Over the years, our interviews have been some of the most revisited posts on infinitestatemachine. As much as I loved doing those extensive phone chats, the transcription and editing of them was truly one of my least favorite things I have ever done in my life.
After doing a little ten questions email interview with Kai Alcè last year for 5 Mag which turned out well, my desire to introduce more people to the underground characters I know was rekindled. This format of interview is much easier to do and turn around, so I will be able to do many more of them and be able to share the love by including less well known cats along with the names that define this music.
The interviews will go like this: I will send ten questions, and the interviewer can reply in however much detail they like. I will keep their answers exactly as they send them back to me. A few more general questions will be reused across different interview subjects, but each will also have personalized questions that I hope will show some of their personality and ideas that make them interesting. I will also ask for some photos to add to the post which can be of the interviewee or not, entirely up to them.
I’ve already heard back from the first group I asked to be part of this, and they were all down with it. The first one will drop tomorrow morning. I hope you all enjoy them.
