What is the importance of sound in your artworks? Are you composing all the sound yourself?
Yes, we write our own music for all our installations and works. Not so long ago we released two albums. One was released by us because we had a hard time waiting for a drop on a label and the other was released on the Bedroom community label. Probably, it’s the best label. We were honored to be on the same list as Ben Frost, Nick Murphy, Valgir Sigurdson and many others. Both albums were recorded in a professional studio in Iceland – GreenHouse studio. They were mastered by Francesco Fabris. Moreover, we were also very lucky with the engineer – he appreciates keenly that we have to keep the material raw and do not add any effects. It was important for us that the entire material was recorded, mixed and mastered using analog equipment. We play on modular synthesizers buchla and eurorack format. The whole album is recorded live. The album is marked by the mood that accompanied the recording process. Or the absence of the mood labels the album – depends how you approach it. We just sat down and played, then pressed the record button occasionally. It was cool!
What would be the ideal location for your most desirable installation? Please explain why as well.
We would like to build a museum somewhere in the mountains or in the desert. Only those who really need to see this place will be the visitors. There will be enormously big installations. People could spend as much time there as they would like. There will be no curators, no producers, no sponsorship money – not even a schedule.
How does the NFT world works for you so far?
It’s kind of cool. When the hype started, we wrote Beeple, like, as he says, well, this is fucking great. Because we were busy with doing some stuff and dealing with our depression, we texted him again a couple of months later, like is it worth it? And he was like- yes, guys, this is fucking amazing. So when we woke up, it was already too hot and hard to leave. But in general, it worked. Recently we sold a small series of 4 works for 29k USD and also participated in a charity action where we sold the work for 86k USD. All the money went to a children’s fund. It is a strange world we live in. Now the priorities have changed utterly. It is probably time to say that the world will never be the same again.
What are you working on at the moment?
We have several upcoming projects. We are working on a huge installation in Australia in June at Dark Mofo festival. Moreover, there are several future projects in Germany, but these are still in progress. There is an upcoming solo exhibition at 180 The Strand in 2021, London.
