Ex-Nihilo


Vassago the mighty prince of Ex-Nihilo gave me the opportunity to ask some questions, regardless of the language barrier, this is what he had to say!

Can you tell me a bit about Ex-nihilo as ways of introduction to people that don’t know of you?
Ex nihilo started in 1998 with a singer, a drummer, a sound engineer and a pianist,the project was to be of the Dark_Wave-Electro style.The project with several people did not last, and Ex nihilo was really formed with 2 people from 1998-1999, me and the sound engineer. Then since 1999, I managed all the following albums SEN solo (I undertook the 12 following albums and the 6 Slaps of A to Z). (Except some Remixes and Covers with other underground groups coming from other countries. (which can be seen on the Ex nihilo website for more details).

What are the responsibilities in the band? Who does what i.e. lyrics, music, art?
As I explained, I occupied myself with this from the end of 1998 - beginning 1999. I am responsible for the sleeve design of the albums and tapes, the lyrics of the songs and the composition of the music. Philosophical paintings, texts, (Lyrics), poems etc...

With what music did you each grow up with?
Thanks to my mother, I was introduced to New Wave and also Rock'n'roll (a Little Punk as well). I adore the music of Moroder (Midnight Express) I intend to make another reprise of this Soundtrack... I as well as the very poetic texts of certain French artists such as "Jacques Brel, Gainsbourg..." But also "OMD-Alpaville-Secret Service-Depeche mode and especially... The Cure and Siouxsie, which pushed me to be a musician, in spite of the fact that my music has nothing to do with these groups... I like also much "Moricone and Carmina Burana...

Have any of you formal training on any instruments?
I learned certain basics, certain instruments, but in vain... I am a scientific musician; it is the name that I give to the style of my compositions. My recording studio is called "the Laboratory of Sciences of the Sound" With that, a scientific musician, I think that the name that I created will be a truth for the solo creators of today, still much more for those of the future!

If you had to classify or label yourself, what would that be?
Approximately, my music is very Indus-Techno, but the majority of the people that listen to my music really do not manage to classify it, and so much the better, I prefer that! I mix too many styles, which creates my own mark, overall my own label and sound. On one hand this is positive (To be original...) and Negative on the other, (not able to find a label having the courage to launch it... these labels that are satisfied with simple groups composing a kind of stereotype pseudo underground music, resembling Dance. These groups creating in 2 minutes a repetitive melody of shit, that makes me laugh, because that is not worth a fart and it is that which goes on to labels... Caution!!! Soon the Gothic Star Academy... Ha! Ha! Ha! (It is obviously sarcastic...)

How would you describe your music to people who have never heard of you before?
That it is Avant-gardiste and deserves more attention...
