Christian Duka's "Human Presence": To me living life is living art and I really want to bring awareness to the art of everyday living as it unfolds"

“Human Presence” is the new project of Christian Duka and joins an osteopath, a choreographer and amazing dancers and another sound designer, creating live moments that explore the many facets of sound living and interacting with the performers and space. Christian Duka’s sound blends generative music with high frequencies and noise in a balanced but visceral way. His last projects: “Nexus”, “The Office” and “Noise Culture” explore elements of body, mind, sensations, experience design, time and information and other factors of human presence that are being altered in the 21st century hyperconnected world.

BUGGE WESSELTOFT: THE DIRECT CONNECTION YOU HAVE WITH THE AUDIENCE, IT’S ALWAYS BEEN AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU CAN DO AS A MUSICIAN

Bugge Wesseltoft is a jazz musician who's already played quite a few times in Romania be it in Bucharest's Control, Gârâna in Semenic or Smida in the amazingly Carpathian Apuseni Mountains. Other than making a dull list of names of musicians with who he's collaborated with and correlate things unnecessary you should just listen to his music, which to our view here at Inertia Movement is a continuous research of dynamics, an equilibrium between sensibility and soundscapes, trust and improvisation with the people who's playing out there on stage. He has very friendly wiseness in approach in an enabling facet always looking for the challenge of improvisation. Bugge's concerts really take further the early spirit of jazz which more than technical and technology or versatility is about the connection with the people having as a background the music and rhythms of the world.

Eyal Talmudi: "Team work is definitely crucial for things to happen"

Eyal Talmudi is a Israeli jazz-fusion musician and producer I met in Berlin in 2016, where I was lucky to join one of the most passionate and effervescent performances of this genre: loads of dancing, bouncing, shouting and singalonging. All this amazing stuff was done with only two musicians on stage. He was there performing with his band Malox at a benefit concert for Syrian immigrants. The stage seemed though too small especially while started to be flooded with the great people there enjoying the gig.

Alaska Snack Time: "We really love to bring friends and colleagues to the studio and play around together"

Interview with the one of Tel Aviv’s most young promising jazz-hip-hop-soul bands, the four-piece Alaska Snack Time. Young men with synths, a guitar, digital and acoustic drums, a saxophone and the help of vocoder on some tunes (yes, indeed they are multi-instrumentists) are audacious explorers of new ways to create soul music for the future.

Andy Inglis: "I’m a 43 year old man. I can buy my own lunch"

Mr. Inglis is a band manager but I’ve figured it out: he’s a professional one-man-show Management team, PR Agency, Booking Agency & friend. That type of music industry folks that are urban legends. Nobody these days has the panache and sincerity for doing everything and dedicating their personal life to an artist's or musician’s success. I knew I had to interview this man, a rare (I thought dead) species of gentlemen.
