press and share with our friends. It is when<br />
this third "Dol” project <strong>com</strong>es out that our<br />
listeners will finally have the total picture of<br />
my music and understand my vision. All I can<br />
say now is that it will be something really<br />
extreme, an audio-violence experience that<br />
will amaze and shock you!<br />
Will this probably go a bit into the direction<br />
of "Thalassa Dominion IV”? There<br />
are several very dramatic and dissonant<br />
parts in this song and also some hyperspeed<br />
blastbeats?<br />
Yes there will be inhuman blastbeats in this<br />
darker project but it will be nothing like Thalassa<br />
Dominion IV, you really haven’t heard<br />
anything like this before… If Dol Ammad<br />
sound unique, then this is ages more alien to<br />
the ears. It is an audio violence that scares<br />
the hell out of all my friends when they visit<br />
me while I work on this stuff ;-P Imagine the<br />
cruellest grind-gore death<br />
metal band but with an<br />
electronica speedcore<br />
instrumentation! But<br />
that’s for the future to<br />
<strong>com</strong>e… ;)<br />
You seem to be a very<br />
spiritual man. I read<br />
somewhere that you<br />
are practising Yoga<br />
and also have a certain<br />
interest in topics like<br />
astrology. What do you<br />
think about so called<br />
esotericism? Of course<br />
you can also choose<br />
another word for it,<br />
since "esotericism” has<br />
been misused a lot<br />
within the past decades.<br />
I am a man that thinks a<br />
lot, in every second of my<br />
life my brain is in constant thoughts and<br />
ideas and in day-dream-imaginations. I often<br />
suffer from insomnia, megalomania and lack<br />
of concentration into what is known as "real<br />
life”. I always <strong>com</strong>pare everything that happens<br />
to mega-cosmic and micro-cosmic<br />
scales and this can be very tiring sometimes<br />
especially when you try to relax. I am very<br />
interested in Yoga but not so much in astrology.<br />
Maybe you confused it with astronomy<br />
which is a fascinating science. Regarding<br />
esotericism, as in knowledge that few can<br />
grasp and remember, I think we are heading<br />
towards ages of esotericism since the huge<br />
clueless masses are undereducated in a world<br />
where knowledge is so freely and easily<br />
available. You can see it in all aspects of life,<br />
49<br />
music – art – politics – society. An elite-few<br />
in a world of zombies…<br />
With mega-cosmic and micro-cosmic<br />
scales to you mean thinking in fateful<br />
analogies? Like e.g. bears escape from<br />
the zoo in several American cities and at<br />
the same time a bear market arises at<br />
the New York Stock Exchange? And you<br />
think there may be a secret relationship<br />
between those coincidences, an analogical<br />
relationship between microsphere<br />
and macrosphere?<br />
Yes and no at the same time. Even the words<br />
"Yes” and "No” which often carry the result of<br />
a decision can be a microsphere and macrosphere<br />
respectively. My mind drifts helplessly<br />
through thoughts like when I make a cup of<br />
coffee at the same time a supernova blasts a<br />
star into shock waves of energy. This fusion<br />
was the result of years of the star’s aging<br />
under which star a centipede<br />
on earth is devouring a rat or<br />
a mother scorpion is carrying<br />
its first scorplings on her<br />
back. It’s this constant zoomins<br />
and outs that go on inside<br />
me…I can’t know if they<br />
mean anything or if there is a<br />
secret relationship between<br />
them… It would be scary if<br />
there was.<br />
Can insomnia be an inspiring<br />
state of mind for you?<br />
Do you often create music<br />
while being sleepless and<br />
overtired? Or is it more a<br />
state of mind where you<br />
cannot concentrate on<br />
proper musical work anymore?<br />
Yes I am creative when I am<br />
tired and stressed. But it<br />
starts to have an impact on<br />
my health, I can’t remember<br />
the last time I was relaxed mentally…<br />
You said you aren’t a big fan of song<br />
lyrics. What about books? Do you have<br />
any favourite authors? Or do you prefer<br />
sound over word in general?<br />
Oh no, I love books! My favourite authors are<br />
Douglas Adams and Phillip Pullman. I just<br />
don’t pay that much attention to words when<br />
I listen to music. It is a whole different experience.<br />
I do prefer to listen to music in my<br />
free time but I often try to steal some time<br />
for a good book also.<br />
The South Park version of the famous<br />
DOL AMMAD band picture is great. Are
