First say welcome
to this written interview for Cian Orbe blog. This time we did an interview to the dark electronic, witch house music composer Dedalos.
- What is the meaning of the word "Dedalos"?
It comes from one of my favorite writers: James Joyce. In his book “The Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man” I was inspired by his protagonist Stephen Dedalus. I just changed one letter. Also I like the story about Dedalus and Ikraus from the greek mythology.
- Which are the concept behind your music project, how you categorize your own music?
My music is emotional and atmospheric. More than just sadness and melancholy. It’s not fair to limit my music to negative emotions. There is much more: you feeling so much more when you will be responsive for humanity. For sure you can’t feel anything if you’re not emphatic.
It’s hard to categorize my music. It has elements of different genres that you can’t categorize easily. My album “Love” and the EP “Lenity” I would catogorize it as my own sub-genre: Emotional Witch House.
- Do you release music only under Dedalos name? do you have other active or past music projects?
Yes, I have more projects but I prefer not mention them. Sometimes it’s better for the creativity to be anonymous.
- Favorite music genres?
Hard to say but my favorite maybe is Witch House.
- In what year did you start making music? which was your first band/project?
Started it 2017. Under the name “Dedalus”. Later was renamed to “Dedalos”
And now, I never thought to give an interview for Cian Orbe. Thank you!
- Which inspiration you have from the place where you live? There's some inspiration from your country in your music?
My country don’t give none inspiration. Maybe my main inspiration is go away from here. I think that my inspiration is totally inside of me.
- Which are your favorite music projects and visual/plastic artists who inspire your work?
I find inspiration from different artists and bands like: Archive, Anathema, Lil Peep, Veto, Gazpacho, IC3PEAK, Crystal Castles and much more. But at the end, every time i think the same: none artist inspired me totally because my music can only exist if it’s unaffected or unalterable.
- How do you see the current Witch House / Dark Electronic music scene?
Now It gives many talented artists.
-Favorite dark electronic, witch house composers?
BLVCK CEILING, badass wolf shirt, ZOMBIERAVE, Crystal Castles, IC3PEAK, +d33b+
- How was the experience of play live performances. tell us about it.
I never played live in Germany but yes in Milano, Italy: I was very nervous but it’s incredible to share my music and emotions with the crowd. I meet many artists: Tying Tiffany aka Laurapalmer, RedHat aka Deyeying from Hooded Leaders, Arnak and the guys of the EK4T3 Collective: D3M0N, D4rk3r Side, PxL and more. Big thanks and much love to EK4T3 to organize this events. Thanks for all Davide!
- Which is your favorite song or composition and album created by yourself?
I like the song “Remedy”. It starts slow but with progressive sound. After the half of the track and turns more electronic as the first half.
The album “Love” is my saddest work and every track fits to the concept. Start like a circle with the end of a relationship and ends with love. I think that is crazy. A suffer episode is so hard and brings you to the limit to bear of pain but you have still have the courage to suffer again when you find someone new and it’s great. The circle begins again and again... Music to cry.
- Tell us about the concept & the creation process of one of your latest work "Mantra" self-released
There is not much to say about it, I answered this previously but about my album “Love.” And if i tlak about “Mantra” I don’t had really a concept for this one. I felt relieved after end the production of “Love” album and later, i started with “Mantra” and that’s all. I feel that is really easy work on something what you don’t need a strict concept. So I was free to work on “Mantra” without giving it much thought and I had fun with the production.
- Tell us about the underground music scene in Germany, and which are your favorite artists from your country?
Well, one artist from Germany “Dazzling Malicious” tried this year to organize a Witch House event with FLESH, PEAKi, Noire Antidote and me. But sadly was canceled. But I hope we can play live together in the future. I can tell you that Witch House music events are very very rare in Germany.
- Any anecdote that you want to share with us in the creation of some track?
No, there was nothing.
- Any news for 2021 in your music project or future collaborations?
Yes, me and +d33b+ (artist from Argentina) are working together on a next EP at the moment. I think we will finished it in 2021. Otherwise I will for sure realease an album. My collaborations in 2021 will be with great artists like: ElektroTerapi, +d33b+, Antares Grim and Space one.
- Any other thing that you want to say to your listeners?
