Introduce you Discrete Encounter a threepiece rock electronica bands from New York City, here’s an interview with Taras, Natasha and Stas as written by Natasha
How are you now?
We’re doing pretty well, thank you! At the moment we’re preoccupied with all the preparations for the upcoming release of our new album that is due in January 2008. Last touches to the mix, mastering, cover work, etc. And of course, plenty of holiday parties!
Tell us more about your upcoming CDs?
The album is called “2B1″. It is somewhat different from previous DE’s recordings, especially in terms of sound. For the first time we have guitar as a leading instrument and so there’s a constant dialog between lead vocal and guitar solos.
The main outline connecting all songs is that of integration. It’s about never-ending struggle “To be me, to be you, to be one” (2B1), to find your own path, even though “All roads lead to Rome” (Distant Star).
Some songs were inspired by human relationships, especially difficulty connecting and a great sadness associated with the lack of understanding – “I came to the door, it wasn’t me“ (Pleasure and Pain). While others speak in a more philosophical, metaphorical language.
Would you mind share us, about how the electronic music scene goes in NYC?
Mostly we are familiar with the techno scene, particularly minimal techno that is a part of an underground scene in NY. There are many promoters in the city, and from time to time we get to meet very talented DJs and producers from all over the world. Though not yet mainstream, these parties do attract decent crowds of people.
