What are your musical backgrounds and influences
and what was your first experience with music?
Punk rock and post punk stuff, classical music (such
as Vaughan Williams) and lots of early electronics
are all major influences.
Where are the sounds coming from?Are they entirely analog?
Are you experimenting with new machines?
We’re still developing a sound that we all like, often
we know what is required to suit a track and we use
a variety of methods to design our sound.
Often we get there by misusing the equipment,
making machines do things they weren’t meant to or c
haning things together that don’t really go.
We also pull the recordings apart, and try and make
sence of the madness.
Do you feel positive about the future of underground
music?
No!
We know that your music is released only on vinyl
and not digitally.
Is there any particular reason for
that?
Vinyl is beautiful! It’s an incredible medium. For us,
we respect a vinyl release as being a tangible and
real thing, hopefully that lasts.
How would you describe the music that you are
making?
Disruptive?
Which other artists are you into? Do you buy vinyl
yourself?
Delinquent Dialect: Right now I’m listening to a lot of
old acid house and I’m quite digging a lot recent
Techno, such New York Trax and Paul Birken.
I tend to like my techno more aggressive than what
it has been the past decade. You know, something
you can actually dance to.
What do you think about the future of the internet?
It will be regulated, and controlled.
How does it work when three of you are working remotely from each other? Do you ever disagree with the process of making music?
We are great friends. We argue a lot, and unfortunately one of us tend to compromise. This means that getting the results we are after can be a
tricky path, although we are all after the same thing.
it doesn’t seem to slow us down, we are quite prolific.
The music is what matters.
Do you release music individually apart from t15DM?
We all have various other side projects-I’m sure you ‘ll
hear some of that later.
What projects are you working on at the moment?
Can we expect new releases from T15DM?
There are a couple of releases planned, hopefully
before too long.
Thank you!
