Hi Alexander! thanks for your interest in our music!
we are planing to make a new album and i guess it will be released via gravitator again. so if you can affort it, you wont need to download it at synthema ;)
so now for your questions:
--- 1. For what you are doing music?
like with every artistic practice it is hard to say what for it is really done. i would say its basically an interest or inner drive to participate in a certain form of expression and thereby being meaningfull but also playful.
this sounds stereotype now, but it can really be some kind of therapy - a way to process your feelings about life - even if youself are not really aware of them until they appear musically.
--- 2. What do you want to achieve in the works?
we want to give an impression of our point of view to life and hopefully offer the listeners some moments of empathy with that. music has the power to stimulate and support emotions, not only the ones from the artist, but also those, which the listener defines for him/herself. so if someone gets inspired or even sensitized for his/her own feelings - that would be our greatest gratification.
--- 3. Your music is a reflection of life experience?
for a big part - yes. and its about different experiences, everyone of us three made and of course those, we made together.
---4. What kind of senses, emotions will be your new album?
its hard to say now, as it is a process which we cant controll for 100%.
but so far, i can say it will become pushing and atmospheric.
its about indignation, anger, despair and sorrow but also about love, joy and excitement.
--- 5. You'll follow closely the style synthpop?
not really. there will be some portions for sure, but not as much as in deafinition. the new album will contain more elements of harsh elektro/hardstyle, rhythm-noise and also electro/techno styles.
--- 6. What do you think about music? What is it for? For love, struggle, pray?
all of that! music is a carrier, as it is a langauge. and it has the power to connect people and constitute or change social groups, expecially in subcultural scenes. i dont want to get too abstract here, but i think music
can do a lot, it can be a weapon or a flower.
--- 7. Do you watched the movie The Dark Knight)))?
yes - great movie!
it has really dark athmosphere, but to be honsest - even if Christian Bale did a good job in his role - its the joker who made the movie so impressive imho.
--- 8. I am bad in English. You understand my message)))?
your english is precise, except you need to say "do you", when you ask a question.
the auxiliary verb has to be in front.
like: how do you do?, did you watch the movie?, will you folllow?, etc..
other than that - your english is very good!
--- P.S. I would be glad to your answer.
i'm glad you asked :)
so long - stay tuned!
