Excerpt from the interview:
Fifteen Questions – An Moku & Yes It’s Ananias about Sonic Time Travel and Playing for the Deaf.
The past is mentioned as a source of inspiration specifically in the press release. Why is music such a great tool for travelling towards the heart of the past?
Dominik: Like music, the arts in general, such as literature, gastronomy, painting and the performing arts, are a medium. It is a tool with the help of which “a product” can be created. Depending on how receptive we are or how strong this product is, it has the power to do something with us.
In this case, it is music that can trigger something. Be it memories of conversations, or general events. Images are created in the mind, which in turn can evoke smells and colours in some people. These are very strong connections.
A very close friend of mine sees colours because of the synaptic neural connections in her brain. I always have her listen to my music beforehand to be sure that a desired colour scale has been hit.
For me personally, hearing, followed by tasting, triggers the most intense memories. In my case, even more than the sense of sight.
Nicolas: In a very observative and biological way it is nothing but magic. It’s molecules within the air that are crossing towards our eardrums, which in turn vibrates and in a very effective way pours signals into our brain.
Connectionwise in there, we kind of like a supercomputer, calculate these vibrations as electrobiological ones and zeros. It occurs to our senses that certain chemicals will be released and then, only then, our body reacts. Our nervous systems are genuinely thriving for such highs. Many chemicals are being released, and this is what makes our body respond in a certain way mostly.
Each and every nerve in our system genetically reacts to these impulses. Which is why we have learned to deal and systematically put feelings into boxes and live mostly after them. Or else; God is not here to be understood or seen, but felt. It’s a way of purest communication. Music is the way to connect wether we want it or not. It does something to our body.
I was in a rockband once and played a sold out clubshow to a community of deaf people. It was the most cheerful applause and energy within thankfulness they gave towards us artists.
Only vibrations. Pure physical energy.
