INTERVIEW: Frenzy Jones

Como Las Grecas welcomes Frenzy Jones to the site for todays artist interview.

Can you tell us a little about your experience? Where are you from / how did you get into music? 

Born in Sofia, Bulgaria, currently in London UK. Got into music as a teenager influenced by synthesizers and the electronic scene from the 90s. Have a classical degree as well as a classical pianist and composer. Writing symphonic pieces as well, really into that too.

Who have been your main inspirations (both musical and in «life»)? And how have they affected your sound? –

Have plenty of influences. As a record producer have been influenced by 90s electronic scene. Love 80s new wave and synth oriented music as well, the 80s as a whole. Otherwise don’t think anyone can beat Beethoven and Rachmaninov 🙂

How would you define your sound? –

The sound is wild. Love making different styles of music and not sticking up to just one. Besides I have so many synths and good sounds I want to use that I need a scene to show them all.

How has your sound evolved so far? Do you see yourself as part of one style of music? –

Started with simple software now having a whole studio full of synths and machines. Don’t want to stick to one sound alone. Love making different styles, depending on the mood.

What can you tell us about your last release? What inspired you? What do you want to convey? –

Came out as an idea while messing around with my Sequential Prophet Rev 2 synthesizer. Then I came up with the lyrics and the melody and all was put together with ease afterwards. A mixture of all that I like, from the 80’s sounds and synthesizers, to modern electronic music and in between.

What modern artists are you enjoying? Maybe you can share some lesser known artists we might not know of? –

Trying to listen to diverse material and artists. No one particular really, but love it when artists really come up with their synths and machines and try to make it as live as possible.

What projects are you working on right now? –

Working on some more tracks, diverse ones. More house sounding material to be released the next few months, but also working on a full lenght EP that’d be again heavily influenced by the 80s sound.
