Read the ModulAr Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
My name is Francesco Carone A.k.a ModulAr, I'm 29 YO and I'm an "Autodidact" producer now based in Berlin. Born in the south of Italy where I spent 16 years, then I leave my little lovely place for job reason landing in Tuscany for a short period. Then I moved to Rimini subsequently to Dublin for 3 years then in Italy for a short period(producing), now in Berlin. WoW!!!!
Since when I was young I have been contaminated with a synth in my first approach with Depeche Mode sound.In this period I was a Welder and I was surrounded not only by Depeche Mode accompanying me in the car while I was going to work , also I have been accompanied with metal noise and rumors produced by workers in steel industry where I worked. I was listening. Coming home from work every day, the echoes from rumors and noise made by workers and by me during my working hours, these were constantly in my mind. I have never paid to much attention how to deal with that noise. Later, Thinking about this noise and listening to different music while travelling going from club to club during this years , I discovered "similar" sound in some techno tracks in which I was a bit far from producing those since I had no knowledge how to deal with producing softwares. I I thought I could make in order where the chaos sound was , approaching software in which later I discovered that a chaos is a kind of order.
I come up with a different creation.Proud of that, later,I release two experimental EP with LSR Life sentence record Label. I wanted to create unique rhythm trying to replicate and introducing new experimental rhythm and sound in my tracks following no path.
Now I would say that "I like to listen to any genre of sounds, especially singular sounds and vibrations. Once Im tuned in , I try to figure out what feelings can bring to me , then , I try to translate it into a musical experience."
Here my SC ?
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
Well, sometimes I found too much repetitive stuff, and I do not like when things get repetitive I get bored especially when discovering that the creativity is no creativity anymore. Sometimes the demand of the crowd is different, and, I tend to isolate myself because I want to make my own sound and not to replicate what has been made feeding the same feelings.
My sound later has been modified,during these years of contamination from different artists, I have been inspired to add something that is different out there. I do not know if ADD is the correct word. My music now is much more chilled and creative. I do not follow patterns and I like to be creative as much as I can. Taste is personal , and has to be translated in what I call sound experience. I'm much more minimalistic now. I'm much more focus about the clarity of the sound.I like when I'm able to suspend myself ,and ,yourself grabbing your attention, at some point confuse you , and later I help you set-free your feelings.
My taste changes constantly because I like the Music in general no matter if is Jazz, classical, or Techno. I think is hard for me to taste only one thing and do not run the risk to discover different taste in music. I think is a pity to do not try a different taste of music and improving it.
What´s new right now?
In winter is the best time for to dedicate myself to produce new rhythm and sound,most of them I published on my Instagram account just for let the people taste what I'm tasting right now.It's relaxing for me to add every day a bit of creativity that everyone could judge. Plus I'm working at my new Ep and it will be avail before April. Stay Tuned.
