What a fucking weekend!
Friday:
Headed down to San Diego to finally kick it with Mr. Tyler Viscerine and Mr. Vuxnut.
Many drinks were had, lots of bullshit was talked, and not much sleep was done.
Saturday:
Embodi prepared for the show and finally headed down to Mexico from the house!
Set up, ate amazing nachos, got the worst fucking headache, kicked the shit out of the virus club, walked back to the border, passed out! Big thank you to ISAYASS for hauling our gear in your car!
Sunday:
Recovering day. We just chilled and hung out. Bullshitted in the garage with Alyssa and ISAYASS till 3.am.! Awesome! Shane mentioned we should set up our gear and jam monday night...
Monday:
Woke up late, went shopping for groceries for the "gathering" later in the evening and ate a kick ass california burrito. Shane and I set up our gear in the garage and ISAYASS brought his dj rig so we'd have music to dance to. Cooked some hotdogs and hamburgers, started drinking, got my ass kicked in GOTH, began to drink, jammed, got my ass served again in GOTH, and played at a rave! Crazy fucking night full of racism, the scorpians and lots of harsh jamming.
Eventually passed out...
Tuesday:
Woke up, ate, dj'd with ISAYASS in the garage, got sad cause I knew we were gonna have to go back to l.a. soon, got my ass served again in GOTH, said our goodbye's and left s.d....
2007 was by far the worst fucking year of my life. But coming down to S.D., kicking it, and ringing in the new year with everyone made all that b.s. soo worth it.
A HUGE THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART TO ANTHONY, ALYSSA, SHANE, AND ISAYASS for showing me an amazing time! I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else! |

old interview from?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Embodi is a gaze 'n' noise project signed to Mechanizms that has been in existence since 2005. Last month I had the opportunity to interview Mekano, the brains behind Embodi. For more info check out: http://www.myspace.com/embodimusic
Introduce yourself; who are you / what do you do?
Hi my name is Mekano and I am the heart and soul of Embodi.
What is Embodi? Can you give us a brief bio?
Embodi is a project I started in late 2005 as an outlet to express a
lot of the negative emotions I was dealing with at the time. I was signed to
Mechanismz in early 2006. I've had the pleasure of remixing some of my
favorite artists in the scene and have been working on my debut for
about 2 years.
How did you come up with the name Embodi? What does it mean?
I actually found the name in a medical dictionary. To me it's an
embodiment of my personal feelings towards life.
What do you hope to achieve with / though the medium of music? What
CAN be achieved through this medium?
Basically just to connect with people.. Like the 1st time I heard The
Smiths or Depeche Mode. I was able to connect and feel something really
unique and different. This is what I am trying to achieve with Embodi.
What inspires you to write music?
women, lust, life, emptiness, love...
How is the process writing a harsh track like “All Night!” different
from a more ambient track like “Oceans (I love you when you smile)”
With a track like all night I was purposely trying to make a clubby harsh
track. I wanted to make something that people could dance too and
would be fun to play live.
With Oceans I basically tried the capture the feeling of hopelessness
and despair. I wanted to make the listener feel what I was feeling when I
wrote it. So a track like that is much more personal and "real".
I can see the gridlock/bitcrush influence in tracks like Hours (wasted).
Would you ever do an entire album like this or will you always include
songs from a variety of musical styles?
YES! Album #2 will explore that sound way more than ever. It will be way
more ambient and harsh. But not in a 4/4 kinda way. I've been
listening to a lot of Keef Baker and Marching Dynamics so it'll be interesting!
I notice that you tend to use a lot of samples in your music? Any
reason for this? How do you feel about sampling in music in general?
Blame Skinny Puppy! I loved listening to their albums and trying to figure
out where the samples came from. So I carry this on with Embodi. I will
sample anything that makes me laugh or makes me feel! I do think a lot
of bands tend to sample the same movies over and over and that can get
really lame. Now I'm not saying that I have never sampled a film like Aliens or
Hellraiser for example. But I do try my best to sample a lot of films
that would most of the time go under the radar...like TOY STORY!
How does living in California influence you / your music?
Downtown L.A., Hollywood, Laguna Beach...all these places have done nothing
but fuel my creative process. Certain places at certain times leave you with
a memory or a feeling that I have been able to incorporate into Embodi.
What do you think the future of industrial music is? Where is there
left to go?
Sadly I think we'll just recycle ourselves over and over...For an
example TBM? What the fuck is that! I think bands will just keep thinking of
more stupid genres and people will keep thinking it's new. Kinda sad...
What are the top albums that inspire you?
The Chameleons U.K. - Script of the Bridge
Cocteau Twins - Head Over Heels
Cranes - Loved
Bitcrush - in distance
Slowdive - Souvlaki
Keef Baker - The Widnes Years
Death in June - Nada!
Skinny Puppy - Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse
The Smiths - Meat is Murder
Depeche Mode - Ultra
What are the top movies?
Lost in Translation
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
C.H.U.D.
Monsters Inc.
Dawn of the Dead (original)
Evil Dead 2
Judge Dredd
Wedding Singer
Amelie
Clerks
Closer
What is currently on the Embodi agenda?
Putting Excursions into Sleep out!
Preparing for a show at minimal club called M/R/X on July 7th
Heading up to San Francisco to play with Savak, Exillon, and Marching
Dynamics on August 19th.
Playing Terrorkamp (festival) on August 25th here in L.A.
Working on remixes and album #2!!!
Any final words?

music: marching dynamics - stoic
|
Last night I went for a midnight walk around town. My soundtrack for the night was Marching Dynamics - Nailsleeper. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One of the best albums of the year...Fucking mind blowing, undescribable electronik voltaire! Nuff' said buy the fucking album if you haven't!
Halloween was fucking nuts. Bunker was loads of fun! TO MEGA THERION totally owned the noize room, the alcohol was flowing, "there was a chance of showers", way too many stupid conversations, and me finally getting a copy of the W.A.S.T.E. - violent delights that I'm on, the marching dynamics, and a mini e.p. from to mega therion that has my remix on it!!!!!!!!! Killer night!
Afterwards I headed back to Phil's (Doomie) house to work on:
OF DESPAIR
oh and you NEED to buy this!
CYLAB's third release, a remix endeavor entitled "Disseminate", will be released on December 4th, 2007 and will feature remixes of songs from their previous two releases, "Unparallel Universe" (2004) and "Satellites" (2006). Also included on this album and nowhere else, is their cover of Nivana's "Heart-Shaped Box", which has been winning audiences over during their recent live shows.
"Disseminate" features remixes by well know, established acts as well as up-and-comers. Also featured on this release are the winners from their remix contest, the Los Angeles based Embodi and New Yorks own Interface.
CYLAB has recently been described by Ilker Yücel of Re:Gen Magazine as a band that "recalls the danceable tension of Haujobb mixed with the discomforting calm of Sneaker Pimps."
The full track listing of the album is as follows:
01. Content (Found Thru Embodi Mix - "Content" Contest Winner)
02. Satellites (Polarized Remix by Displacer)
03. Parting Fields (Black Harvest Mix by God Module)
04. Embryo Time (Pacific Mile's Fertility Mix)
05. Dented Halos (Imperative Reaction Remix)
06. Tides (Drukore's Nevermore Rework)
07. Kundalini (Lucky 13 Mix by CombiChrist)
08. Path (Haujobb Remix)
09. Greys (Graced by Shok mix)
