░ █░║│ MORGAN GEIST │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ EAR: How did you get into techno ? │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Morgan: I got into into techno in a backwards sort of way. Instead of heading into │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ it through house, early techno or something dance oriented, I got into it through │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ techno-pop and noisy experimental stuff, even pseudo-industrial chicago records. I │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ had always resisted dance music since I though it was mindless stuff, this was │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ because the dance music I was hearing on the radio in the New Jersey was mindless │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ for the most part. So yeah... I got into things backwards. I heard about the │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Detroit guys after I heard about B12. I heard the influenced before I heard the │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ influences. As far as how I got into composing music... I've always loved music and │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ just listening wasn't enough for me. │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ EAR: You did your first record, Quadrilocular ep on Dan Curtin's label, │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Metamorphic. How did it happen ? │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Morgan: I met Dan Curtin after reading about him in a magazine. I was living in │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Ohio and when I read that he was from Youngstown, I gave him a call. A few months │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ later we hooked up, and I eventually sent him a part of what was to become the │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ "Quadrilocular" record. Dan is still one of my all-time favourite producers. │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ EAR: Like Dan Curtin's music, your tracks are very sophisticated and changing │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ continually... So sophisticated that most of the time I cannot understand how you │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ make your music ! │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Morgan: I don't like to repeat itself too much in one sitting. Basically, I like │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ lots of changes and dramatic shifts, constant adding and substracting. So I try to │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ program things to change often in my tracks. Also, less can be more... │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ EAR: How would you define your sound/musical influences? What do you want or try to │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ express in your music ? │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Morgan: I don't try to define my sound besides telling people what i like listening │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ to. My influences range basically revolve around innovative producers - from │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Severed Heads to DBX to Juan Atkins to ART to modernjazz to Carl Craig to Black Dog │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ to Depeche Mode to Ultramarine to DJ Funk to... I don't try to necessarily express │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ emotions in my music - I just try to make emotionals sounds and grooves that will │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ affect whomever is listening. I've heard my tracks called bleepy and happy, and I'm │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ definitely not very bleepy or happy myself (haha) so I'd be bullshitting if I │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ pretended to be expressing my own emotions through my music. Maybe some day │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ though... if I get good enough... │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ EAR: Why did you feel the need to create your own label ? The future with │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Metamorphic ? │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Morgan: I created Environ for the typical reasons - independence, satisfaction, │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ self-fulfillment. It's a perpetual goal - I want it to improve over time, take │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ different courses but always possess a high quality standard. The future with │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Metamorphic - the immediate future - probably means another ep coming up. │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ EAR: Why did you call your label Environ ? │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Morgan: I called it Environ because I like music to make me to a separate room, a │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ separate place - a separate Environ, if you will. That sounds corny, but it's true. │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Also, since Environ can mean "to encircle" the name takes on some 12" vinyl │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ symbolism. │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ EAR: On the Premise ep (first Environ record), The Connection Machine did a remix. │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ How did you meet them and how did this collaboration happen ? │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Morgan: I met The Connection Machine over the internet. Natasja and Jeroen are │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ really great people over the phone lines, altough I've yet to meet them face to │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ face. I basically asked if they'd be into a remix and they said yes. I loved that │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Planet E record, that was the main reason I asked them to do it. Of course the │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ remix sounds nothing like that Planet E record, but it was still important and I'm │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ glad to have been able to put it out. │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ EAR: Will there be other artists on Environ ? │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Morgan: I hope to have other artists on Environ but I don't want to do that until I │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ can pay them properly. If The Connection Machine weren't so cool, for example, I │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ probably wouldn't have even asked them to do a remix. However, they're pretty │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ understanding about the label just starting up and not having a big wad of money. │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ EAR: You also made two tracks for Digital Sets 2 project on Matrix. Will there be │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ other collaboration with Matrix in the future ? │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Morgan: I met Sean Deason basically by sending him a tape. I have no idea if I 'll │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ do a Matrix 12"... I was going to but I really want to focus on Environ... of │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ course, a Matrix ep is not out of the question. I still have the ep for Metamorphic │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ to do.s │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ EAR: What is techno music about ? One record that says it all ? │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Morgan: Techno music is about... No one record says it all... the obvious answer. │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ EAR: What are your projects ? │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Morgan: Upcoming projects: Find a decent day job or make enough good music to │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ eliminate the for a day job (yeah right !), do the next Metamorphic record, do the │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ next Environ record, and try to learn this fucking S2800 sampler that I just │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ bought. Those are some short-term projects. │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ EAR: Personnal discography ? │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Morgan: My discography is fully covered here - "Quadrilocular", the "Premise" one │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ on Environ, and those tracks with Matrix. Also my mysterious Ghee project from a │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ few years back, wich was made up of only Indian music samples... it's true. │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ EAR: This question is up to you. │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Morgan: This question is up to me ? OK... What non-keyboard piece of equipement │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ would you like right now ? │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ │║░█ ░
░ █░║│ Answer: a nice, fat Mackie mixer. Someone please send one to me. │║░█ ░
