Minzo Shiroma upsets Jakob Nybo-that’s one FUCK of an ego!!! No whacking off in th mirror yu self-delusional fuck! It will all end in tears!!!

>welcome Jakob!
>lets begin with th Noise itself...its very dire, traumatic and
>perverse! some is a matter of interpretation but yur recent work is
>so direct and overt in its odium and malice there's no debate in its
>intentions! i am very interested in how yu formulate yur songs, what >inspires yu <yur "audio hellscapes" are terribly visual affairs>?

I am inspired by many many things, i have always had a great love/fetish for the dark and more bizare aspects of Art, Music, Sex, Cinema and life in general..For me Hentai is a place where i let all my dark fantasies play out and explore new audio worlds, it´s a " Playground of Death and Perversion" for me where i let all my inner hatred, angst, love, and fetish come to life, like a psychotic " Jack in the Box " filled with brand new toys for the kids :-).The term Audio Hellscapes, is a word i find very fitting for my sound universe, because i always want to try to find new ways to bring my listeners into new audio nightmares and torture their senses with sound collages they never imagined could be made.....

>and how deliberate is th formation of tracks? as in, is it simply
>exposing and applying a content/instinct or do yu have 2 work hard 2
>achieve an ideal artificially? like walking 2 a destination when yu
>know th way or wandering 2 it it with only vague direction - do yu
>find these audio hellscapes "naturally" or do yu skillfully navigate
>yur way 2 them?

I mostly work on instinct and sudden ideas, I really never know where i want to go when i start a recording session, that´s also exactly what i love about making music, that i never know where my ideas, samples, noises and rythmic pulses will take me. I also think my music becomes more original, pure and much more hardcore / dark because i work on sudden ideas / instinct which makes the track almost create itself along the way, it gets a life of it´s own, even I never really know where " hentai " goes once he´s unchained and caughts the smell of blood in the air, I just let " Him " rampage and hunt for sounds inside the audio equipment, then sees what he has killed and dragged back for me in the end, which is the track i put on the disc :-) Sometimes i have a vague idea on what i want, but mostly i just act on instinct and impulses,,,but i am a perfectionist and knows exactly what i want the track to sound like once i have found all my samples, noises, loops etc....

Things has been different on the new Hentai Toy Factory CD though, on this i wanted to create a soundtrack for what i thought the inside of a haunted and hellish Toy Factory would sound like from a childs point of view. I wanted to make a CD of childish / naive death-electronic lullabys. I had some dreams about being caught inside a maze of corridors while big toys and ragdolls where hunting me, a great nightmare that scared the shit out of me in the dream,,,i really really love my nightmares, it´s the best inspiration source of all, i always feel so happy and creative when i have had a truely sick and disturbing dream..no movies, music or art can beat the truely deranged images and sounds you see / hear in your worst nightmares, on this release i imagined that i took my minidisc recorder with me inside the toy factory nightmare and recorded the sounds i heard from inside the dream and when i woke up i had a disc full of hellish unnatural tracks recorded from the nightmare " sort of like when Nancy brings back freddy´s old Hat from her dream in Nightmare on Elm Street 1 " :-) I just loved this idea, and wanted to play with it for my Toy Factory CD.....

>do yu take any influence from other music/noise? my perception is
>that Hentai is a real maverick and yu have confirmed that yu rely on
>personal activity 4 inspiration! do yu listen 2 Noise or Industrial?
>what about Noisecore, Breakcore, Speedcore, Grind and beyond? also
>how do yu feel about th condition of th scene and th state of music
>being released in yur related fields <Noise, DI, DA>???

both yes and no, i actually dont listen to that much music these days, but when i listen to music it´s mostly new avantgarde melancholic / downtempo jazz music, minimalistic neo-classical music and 60 / 70´s Fusion..i am a very big collector of the german art-jazz label ECM, i have a hugh collection of their CD´s and my favorite jazz / improvisation artists enclude : Tomasz Stanko, Arild Andersen, Jan Garbarek, David Darling, Marylin Crispell, Miroslav Vitous, John Taylor, Peter Erskine, Paul Motion, Jack Dejohnette, John Mclaughlin, Steve Kuhn, Harold Budd, John Surman, Keith Jarret, Evan Parker, Minami Hiroshi, Terje Rypdal, Charles Lloyd, and of course Miles Davis...

i actually dont care much for noise, industriel and dark ambient in general, i mostly find these genres very boring and it is rare that i find some artists that i think have something unique to offer, i have never really been influenced by these genres, but i do have some artists that has meant alot to me over the years, some of them are : Lab Report, Jeff Greinke, Mick Harris ( Scorn, The Weakner, Quoit ), Ambush, Murder Corporation, Brighter Death Now, MZ.412, Merzbow, Authecre, Steve Roach, Richard Bone, Robert Rich, Vangelis, Brian Eno, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Lustmord, John Carpenter, Fabio Frizzi ( The Beyond, Zombi 2, City of the living Dead ), Tobe Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre ) Angelo Badalamenti ( David Lynch ) Krzystof Komeda ( Roman Polanski ) etc...
I dont really give a fuck about the electronic / noise scene in general, i am not interested in being an active part of the scene, besides doing my own things,,,,people can fuck around with whatever they want, i dont really care,,, but i am always 100% loyal and professional with the artists / labels i work and create with...i just want to make my music, and in the future use Vital to release cool stuff with hentai and fellow artists that i enjoy myself...thats my part in this scene...no more, no less....

>is yur noise a shallow substitute for real life murder and
>violence???


hey minzo, i think this question is lame, and meaningless,,,since you are a fan you should know better than that...bring me another 1...

before a reply could be contrived th following e-mail was delivered after I expressed super curtious discontent at th recent Toy Factory CD!

it seems your feelings towards my music has change after i scorned your label and its releases,,,you seem to be in a mean spirit, and you are totally wrong about my new material, it´s some of my best work yet,i have recieved amazing feedback on the toy factory from everybody else,,,,and i really dont think other releases than the negatron are in your taste....you have changed your opinion about my work entirely,,and i think you are behaving in a very childish manner to let personal issues cloud your judgment....normally i accept critisism with a smile, but with you i sense a personal thing......hentai / vital will have no more to do with you and your label / magazin.....i dont want to spend my sparetime on doing this interview, when you seem to have lost the spark for my new work....sorry, but i have more important things to do...

jakob / hentai

tried 2 patch things up but Mr Nybo was distraught, hysterically upset & suicidal at my polite snub of his recent chunk of shit & no reply was ever received! Balless geeks in Noise/PE/Indutrial really need emotional minders but what 2 expect from Noise? Th most ostentacious genre of all attracting mostly deadbeats who want a short cut to extremity without having 2 posess th dexterity & skill of mastering a REAL instrument
