El próximo sábado 18 de enero tendremos la oportunidad de
ver en directo en
Café La Palma a
Sandra Kolstad, cantante muy popular en Noruega gracias a su
pop electrónico que ella misma define: bailable, explosivo y extravagante.
Aquí os dejamos con una pequeña entrevista que concedió
especialmente a Urban Side Project…
1. I would like to know
something about your influences both in rock and electronic music. How did you
start as a musician and when did you choose to play electronic music?
When I grew up, my father was
running a record store in Oslo, the first record store there to bring in
alternative music from abroad. I grew up listening to a lot of progressive
music and space rock, like Hawkwind and Gong. Later on I developed my own taste
for hip hop and electronic music. Parallell to this I was always playing
classical piano. As I started getting serious about making my own music, the
sound that felt right was within electronic music. Now I am slowly also
integrating more acoustic sounds into the electronic sound. That’s very
interesting and exciting.
2. What feelings do you
want to find out in your Album ‘(Nothing
Last) Forever’? What do you want to say to people?
(Nothing Lasts) Forever was written
with water as the theme, both lyrically and musically. Water is a heavy symbol,
associated with the unconciusness, birth, life, death.... And to me most
of all change. (Nothing Lasts) Forever is about the only thing we know is true:
That everything is changing all the time. The terror of it, and the beauty of
it.
Suka ha presentado su nuevo álbum "The North
Node" con un concierto que de por sí ya es un evento. Hada, cantante y
compositora, es el alma de la banda y se avala de la colaboración de varios
músicos para conseguir un efecto casi teatral.
Muchos son los interpretes que se
alternan y comparten el escenario con ella, desde El Flaco (Flaco Barral), guitarrista
eclectico con tintes Hindú, hasta su amiga cantante Giselle
Wai Lau la cual está presente en el disco con el tema "Walking in the rain". Esta
serie de colaboraciones rompe con las dinamicas del concierto tradicional
ofreciendo asi una sesión más variada, aunque quizás a veces demasiado
descontinua.
