EIC'S10Q'S w/Jonas Reinhardt

"..music pulsates from electronics that have more life in them than the man who programmed them. It was machine itself coming to existence and asking man for a reason. Man responds and says .."to create.".."


Jonas Reinhardt
Welcoming Specious Megacosm

Jonas Reinhardt Bio:
Jonas Reinhardt hails from San Francisco, CA. He has been writing, recording and performing music with analog synthesizers for more than a decade both as a solo artist and in groups. He was initially inspired to use synthesizers during a summer sabbatical in Houston's museum district and, in the late '90s, studied music synthesis at the Harvard Electronic Music Center.



Hello, how are you?
I'm good, never been better.

What are you currently listening to?
Lowill - Prune Slicker

Can you explain the band’s sound in 5 words or less?
Sure, the easiest way to describe....

Jonas Reinhardt started out as a one many operation and has since then grown, what was the deciding factor into this decision to become a full on band?
The hunger for fame and good company.

Your latest release is titled “Powers Of Audition”, what do you mean by that title?
Each of the songs is meant to engage the listener’s innate power of audition to fill in intentionally left blanks. These occur throughout the recording where there is either diminished narrative resolution or explicit sectional movement meant to provoke an auditory response. It comes from John Cage.

What is your favorite track off of “Powers..”?
They are all my children. Would you tell me which one of your children you like the best?

When it comes to “distortion” what is your favorite tool to use?
Hash

I would love to hear you guys do a movie score, which one would you choose (existing or non) if you had a choice?
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels or maybe Manufactured Landscapes

You can only keep/listen to ONE album for the rest of your life ..which album would it be?
J.D. Emmanuel - Solid Dawn

Are you living your dream?

Not sure, it's entirely possible...I suspect that depends on whether string theory, 10 flat space dimensions etc. is true or not.

Thanx Jesse & Brian!

Jonas Reinhardt is currently on tour make sure to buy lots of hash when go to see them...;p
