Interview:

Some ancient cultures believed that music was the voice of gods telling them what was the right thing to do, and for others it was just a way to communicate their desires and fears. Actually, we don’t know if that is all true, but we feel there is a spiritual function of music even today when listening to a song on a CD player or an MP3. The first sounds the world ever heard were the blowing winds, the waves on the shore, the rain on the leaves. The human race tried to create music from these sounds, art from nature, emotions to experience with their senses. In your songs, you can tell about love, death, sadness, or anger. It means that you let your spirit narrate about itself. With the music you can sing your faith to your gods, demons, spirits, and even if you are an atheist or agnostic, it doesn’t really matter because in that moment the music is your god and your spirit belongs to it. So we play the guitars, the keyboards, the drums, but with the same spirit of the wind, the waves, and the rain.

“In your songs, you can tell about love, death, sadness, or anger. It means that you let your spirit narrate about itself.”
