from STUNT ROCK #2 "Foot Noise" (special issue about foot fetishism)





Would you consider 'fetishism' in general as something creative and visionary?

- First thing that comes to mind is more a cliché'd image, and plenty of people seem to use it to hide a lack of creativity or fit in to a "weird" club. On the other hand some people have genuine obsessions and obsession is often linked to creativity. To be fixated on one tiny aspect oF something which must be just so for it to have its effect, thats' pretty special I think. Jean Luc Hennig "Obsessions" collects a lot of chapters on such types, more on the margins of society than the usual goths. It features a guy who can only get excited by pregnant prostitutes (the nearer they are to giving birth the better), a guy who is obsessed by hair to the point where he invents words to describe and catalogue all the details and forms, a guy who pays a butcher to butcher him, etc etc.

Do you think there is a lack of sensuality/sexiness in experimental music?

- Nothing I would complain about. I quite like the cold dark grim frostbitten medical horror. Seems a bit stupid to deliberately try to put it there anyway, a bit like putting politics in music. I think some noise musicians would describe what they do as anti sex. Me I just don't think the question makes any sense.

Can Noise music be sexy?

- To be honest I find it limiting to expect sound to be this or that, happy or sad. Maybe if it provokes some new emotions that don't exist otherwise, that's more interesting.

Did you ever get aroused by looking at someone's naked feet? If yes, why?

- Not naked ones, no.

Have you ever felt a sort of physical excitation while listening to music or looking at art?

- Yes, many times, occasionally ending up in hospital.

Do you believe in objects with super-natural power?

- Yes. Well, it's all 'natural', but yes. Some circuits do.
Are experimental musicians more experimental in sex?

- No idea, never slept with one. Might be kinda lame...

What is the first thing you look at on a woman/man?

- Dried vomit on shirt.
