yes, these people inspired me to buy a sampler. - Ebo Man's "Donut's for Bhudda" ... hell yeah for(i=0;i<favoritesArray.length;i++) { eval("fav" + i).droneUp = random(allTheThingsILike); } this.gotoAndPlay(1); Q: What's one thing you're a fan of that people might not expect? A:Cooking! No wait, 50's horror flics! No wait, long walks... Erm, Japanese Bondage? No wait, think I'll stick with cooking. |
