Black Onassis The full interview

3:25 Dude now I mean drove a lot of bands of is they have a frontman and there came out there that being a bit wild doing. A few stunts you guys don't really have a so how did you guys kind of get around that just just like you gotta do it like any sort of a dance for me I guess you know a lot of its sort. Of sample based and we can just tweak with it as we want to live when we incorporate sort of you know sample based loops and stuff with live. Instruments you know and trying to sort of have the best of both worlds you know having your cake and eating it so to speak so so that's. The way we get around and when we get out and play live and obviously believe in it so much you don't really give a [ __ ] if people.

4:08 Think oh looks a bit weird because there's no singer or anything like that it's just as that they're doing what we love you know okay. And I heard a rumor that movies inspired you to to write music so I'm just kind of wondering what type of movies there are they Horrors. Comedies are called porn what what gets he going. Anything really like I mean you know as a kid in the 8th is growing up I mean you had things like you know John Williams. Was such a big thing you know Woody's kind of films a name you know as growing up a little bit you had you know sort of Danny Elfman. And stuff like that and in you know modern times and going back a little bit no cliff Martinez and stuff like that so watching so much TV and movies. And stuff like that it's only natural it's going to seep into you and become a part of the way your eye you know so you almost like when you write things.

4:57 You almost imagine you Ryan for a certain scenario in your head you know that could be a movie or a program you know are there any big John. William tracks that you always go back to like you know Superman or Ichi or anything like any of them I mean I was not returning. To Jedi myself because you know he just used these amazing obviously strings and everything is just amazing and he's sort of haunting weird choirs I mean at the end scene. When they're fine and stuff you know. No I was like it's when he's when Luke's find are Phaedra at the end you and the emperor is like kind of sitting up there you know kind. Of being a bit weird and just like a really just beautiful bit of music really moved why is Thomas like Templar type yeah monk scentless. Yeah and that's that's the one that really quickly gets you going and unlocks your creativity yeah yeah and then going further back than anything you light you know burn at home and or any of those sort.

5:55 Of you know kind of things you know the old Hitchcock or tax will drive you know gets you going every time don't it now I know that you live in New York and Danny. You give me less than I do how's that work because that it's not exactly around the corner is there how do you guys practice and get you the do to over webcams. Or do you just have very expensive air fares every month just so I mean give me so many tracks yeah it's okay to just of it and then it's. A slower talk about a I'm Skype and them just I get together just play it so it goes yeah I know that I'm Chris you're quoted. As saying that you like you New York you love you but you hate the weather especially when it's really sunny and when it's really sunny you actually.

6:42 Miss the rain in Leicester. You do miss the rain it's weird it's of things about the finger New York is like in the in in the winter it's dead dry. You know I meaning you dried out and it's it's weirding in England I know certain life feel to it you know the damn put on that sort of thing like you see in a different way. Once you leave it you get you know when you're looking into it from somewhere else you know so yeah I do miss the rain a bit yeah. Yeah now Chris but most people will obviously know you from from Kassabian do you have any concerns about people doing any comparisons with your band now I'm. Sabian not at all now I mean it's very normal like you know and what most people have been exposed to a music I've done as being with you know kasabian.

7:24 You get what I mean so it's very normal to compare it and also you know right and stuffing up and in contribute in you know sake. You know it's a sonic footprint in their in their past you know so I think it's a natural thing it don't bother me at all Germany. Regrets no no you can't leave for regrets man you can't do it right now no not at all now guys if someone hasn't heard you're bound to fall what. Would you say to him to convince him to listen to your music and income chill gigs I think it's just sorry again was saying earlier. About it's quite an eclectic mix of music and and different sounds you know you can get people interested show wise you know we do use like a bit of a visual element. And stuff like that to mix in with the sound so it's a lot you know it's a lot of experience that our senses and stuff.

8:09 Like that so I think you know I finished something for almost everyone you know to come in and get something from you know great and if you guys had any embarrassing. Experience with anything you've done around the band or on stage I really mean load loads of things loads of mistakes happen on stage but you know if you make you look like you know what you're doing. Yeah if you like trip on a lead or something if you do like a bit of a bit of a shimmy afterwards or something like you know make out like it I was trying to do that that was really a dot smooth ain't.
