polygon: Hello guys, greetingsfrom Latvia. How isgood old Germany doingthese days?@noiZe: Hi there! Can't saywhat's going on here thesedays as we are currently toobusy working on our nextlongplayer to recognise it. Butthings are going very well forus. Thanks for asking.polygon: When I was a teenagerI sometimes used towork in some factories in mycity. I really hated it, but itwas good and fast money.However, in these days I feltwhat "human alienation” wasall about. Being part of themachine, the merciless system of moneyaccumulation. According to yourbiography, "Eletronoid” deals with theconsequences of the technical and digitalrevolutions. What exactly are theoutcomes of the last two decades developmentfor the evolution of humanbeing?@noiZe: That's a good question, as we justinstalled our 750GB divX player, full ofporn in our studio, 5min before. L.O.S.:...and two zombie movies@noiZe: No doubt, the Internet is a hugestep in evolution. When we grew up, therewere only analogue wired telephones, andnow the I-phone in our pocket connectsus to a world-wide collective 24h a day.We've all become small cyborgs. We takewhat the wire gives us.L.O.S.: ..and what if this wire will be cutone day?@noiZe: And of cause Laboga guitar ampsare also a great invention in our century.polygon: Your overall concept, e.g. lyrics,outfits and music, has an obviousconnection to the "Brave New World”.The way how you create your music, byusing sound software, programmeddrums and synthesizers, wouldn’t beable without the rapidly developingtechnical skills of mankind. On onehand you have a critical eye on our today’ssituation, on the other hand youdon’t miss to use present advantages tocreate your own visions. How does thatfit? If there is an alienation of humanbeing that should be criticised,wouldn’t it make more sense just to sitin the woods and smash some acousticdrums to the melodies of a flute?L.O.S.: That's easy to answer as the questionis wrong. We don't criticise the technicalrevolution at all. If it all leads to thedestruction of us, that's the way it has tobe, and that's fine with us. @noiZe: Artshouldn't be critical in my eyes. We arejust painting pictures. Yes of course, ourpaintings are not the nice looking ones.Expressionism 2.0 maybe.polygon: As you may have noticed ourwebpage deals with vanguard art exclusively.Since the launch of avantgardemetal.comthere has been a lively discussionabout what this term reallymeans and how one should define thisstyle (not to speak about its musicalgenesis). My dictionary tells me that"avantgarde” is originally a militaryexpression, which stands for the soldiersin a battle who fight in the veryfirst row and who are supposed to diefirst. Do you feel sometimes like a warriorof the first row and how do youdefine "avantgarde metal” for yourself?@noiZe: I simply don't want to define it.For the warrior in the first row the wholeterrain is undefined. We are not makingmusic to be industrial, avantgarde orwhatever metal. I hate bands who are hidingbehind a genre. Definition leads toroutine and routine means death to theart.L.O.S.: Those who put us into these gen-
es are the listeners. That's OK....you maydo that if you want to, but we are onlymaking music.polygon: Would you consider[D]edaken[Z] to be part of this movement?@noiZe: No, I don’t think we are. Maybe alot of our fans are part of this movementand we like a lot of bands that are putinto this genre (Ram-Zet or Dagoba forexample), but music does not have to bein a special genre to be interesting for meand the most of our fans. Music shouldcreate impressions and play with our feelings.L.O.S.: It just has to feel good. Some feelcomfortable when they receive pain, somewhen they fuck with groups of teenagestudents and some when they are listeningto our music.polygon: As far as I know, you startedas more or less common melody BlackMetal act. What music had an influenceon "Elektronoid”? Do you have any ideawhere this journey might end?@noiZe: Puh...can’t remember anymore.Of course we are influenced by otherbands, feelings, weather, guitar amps,drugs, sex or whatever, but you don'tthink about a why....that's why we makemusic. If you say: "Hey maybe in thissong, you must have been influenced bythis or that?”, I would say:”Yeahh...maybe, but it's not important tome. Important is: There is this song and itsounds good to us, and it makes us feellike we wanted to feel, when we wrote it.”L.O.S.: exactly...polygon: Lets go oncemore back to the digitalrevolution. The Internetoffers a lot ofpossibilities for musicianslike you and me.Platforms such asmp3.com or myspaceprovide a meta-levelbetween artist and fan,where nobody really isdependent on a recorddeal to spread his orher ideas and visions.It's possible to reach alot of people in differentcountries all overthe world. This might beseen as the total freedom of expression.Anyhow, I have very negative feelingsabout music as "User Generated Content”.The value of art is decreasing asit is available at the push of a button.For me one should invest some effort inorder to get music. One should walkout into the city, or at least call a mailorderand wait for something someoneworked hard for with pure devotion. Atleast something should rotate when Ilisten to music and it shouldn’t justexist of bits and bytes.What are your feelings towards the inventionof mp3 and "innovations” likemyspace? As far as I know you publishedyour album before the regularrelease on CD in the Internet. Why didyou do that and what was your experience?Will you continue to first providethe music of [D]ekaden[Z] online?L.O.S.: Yes you are right. I also prefer havingmusic on a real CD with nice jewelcase and booklet, but we have just enteredthe next generation. Most people ofour generation have never seen a gramophone,those of the next generation willmaybe never own a tape. The kids, growingup today are downloading their musicvia itunes on their ipod (we are not sponsoredby apple!!!) or their mobile and nobodyknows what comes next. We won’tchange that. Everything old will die oneday and something new will be created.That's evolution.polygon: When I saw your live appearanceat the Nebelmond-Festival inGermany (with avant-garde godfathersARCTURUS – lucky bastards!) after theconcert some of you guys were sitting
