Interview in GONZAI magazine with Symboter

GONZAI online magazine did an interview with me about my music and work with machines and robots. Now it has been published online in their magazine with many photos and links (french language, some links don’t work anymore). The interview spins around my thoughts and works with machinery in sound and physical art. I like the somehow funny and dystopic style of the interview text.

Here is the link to the online interview.

Here is an excerpt of the introduction: Après une pause de presque trois décennies, Olaf Schirm – son vrai nom – continue avec le même état d’esprit : d’une part jouer et expérimenter avec ses synthés, et de l’autre combattre les dérives de la machine, la paresse de la pop et le futur surinformatisé qui nous attend. Voici donc son cyber-plan de bataille.

New song "Cluster"

Months of sound tinkering and subtleties. Now he’s out: Cluster. A song that brushes sound and counter-sound with and against the line.

I was inspired by a sound of the Omnisphere2, so I decided to use this software synthesizer in particular.
Melody voice is a Waldorf Blofeld, that’s almost clear, the Blofeld hoarded next to my Prophet 12 to the instruments with which I can best express what I want to represent.

New song "Heart-Drive"

A song of impressions that come from the heart (heart) connects with the driving beat (drive) of the machine sounds.
In addition, a pun (harddrive), because everything comes from hard drive and was generated electronically with synthesizers.
More details can be read in the sound section
