TERRA SOUNDTRALIS


Can You give us a brief story on how DREAM INTO DUST was formed?

DREAM INTO DUST was actually considered for the title of the 1995 december cassette, as well as for the name of band itself,however stubborness won out and "Hope for Nothing" came out by DECEMBER.Later the generic sound of word and its subsequent overuse by various bands began to annoy me, so it was changed, since the sound was maturing anyway.


Comparing DID to DECEMBER, your side-project's more electro oriented, are there other things that differ both groups?

DREAM INTO DUST is the next step, not a side project. I would have to disagree with the "electro" tag though. Although more sampling is used,there are a great deal of organic sound, that are simply warped through effects and other means. Besides, that word brings to mind fat more synthesised sounds, than we use, I have nothing against synths, but there's actually no synth on the album. Mostly what sounds like is probably Patrick's guitar or microphone feedback effects."A Prison For Oneself" is even further, being entirely constructed of samples of instrumentation of the type used in "The Prisoner" cult tv series. Probably the new material will bring some of the older sound back, while still going further.


I tried to get the meaning of your lyrics. I thought it might be inspired by a historical events because of cover picture, title, disc graphic, but finally I've found nothing but recordings of different states of emotion, negative feelings, thoughts...Did I missed the sense of them?

Your general reading is basically correct, although there is no real historical backgrounds inherent. No one's interpretations of the lyrics can be truly "wrong" unsless they make blatant and sweeping statements and block alternate meanings.The words have a personal meanings.The words do have a personal meaing and resonance, but they're veiled in poetry, metaphor and symbolism. Every word is there for a reason.


Would I be wrong if I state the music from "No Man's Land" kind of sonic background for the lyrics, because it's so strongly bound up with each other?

I disagree with the "sonic backgrounds" idea,although it may seem that way on the track, such as "Dissolution". However, I agree that our music and lyrics interwined. Often the main lyrical and musical ideas come separately, and at some point while still forming the're joined,and then completed together. Each would be less without other.


What has the response been to your debut MCD "No Man s Land" ? Did some record label get interest in releasing a full length?

The response has been good, with better comments and discussions of the music than before. It surprises me that it is seen as very experimental by most, except perhaps those artists and listeners who are more experimental than us. As for the record label,this MCD would have been released by "Elfenblut" If not for the poor timing or its completion.


Anything in closing?

Bryin and I began another project called OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN which is a true collaboration. The full length CD "Seven Ovens Of The Soul" is out on Suffering Clown/World Serpent. It's more electronic, more experimental, more chaotic than our other projects. Dark atmospheric, tribal, industrial soundscapes. Thank you for this opportunity to be heard.
