delusional Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Hey there, Here goes a bit of our interview with Neuromotor, for your viewing pleasure. You can catch the rest of it at our website: www.psylosophy.com. Enjoy! -- There are those who may have thought Neuromotor had vanished in between so many new acts rising in the scene today. Some may have thought he decided to call it a day and stop for good. Well, they were dead wrong. Fred is coming back in full-power, better than ever, and promising an album that just screams out of rage from the first to the last second. We met Fred to discuss a bit about his second album, Bloody Reality, and here's your chance to get to know everything about it. Check it out! Psylosophy: Could you please introduce yourself? Who is Neuromotor? Neuromotor: Neuromotor is Neuromotor-ali, which was an Hip-Hop singer around his thirteen (laughs). Before that I had studied piano and violin... I listened mostly to all kinds of alternative music and also Pop and Funk. Around 15 I fell in love with acid music and, later on around 22, I was promoting parties and DJ'ing myself where I was living at the time, in the Caribean island Guadaloupe. Then I went to Ibiza, where I became resident DJ at the Kumharas and at that point, around December of 99, I decided to take part of this movement within the creation and the production. Psylosophy: You seem to have experienced a lot of different styles through your musical career. Do you feel like they've played an important role (as influences) in achieving the unique and peculiar sound you produce? Neuromotor: I don't know if my sound is kind of unique or something. Actually, I don't listen to trance at all anymore, only Trip Hop, Jazz, Psychedelic Funk and Classic... Well sometimes Pop, depends on the feeling of the day. But yeah, all my musical background inspired me quiet a lot. Actually you'll see in my new album that I've managed to be funky, jazzy and even give it a toich of blues... For sure! Psylosophy: When is this new album coming out? Neuromotor: It should be out soon... Psylosophy: On Mechanik? Neuromotor: No, on Third Eye Records, the Indian label I'm on right now. I'm about to finish the last track. It is a very interesting album for me, this time much more than the first one, 'cause I'm dealing with lots of shit I wanted to talk about. It is kind of a denunciation. Psylosophy: Do you have any name for it yet? Neuromotor: Bloody Reality. Each track treats a sublect and each track will be explained by a page with different pictures and text. It will have a booklet of ten pages. For exemple, there's one track called Bush the Antichrist. Then I'll tell you how and why I feel about it. And nine different tracks like that. Each one of those will represent negative and positive aspects of the subject I'm dealing with. Psylosophy: And how can the music itself relate to the title and the subject of it? Neuromotor: This is about my dreams and my feelings. Somehow I'm trying to get connected as much as I can to the subject. You know, let me explain: all is about resonance. Not to do any kind of spirituality or religious things you know, it's just scientifically sure. Whatever you decide to write, sing, play or even draw, it will create a vibration, electric reaction from your brain. So whatever you want to say or transmit, your energie will do it through your creation. Now that's also why I'll be writing down text and taking pictures here and there to make it more obvious. I also find out the title before I start any tracks, then I'll be able to give a color to this music and make it sound the way I want it to be. Hope you get me... (laughs) Psylosophy: Yeah, I see what you mean. It's actually nice to see people making music with a message, instead of just throwing something together Neuromotor: Yeap. I like the idea too. I need to say something more than just a beat and some sounds. At least throwing in a few words, then people do what they want with it. Psylosophy: Does the album deal with politics only or does it have any other subjects involved? Neuromotor: Well politics, I guess, is everything. How can I talk about love, life, nature, music, philosophy, whatever... It's always about politics. That's the way I see it. Politic is a words where you'll be finding ever the subject of life. So yeah, I'm talking about the children in the world who are manhandle, all sorts of things. This track called Children in the Dark is about those kids who work day and night in India, Korea or Thailand. And about those who are kidnaped or raped. Well, everything... Then one is about the system: something's wrong with it. All about money, power and mind control to help others who have all this and are manipulating the whole world. This is one Dirty Society. Then there's one about the power of love called the Cyclone... Few exemples. Psylosophy: Sounds nice Neuromotor: Let's see when it comes out (laugh) Psylosophy: Haha, yeah. I'm pretty confident it won't be disappointing though Neuromotor: Well I've been working on it for eight months now. I gave everything I had and everything I knew. We'll see how it turns out. The album opens with a Trip Hop Psycho Breakbeat track at 80bpm. Then the rest is full-on psycho. Psylosophy: I always thought Trance would be a great musical style to make this kind of music, that actually has something to say and that tries to make people see there's a lot of things going on in our society right now that shouldn't be. The thing is, unlike other musical styles, Psytrance does not have lyrics (well, at least it didn't... now, not so sure), which can make it difficult to pass a message across. Did you find it hard to overcome this or do you think you don't need any lyrics to get your point across? Neuromotor: I'm sure you don't. It isn't necessary to say anything, it's the way I act when I play and when I give my music to the crowd that does it, a certain attitude. Well, actually, ok you need a few words. I talked a bit at every single party at the end of my set, just saying why I play, explaining my love for the crowd and sending some words of love, peace and unity to this world. So maybe a few words are necessary... not much, though. It's all about energy... The way you give the sound will be understood, I'm sure. Well at least that's my opinion. And for those who buy the CD so they'll read and see the pictures and all, so... -- Check out the complete interview at www.psylosophy.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It lights up their day: "Another 5 minutes of my life wasted to a foreign topic, waauw i'm such an aware person." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krelmatrix Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Interesting interview. I will be hearing him play a live set on Saturday, so I'm intrigued to hear what it all sounds like. I've heard very little of his music before. Regarding political humor - it's often the best kind since politicians make such easy targets of themselves.

Ormion Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I'll be honest and say that I didn't enjoy his album Neuro Damage, but I like his new stuff a lot! I heard the samples in the new 2cd comp from Mechanik Sound and sound great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slyman604 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 yea bush is great,mostly fucking bankrupting my country...i would prefer he did nothing. I cant wait for this album, to me neuromotor IS dark trance, everything else just sounds wimpy or stupid in comparison as far as dark trance goes. A love song by neuromotor... i dont know about that one though. A funny story my friend told me about seeing neuromotor live. When they got to the venue there was this weird guy dancing like a monkey right in front of main speaker to one of the opening acts. He had never seen a picture of Fred before and then later in the night when they recognize the first neuromotor track has started its the dancing monkey guy in control of the show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
