Интервью

Interface - interview with Ahim.

1.When and why did you start to make spectrum music?

2.I suppose, the first technical experience you gained exploring
someone's tunes for samples, ornaments and other tricks. Who
was that spectrum musician who influenced your music and whom
you can call your teacher?

3.What was the first music editor that you used?

4.What do you think about your past as a spectrum musician, what
important moments in your progression can you note?

5.How do you think, do you have any fans, and what do you think
they particularly like in your music? Would you like to say
some words for them?

6.What musical instruments do you use (if you ever used) during
composing prosess? Do you have any experience of musicmaking on
other platforms? What do you think about it?

7.Do you like to criticize yourself? What is the weakest spot in
your techniques (rythm, melody, arrangement or something else)?

8.What kind of music do you listen, what bands / projects affect
you, what moods and feelings you try to put in your own
compositions? Remixes: what do you think of this?

9.What music compos did you participate in, what was the highest
rate and what do you think about your achievements?

10.What do you feel when your track is playing on a party? Are 
you concerned with sound equipment, people that vote or it 
doesn't bother you much?


11.Do you have any interesting ideas about the future of 
spectrum music? Maybe there are some hardware or software 
innovations that you would like to have?


12.What is the most interesting aspect in spectrum music 
composing for you - to perfect your skills within the bounds of 
one 'Style' or 'genre', or to continue the thorny path of

experiments with sound and techniques?

13.Can you tell us some your original ideas that you want to
realize in your music, maybe you want to make a demo or a game
soundtrack, maybe just to try what you have never tried yet,
the new field of applying your talent?

14.What do you think about co-operative composing, is it
interesting for you, whom would you like to make music with?
Please name three authors among the contemporary spectrum 
musicians that you like most.


15.Can you say some words of advise for those musicians who are
just starting out?
