- Introduce us to the band! What are your names and what do you do in the band?
Where do you call home?
Hello this is DiipSilence, I’m a Chinese solo music and sound artist based in LA. As a solo artist I compose, produce, sing, mix and master my tracks, and sometimes I draw my album cover. I call both China and LA my home.
- How long have you been together as a band and how did you find each other? -n/a
- Do you have a special songwriting recipe you follow?
Yes, for me sound design always goes first. I begin by capturing a variety of sounds during field recording trips, like nature’s ambience, city traffic, urban rhythms, wildlife harmonies, and flowing rivers, etc. Back in the studio, I transform these recordings into unique instruments using software synth or hardware modular synths. These elements form a solid foundation for my music, starting with the most notable instrument(or unrecognizable) I’ve created, I gradually construct melodies and allow the music to naturally take shape.
- How would members of your family describe your music to someone that hasn’t heard it?
- What do you have on your(Spotify) playlists you would be embarrassed for others to see?
Not really, why should I feel embarrassed haha! Keep it open and share!
- Do you have any pre-show rituals?
4-7 breathing rule, 4-sec inhale, hold breath for 7-sec, then exhale big!
Unfortunately nope.
- What do you consider your greatest achievement as far as a band?
A fan send me a message to tell me don’t give up making music, because I sent her the power throughout her hard time.
- What key elements do you believe makes up a successful song?
Genuineness, imperfection, empathy.
* When writing, how do you know when it is finally done?
Usually there’s no end and I’ll just trying to fix the song like forever…But a sign to me that the song is finally done is “I’m bored to that song”.
* What song of yours are you most proud of?
The latest one: Big Hand. This song articulates a profound yearning for freedom and ease in everyday life, “Big Hand” is a metaphor of an invisible force which is hindering my spirit to chase freedom. The notion of metamorphosing into wild symbolizes a form of freedom that transcends conventional boundaries, liberating individuals from the limitations imposed by reality.
* Is it possible to be on the road and not eat junk food? How do you keep it leveled out?
No to me, under the pressure I think there’s no chance to not eat junk food at all. At least some cheat treats, right? But even for fast food there are still healthier stuff to eat, like a salad.
* Are you able to write while on the road or do you need a calm familiar space like home?
Capturing idea on the road is a big part of my writing procedure. While going out for field recording I constantly think how to manipulate the sounds later in the studio, sometimes the lyrics just popped out into my mind I’ll write them down into a small notebook.
* What’s the most embarrassing thing to happen on stage or on tour?
Electricity outrage while performing at a club, very interesting experience.
* What can BleachBANGS do to help you in any way?
Thanks for having me here, it’s already a help!
* How can everyone keep up with everything you have going on? Where can they get albums/merch?
