Mason Vera Paine and Inamar Interview Transcription



Announcer – 0:00: Mason Vera Paine.



Mason Paine – 0:02: Swiss DJ and producer Inamar joins me to speak about her career and her latest project, Dolce Vita. Thanks for joining me, Inamar.



Inamar – 0:09: Hey, Mason, I'm thrilled about this interview opportunity. Thank you so much for having me.



Mason Paine – 0:14: So tell me, Inamar, how long have you been a DJ?



Inamar – 0:17: I've been a DJ for three years.



Mason Paine – 0:19: That's amazing that you've been djing for three years already. You know, I'm curious, who are some of your musical influences and what drew you to them?



Inamar – 0:27: I've been inspired by various artists like Nora and pure, pretty, pink and Miss Monique. Their ability to showcase their creations to the audience and feel the vibes directly on the stage is truly inspiring.



Mason Paine – 0:41: You know, I read somewhere that you also play instruments. Is this true?



Inamar – 0:44: Yes, I play the piano and the guitar.



Mason– 0:46: Now do you ever incorporate the piano or guitar into your music?



Inamar – 0:50: Well, my creative process always starts at my piano. Jamming around generates many ideas, melodies and even songwriting.



Mason Paine – 0:58: From what I read, you're also a producer. What inspired you to gravitate towards that? Or was this more of a natural progression as a DJ?



Inamar – 1:06: It was actually the other way around. Seven years ago, I started producing. I was in Ibiza, standing at Ushuaya, and suddenly it hit me like a lightning bolt. I knew I wanted to make music. I flew back home, downloaded logic prex and thought myself everything through YouTube videos and books. I think it was then a natural progression that at some point I wanted to showcase my music to an audience. That's when I started DJing and realized it's also a huge passion of mine.



Mason Paine – 1:37: I love hearing how people end up becoming DJs and everything about you was self taught. It was just a natural progression into being a musician. And you just knew that, bam, this is where I want to be. So tell me about your latest track, Dolce Vita.



Inamar – 1:52: Well, my new track, Dolce Vita, was created in my music studio in Lugano. Lugano is located in the italian part of Switzerland. The view of palm trees and Lugano's mountains. Sansa vaturatore inspired me to write Dolce Vita. I had this melody in my head and translated it onto my piano to craft the song's lyrics. I really wanted to produce a song that reflects my love for the italian way of life. So I poured all my good wipes into it. With this song, I aimed to emphasize the joys of life, such as good food, good company and beautiful surroundings.



Song – 2:30: Dolce Vita By: Inamar



Mason Paine – 5:27: Now I know you released Dolce Vita on Sirup. How did this partnership come about?

Mason Vera Paine and Browncoat Transcription



0:00-Mason Paine: Brown coat has been in the music industry for over 26 years. Find out how he stays motivated and the impact he has made in India developing the EDM scene there. Thanks for joining me. Browncoat.



0:13-Browncoat: Hi there, Mason. Thank you so much for having me. I've been really looking forward to this conversation. Really happy to be here.



0:18-Mason Paine: You've been creating music for 26 years. What first drew you into EDM?



0:24-Browncoat: While I wouldn't necessarily call my music EDM, I try and make more deep house, melodic techno and house and slightly more underground than conventional EDM. And it's been 26 years, but it's still a struggle in India because India has such a deep and rich musical culture that it's very difficult for anything which is non-indian to cut through. And that's probably the main reason where I wanted to showcase more of the international and electronic music because that's not what you get in still date. There's not a single radio channel or tv show or anything which can be considered mainstream that showcases international music. And that's the best part about it. You're running against the tide and showcasing music that people are not used to. That was the biggest draw for me.



1:12-Mason Paine: So you've been going against the grain for many years. But when you first started in the scene, what genre did you spin?



1:19-Browncoat: In the beginning, it was just a fight and struggle with the venues to allow us to play international, be it top 40, hip hop, r and b, or even basic pop. It was just that difficult because everybody just wanted you to play what's being broadcasted everywhere, the typical hindi film music or the punjabi music. And at that time, we would just be happy to play top 40s because that was the struggle for us.



1:42-Mason Paine: Wow. So you had a history of just fighting to be able to play certain songs in the style that you wanted to. But as of today now, what's the particular genre that you spin nowadays I.



1:55-Browncoat: Play a lot of melodic techno, indie dance, deep house, progressive. That's also because I produce a lot of these genres and it gets an amazing response from the floor. It's really progressing beautifully and I love where the music is right now.



2:08-Mason Paine: What is the EDM music scene like in India?



2:11-Browncoat: The electronic scene in India is amazing. The crowd that turns up for our events is just beautiful. The response that you get from the audience is incomparable because I've traveled and played around the world and I still prefer playing to an Indian audience because they really give you their all when they're dancing, the screaming, the shouting, the smiling. And even though it might not be the mainstream genre in India,]]> Mason Vera Paine, the Unabridged Millennial full false 14:53 https://masonverapaine.com/ramsesboomboominterview/ Thu, 08 Feb 2024 21:05:51 +0000 https://masonverapaine.com/?p=7954 Source

Mason Paine and Wannes Salome: Transcription



0:00 - Announcer: Mason Vera Paine.



0:01 - Mason Paine: Wannes Salomé and Erik Buschmann formed the group Ramsesboomboom. Wannes joins me to speak about how the group was formed and what are some things we can expect from them. Thanks for joining me, Wannes.



0:14 - Wannes Salome: Hey, Mason. Really happy to be here, and, thanks for having me on.



0:17 - Mason Paine: So, Wannes, tell me, how did you guys form Ramsesboomboom?



0:21 - Wannes Salome: Yes. So Ramsesboomboom is a duo project of me and Erik. Erik and I have known each other, like, for all of our professional music career. We went to school together. He studied drums, and I studied music production. And we basically clicked right away at school. So we played in bands together. And after our studies, We actually played in a band called Clangstaff, which is a indie rock band.



0:48 - Wannes Salome: And we toured all over America and Europe and played a lot of festivals. And during that time, when we got tired of doing indie music, we got together and started to write some electronic music Because we were both really into electronic music as well, like John Hopkins, James Blake, like a lot of alternative electronic music. So we just started to write electronic track. After a while, we had a collection of them and we thought we should release this, do something with it.



1:16 - Mason Paine: You know, inquiring minds have to know, Ramsesboomboom. Now that's a pretty unique name. Can you give me the background on what it means?



1:25 - Wannes Salome: Definitely, it's an interesting name. Ramses was actually the name of our very first demo. Like, the very first electronic track we we created was initially called Ramses. Then we decided to call our project Ramses, and we called that track I feel nothing, which is the 1st, track we released with this project. So actually, the 1st track we ever wrote is also the 1st track, we released, which is very funny. But then after a while, we decided to add the Boom, Boom to it because it just It's a little bit of playfulness, and it's also gives the whole name a little bit more of a unique vibe, a more of a interesting vibe, which is why We went with Ramsesboomboom.



2:04 - Mason Paine: You know, prior to forming Ramsesboomboom, did either of you have any other musical background?



2:10 - Wannes Salome: Yeah. So we we studied together on the Conservatoire of Rotterdam in the Netherlands, and we both studied at the pop academy. Yeah. I think We're both just really we have really broad interests. So we've done a lot of music. We've done a pop and jazz and tried out some classical music influences. Yeah. And as, as producers, we work with different artists with different backgrounds as well.



2:37 - Wannes Salome: So I don't know. We're we're just very much in love with music and creating and experimenting, actually. I think experimenting is a big theme for us in our music, musical career and in this project as well.

Announcer - 0:00: Mason Paine.



Mason Paine - 0:01: Alfredo Mazzilli is a techno DJ and producer that goes by the name AMKA. AMKA joins me to speak about his career and how in such a short time, he's been making waves in the scene. Thanks for joining me, AMKA.



AMKA - 0:12: Thank you for having me on.



Mason Paine - 0:14: Mason, tell me, how long have you been a DJ and how'd you pick up your name?



AMKA - 0:18: Yeah, well, I started DJ when I was 14, and the story behind my DJ name is, is that everyone was calling me AMKA because it's my gamer tag. I'm a big fan of video games, so, yeah, I kept AMKA as my artist's name. That's it.



Mason Paine - 0:37: Nice. I actually like video games too. Was that your inspiration or was there something else that inspired you into the music industry?



AMKA - 0:45: I grew up surrounded by music. My uncle was a DJ as well and he had the DJ console at my parents’ home. So, one day I decided to try and since then everything started.



Mason Paine - 0:58: That's cool. You have a solid foundation and there are multiple genres. When it comes to EDM, what drew you to techno specifically?



AMKA - 1:07: Well, that's a great question. Honestly, I decided to choose techno because it's able to convey different emotion to people. The groove and the melodies are able to transport the listener whatever he wants at the moment of listening. That's why I have chosen techno.



Mason Paine - 1:21: Do you think you bring anything unique to techno?



AMKA - 1:24: I don't know, probably melodies or atmospheres, because it's what my fans love more about my music.



Mason Paine - 1:30: Your new track, vivid memories. I got to know, was there any inspiration behind it?



AMKA - 1:35: The concept behind the track was to create a memorable experience. Whether you're listening to it at a club or a festival, it aims to capture the essence of the moment, making it unforgettable for you and your friends around you.



Mason Paine - 6:14: It's sham you. Is there any other artists in particular that you look up to or you get inspired by that? Just really helps you push your own music along?



AMKA - 7:40: I'm not going to say a specific name, to be honest, because the world is full of incredible artists who keep inspiring me and other people every day. We just have to be thankful to all of them for their music and to keep inspiring us.

Mason Paine and PepperJvck Transcription



Announcer 00:00: Mason Vera Paine.



Mason Paine 00:01: Jack Sheldy is a DJ and producer based out of San Diego, California, that goes by the name of Pepper Jack. Let's find out why he has caught the attention of many industry professionals and fans alike since his 2022 debut. Thanks for joining me, Pepper Jack.



PepperJvck 00:15: Thanks for having me on, Mason.



Mason Paine 00:17: You know, I read that you were classically trained. At what age did you start your training?



PepperJvck 00:22: So, I actually started learning classical music around the age of ten. I started playing the piano from a next-door neighbor that I had actually, and then I transitioned that into being a cellist. And I was the first chair in our orchestra in junior high and high school for a while. And I ended up playing the cello for about eight years. Learned a lot of sheet music, how to read music, how to play in a quartet, how to play in an orchestra. I was in a symphony for a while. So, yeah, it's been a lot of different classical training before I got into electronic music later on in my life.



Mason Paine 00:56: That's an impressive resume. How did you go from classically trained to gravitating towards dance music?



PepperJvck  1:02: Yeah, so that's a great question, actually, because I've had a really diverse background in music. I started in symphonies and quartets and orchestras and that sort of thing, and then I actually got into rock music after that. So I was in a garage band, in my friend's garage. We would get together after school. We went to the same high school and just jam out. I was on the guitar. We had a keyboardist, we had a singer. We play anything from blues to jazz to rock music, and that was a lot of fun.



PepperJvck 1:30: So I think that transition for me, from the orchestra setting into a rock band and then finally into electronic music, was just kind of natural for me because I was going from an instrument that wasn't that high tech, it wasn't amplified at all to something that was amplified, and I could create distortion on the amp I had with my guitar. And then eventually buying software and getting even more high tech by getting into house music and electronic music production. So for me, I think it was just that transition of getting more and more electronic, more and more amplified, and exploring all the capabilities I had at my disposal, especially. I felt like it was pretty unique having that classical background and just knowing what I know about music theory, chord progressions, minor skills, major skills, all of that knowledge I had, because I feel like a lot of people in Ableton kind of get into it from the dj side, like they dj venues and that sort of thing. And they get into it from a social aspect, and then they buy Ableton and get into production. But for me, it was really about using and channeling the skills I had with symphony aspects, with knowing my skills, my chord progressions and music theory, and coming into electronic music from that background. So I felt like that was kind of unique for my skill set and something that I always wanted to pursue.

[00:00:15]  The Indiigo Child: Good afternoon, Mason. How are you doing?



[00:00:17] Mason Paine: I'm doing pretty good, man. Thanks for coming on. I appreciate you taking time out from your day for doing this. I want to start out with, like, what what got you into being a DJ?



[00:00:27]  The Indiigo Child: Let me clarify all the DJs out there because there's some amazing DJs. That's what they do. I'm more so I kind of DJ my own music. It's kind of a cheat code. But yeah, obviously in electronic music, we DJ our own music and stuff like that. But, yeah, I've been into it since, like, the 90s. Some of the classes that came out during that time that inspired me, I really got into it. Gigi diagosinois to yours. Are you familiar with that song?



[00:01:02] Mason Paine: No, I'm not.



[00:01:03]  The Indiigo Child: Yeah, they actually feature that song in a movie called Uncut Gems for Adam Sandler. It's at the very end. It's the last track that plays in the credits. That was like my first dance song. That was like, oh, I liked it. I think I want to make this. You should definitely check it out. I'm sure you're familiar with song already. And then stardust dad punk. So all those artists as I was growing up in the was like, oh, that was like inspiration for me to really get into dance music and gabba a little bit in DJing. I had to get more into it later on in life because obviously, dance music, you got to be able to play everything. You got to learn how to do all the technical stuff. But, yeah, I try to think of myself more than just DJ.



[00:01:55]  Mason Paine: Yeah, that's interesting too, because I read that you worked with a lot of hip hop and rap artists. How did that come about?



[00:02:01] The Indiigo Child: I started my life in Jersey City, Newark, New Jersey, and those areas in the tristate area. And surprisingly, when I was coming up, obviously, New York, New Jersey, tristate is very hip hop oriented. That's the biggest culture out there. And I was very fortunate. I grew up in a place called Summit Plaza in Jersey City, and one of my neighbors was AKON, and they lived in my plaza, so they were a lot older than me. But I got a chance to go to their studio and see some of AKON producers. And I got to meet AKON probably twice. I was around those folks and a lot of rappers. So that's how I got into hip hop. That was my first start into producing, making tracks. I started posting videos online of me making hip hop tracks. I was really inspired by a lot of the producers that were making tracks online.]]> Mason Vera Paine, the Unabridged Millennial full false 22:58 https://masonverapaine.com/rwybarrowfell/ Sun, 27 Nov 2022 22:58:12 +0000 https://masonverapaine.com/?p=7489 Source

Joining me to speak about this latest release and what fans of the series can expect from this game is way forward. Game Director James Montagna. Thanks for joining me James.



James Montagna: Oh, it's my pleasure.



Mason Paine: So how long have you been in the video game industry?



James Montagna: I started at way for maybe about like 15 or 16 years ago and I was just out of college actually way forward. Brought me on as an intern and I was working here just helping out wherever I could. I still remember my first day, I showed up and I was just helping . Build furniture . I was helping, put together chairs and desks, for people. I even put together my own chair and desks that I was working on as an intern. And that was, that was my start and they had me helping out on some games on, even on day one, besides that. But yeah, that's how I got started. I was going to college and I was self taught, teaching myself game design, taking some courses on game design. Eventually the school hooked me up with that internship and then they decided to hire me and I've been at wayforward ever since.



Mason Paine: Wow. That's amazing that you went from intern to game director. Did that surprise you at all? Do you ever look back and say, whoa, this is my life?



James Montagna: It's a little bit surreal when I think back sometimes, but I was so driven to make games one way or the other that. It's not too surprising. I always knew that one way or the other, I would, wanna be making games. So here I am. Today we're releasing games and I've been able to help direct, so many titles and it's been great and it's, been a long road and, gradually worked my way through it. You know, I actually. Started out as an animator because when I was in college, I was going to school for animation. And so, when Way Forward first brought me on board formally from being an intern. That was my title for a while. And so I was doing animations for various different games and at one point I expressed the desire to get into more of a design role, and that's when I started doing level design, which eventually led to me becoming a director.



Mason Paine: Now as a gaming director, what exactly do you do? Because when you hear director, you think of movies. So I, but I imagine you can't tell people in the middle of, you know, coding cut. That's not it.

But you know, I would say, I would say it was, art school and I was a, stupid kid that thought I could make a. Could make money being an artist, . And, my roommate was going to school, trying to be a, 3D animator and he decided to slum it in video games for a while.



Jared Gerritzen: He's still in video games right now, and I saw him play. he had me come to his office and he showed me this game called Counterstrike, and it was like a mod. And seeing people play together online was just this thing that. It was so amazing to me. And I remember going home and, having him show me how to make 3D models and I started using 3D to, for my graphic design stuff.



Jared Gerritzen: And then I just got good at it. And, he said, You should get into games. I could try to get you a job at the place. And I still remember saying, I don't want to be an artist though. I want to be the guy that says what game we make he is like, Good luck, man. You have to really put work in and you have to do all this stuff. And, I still got a job and it took me, you know, 20 some odd years to be the guy that's saying what you're doing. But I got to it so long, long, long road for sure. But, yeah, it's been an amazing road.



Mason Paine: I gotta know for you, What game was it that you're like, this is, this is like peak career, right?



Jared Gerritzen: Honestly it's Ghostbusters. I think that, you know, this was, a lot of my games that I've made that I was in this position, were a matter of like, Hey, someone's looking for X, Y, or Z, or, Hey, we have this thing. Let's do something with it. Predator was a game that we atonic decided to make, and so was Ghostbusters. But Predator was definitely one of those things where there was a lot of, lot of people that were saying what we can and can't do. Ghostbusters was the very first game that we set out to make, and we decided to self publish. So by us self-publishing, we're like the ones that shows everything. You know, we chose what, what we could do, what the budget was, where it would land, and all of that stuff. And we worked really closely with Ghost Core, but when we came in the game that we wanted to make, Is the game that we made. And, it's, definitely Ghostbusters. It's definitely one of those things where, you know, I saw the film when I was, a young kid in the movie theater. And I, and I, you know, that librarian seemed scared the crap outta me for years.
