Why did you choose this name for this musical project?
The name is a reference to the unheard in the world. It is the base of the project.
All lyrics are about those in the world who are lost, killed, chased from their homes, abused and neglected...
Members & their role: Kevin Van Voclem (also member of WE ARE OOH PEOPLE) doing : voice, lyrics, analogue synths, computer,...
What’s the most important instrument you use in your music and why?
I use 3 analogue synths. I’ve been using analogue synths since forever. Long time ago I made extreme noise/industrial by the name of ‘Kevueq’. I used to have the label Cling Film-records (with Laura Maes). The analogue synth is pure, raw and retro. I just love it. Can be used to do soundscapes, harsh noise, eighties bass lines. In my tracks I try to do all sounds with the analogue synths and no soft synths.
Why did you start making music?
I’ve been making music forever. Starting with Fasttracker on computer centuries ago. I don’t think it’s something I will stop doing. Especially the used of analogue synth never bores.
Who are your inspirators / musical heroes?
As a 16 year old I was a huge fan of the Cure (who wasn’t) but liked the more dark albums like Pornography and Faith. Now I only listen to obscure 80’s vibe wave bands on Soundcloud. More know artists are : Linea Aspera, Minuit Machine, Kontravoid, Carriegoss, Led er est, Boy Harsher….
Wherefrom do you take get your inspiration to write music?
Of course I’m influenced by the bands I listen to. But mainly I just turn on my synths and start making a bass line and start from there.
Which (musical) achievement are you most proud of?
With Bruges being cultural city of Europe in 2002 we (Cling Film records) put 4 huge train wagons in a square formation and filled all 4 of them with a huge PA system. People were meant to sit in the middle. We asked tons of experimental bands to make a quadrophonic piece to be played for a month and making the train wagons rumble with sounds, bass & noise. With my other band WE ARE OOH PEOPE we played the support act of Hante !
What is your most recent release and/or what are you working on right now?My latest single is ‘Walk In Line’, about being discarded, and being told what to do. I don’t wait to release a full album. I release all track that I finish. Therefor I have 10 singles online. My new idea has a more soft 80’s vibe but knowing me I will make it harder and danceable :)
Who would you like to collaborate with?
Pommelies Thijs, and bring hard EBM music mainstream :)
What can we expect from you on the Dark Demo(n)s 2025 event?
All my tracks are rather hard EBM and danceable. Huge beats and processed vocals ! So put on your dance shoes!
