THE DEMIX INTERVIEW

Monday, October 20, 2008

"I can't just listen to one song on a record - it's like I need to hear what was made to come before and after it or else I feel empty."

The Demix is an independent experimental electronic artist from Milwaukee (US), who creates a cinematic nightmare of brutal noise, broken beats, eerie ambience and destroyed samples.

Call him a DJ, a mixologist or sonic manipulator: The Demix sound is something hard to describe. It's dark and layered with an insane sauce of horrible weirdness. Some might say it has a touch of darkest possible DnB. Whatever: It's very high impact! Hate it - or love it...

'Must be a fan of NIN' - we thought when we stumbled into his MySpace, and dropped the guy some questions.

Why do you make music?

"I suppose the simple answer is because I have to. It's just there inside me, and it's something I've been doing since I was very young. There are these sounds that are in my head that need to get out in the world. Not only sounds, but my emotions and stories that I need to get out. It's a release for me and it's very personal.

Music speaks to me and I hope my stuff speaks to the listener on some level - whether it freaks them out or they love it or hate it. I will always be making this stuff I call music."
