NINOSABLE This ‘new’ project’s name is Nino Sable, which is also the name of Dark-Goth-Metal band Aeon Sable’s singer. With Aeon Sable Nino released seven albums but nowhe found the time ripe to produce his first Nino Sable solo album! Some ofusmight knowyou from the bandAeon Sablewith whom you released about seven albums so far. Why starti this solo project? Before the pandemic I was mainly the singer of the gothic rock band Aeon Sable. I sometimes wrote music, but my last record (Melanculia -SeventhCircle) hadbeen released4years ago and the project was discontinued. With the pandemic, the studio closed its doors and I had to manage my own affairs. Inspiration was everywhere, while the pressure of state and society spat intomy face.I had a job to do. I had to conserve this atmosphere - this Zeitgeist. I bought a computer and some software and started composing and recording. During the inferno of 2020 and 2021 I finally got access to the Artsphere and wrote around 30 tracks.Everything that had to be said,had to be felt… If I’m not mistaken you did compose everything byyourself on this debut album, music, lyrics … Is this by choice or rather bycircumstance? On the first pass, I wrote all the tracks on my own and as a second step I gave these raw demos to my friend Lars Kappeler (Sweet Ermengarde / OBB) in order to have them arranged in a professional way.Lars did a huge update on the tracks concerning production and also added some characteristic goth vibes by including and changing some instruments. On the Nino Sable Bandcamp one can read it took you 15 years to release this debut album.Whydid it take that long? Well,it isn’t like I have never released an albumbefore -but it never happened under my own name. I just had (and participated in) several projects. In 2021,as a matter of fact, I decided to sail undermyown flag.Iwanted absolute freedom in terms of creation. But then, in2021,youmanaged to releaseanewsongeach and everymonth? Was this planned like this? And didn’t it put you in a stressful position to continue to deliver month after month? Delivering new creations wasn’t the stressful part,promoting them was. On the one hand, continuous hard work was necessary to be able to produce and promote at the same time, but on the other hand, I gave my all to keep my friends and fans entertainedduring those tough times.I didwhat had to be done. www.peek-a-boo-magazine.be - 8 - Can you elaborate the title ‘Sedate ⊚ Seduce’ to our readers? ‘Sedate ⊚ Seduce’ is a hint to the duality that led me into Artsphere.Sedation is the initial ritual,seduction the second, while between both -art is born (symbolized by the⊚CD).If you take a close lookat the CDdesign,you’ll see that‘sedate’ and‘seduce’turn around the‘⊚’. Symbolism seems to have an important place in Aeon Sable as well as in this project. Can you tell us why and what some of the used symbols stand for? What some people don’t knowis that I amamedia designer and in that function, I designed sigils for each member of Aeon Sable back in 2012. In Nino Sable I am using my old sigil originally designed for my persona in Aeon Sable. It stands for the“voiceofthe seventh sonofmoonand sun”and inmy opinion,it perfectly fits my nowadays role. Do you have plans ofperforming livewith this project and howwill you approach this seeing you are, so far, the only member? We have a very motivated live crew and together we have already performed live last year. The feedback from the crowd was wonderful. So, yes. We will be performing Nino Sable live out there in the future - as soon as stages were available again for “small artists”. Classifying your music as simply Goth-rock would maybe be tooeasyand straight forwardbecause I thinkthealbum has somuchmore tooffer sohowwouldyoudescribeyour music? I can’t. I am not a friend of boxed content.Of course there is the spirit of goth in each track but you can find so much more. This album also includes pop and psychedelic rock, synth-wave,dark-wave,electronic,coldwave,post-punk. And finally the inevitable sort of question a band / musician creating“Goth-Rock”music can not escape from … Please rank The Sister Of Mercy, The Mission and The Fields ofTheNephilimtoyour personal taste and tell us IF they had an impact on your music and why… If you ever heard of themof course! :-) I havebeenmostlyinspiredbyblackmetal inmyyouth.Later, with Aeon Sable,Gothic-Rock came into my life and so I got to know all the goth classics. Yes, of course the artists mentioned above inspired me but – I have never idealized any of them because there are also a lot of industrial,metal, drone,ambient,synth (…) artists ★ inmy playlist. www.ninosable.de Fred GADGET Fred
