GONZAI magazine interview with Symboter

GONZAI online magazine did an interview with me about my music and work with machines and robots. Now it has been published online in their magazine with many photos and links (french language, some links don’t work anymore). The interview spins around my thoughts and works with machinery in sound and physical art. I like the somehow funny and dystopic style of the interview text.

Here is the link to the online interview.

Here is an excerpt of the introduction: Après une pause de presque trois décennies, Olaf Schirm – son vrai nom – continue avec le même état d’esprit : d’une part jouer et expérimenter avec ses synthés, et de l’autre combattre les dérives de la machine, la paresse de la pop et le futur surinformatisé qui nous attend. Voici donc son cyber-plan de bataille.

About Symboter at DieOrDiy

Platform “Die Or Diy” reports about my music on cassette “Matrix, Synchrotron and Phon-Ethik” .

“Phon-Ethik” is described as (excerpt): A cassette full of beautiful analogue warmth, with quite a few decent tunes.Honest electronic musik before it was turned into the ultimate W.M.D (weapon of mass distraction). Also, the best Symboter cassette. 

“Synchrotron” is qualified as (excerpt): More Tangerine Dream/Kraftwerk/soundtrack library music hybrid from Symboter. Crammed full of top of the range analogue beauty, from a treasure trove of classic synthesizers in Symboter HQ;… Lovely stuff.

“Matrix” remarks are (excerpt): The vocoder use is especially pleasing, new Generation, being a prime example of who to subtly use this classic device. Fans of anything on Colin Potter’s Integrated Circuit Records will love this.

Here is the link to the report
