The
interview with Constant flight, live @ The Lair @ Metro Theatre on
Thursday, March 26th for Emergenza Festival Australia:
PLEASE
TELL US SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR BAND: HOW AND WHEN WAS IT BORN?
Constant
Flight formed at the end of 2014 Including from former Solo
act Miracle
Remedy (Tom Baker), Adding Adam Bienkowski & Ryan Silberbach
(long time
friends) to the lineup. Each
have a unique blend of artistic integrity in their approach to
writing and
performing music. ConstantFlight was born so as electronic artists we could be
performing productions
live as opposed to playing a track by track set.
WHEN
DID YOUR INTEREST IN MUSIC BEGIN?
Tom
(Bakes) "I come from a post-hardcore & pop-punk background,
singing and playing
Bass guitar, it's cool bringing those influences into our electronic
compositions.
Adzy:"
Ye and I'm the piano man, which helps us to come up with the
basic ideas
on our melodies, Bakes knows what he's doing too.
Ryan
is the analyst and judgment guru, he is the outside and
absolute median
in the group with an appreciation for all styles of music, he
plays the
critic and suggests any final direction before they are finished.
AND
HOW HAS YOUR MUSIC CHANGED FROM THE MOMENT YOU BEGAN TO PLAY
TOGETHER?
Since
forming the 3 piece we have grown massively in our music
direction, being
forced into a slight compromise due to the different backgrounds
we all
have, however we believe now to have found our place in performing
live and
producing live sounding electronic.
#unitedelectronicfamilies.
Our
album is 117bpm-150bpm xD
HOW
DO YOU CREATE A SONG? (WHO WRITES LYRICS, WHO MUSIC, ETC...?)
Tom:
Usually
Adam or I will create the basis and structure of a track
seperately and
then come together in the studio and work on it, and then Ryan has
the finishing
critiques and comments on the final outcome of the track. We
have an unbelievably diverse collection of productions, we always
are thinking
about how we would perform our productions and how they would
fit into
a live setting.
HOW
WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR MUSIC TO PEOPLE WHO DOESN'T KNOW YOU?
We
aim to influence the listeners chemical balance. Whether that be
through relevant and thought provoking lyrics which are
percieved
uniquely due to each listeners circumstance, or through
the arrangement of the frequencies between the bass and mids with
relevance to the chord structure and melody selection, even in our
pure dance tracks we aim to have our tunes subconciously move the
listener in a direction of positivity and challenge the current
barriers of existence, in whichever field is percieved by them. We
aim to create a gateway or a safehaven that can be entered
and remembered.
WHICH
BANDS/ARTISTS INSPIRED AND INSPIRE YOU?
Our
inspirations come from everywhere, as our backgrounds are so
different, but
as a collective our main influences come from the artists that have
a genuine
integrity about their performances and music productions: Rage
Against The Machine, Porter Robinson, Deadmau5, Rusko, Pre 2013 Dash
Berlin, Claptone.
TALK
US ABOUT THE PECULIARITIES OF YOUR MUSIC!
We
don't restrict our tracks with genres so you can always expect
a variety
of responses from our fans and our live sets are always unique when
we are performing our own tracks, the journey is the same, the path
is just
slightly different.
WHAT
DO YOU EXPECT FROM EMERGENZA AND HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR
FIRST EMERGENZA
CONCERT?
We
are not really sure to be honest, it will be interesting to mingle
with full
on live rock bands, with our electronic take to live performing
with Ableton
Live 9, Touchpads, Drum Maschines and Keyboard amoung the Vocals
so will
be quite interesting to see how it all goes down :D
