whole different experience. I do prefer tolisten to music in my free time but I oftentry to steal some time for a good book also.The South Park version of the famousDOL AMMAD band picture is great. Areyou a South Park fan or did you justlike the idea of having a funny caricatureof DOL AMMAD? Which musician’scartoon do you like most? I think DCCooper is portrayed very well.Yes I love South Park! Our good friendNtennis Papakostas had this idea to do aSouth Park version of Dol Ammad usingonline software that someone has created.Ntennis sent me an email asking for mypermission and for some details of themembers! Like who have blue eyes etc! Ithink he did an amazing work and reproductionof the entire band but I can’t stoplaughing with Alex Holzwarth and hisbongos! I also like my lightsaber ;-POkay, Thanasis, thank you a lot for thevery pleasurable conversation. I amsure we’ll talk again soon on yourforthcoming works in 2008. The lastwords belong to you.Thank you Chrystof and the rest of theAGM crew for the amazing support andpure friendship! It was an honour and oneof the best interviews I’ve experienced. Iwould also like to thank all our fellow musictravellers and to ask their patience forthe upcoming Dol Theeta releases. Variousreasons beyond my powers made itimpossible for me to make a 2007 release.What I can promise is that in the firstmonths of 2008 you will be presented witha massive album. A huge music adventureof space melodies and inner emotions thatI am sure you’ll love. To my ears it feelslike the best music I’ve written so far inmy life. I wish you all the best for the NewYear, may you live free and happy andmay you never stop dreaming! Space on!=)Chrystof----------------------------------------------------CARRIER FLUXWarrior On The Edge Of TimeThere are many bands and artists currentlyproclaiming to be the advance guard ofmetal, and many more being heralded assuch by the critics and the fans. But oncepast the hype and upon listening to themusic, few seem deserving of such praise.Everything has been done and done betterbefore it seems. Once in a while a light ofpure artistic vision permeates this quagmire,bringing forth a truly orginal soundand taking metal places it has'nt been before.One such visionary is Jeff aka Carrier Flux,a studio project that embraces diversity,heaviness and darkness in its multifacetedsound. It refuses to be pigeonholed,instead bounding forward into the unknownwith each release. Jeff has unleashed2 killer albums to date and ispresently hard at work on the third one. Iam especially excited beacuase he givesvery few interviews and this a sort ofwww.avantgarde-metal.com exclusive.First of all, kudos on releasing anamazingly original and diverse extrememetal album in In Waste (2002).Though more than 5 years old now, itstill sounds fresh and cutting edge today,the true mark of all great music.How long have you been playing music?What band(s) were you playing in beforeCarrier Flux ? Did you align yourselfwith any particular scene?I've been writing and recording music forabout 16 years. I started by recordingsongs on a four track with a drum machine,and when I was about 16 I joined a
thrash band who I played with for about ayear. A couple years later I also startedplaying in a band called cold colors, a melodicmetal band from Minneapolis. Sometime after that, I performed with and recordeda few albums in a dark ambientgroup called Vedisni. Throughout all ofthis I was slowly working out the ideasthat became Carrier Flux. I never alignedmyself with any particular scene, butwhen Carrier Flux first started evolving, Iwas definitely most influenced by blackmetal.What inspired you to form Carrier Flux? Did the freedom and focus of having a100% solo project have something todo with it?The project first started out as a means toget ideas down on tape, but I found myselffinishing songs and eventually albums;and began to really enjoy the act of concentratingall my energy on making musicwith no distractions. There's always atrade-off when doing everything yourself ofgaining freedom but losing input fromother artists, but I've found that workingon my own is the best way for me to beproductive.What were your thoughts (as best youcan recall) during the recording of theband's debut , Introspective Nighmare(2000) ? Did you acheive the goals youset out to acheive? One can hear thebeginnings of a very original sound,part Death/Black Metal, part gothic /death folk, and part industrial metal.When I was fleshing out the ideas for thatalbum I was listening to a lot of industrialand blackmetal. I really wanted to mix thetwo without compromising the emotionalcontent of either style. I didn't have anyspecific goals, other than to make interestingmusic that conveyed a certain feeling.I'd like to think I achieved those goals.The transition of sound between the firstand second album in terms of productionand composition is astounding. Was2000-2002 a period of major musical progressionfor you?In between the first and second albums, Ijust had a lot more focus on what I wantedto accomplish. I made a few gear purchases,andmade improvements at using what I had.How has your recording set-up changedover the years ? What is your basic rig,in terms of hardware and software?I've very gradually improved my setup bypurchasing equipment when I can affordit. I try to keep things pretty basic as faras gear goes. A couple of decent mics, acouple synths, a good mic preamp, ahardware compressor and EQ, and a goodguitar rig are pretty much all I rely onbesides software. One major improvementI made since the recording of the first twoalbums, was purchasing a Mesa guitaramplifier. I was using a solid-state amppreviously, and I believe the new recordingsI'm working on have a much fullersound, partially as a result of this.When Black Lotus folded up, was it atough period for you?Things had gone sour with Black Lotusbefore they started having problems, sothis really wasn't an issue for me.Seeing that you have offered both youralbums for free download, despite beingavailable on CD, what are yourthoughts on the internet's impact onmusic and the music industry?
