Interview:

All music created by people receives a part of their soul. Music is not only a way of expressing our feelings, but also a strong weapon, and powerful tool to have an influence on people. Music can be in the form of different styles that cause several different emotions. However, there is also something in music than has the ability to influence the hearts of people. The overall soul of music could be considered as the combination of souls from it’s founders. Sometimes it is even possible to listen to very angry and aggressive music, and yet still not feel the penetration of lyrics that can carry light. We also have the ability to feel something spiritual during our live concerts. We have seen so many times that music has had an incredible influence on people. I believe this is because music represents more than just a set of notes. There is a spiritual component to music that creates a sensation of being alive. In itself the music can not carry an ideology as it is impossible to impose these perceptions on people. Music carries what is in the heart of it’s creator. It seems that each musician should maintain responsibility for the messages carried in their music, as the soul of music influences the lives of people.
