The 2nd interview in their magnatune-focussed series, the Mouvement Nouveau folks have just put up their fabulous interview with Magnatune artist Asteria.
Read the Asteria interview here.
My favorite quote from the interview:
The kind
of music Asteria plays is very far from the common notion of
classical music, however, and includes many modern elements:
choruses, repeated sections, actual sung lyrics, and tonalities that
share an idiom with certain contemporary pop forms (dark wave, goth,
ambient, new age, etc). I think we have more of a chance to continue
to inspire the current and next generations than a Mozart quartet,
which is ironic considering that our music is much older.
Mouvement Nouveau is a fabulous music site focussed on classical and experimental music. I love the fact that the name of the site is French, they write in English, and are themselves German. Welcome to the 21st century global Internet music village! They've previously done an interview with Magnatune artist DAC Crowell. Their interviews are among the most informed and intelligent ones I've seen on our music.
Asteria also have a number of acapella tracks available for remixing on CC Mixter.
