Nice read. The Monad release is awesome; "Oise" being my favorite.


all the interviews with the raster-noton guys (him and Carsten) are always very interesting.
i have loved all of his releases but Or has something different in it, this new direction he has taken in his music is quite awesome. and yeah, Monad takes it even further.

He was fantastic at Corsica Studios - as beautiful as it was brutal.

Yeah, his Raster-Noton output has been great sp far... but with the Monad for Stroboscopic Artefacts he really landed on the next level.

:D Nice interview. I like how you dug some non-typical material out of him. Necessary music, KDR. Love the physical product as well, esp the first two albums. Cheers

Seconded, for sure. I always enjoy reading interviews with the RN crew. I was hoping he'd say a little more about the connection between architecture and music, as it factors prominently into his fantastic Pruitt Igoe EP. I'm really glad some of the RN artists are starting to do club-type events, as those sorts of sound systems help drive home the physical impact of their tracks in a way that doesn't always work on home speakers or headphones.

If there's any chance of more RN interviews, I'd really like to see one with Senking. I've really enjoyed his last few releases and he seems to be moving RN in yet another new direction.

i agree for the club-type events, it brings out their music so well. and their visuals always have a big impact i think, it's such a great experience to see them in a dark sweaty room with a rad sound system and those huge visuals behind.

as for the connection between architecture and music - it is such an interesting topic, but i noticed that he doesn't talk much about it in his interviews, surprisingly so since it is quite clear (as you said) that architecture shapes his music (and consequently the visuals on his live shows - i'm guessing that he is the one that does them. i'm not sure though. hmmm).
