OK, here's how it is: I was commissioned to do an email interview with Mike Paradinas. That pretty much explains the dramatic lack of competent music journalists in this country... OK, so I was meaning to ask you, guys and gals: what is it that you would ask Mike P. if you had a chance. Mind you, i will probably ignore most of your suggestions , but let that not stop you from going wild. I wanted to add something along the lines of "no childish fanboy questions, no smartass humour", but I know that would only encourage you to give me your worst, hehehe, so... In my absence, Jonesy will oversee this thread and I will come in later today to check it. Thanks, boyos and girlos. |

you could ask if he plans on ever making a collaboration cd again, like expert knob twiddlers and if so, with whom, rdj or someone else.. |
||||||||
|
|

What brought on the fascination to granular synthesis? there was a big jump be two of his albums/ep's much like Aphex Twin when he statred to make the HAB series. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You could ask him if he paid the artists royalties who were sampled for the Planet Mu Allstars stuff. Bearing in mind his objections to filesharing. |
||||||||

Damn you're needed here at times Meho: I'd ask: Why so many different names to release under? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just realised that he may read this thread so could prepare his answers before hand. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah .. woz thinking the same thing. haha .. what about this question: what questions do you want to be asked? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so meho .. where is this interview being published?? some yugo mag? sounds like a nice hook-up. |
||||||||

He he, I think his view on file sharing is pretty apparent judging by his ourtrage at Bilious Paths being leaked ;) Jonesy, damn good question! Giginger: I imagine as it's not a face to face interview, the result would be the same- he could think of answers for hours if he wanted to. Also, he won't know which ones Meho will pick :) My Q's: The new album, particularly the track Meinheld, sounds as though there is a lot of influence by squarepusher. The aformentioned track even sounds like it contains a vocal sample from one of the pusher tracks... are you a fan of his work and has it influenced you at all? With regard to file sharing, don't you agree it can sometimes be beneficial? I personally am not prepared to buy an album by an artist I only a moderate fan of unless I've heard at least some of it beforehand and enjoyed. A friend sent me an MP3 (after the release date) of one of the tracks and that was enough to convince me to buy it. I must be honest, had he not done so I probably would of passed it up... You mentioned this being the last release under the m-ziq name, is that still the plan? How did R&S records hear of you back in the early days (I notice you're on a couple of the "In order to Dance" compilations)? Does hardware have a future other than as a "hands on" controller device fro software? Are there any albums/tracks you've regretted putting out? Not neccesarily because they're bad, but perhaps because they were very personal to you and that has been diluted by them having been released... Any plans for a "Best of" album? ;) |

my question when are you coming to ljubljana :) seriously: since he's really good at finding new artists, i'd ask him if there's a new artist in sight... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He signed someone from here a few months ago. Not heard if anything ha been released yet though. If he's smart he'll get Ochre or Xanpha whilst he still can... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i heard about that guy...but also nothing about his release... and i totally agree on ochre |

Is there any shortcut to the "mu" symbol on a standard QWERTY keyboard? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|

Thanks, kids, your questions will be taken into consideration. I miss you too, gang, it's just that ol' Meho has work to do... Korben, sorry for the gap in communication. I'll drop you an email tomorrow, sorry, boyo, I have been bneglecting you for no other reason but stupidity. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha .. no worries dude. don't beat yourself up over it :) as much my fault as yours. i've got a nice article on the ever mysterious late heidegger. i'll get that and some other scans sorted for you dude. u got any walter benjamin? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you could ask mike: "do you think modernity is disenchanted?" hehe .. maybe "What is your favourite label (besides planet-µ)?" will yield a more straight forward answer. anyway .. how are things? .. hope you're keeping well. |

hi meho! good to see you back, if only you would post more! some questions off the top of the dome: 1) what interests you about hip-hop? any favorite groups or emcees? the gang starr samples were a nice touch on 'royal astronomy' but isn't it funny how this and autechre's dj premier sampling on one of their first albums seem to go over so many of the closeminded electronica fans' heads? you'd think they'd concede that MAYBE hip-hop can be pretty damn good if autechre and mu-ziq are paying homage to one of the most respected groups in the genre. 2) any unreleased tracks from the mike & rich session besides "brivert and muons"? what're the chances you'll encode a higher quality mp3 of that? 3) why do so many planet mu releases go out of print just as people are catching on? do you know how hard a time i've had getting planet mu albums, even ordering online? 4) tell us more about the next planet mu comp, 'children of mu'. who'll be on it? what's the theme? 5) do you agree with what many reviews are saying, that your latest album is your finest work to date? what went into your decision to wait 3 1/2 years between mu-ziq releases? |

maybe someone who knows his address could email those to him, i know he doesn't log into the board much |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
after reading all the questions already made... I cannot think of a new good one... maybe: how the fuck do you print your name with a keyboard? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
solid questions there tits :. would love to know more about children of mu. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my questions 1. would he ever consider releasing a full album in the rude ass tinker guise? i.e deathchant style 2.when will we see a full length bit meddler release on µ? or will it be on another label 3.would he ever do a collabration with tipper? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
1. Do you get much time to make tunes these days besides running your label? |
||||||||
|
|

|

Korben: Will send you a shemale later today. Busy as hell here. Yeah, I have some Benjamin, Nice guy. Tits: thanks for the questions, yeah, i'd love to post more here, but my work has been pretty intense these last few months... Just saw Public Enemy last night, I now that'll make you smile. They tore the roof off the place, even with some inor niggles I have about the gig.. Oh, BTW, I have Mike P.'s email addy, (one of at least), was given it by the editor of the mag I'm supposed to do the interview for. For obvious reasons, I am not allowed to share it. |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|
|
questions for Mike: how is your view on mp3's and the widespread copying of music? why are you hanging around the xltronic-board? what is your favotire equipment? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Are you really Splodgechops at xltronic.com? ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
inor niggles? whatever does THAT mean? i have 1 or 2 of his email addresses too (might be the same address, with the other one bouncing to it), i've emailed him a couple times and he wrote nice small emails back.. great guy |
