Phone interview between Gudrun and Rolando Ramos for Radio Futuro into „After Midnight Show“ (Santiago,Chile) 

GUDRUN: This is Gudrun from ¼ahká Múza. Kind regards to you, Rolando, and to all of your listeners. 

ROLANDO: First can you tell us about your adolescence and how you get involved with Music? 

GUDRUN: I grew up in a non-musical family along with two sisters. Besides basic musical education at school, few hours of community singing and some years of piano lessons I´ve never had any special music education. While growing up, music as such (overhere was just “on” new wave) got interested me a lot. But I was not even thinking, that I would ever sing. When I was seventeen, one day came to visit me with my friend one boy (he was 677) that I´ve never seen before and he offered to me a post  of female singer in a new found band. Since I was interested in this offer I came to the rehearsal and ¼ahká Múza got it song – stress. 

ROLANDO: When and how the need to sing become the most important goal in your life? 

GUDRUN: I´ve already mentioned how I got into the band, but the essential necessity of singing and living of a different life style I started to feel only few years later. After all the dissapointment with so-called friends on revelled nights and with still more deepening feelings of loneliness I finally fixed to singing and to friends from our band. Then and now I regard it as the most important desision in my life. Music and things connected to it have changed tendention of an expectant research worker.  

ROLANDO: Right Know what are your more important believes. I mean Love, Religion, Hate,  Spirituality, Pain, Joy, Ancient Myths. 

GUDRUN: All these conceptions come out of the only primary state, which is Love. It is only its darker or brighter states and this is why one really spiritual individual can´t avoid to any of them. 

ROLANDO: What are your favourites Literature. And Why? 

GUDRUN: Really, books play in my life important role. I read, when possible, a lot – from theoretically philosophical works through spiritual and mystic to novels.Considering this scope of stroke it is difficult for me to name my favourite literature, but for all: Tao Te Ting, comprehensive work of Ladislav Klíma, Gustav Meyrink, Lovecraft, then mediaveal mystic writers and theoretical work about the meaning of modern art by Sasan Gablick – Has Modernism Failed? Besides books I love good films, for example films by David Lynch or Space Odyssey 2001, Blade Runner, Last Temptation of Christ and many others. I love paintings of good old surrealists such as Hieronymus Bosch and among the contemporaries mainly H.R.Giger.  

ROLANDO: Do you think sex is a good way to accede knowledge? I mean universal and mystic  Knowledge. 

GUDRUN: When right understood, what in a manner depends on an individual approach, then Sex is the most considerable energy inhabitating human beings al all. The very Sex in the most positive and most magical sense of a word is the most perfect Alter Ego to real Love, that allows to “the chosen ones“ to live through “a short moment of immortality“. 

ROLANDO: Tell me about the lyrics of your Songs. What are the recurrents topics?  

GUDRUN: I think that themes of our lyrics basically result from my previous answers. Their main point is to explore surrounding reality defined by the direct state of our mind. 

ROLANDO: When you are on the stage singing your music, it is you or someone that posses you? 

GUDRUN: Just then, when I ´m on stage and singing, only then it´s really me. It´s a golden opportunity how art present my own personality and when possible, to throw away everything, that limit me in real life. That´s why I like live shows so much. That´s when I really live... 

ROLANDO: Do you love been Posses or you love to posses?  

GUDRUN: I suppose that you react to one of themes on our new photographs. From the first sight they can evoke sado-maso topics, but this is about something deeper. Although I look on most photographs dominantly, it´s just a metaphore. Personally, I hate any attempts to possess me and also I don´t want to possess anybody else. I prefer understanding, tolerance, the balance of energies and an ultimate consequence I prefer Harmony. Of course, I ´m not saying, that people living on such relationships cannot be happy...  

ROLANDO: Tell me about your 3 albums.They are a logic evolution in your music or and spontaneous creations? 

GUDRUN: Although each of them came into existence in some time intervals spontaneously, you can see a logical evolution reflecting itself mostly automatically in corresponding with evolution in minds of creators. 

ROLANDO: What are the meaning for you of the following words? 

GUDRUN: 
War - all around us what we live in all life. The whole life we repel attacks of predators and we try to save our souls. That´s the most real war I know. 
Bondage – something, that I reject from the depth of my soul. 
Gothic – a kind of an inner system of understanding of the world, where has got its place the mystery of life and the secrets of death.  
Music bussines – disgusting sewer of waste that wants to define the value of art 
Blood – my favourite Earl Dracula, I love all this Nosferatu thematics.  
Lips - one of the most sensitive parts of body.  
Life - the biggest mystery of all that I try to solve out.  
Death – an apparent end of something that maybe really starts only after.  

ROLANDO: Tell me about your future plans. Are you working on a new album? How is going to sound? 

GUDRUN: Yes, we work on a new album, which is going to be, according to our present conception, more rhytmical and structured, while still minimalistic. The nature of our sound developes to as perfect fusion of “guitar sound á la ¼ahká Múza” and of my vocal parts, as possible. We´ll hopefully keep it in our hands by the half of year 2000!  

ROLANDO: Have already found your twin Soul?  

GUDRUN: Yes, as maybe one of not many I´ve found my Alter Ego. But I want to point out the fact, that to find such soul is not enough, since the most important effort is to preserve it and to mutually overlap with it – it ´s an every –day fight for it. I personally regard as a certain balanced and optimal state having more such souls around, but that seems to be perhaps a program for future lives. I wish personally to everybody luck to live through such affinity.To me it is one of the most exciting and most magical mysteries of this and other worlds. Thank You for your favour, that you and your radio have shoved to us, and I believe, that we will continue in our talk about life again on the waves of this radio some other time in the future. Good night to Chile and Good morning for Slovakia. 

Bey, Bey.
