Nagamag:
What are the genres that describe better your music style?

Ryan Flynn:
The genres that better describe the music style would be Synth Pop, Indie Pop, and Indie Electronic.


Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?

Ryan Flynn:
Originally begun as an experimental side project while in film school, ryan flynn has since evolved into a perpetual orb-praising space pop venture. It was in Rochester, NY that ryan flynn established his signature funky synth pop sound, solidified by the release of an eponymous EP in 2019 with widespread praise from the local community.
In 2020, ryan flynn took to the road with his Moog synthesizer, writing and performing improvisational pieces inspired by the scenery across the country.

Currently, ryan flynn is focusing on writing and releasing new tunes such as "Seems Like Yesterday," "Pressure," and "Outside" alongside creating tasteful visuals to accompany the releases.


Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?

Ryan Flynn:
My first connection to music was certainly through my parents love for music. I was consistently surrounded by great music and was fortunate to have a piano in our home. No one else could play, but I'm pretty sure it was just there when we bought our house on Long Island. I would fool around and eventually grew to love the instrument! Once high school hit, I found myself writing and performing in a metal band with some great friends. I'd say with all of those things coming together, this was my pathway into music.


Nagamag:
Do you have any plans to follow the release of the latest single, "Outside?"

Ryan Flynn:
Yes! We have a music video for "Outside" coming out December 16th. For the music video, I've combined and edited the works of two amazing artists together; Micah Buzan, who does the beautiful animation, and Taryn Elliot, who does the amazing landscape filmography. The combination of the two really vibes with the the track and I can't wait for people to connect the visuals with the track!


Nagamag:
Most artists have a favorite song from a different music genre than the one they are producing music for... Which is yours?

Ryan Flynn:
Steely Dan "Hey Nineteen"


Nagamag:
Of Course Nagamag would love to listen also which track from a similar artist you admire?

I remember as a kid listening to CD's from artists like Astral Projection, Jean-Michel Jarre, Shakta and Miranda.

That eventually led me on the path of music creation and I worked my way through a few genres before landing in the ambient genre.

Ambient Neo Classical with Post Rock and Film Score influences


Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?

I've been a music producer for over a decade mostly producing for singer songwriters and hip hop artists. Then I began dabbling in film music. I spent a year composing my own music just for a fun side project. That project became We Dream of Eden. My goal with WDEO has always been to create "sonic landscapes" with uplifting instrumentals.

I remember my grandfather used to play a game with me where he asked me to pick 5 notes from anywhere on the piano and he would turn it into a song. It was so amazing to me. I think I've been trying to get there ever since... to be unafraid to just create with the things that are in front of me and not over think things.

Nagamag:
What are the genres that describe better your music style?

Kick Bong:
It's not easy, if we stay within the codes of electronic music, I would say electronica, chillout, down tempo but also electro and techno sometimes or house and even pop, I have a lot of influences! I listened to a lot of funk, acid jazz, new wave, punk, rock.


Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?

Kick Bong:
In 1985 I met friends with whom we started a band and at 20 we signed an album at Barclay it was crazy! afterwards I played with a lot of groups on drums and percussion in different styles, recordings and concerts.
Well much later at the end of the 90s I discovered electronic music and I had another revelation so I started to buy equipment and at the beginning of 2000 I created Kick Bong it will be 20 years in 2021. I also have another Triptone project which is more pop, trip hop, electro with a lot of vocal features.


Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?

Kick Bong:
my dad listened to a lot of music and he introduced me to a lot of different artists and styles, so I started buying records very young when my mom was willing to give me some money, I started with 45rpm and albums later.
every time I listened to music I felt like I was on stage and like that every night I listened loudly and mimed the guitarist, the drummer etc ...
When I was 12, I started playing drums, it's an instrument that I already liked, I can't really explain why even though I loved playing the air guitar; )

Robert Connely Farr Interview on Nagamag

Categories: Features, Interviews, The Latest|Tags: , , , , , , , , |


Nagamag:
What are the genres that describe better your music style?

Robert Connely Farr:
americana, southern rock, indie rock, contemporary blues, country blues, juke joint blues


Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?

Robert Connely Farr:
I studied architecture at Auburn University, spending a few years at the nonprofit student run design build Rural Studio working on the Musicman House and the Hale Country Animal Shelter. Since 2017, I've been mentored in the Bentonia Style of the Delta Blues by Jimmy “Duck” Holmes. I grew up in Bolton, Mississippi, a small town just south of the Delta where Charley Patton and Sam Chatmon are from. I released "Dirty South Blues" in 2019 - then I got cancer and had to have an emergency surgery, during which time me and the boys had a few sessions in Vancouver at Hipposonic Studios (Little Mountain Studio's for you music novices - some of my favorite rock and roll albums were recorded there!) to lay down "Country Supper". This year we also release "Gasoline" (B-Sides & Rarities) & "Live In EastVan"


Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?

Robert Connely Farr:
yeah - I grew up listening to rock n roll - I had every Kiss album, GNR, Ratt, Crue, ACDC - I loved it all. Music just hit a spot in me that I can't really explain. It was personal, mine - no-one could tell me what to like - in fact I couldn't help what I liked - that was part of the excitement & it still is! Anyway, I remember being around 12, out in the country in the house where my Papaw grew up north of Bolton - making a blood pact in writing (that we still have) with my little brother & cousin that as soon as we all got old enough, we were heading to Los Angeles to being in a band. I guess I can't help but wonder of on a fundamental level this started it all - you know, that idea of putting the energy out there to make something happen...

In Void Interview on Nagamag

Categories: Features, Interviews, Neoclassical Features, Neoclassical Interviews, The Latest|Tags: , , , , , , , |

Renault to the left & Peugeot to the right


Nagamag:
What are the genres that describe better your music style?

In Void:
Neo-classical mainly. Also punk rock, opera and anything with accordians.


Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?

In Void:
Renault: I was a modern artist in the truest sense of the word. Some paint with a brush, others with a pallet knife or sponge, I, well...I paint with myself, if you get my drift. I dip my manly member in paint and let my passion be my guide. I dazzled the tourists for years on the streets of Mont Martre, singing opera arias all the while and even playing accordian while painting with my "all natural brush". It would seem that some of my female admirers were a bit too dazzled however, and a jealous husband threw me into the Seine, and when I crawled out, I saw the wretched face of Peugeot. From that moment on, we were inseparable.
Peugeot: I was the lead singer of a French punk band called "The Flaming Maggots" or "Les Asticots Enflammes" for a few years. We had a couple hit songs-maybe you've heard "Merde, merde merde!" or "Ton cul est tros grand! Va t'en, va t'en!". Then, I woke up one morning, hungover in a back alley of Paris and vomited on the person next to me, who turned out to be Renault, et voila, the rest is history.


Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?

In Void:
Renault: I saw Mozart's "Don Giovanni" as a small garcon, and thought, "mon dieu, I want to grow up to be such a man! So many conquests, and set to such lovely music."
Peugeot: My dearly departed mother was a Sex Pistols groupie and so I heard their fine, skillful and passionate music every day in utero. I have sought to emulate them in thought, word and deed ever since. To this day, I wake up at 1pm every day to their masterpiece, "Frigging in the Rigging".


Nagamag:
Favorite book?

In Void:
Renault: Les Miserables, L'Etranger, Lolita, O Calcutta
Peugeot: One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish


Nagamag:
Best shag ever?

In Void:
Peugeot: Brigitte Bardot or Queen Elizabeth. Too close to call.
Renault: Lady Gaga, hands down.


Nagamag:
Most artists have a favorite song from a different music genre than the one they are producing music for... Which is yours?

In Void:
Mozart (This is Renault's pick of the week, from his favorite opera, Don Giovanni. In this aria, the servant, Leporello lists his master Don Giovanni's thousands of other conquests in an effort to "console" a woman whose heart he has just broken. The piece is very near and dear to Renault's heart, for obvious reasons.) Madamina, il Catalogo


Nagamag:
