When you make a remix or find the inspiration for a famous song, you often remain dependent on the original sounds. One of the strong points of this project in my opinion was being able to collaborate with musicians and singers as if it were an orchestra, trying as much as possible to create new and original things. a little hardware (Virus B, Electribe MX and SX) and for some specific sounds I often go to arrange the songs in the studio of friends to record sythn, effects or analog drum machines (such as Juno 60, TB.303, Space echo RE 501).įor composition and arrangement I play piano and percussion. (Stabfinger) Mainly software (Ableton Live for composition) and logic to finalize the projects. (Prosper) That’s more a question for Nicolas (Stabfinger) I can say that we are on Abelton and work as often as possible with musicians who are also our friends (guitar player, bass player, sax player etc) but Nicolas is the geek so he will tell you more (lol) What gear are you guys using in your studios? I've always been fond of modular synths and generative music, so I tend to create modular systems and patches for the composition and rhythmic parts, which I then break down and adapt to the song. I think the important thing is to have a quick idea of the whole so as not to get lost, but I always like to start from 0 to try my best to make original and not repetitive things. Sometimes I start from a melody played on the piano, sometimes I look for inspiration starting from a sample that I then break down and distort, the beauty of music is that the possibilities are endless. I come from live music so in that process, for example, I usually create the session, record it and keep the best parts which I then put into shape to build the song. (Stabfinger) It depends on both the type of music and how the idea of the song is organised. That’s what I like generally with english music, there are no borders, only crossbreeding. They got their own style and we can feel a very large field of musical influences. My heroes for exemple are The Chemical Brothers : they are very hard to classified In the past we had sometimes ideas from Stab or both together… We have a very eclectic musical background from Big Beat to Techno from Rock to Hip Hop, Jazz, World Music….etc. For this E.p for example tracks were originally rough drafts from me and Stabfinger transcended them ! More seriously, I think we don’t have a locked creative process. (Prosper) good question wich I could not answer to keep our secret safe (haha). I am curious: what does your creative process look like? This EP is diverse with style and sounds. So it was a challenge to keep our touch alive, I guess according to feedback we get : the job is well done (lol)Īs we are very musically open minded we wanted to put on the same dancefloor an electro fan, a disco dancer and a breakdancer ! We wanted a really positive E.P (more than usual) and this is the first one we didn’t make next to each other (because of the lockdown obviously). You guys just released a jam-packed party smasher EP Body In Flexion on Bombstrikes Records. We hope it will a liberation for everyone! We need to celebrate again! We are good (despite the situation we all know), as artists it’s our job to bring joy to our audience, so we guess this function is essential now and more than ever! But health is good, friends and family are safe, inspiration is here and we’re just really really looking forward to going back on stage again! All hopes are directed to next spring. First, how are you doing?īonjour it’s good to be here I guess it’s the beginning of fame lol !
