INTERVIEW TO CONFIELD
This time in our section of interviews we know more about the prolific post-industrial, noise, glitch artist: "Confield"
from Poland.
How you define the concept and the name of your music Project?
Confield is a one-man project. There is currently someone missing to verify the sounds. However, this is not a problem. Two people perform better during live performances. One generates the foundation while the other creates the topic. When playing live one artist is hard. The entire frequency spectrum should be run. In addition, the reaction of the audience is important. It is not known how to behave when there are quite a lot of philosophers at the concert. They try to interpret these actions differently.
The name of the project was associated with the designation on the machine in a certain airplane program.
In you official website you talk about a past member, and now is a solo Project, tell us more about that.
Sometimes it is worth getting someone who is okay to the project. It can serve as a source of inspiration. We can then acquire new energies. At the beginning, when there were two people in Confield, there were more ideas. Then the project decreased due to economic reasons. This also happened in the case of various other formations.

Do you play live performances? Or you have a future interest in do it?
So far I've only played a few concerts. The reaction was very good. As I have already mentioned, it is difficult for one person to play. Avoid sequences because they will spoil the reception. For one person, the ideal solution is just playing noise and checking what results. Noise can be played simply live. This noise should not be released on albums.
How do we compose then? It's hard to accept the fact of the power of noise. That is why the age-old question about the most powerful genre of music remains unsolved. Otherwise, is noise the most powerful music? In my opinion, the creator's character must be extreme. The sound is only a means of expression. Something is happening to people between successive recordings of noise. When I listen to the album, i.e. copy it, I have direct contact with the composer. That is why it is worth not listening to other kinds of music. Only industrial - this motto would be valid in 2019. I like the definition taken from the pioneers of this type of playing. Why names? Everyone knows who it is about.
How you define your own music in genres? Which are you favorite genres or which genres you mix in your music?
I am an industrial fan. The lifestyle I lead is reflected in the composed songs. I think we have a lot of different characters right now. That would solve problems. The internet connects people but only when it comes to portals. The group is defined here by mapping to the portal. Contact is mental here. Sometimes there are entries, karaoke or meetings.
The philosopher would add a few more currents here. They come out for the level of expression. They are already old. The side of the work is reflected in the side of organizing music views.

Why most of your tracks don’t have titles and only numbers? Those titles are a kind of codes?
These titles are sometimes file names. Sometimes they are letters that sound good. There is an interesting relationship here about the arrangements. Giving a strange name, I contact something ... Similarly in the case of a song. It describes some unusual surface. That's why it's worth playing. If anyone believes in Platonism, he finds his home in electronic music.
We see some minimalistic, glitch visual inspiration in your cover artworks, tell us how you mix that visuals with your own sound.
The cover is created separately. It contains so many layers that a surface generally exists. It makes no sense to mix it with music. You can immediately see other worlds. The cover is part of the album. The album is an extension of character. Cover too. The music itself reflects recent world events. That's why you need to listen to it immediately. Then it's philately or coins. It is good to use the most powerful processor at the moment.
Favorite composers, or inspirations?
Industrial in general. I like the activities of contemporary adult movie actresses. In my opinion, it fits into this canon. As a lifestyle, it's actually strong.
On the other hand, some people watch poor movies as well. If this is unpaid, it is easy to show that the storm is levels of expression. It's such a small crime. Another thing is that these films are simply a director, not actors. They are the function of the movie.

Do you feel that your music is dark? Or you feel it in other direction?
I know that a lot has been said lately about the dark variety of industrial. It is worth noting that the people who contact here have closed their contacts. Some have known each other for too long. This resulted in patching the view with filling forms. Just to glue the overall impression of these contacts into the surface.
I don't know what the industrial trend is right now. I only know from my own experience that vivid compositions are important. It is worth being yourself and disagreeing with other composers here.
I would put 50% tolerance on the equipment. So that it came out hardware and there was a message. I would lead an active life as a macho! A woman as a whore. This will immediately improve the music.
How is the place where you live? Do you have some inspiration on your music from your city of residence?
The place where I live is a strange surface. It affects music. I agree on my views with others. Others influence the composition. I have the impression that people finish their compositions very quickly. There is mechanization here.
This place changed my character a bit. I don't know which direction these people are going. I don't know many of these people well. They are sick because they think that street contacts are good. There are also a lot of auras then contacts are too close. It's almost a perverted relationship.
Which are your favorite Confield tracks and why?
I don't have many interesting ideas for an answer. The track called: "Yasa". Good sampling. I installed the best processor at the time.
What music genre you think that is the worst, and why?
One where another spirit is present. You also have something like that.
What kind of people do you hate the most? The opposite of Confield. Here I am.
It is puzzling why people get sick without any predetermined formula.

Why you choose mainly release your music in for free download/name your Price in bandcamp?
That's who I am. I like digitization. I like processors: sometimes retro. Something like meeting an ehippy. I like phones and smartphones. Generally. Did you count how many processors you have in your apartment?
You agree or don’t with have some of your music in the popular streaming platforms (spotify, i tunes, Apple music, etc) why?
Well, this copying significantly weakened contacts. There is now reconciliation. Problems are probably breaking contact between these people. They've been listening to it maybe too long. I don't know what the solution is here. Maybe it would be good to buy Spotify shares? Isn't it worth becoming a tech investor?
What you think about the current post-industrial music movement?
People are philosophizing here. I speak first hand. These contacts are terribly superficial. I wonder why various people come from friends. They cheat on them. Maybe they are trying to kill. Work gives a sense of strength. Combined with humanism, the surfaces that need to be agreed must go beyond industrial contacts. Work in industrial exists.
This is also slightly disturbed by internet portals. Together, this gives strange connections. I would stick to the mainstream after all. When I go from people to people, I can cross borders. Why talk to everyone. Now the problem of intelligence. Some do not like others and destroy them. This gives different results. You are someone with your people. Cheating on them, you're just a dick.
Any other not massive artists who release music in small netlabels/labels like you that you like listen it?
Yes, but I don't remember the names. Humanphobia is interesting. I like this.
You make collaborations with other artists? Any good experience or recommendation to some artists that you want to tell us?
Collaborations are a combination of similar collections. People here must agree on what direction the music is going.
Any anecdote in the creation of some track or an album that you want to share with us?
I lost my data once. It's quite sick. Once the synthesizer died in front of my eyes. He made a sick sound. He is in the song Confield.
Tell us more about the concept and the main inspirations about your latest work in Cian Orbe: “Archive B”
It happened so fast. Mastering was performed using a new method of successive approximations.
You was the curator of a very important webzine of experimental and industrial music reviews called: “Industria Webzine” What happened with that? where you did it a lot of reviews.- Problems with the domain of host? Or other reasons for close it? You have a backup of all that reviewed material for re-upload it maybe to a wordpress, blogspot in the future?
I'm afraid I don't know what's going on. //
observation: the website is working occasionally: http://industria.org.pl
Any additional Words to your listeners?
Take care of the microbiome. Don't leave your friends. So don't behave in such a way that you choose people for your surface. Fuck it.
In 2027 you will burn your calendar. ... and don't wear sandals. Evil!!!
