What are the actual steps that you take when you are creating? Do you need to enter or go to a certain setting in order to get creative?
Oh, no. Ideas don’t wait for your mood or favorite creative set up. Sometimes they come to me when I’m on the street, or when I’m making love, or when I protest, or when I just smoke a cigarette out on the balcony… I try not to write them down on the spot, but rather to keep’em in mind and play them on repeat there until I go to rehearsal and show them to the boys…
What do you consider your greatest achievement? What is your greatest fear?
I haven’t achieved it yet. Being too old to achieve it.
Baltimore’s War On Women were born screaming—at the world, at the status quo, in the face of oppression. The band’s forthcoming album Capture The Flag calcifies that rage, and no one in its wake is safe. Much more than a collection of songs or sonic experiment, Capture The Flag is a call to action that cannot be ignored – listen to the album in full via Noisey.
What is the main art form that influenced you in creating? Was it only music or did movies and other forms of art influenced your creative process?
Actually it was both: movies and music. The thing is that my main inspiration comes from movie soundtracks, so the music that I loved and listened the most was the one I heard in films. That is why my two main musical influences are Yann Tiersen and Ludovico Einaudi. I first heard their music in movies.
What do you consider your greatest achievement?
That I’ve survived this long!

Mogwai will be performing live at ARTmania Festival 2018 in Sibiu, Romania, festival which will take place between the 27th and 28th of July.
What is your main motivation to create and be creative?
Being able to share ideas and emotions not easily conveyed through words or visuals is the reason I create. There are strange surfaces to explore, and Off Land is the vessel I share to experience these aural realms.
