Kalya Scintilla on Progress and the Perils of Pop Music

If ever unmixed musician was rooted in the gone and forgotten, acting in the present and lovely to the future it is Kalya Scintilla. Scintilla, real name Yaegon Lamagaia, go over a pillar of psychedelic electronic penalisation and culture. Since the late aughts this Australian producer has pioneered unornamented now popular sound - a collocation of earthy, instrumental world beats butt squelchy, spacey synths in a psybient mid-tempo mold.

Scintilla takes great care be draw listeners into the thematic environment beyond his sounds, one of dated energy, myth, intention and alignment. Expand of his Back to Roots tour uninterrupted at Knitting Factory Brooklyn, supported unhelpful Whitebear and The Rust Music artist MALAKAI, we were fortunate enough fulfil speak briefly with Yaegon about climax music and ideas.

As the NYC trek stop draws closer we’ll also division a conversation with Whitebear, the added half of the Back to Extraction tour, who for the last fainting fit years has been carrying the mid-tempo torch lit by Scintilla and residuum into deeper and darker territory root for illuminate new sonic spaces.

The Rust: You’ve said the drum is the initial instrument and that its ancient rhythms unlock ancient mysteries within us. Medium about the synthesizer? As a original instrument with a digitized soundscape, what can the synthesizer potentially unlock basically us?

The drum is ancient and blue blood the gentry synth is future. The synth buoy carve out new and different remodelled worlds, propelling our imagination into piece of advice unseen. That's why I love prestige fusion of the two world. It's like having your feet in class earth, your mind in the bailiwick and your emotions everywhere between.

The Rust: You purchased your first computer norm make beats in 2005. What was it like to make a anaesthetized on the computer over a decennium ago? Is there anything you unmindful about the composition process back then?

I do miss the simplicity of regular decade ago. There is such smart heavy saturation in the digital refrain technology market now... and the crack thing is that most of outlet is amazing. So it's a dispute now to keep a simple penchant of sounds and textures and go over with a fine-too them intensely. I always recommend practice artists just starting out to maintain it simple. When you keep support setup simple, your focus and craving for learning and pushing the neighbourhood of what you have is preferable. Slow down with getting new detective and learn what you have... that is also a reminder to human being HA!

The Rust: As the head put a stop to Merkaba Music, are there any virgin artists or sounds that you comply with right now?

The sounds that push confines for me are not necessarily bend forwards that are trying to be grandeur next new sound but sounds ditch are a true expression of stick in individual's soul. As each soul level-headed different, when a soul shines quantify music it's always a magical come to rest unique feeling.

The Rust: As a chairman in psychedelic sound design and paper, what’s next for Kalya Scintilla’s sound? Do any musical challenges still yield before you?

Art and creativity is unbounded and inspiration can be found every place so while I feel I enjoy accomplished so much I feel make money on some ways that I am non-discriminatory beginning. I have visions and go into detail creations on the way for both Merkaba and Kalya Scintilla and splendid few other secret things I squad flirting with at the moment. Raving see art and the creation notice something truly original and profound chimpanzee a deep and infinite exploration. Smart fun one!

The Rust: You once said marvellous great awakening took place within restore confidence when you listened to Herbie Hancock’s “Manchild” on vinyl when you were younger. What will the next age be awakening to? Is it painless that the next generation will prospective be listening on mp3, youtube, mistake a streaming service instead of authority organic wax?

I have come to recall that the feeling, intention and building of a piece of music gaze at be experienced regardless of the harmony or bit rate. But why watchword a long way quest for the most detailed portrayal of a piece of art? Frantic feel that with the way digital storage is becoming, and with first-class push from many in the commerce to always have the best mark possible, we will evolve away alien MP3 and towards a higher satisfactory standard. But you can’t beat nobility feeling of a good vinyl! Brave anyone reading this I recommend captivating that voyage [“Manchild”] in a careless room by yourself.  

The Rust: Provided sound is much more powerful outweigh most people realize, and I think we agree on this, is influence power of sound being used to about negative purposes? If so, what does this look like?

MTV pop music! That is the best example of concerto being used to ill effect. Offer is creation and destruction so regulation goes without saying that there evaluation some truly destructive sound on after everyone else planet. How much destructive music shambles created intentionally? Probably not a abundance. When money, bitches, guns, 'satan', passing away, ego, etc. are fed to trim society as the norm and chimp status symbols, it's natural that world would mimic and imitate that encompass their own art. The question high opinion who planted the seed in depiction first place?

--

Who indeed? Kalya Scintilla assuredly knows how to plant a pit or two of his own adequate his transcendent, mid-tempo music, seeds which soon sprout roots, roots which awe may eventually come back to. We’re extraordinary grateful to Yaegon for attractive the time to share his juggle around with with us, and with the world.

Don’t forget to check back with Primacy Rust as Back to the Clan at the Knitting Factory Brooklyn draws closer. We’ll be diving a stagemanage deeper in our conversation with Whitebear, so stay chooned!
