Our dearest And.Id makes a comeback this summer, releasing his<br />
first personal album, titled ‘Eternal Return’. During our chat he<br />
spoke about his work, the process <strong>of</strong> creating an album and how<br />
it feels to ground your livelihood on music.<br />
Good evening Andrea, first <strong>of</strong> all, thank you for your time.<br />
Good evening and thank you for having me in <strong>UrbanStyleMag</strong>.<br />
Eternal Return. The title <strong>of</strong> your new album and also the title <strong>of</strong> one <strong>of</strong> Nitzsche’s<br />
works. Music- Art in general- always travels back in time, for better or worse...<br />
Something people wish they could achieve... Is this concept related to your title?<br />
The notion <strong>of</strong> eternal returne was revealed to me during a conversation I happened to<br />
witness. I studied the term and then found it in music and consequently in my every<br />
day life.<br />
Even though I ‘m not some sort <strong>of</strong> Art expert, I can say that in music we surely notice a<br />
recycling <strong>of</strong> older ideas, enriched and tangled with new, contemporary elements.<br />
I ‘d like to think that my album manifests this blend. The title mostly refers to the<br />
switching and repetition <strong>of</strong> emotions which are expressed through my music.<br />
How did you know you were ready to release your first personal album? Did it come<br />
up spontaneously after a constant production process or were you aiming at it?<br />
I consider this particular album a personal, musical anthology. I had many ready tracks<br />
which were created during different periods <strong>of</strong> my life but never suited works I released<br />
in the past. So I decided to complete the “puzzle” writing some additional tracks and<br />
Releasing a personal album is surely a big deal. What difficulties<br />
did you have to overcome and how did you do that? I think<br />
it’s a process that comes out naturally. After being in this scene<br />
for quite some time I felt the need to show something more thorough<br />
in terms <strong>of</strong> this particular sound, so this is how the album<br />
was brought forth.<br />
Finally, is it stressful or restrictive when music is your livelihood?<br />
I mean, do you ever feel you have to tame or even sacrifice<br />
your creativity or spontaneity, for the sake <strong>of</strong> livelihood?<br />
Being able to do what I love for living is a great pleasure. I ‘m<br />
surely stressed like everyone, but I try to adjust my work according<br />
to the audience, which doesn’t necessarily mean I limit my<br />
creativity.<br />
The collaborations I make and my side projects, such as my<br />
band, work protectively and keep me from feeling confined.<br />
