Topic: Electric Moon Posted: December 11 2011 at 11:59
ELECTRIC MOON came into existence in 2009 - a new project with cosmic traveller Sula Bassana as the driving force. Bassist Komet Lulu, illustrator on top of that and responsible for corporate design and artwork is aboard as well as Pablo Carneval (drums).
Your biography
has been covered in your ProgArchives profile so let's bypass the
biography details. But which bands were you influenced by and why did
you choose that name?
Lulu:
it was my old e-mail adress and Sula asked me „why not use that?“
so we did without thinking much about it... But this name totally
fits to our music... and we feel really connected to the moon...
You are the mainman
of Sula Bassana. Why did you set up Electric Moon in addition to your
label and Sula Bassana & what is the differences in music between
Sula Bassana and Electric Moon?
Sula:
Sula Bassana is my solo-project, where I compose all songs, play all
the instruments and record, produce, mix everything. Electric Moon is
the band where I play guitar (and in recordings sometimes organ
and/or drums). My girlfriend Komet Lulu plays bass and vocals and
makes all the artworks, plus Alex on drums. By the way: Electric Moon
is Lulu’s brainchild, not mine!
Lulu:
Brainchild
It is OUR BABY!!!!
How would you
describe your (Electric Moon's) music?
Lulu:
„The real psychedelic experience“.
Sula:
It’s more about feelings than about virtuosity!
Over to the two
albums so far. Your debut album Lunatics was released last year.
Please tell us more about this album.
Lulu:
There is nothing to tell. We jammed the first time, thought it would
be great and recorded the stuff, mixed it and made an album.
Sula:
And that’s the way we still work. Improvised freak outs in our
little homestudio, later produced and mixed by ourselves. And finally
mastered by krautrocklegend Eroc.
Your new album is
Lunatics Revenge. Please tell us more about this album.
Lulu:
Well, it isn’t that new anymore... The newest album is called „The
Doomsday Machine“ and is a double vinyl/CD with great paintings by
my cool dad.
Lunatics
Revenge was the follow-up to Lunatics, because there were two songs
not put on the LP because of less space, so we made a „part 2“
with a B-Side that is only released on this edition (D-Tune and The
Landing)...
Well,
almost sold out.
Is it just me who
read this wrong or is Lunatic and Lunatics Revenge a part of a multi
albums concept?
Lulu:
It was like that: Nasoni did not want to release a double LP debut.
That is the only reason why Lunatics Revenge exists!
What is your
current status and what is your plans for next year?
New
stuff:
„Sun
and Moon“ Split LP (with Glowsun) – foldout and 180gr vinyl,
almost sold out
