There is a big difference, mainly cause I make everything on my own from music to vocals. It also gives me room to explore things I haven’t been able to before… I learn to explore the ways of making music from scratch and I mean everything from a beat to a melody. Before I only wrote lyrics and recorded vocals, now I am the god of my own music. I can do whatever the f*ck I want and nobody can tell me what to do. What should we expect from your first album? And why did you call your band like this actually!?
to reflect and show my feelings and sound to the crowd through myself. This will of course be backed up by some really nice backing projection. I love to communicate with the crowd and feed from the energy they give back. Am i wrong to see this project more as a personal catharsis?
nical person and I exist so it kind of makes sense, doesn’t it? Will you also be performing live with this one-man band?
In a way yes, since I can write about anything and do whatever I feel like doing...The lyrics are personal experiences and of course personal thoughts and feelings. I write about things that I have seen or done, or what I actually want to do or think. It all comes down to what kind of state of mind I am in or how I feel at a particular moment. This also reflects the sound of my album, it’s mostly dark and angry but there are still a few rays of lights that shines through in the darkness.
You can expect a album with a lot of personal influenced and variations of dark electro. Dark, personal and angry. And maybe even a bit playful! I called the project cos I’m a cynical person! People are arrogant, stupid and self centered. And of course egoistic. I am a cy-
I Already performed a couple of shows actually and I’m planning on playing more next year. Cynical Existence is me so of course it What’s next? will be based around me. It might sound like an egoistic thing but it Get out and play live and work on will revolve around me since I try new material.
