Dear sirs! We have great interest in your work.Please advise is it possible to receive information about you right from the first hand.We should be very obliged if you would answer some our questions.We are planning to write about you in our ER-WOLF'zine or radio shows "CHARONS CHRONICLES" and "MORPHEUS OF EMBRACES".
1. Because it is our first interview with you let's make a short excursus to the history?
Well, we have been grouped in 1995 because we just wanted to play a specific kind of music, and we don't have listen any other group like us...
2. The name of your group is there any sense in it?
Yeah, in "piemontese" it means "sheepers". Piemontese is a local language in Italy.
3. Tell us about your way in music. Do you feel any constraint in your style, in any conception? Do you see any ways of progress, of movement forward? Is the output in the same place where the input is?
Our music is a particular feeling of what we feel in real life of every day. We haven't any constrictions and for this reason we don't follow any trend.
4. What is the main in music - technical things and possibilities or atmosphere (soul) ?
Surely atmosphere because we are very technician players... I play keybords from the age of 6.
5. What inspire you to write such kind of music? What is the source (basis) of your style?
From the first time I've seen a sheep I knew that I will love them for all my life and so we have decided to make public our feelings to all the world.
6. What is the mainstream of your lyrics? What do you want to tell about?
Sheep, of course, and also Roman history and unknown cartoons. The meaning of our decisions is to mantain our roots in minds of our listeners.
7. What do you think about release of your album now? Was it possible to make it better?
We are in touch with a little indipendent label in Recco, Vitra Production, and we will produce the complete album in the next year.
8. What do you think have extreme music to get any ideology or not?
It depends on the people that play...
9. Is your group under any influence of commerce?
Absolutely not! We want that people knows that commercial albums are shitty albums.
10. Do you take part in another projects?
Not at all.
11. Do you have such notion like responsibility on your fans? I know many groups that have changed the style but remained the old name. What do you think about it?
I think that all depends on the sense of responsability on their heads, I don't think that writing about this or that will influence their life or their future.
12. Do you have a temptation to write music of another style, more or less popular?
No, we just play what we feel.
13. What is your future plans?
Play, play, play, and play again.
14. Do you think that the man is the most evil on the Earth?
Arab is known to be thief, and so we think that if you are born wolf you will remain wolf for all your life.
15. What can reduce you to despair?
The soppression of Nature surely will cause a disfunction of man capacity.
16. Can absence of money influence on your creative work?
No, we never had money.
17. Was do you think the year of 98 successful for extremal music? What do you think is the most remarkable?
We think that 1998 is the year of MARGAROS !!!!!
18. It is said that receipt of success is simple enough - 50% of good music and 50% of big money. Is it possible to reach the success without support of the reliable label?
Our music is 101% of GOOD music and -1% of money, because we have produced our first album and so...
19. What are you afraid most of all?
I fear the wolf that will eat my favourite sheep... there is a philosophical concept under this idea, my "pegua" just want to say that if she will meet the bad wolf she will kill him...
20. What are PAZUZU wrong and good sides?
Pazuzu is only a name for what I are really inside.
21. Are there principles you have never waived?
In my childhood I liked "Aladdin" concept of life.
22. And in the end: what do you want to say especially for our readers (listeners) in Russia?
If you are still there, please contact me for the demo, I will send you and you will know another real size of life, you will talk to the planets without a ticket to Mars...
Best regards
