Q&A Anastasiya Ty PODCAST 070

Can you describe the emotional or energetic landscape that your music lives in?

My music lives in motion, like riding a horse full-speed through fog on a deserted beach. Hard beats carry emotion, with vocals like headlights cutting through the dark.

It pulses like a restless heartbeat, never settling, always seeking. And it lives in the tension between hope and melancholy, like the last light before dusk.

How do you prepare for a set emotionally or spiritually? Is it a ritual for you or a wild surrender

Funny that you ask, i do a sage/palo cleanse before i leave my house/hotel, to be ready to embrace new energy when i enter into the venue.

I leave everything behind the door and fully surrender to the music, in the time of the set, independently where and for who i play for, i do not exist anywhere else but there in that moment in the notes of the tracks and the people around me.

When you’re playing a set, what are you most connected to, the crowd, the music, your own flow? Or is it something beyond all of that?

When i’m playing, i am fully immersed in the music, but i keep notice of the crowd. Each of my sets speaks a different language, be it to take u on a wild sentimental trip or to just make you feel good and let you forget about everything before that particular moment, even if just for a moment.

If music had never entered your life, what do you think you’d be doing instead?

I’m an Artist of many forms since i remember myself, i studied arts, i became a portrait photographer and i would probably continue on that path if music didnt enter my life in full power 3 and a half years ago.

I always felt a very strong pull towards music, was just too afraid to express myself with it, as it felt very personal.

But since i stepped behind the decks and fell in love with mixing, i realised there are people who understand what i try to express with the music i play, and that, the connection, the flow, the loose bodies on the dance floor enjoying my sets, that makes me feel understood and heard in ways i have never felt before. So im very happy to say that music feels like home to me.

  What part of your soul speaks the loudest when you play music?

All of it, the way i express myself with music, very often is my current state of mind & soul.

Is there a track or sound that changed the way you understood music forever?

Music that has a soul, melodies that make you feel things, thats where i found home. Not just techno, generally, i listen to things that evoke some type of emotions out of me, it makes me feel alive, it makes me feel.

If your music could speak one sentence to the world, what would it say?

"Speed is my prayer, emotion is my weapon."
