mars Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Artist: ManMadeMan, Sonya Bailey Date: 02-02-07 By: InFecTeD_gOa Q: Could you tell us a little about yourself? (name, studies, age, hobbies…) Hi there, we are Sonya and Paul, parents producers and partners. Our hobbies are many, but music and UFO's are what really float our boat;) Q: How and when did you start to make goa? For which reasons did you originally choose to produce psychedelic trance music instead of another genre? We sort of fell into the trance scene, it was a party back in the 90's, a wedding of a friend of ours, and that was it, we couldn't find any other music that got us like trance did. there are other things that pushed us forward into making trance, a close encounter experience we had was the main reason, and still is for our continuation into trance. Q: Why ManMadeMan? Again, as above the name came about after the experience mentioned, it just seemed to fit everything we were trying to comprehend. Q: How did you met together? We met through Pauls band, rock I might add I was going to manage them, but trance just lured us away from that project, been together 13 years since then Q: Do you project to release a new album? When would it be released? Ahh, that is the question, we have a few surprise coming this year, thats all we can say for now Q: Which of your own tracks do you like the best? We love Welcome to the world and Karahana, but there are elements in all our tracks that we like, as well as don't like Q: Is there any artist you would like to work with? Eat Static has to be the one Q: Future projects? Keep going, try to survive, gig more, and the surprise mentioned before Q: What kind of equipment do you use to make your tracks? Macs, loads of plugins, loads of analogue synths, and a mackie desk as well as the Yamaha monitors Q: What are your favourite goa albums and artists? Hard question, Eat Static, and album, well again although not goa it has to be Implant. Q: When & where was your best party? And your worst one? Best Parties for us were the gigs in Birmingham, the Space Hopper parties years ago, everything was fresh and all our fellow artists and friends were starting out. We had so much funny, but very messy The Glade last year was a highlight as well, it really was an amazing festival, and big thanks to Ans (Nano) and Nick for that one. Worst one was for a guy in Israel, the club turned out to be a happy house club, we managed to clear the floor all apart from 2 people and we didn't get paid Q: What the best & worst thing that has happened to you as ManMadeMan? The worse thing has to be when we realized that our studio monitors and digital desk we had at one point were crap!!!! Best thing, when we brought our new desk and monitors Yipppeee. Q: Which other music styles do you like? All sorts, house, electro, electronica, classical, anything good Q: What do you do in everyday life except making music? look after our two young children, god that's hard And make music, thats it! Q: What do you think about free mp3 sites like emule? Great, as long as NOBODY'S making any money out of it! Q: What would you like to tell to yours fans? Were going on holiday to Wiltshire this year No really, big thanks for listening and supporting us with your amazing emails.
