Interviews - Private Sounds interview
koohnka_100

The last few weeks were very quite for the Private Sounds. We needed to relax and find out how to carry on. Well, here we go! A new member of the team, Koohnka. You can read a not customary interview with him now. It’s an msn conversation. I think it’s much better than 15 questions and 15 considered PR answers.

 

 

-         Hello! Can we flock together or talk in e-mail instead?

 

-         Hi István! One moment, I take off my staff, I’ve just arrived from the Hévíz lake.

Ok, I’m here. I need to work off the stress I got all day. You can’t believe how this lake can balance me. That’s the place where sadness is over. I love it!

So the mail-version is easier for me. But why don’t you ask now? Both of us are online.

 

-         Are you working on something nowadays?

 

-         Yes, I am. Adam Byrd was here for a few days. We carry on our production. What we done first, wasn’t good for Frenák, he said it’s too difficult. So we had to change our conception and from deep minimal we went on techy sounds. I’m stayer and the interesting, precious exercises motivate me.

I can’t go on with mixes. I bought a notebook, but integrated soundcards are not the best for my ears, so I’ll wait with recording till I get a qualitiy audiokoohnka_mix writer deck.

Though I’ve got so many ideas! The „Ön-Ac-Kép” and the „Journey” are ready for continue. Autumn is coming with its variety moods, so no doubt, a new part of these compilations will born soon. Maybe not with the same name, but it’ll reflect the individual. But I didn’t tell a new thing with this, I think.

 

-         I wrote you cause I’d like to ask you for a job. I don’t know if it interests you.

 

-         Nah, let me know what’s that! Do you need a medical massage?

 

-         Sometimes that would be good.  :)

I’d like you to make the Private Sounds 07.

 

-         Uhhh…!!! Cor blimey??!! I don’t need thinking to give answer! How did you choose me??

 

-         You’ve got something around you. I can feel it in your mentalitiy. I could say more but that’s not my style, you know me.

We need also some comments beside the album.

 

-         Well, I don’t like artificial things, but I’ve got many ideas in my head.

 

-         Last time what you told me was "The feelings, thoughts that are constantly following each other without cease in your mind have a great influence on your surroundings and then it is reverted back to you shaping your future" I think this is something we should really delve into!

 

-         That's to be comprehended as it is written there. That is the essence of it all. In my humble opinion the energy connections have two directions. They are either coming out of us or caming back. If we respect or love a person the light reaches them as well as ourselves but if we hate someone then an negative effect reaches us and increases the possibility of hating someone. If you really do pay attention to yourself and your environment then you start receiving, sensing these feelings sings and atmoshpheres even if they are coming from a distant continent.

-         How can you be so positive????

 

-         Listen, István! I you care about what you do and don’t care about doubts in your head, then you can go by them and you can live the happy moments.

My ideology is optimist, though happenings show the opposite. I think we are at the deepest point of a wave, so the only possible way is up after this.

Love is always in our heart in every moment. We have to find it in ourselves and radiate to our milieu. If we do that, we’ll get it back. We’ll be happier and more loveful in life. Honestly, it’s not easy. We have to practice. In my view the more we know how to create ourselves an environment full of love the more chance we have to become what we can be.

 

-         Nah ok. I’m going and put my brain out in the fresh air.

About the 07 album, we should link it to the film „Seven”. I’ll send you my cover-plans, maybe you’ll get some idea.

 

-         Thanks, István, but if I do something, it must be borned from my ideas. Can I say no?

 

-         If you bear yourself well! :)

 

koohnka_mix2-         If you allow me, I’ll entrust the cover to Zsófi Pész. We can link number 7 to the album. I’ll present what music means for me with 7 words. I’ve got 8 words at the moment, but maximum 1 of them won’t be on it.

 

-         Ok, but it should be in English. That’s the trend. :)

 

-         No problem. Groove, frequency, journey, emotions, dimensions, connections, histories, healing. Healing is in a strong contact with music, but not on this level, so I’ll keep the other words.

 

-         It’s ok for me. I’ll make the intro and outro, but won’t say in the other thing.

And how about gigs?

 

-         Miserable. Almost nothing.

 

-         What about Deephousedobostomi? The project is started again if I’m right.

 

-         No, it’s not restarted.

If we do something, we do it together.

Music means too musch for us. It’s a medium for strong emotions. With music you give a piece of your softest individual, tell a story and invite the audiance for a journey without forgetting that you add something for the positive edification and thinking.

Tamás is a very refined soul and maybe it means something that we do the nights together. When I began to buy my records and years went by, one of my biggest wishes was to play with Tomi Dobos once.

I never cared about the surface. We never push down others and never rough others up just to get forward. The scene is unbelievable for me these days. People are in „positions” who should have left long time ago. They add almost nothing to the culture. As I said before: "What is important in every moment is the value without concession."

 

-         You are right! Someones should leave!

 

-         I haven’t told you! I met with Zoltán (From P60) and he gave me the producer-copy of his new record (Sinking With The Fall), that the labelsent him from NewYork. I got the „Slow Moments In The Night” EP like this. Zoltán sent it with you to Justmusic radio when I was playing in Strictly! Thursday.

 

-         These are real presents! I like Zoltán’s works and himself as well.

 

-         Yes, he’s a great guy, but he shouldn’t have borned here. He could be famous at Americans.

 

-         Is this Mala Garden something new?

 

-         Yes, it’s absolutely fresh. It’s just opened. I’ve been there a few times. It completely captivate me. I was at Stone’s birthday party where Tamás talked about this place. We went there on the same night, from Szántód to Siófok. It made a big impression on me. I told Tamás I wanted to play there. Suitable for our sounds. And here we go! Starting on 20th July.

-         I hope you don’t wanna give up djing anymore! If I’m right, in your first interview you had a sentence like this.

Yes, I mentioned it in the Private Revelation conversation. (just hungarian site series) We stay a collector with Dobos Tomi. The scene is incredible. There is only a little pinhole of light. I gladly go to play if I’m invited, but don’t have big dreams. I never had them. I don’t really want to attend on smatterer people.

 

-         But that would be more profitable.

 

-         Thanks, but that’s not me!

 

-         Work?

I’m enthusiastic in it. I’d like to work with people on, making massage, but from more aspects. The purpose is to obtain the broadest spectrum of knowledge that is possible in sake of the more effective curing.

 

-         Ok bro. I’m going. I’ll send the music. Thanks for yout help! Bye

 

-         See you, István.
