IVAN ANDROYNA INTERVIEW
Hi Ivan! What is music for you? Music is the thing that moves me and connect with positive energy. Without it, my days are empty, but with it everything looks and sounds better. Describe us your first contact with electronic music. When was it, why did you like it, which songs were your favorites? First I spent lots of time listening to music, and early in my life I was always making my compilations of songs. Once I stumbled onto one compilation with nothing but instrumentals, where the good rhythm lead to great refrain. Immediately I fell in love with that sound. After that I started following some compilation edition like "Club Rotation", "Dream Dance", "Tunnel Trance", "Mystery Trance" and others. That way I got more and more familiar with them and loved it even more. My favorite songs are "Paul van Dyk - For An Angel" and "Cosmic Gate -Exploration of Space" When and how did you decide to become a DJ and producer? One of my friends called me to show me a music program he got. When I familiarized with it and learned how to use it, strong desire came over me to buy my own computer and to create music. I was addicted ever since :) How would you describe your unique style? Harmonic, super melodic followed with good rhythm. When I'm creating my songs it is always important to me to express some narrative and spread some positive energy for all who listen to it. Which producers had the most influence on you? ATB, Armin van Buuren, Cosmig Gate, Paul van Dyk, Simon Patterson, Above & Beyond What are your top 5 electronic songs of all time? There are so many of them. Five is a very small number for me. For me, the new song that I like always become my favorite. So I don't really have an answer to this question :) How would you describe present electronic scene? Is it good or bad? Compare it with music 10 years ago. Electronic scene advanced greatly, and that could be seen from many music festivals that are numerous through the year. Every day produces a new DJ/Producer with some fantastic song. That shows the rise of interest for this music and sound. It doesn't matter if it's a House, Techno or Trance. Simple, electronic music, that make us happy, is all around us today. What about other music genres? What do you like to listen? I'm eclectic. Pretty much I'm listening to everything. Lately I'm enjoy in new hits that are on top charts. Your top 5 non-electronic songs? There are many of them. But for now I'll say that my favorite is "Eleanor & Jasper - I got that fire in my soul" :) Tell us something more about yourself, your other interests, hobbies? I love music and sport. Your favorite films? For now I'll say that best movie for me is "Edge Of Tomorrow" with Tom Cruise and directed by Doug Liman Do you like to travel? Who doesn't :) And the last question, what are your future plans? I'm planning some new tracks to work on :) |
