JOHN R1SE

R1SE - "I created this project with my friend Andrey, but a few years later we realized that we wanted to create different styles of music. Presently Andrey retired from the music scene, but i'm still trying to create something great."
R1SE - "FiXT is something like a first point for me, a place where i started produce my different ideas independently. Yes, I have a certain liking for this label and Celldweller too, but now it's in past for me. Now I found my way and my team."
R1SE - "It's a question about skills. One of Red Online's problems was the quality of arranging and mixing. I tried to make the best results, but in this time we were poor students, we did not have enough time and money. Overall this process consumed too much time. After ending our band, I concentrated on improving my skills and tried to find ways to earn from music."
R1SE - "Oh, this EP is about my epic fantasies. Inside we are all children, but outside everything around me is really boring. So, my new music is something like a soundtrack for stories in my head, where I am a main character of course.

R1SE - "Inspiration was everywhere. Seriously, I can be inspired by movies, by good music, by talking with anyone, even by a glass of some alcohol, if I drank it at the right time of course. I do not remember, was the end of the 2012, when I started writing these tracks. I was probably inspired by the work. Then I worked for a company engaged in video-production, it was something new for me. Every day, new shooting, new locations, various technical things (oh yeah, engineering in any form is a great force), new people, girls in particular, overall is enough reasons to be inspired. By the way the first track on the album was originally written for commercials, but by the end there were more orchestral elements than originally anticipated, and I decided to do something with it."
R1SE - "So, Al Defender fully reconstructed the original track. Now it includes more electronic sounds, and overall its sound is like a very stylish electronic-orchestral hybrid. Really, when I listen this track I see something like a fashion show or end titles of some design movie. I think it's a really interesting result, and for sure it makes the album more diverse.
R1SE - "Well, I think i can add 3-4 new tracks and couple new remixes, but I don't have an exact plan. Now I'm producing a lot of music for commercial purposes, and it requires a lot of time and effort, but I hope I can find forces inside to release the full album at the end of this year or early next year. Except time, I have one more problem. It's about wholeness and monotony on the other side. In the first, third and fifth track you can hear really similar sounds and song structures. From one side it's a good decision - it's my recognizable style. But from the other side these tracks may sound monotonous if you listen to them in a row. in general, I have to find a new solution, where new tracks will not stand out from the overall sound, but at the same time will bring something new."
R1SE - "Concerts are a very cool thing. In my life I have been part of more than fifty concerts as a part of different groups. If we talk about my solo project, to be honest I do not know how to find the best way to do this in view of my half-cinematic music. And another question is where and to whom to play this kind of music? If you will find a suitable event please inform me.
R1SE - "Thank you for your questions guys, see you!"
