“There’s a record that totally changed my life.”
“This is Sigur Ros album named ( ) released in 2002. The only thing I do not remember is how I heard about this band from Iceland. At that time, they were well known but not like nowadays. It was on Christmas, and there, I remember everything. My brother and I went to the record store. By the way, what a pleasure it was to go to the store and search for hours for some new music. We bought the CD, and the artwork was quite mysterious. We got back home, sat in the living and started to play video games with the music in the background.
After the third track, we literally dropped the joysticks down and were completely upset. I can say I never felt such emotion listening to music. Their music was in complete connection with my feelings and what I wanted to listen to. Pure and ethereal. From this day, we decided to start our very first band called A Red Season Shade and post rock was everything to us.
As a guitar player, it certainly shaped my sound and how I compose. Even if my music evolved within the past years and became more pop and electronic, my post rock roots remain.”
