Idiot Switch
Åsane Unge Strykere interview Brendan Dougherty from Idiot Switch
Q. Can you describe the sort of music you are making?
A. loud, fast, energetic, fun, angry, honest
Q. Do you think your works would have success in a kindergarten?
A. yes. but only after snack-time.
Q. What about in a nursing home?
A. depends on who is in the nursing home!
Q. Have you ever tried to play a whole piece laying on the floor or standing on your head?
A. on the floor yes. i recently played an improvisation for 12 hours, which was very tiring. a lot of time was spent on the floor. gravity changes when one is playing in horizontal - up instead of sideways.
Q. Do you understand people who want all music to be beautiful.
A. no, because i think music is an art which should reflect how one sees the world and i don't think anyone sees only beauty in the world.
