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