Name: ASSFALT Genre: EBM Residence: Düsseldorf, D Whydid you choose this name for this musical project? Our music is like dancing on hot bitumen. The name is also a play on words: in German, it resembles 'Arschfalte', meaning 'ass crease'. Members & their role: Protivogas (Vocals), Knolle-Stahlarm (Drums), Messyass (Electronics/Production) What’s the most important instrument you use in your music and why? The sound of old school Synthesizers like Pro 1, MS 20 and SH-101 is crucial for ASSFALT. They can sound very dirty and organic. Why did you start making music? Music is the only working way to laugh grimly at the madness of this world. Who are your inspirators / musical heroes? We come from diverse musical backgrounds such as Punk, EBM and Electro. Common Heroes are DAF and Trio. Wherefrom do you take get your inspiration to write music? Anger. Anxiety. The horror of everyday life. Which (musical) achievement are you most proud of? Having the chance to play Belgium for us as a newcomer band. The motherland of EBM and so many legendary bands! - 29 - Name: DER MUSSIKANT Genre: Minimal Electronic Residence: Stuttgart, D Why did you choose this name for this musical project? The original name was “Der künftige Musikant“ I´ve changed that later into “Der Mussikant” It´s a mixture of “musician” and “to be forced” and “to have to”. Members & their role: This is a one-man show. All in one hand. What’s the most important instrument you use in your music and why? It is discipline and a sequencer. This is the only combination that works. Why did you start making music? www.peek-a-boo-magazine.be How did you experience the Dark Demo(n)s event?
