14 FAKTS INTERVIEW WITHYEAH BUT NO

Q: How would you describe yourself in one word?

versatile

Q: What was the driving force that got you into Music Production and when?

Fabian: For me music production has long been another form of musical expression that I couldn’t achieve with an instrument. The more I learned about music the more I acknowledged the power of arrangement and sound design.

Alex: For me it was the next step, after learning classical piano and writing Hip Hop Lyrics in the mid 90ies. I just wanted to be able to produce my own tracks. 

Q: Analog or Digital? And why?

Fabian: I think I can speak for the both of us, when answering. In our world all the good stuff comes from a hybrid of both worlds. Analog has always been the role model for everything digital wanted to be. Now digital has become so much better than for example 30 years ago that even working completely digital is something totally worth it. I like to record work in an analog world with all the amenities that digital conversion are speed offers. Both worlds offer a lot of tempting sounds and possibilities. 

Q: What's your favorite venue and why does it stand out from the rest?

It’s hard to say. I have played a lot of different venues in different countries, inside and outside. I think, the venue isn’t the most important thing. You can have a very trashy venue, with a great crowd and super sound, but also vice versa. Any venue that has a good sound and an educated crowd makes a great venue. 

Q: If you were to have a superpower, what would it be and why?

Fabian: Breath under waterAlex: Make people only saying the truth. There would be less misunderstandings and therefore less hate & wars.
  Q: 1 person you'd dream to have a coffee with?

Fabian: Hans Zimmer

Alex: I’d say, let’s do a double date with Hans Zimmer & Dr Dre.

Q: If you would have been given the chance to do a film score from the past, what movie would you choose and why?

Fabian: Edward Scissorhands - it’s such a tragic tale that incorporates most of the stories in life.

Alex: Tough question. Probably I’d chose a movie with great pictures, but a score I didn’t feel fitting. There would be no sense in re-writing movies scores like Interstellar.

Q: Recommend a hidden gem in your home country that would fit a perfect rave?

I normally escape to the seaside a couple of hours away from Milan, in thebeautiful region of Liguria. There is a place where we usually go for specialdinners with family and friends, in a very cute “borgo” (town) called Verezzi, called La Rosa dei Venti. This place offers a large garden in front of one church and one old building, overlooking an amazing view of thegulf and the sea. I think this could be a majestic place to hold a nice littlerave, obviously respecting the beauty of nature and of the buildings of-course.

 

Q: What are 3 tracks that got you into electronic music?

Laurent Garnier - Man with the red Face

Jeff Mills -  the bells

Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy

Q: Tell us about your upcoming releases and plans for this year.

We just released „ Keep Running“ (incl. Ivory remix). End of next month, with the kick off of our live concerts another single called „Hurricane“ will come out Inch reworks by Musumeci & Deetron. We are also finishing the new EP’s which should be released Mid summer and Autumn.


Q: Tell us a fun fact about yourself that most of your listeners don't know.

Fabian: Before becoming part of the music scene I studied agricultural science - I am half a farmer :D

Alex: I’m half a robot ;-O)
