DARK DEMO(N)S 2025 It was 1980 and everybody wanted to start making this new kind of music! Who are your inspirators / musical heroes? That has changed over the years. In the eighties it was DAF, WIRE and - very important - Throbbing Gristle. Nowadays I also listen to J.S.Bach and Steve Reich. Wherefrom do you take get your inspiration to write music? Sometimes it just comes to my mind–sometimes during a session – sometimes it`s a concrete idea. Which (musical) achievement are you most proud of? EP“VEITZTANZ”and the possibility, to be on stage for 45 years. What is your most recent release and/or what are you working on right now? I am constantly working on new songs –also for my two other projects. Who would you like to collaborate with? Currently no idea! … but that could change quickly… How did you experience the Dark Demo(n)s event? That was a very exciting evening with very different musicians. I enjoyed the event and I'm looking forward to playing in Belgium again someday. The name is a reference to the unheard in the world. It is the base of the project. All lyrics are about those in the world who are lost, killed, chased from their homes, abused and neglected... Members & their role: Kevin Van Voclem (also member of We Are Ooh People) doing : voice, lyrics, analogue synths, computer… What’s the most important instrument you use in your music and why? I use 3 analogue synths. I’ve been using analogue synths since forever. Long time ago I made extreme noise/industrial by the name of ‘Kevueq’. I used to have the label Cling Film-records (with Laura Maes). The analogue synth is pure, raw and retro. I just love it. Can be used to do soundscapes, harsh noise, eighties bass lines. In my tracks I try to do all sounds with the analogue synths and no soft synths. Why did you start making music? I’ve been making music forever. Starting with Fasttracker on computer centuries ago. I don’t think it’s something I will stop doing. Especially the used of analogue synth never bores. Who are your inspirators / musical heroes? As a 16 year old I was a huge fan of the Cure (who wasn’t) but liked the more dark albums like Pornography and Faith.Now I only listen to obscure 80’s vibe wave bands on Soundcloud. More know artists are : Linea Aspera, Minuit Machine, Kontravoid, Carriegoss, Led er est, Boy Harsher…. Wherefrom do you take get your inspiration to write music? Of course I’m influenced by the bands I listen to. But mainly I just turn on my synths and start making a bass line and start from there. Name: They Feel Nothing Genre: Dark-Wave / EBM Residence: Bruges, Belgium Whydid you choose this name for this musical project? www.peek-a-boo-magazine.be - 30 - Which (musical) achievement are you most proud of? With Bruges being cultural city of Europe in 2002 we (Cling Film records) put 4 huge train wagons in a square formation and filled all 4 of them with a huge PA system. People were meant to sit in the middle. We asked tons of experimental bands to make a quadrophonic piece to be played for a month and making the train wagons rumble with sounds, bass & noise. With my other band We Are Ooh People we played the support act of Hante!
