This time round, let’s welcome, from Barranqueras, Argentina, our present winner:
She has music in her life as a companion of fine moments, as a option to wrestle by means of more durable instances, or simply as a personal door to reminiscences, emotions, and reflections shielded from getting misplaced in time.
⭐⭐⭐
Taking about lacking reminiscences, and emotions. What is Verschollen about?
“Verschollen” is the German phrase for getting misplaced or lacking, and the lyrics level actually to getting misplaced within the metropolis. But it is also a metaphor for moments of non-public doubts and contradictions, which reappear in a number of methods within the music: A summer time evening in July (which for us is deep winter), a date in a preppy café that became a relaxed chat in a modest little bar, a second of sharing that deep down denounces loneliness.
An actual-life scenario, nothing that particular, one would say. But generally quite common conditions additionally bear a contact of surrealism, of uncooked poetry, when you select to select it up.
And frankly talking, I believe I should have had a type of “what am I doing with my life?”-flashes once I wrote Verschollen!
I’ve seen your songs are sung in numerous languages. How do you resolve which one to make use of?
Mostly there’s already a thought, an concept, or an expression that spooks round in a melody or chord development that I’m enjoying with, and this concept is already fastened to a language. So, mainly, it’s the topic of that concept that guidelines over the language.
For instance, in Nuit Blanche, which was a collaboration, the title was already given by the writer of the instrumental (Snaptoon, he’s French), and it was an exquisite idea to put in writing about – so there was going to be French lyrics, in fact.
On the opposite hand, I’m bilingual in Spanish and German, however my social context is totally Spanish-speaking. So, German has develop into for me a form of “private language”, the one I take advantage of for extra private ideas. It’s usually the shortcut to phrases, after they don’t come simple in Spanish, although I can not delineate clearly how these two languages are compartmentalized. There’s an underlying sample based on the themes I take advantage of, and it has additionally shifted in time.

Do you play a number of devices too?
No, I simply play the guitar, and never very nicely. I like individuals who invested time and fidelity in studying to play a number of devices and finding out the idea. In reality, it was through the first months of the pandemic that I bought again to the guitar and to make music once more. I suppose, it occurred to many people – it threw us out of the routine and made us query and evaluate the priorities we set and the way we spend our time.
It appears such as you’re having enjoyable creating your songs. Do you want collaborating with different artists?
Absolutely, it is one of many issues I take pleasure in probably the most. There’s at all times a lot to be taught from different artists, and it at all times opens up new views in music. But greater than that, collaborations additionally enrich you from many different factors of view, because it turns into a distinct type of human communication.
It definitely reveals in how eclectic your music is. Do you prefer to experiment with different genres too?
I lack numerous abilities for a lot of genres that I like to take heed to, however sure, I attempt to experiment as a lot as I can. In that regard, the time period “eclectic” can be a sublime method of claiming: there’s nonetheless a lot to find, and I’m nonetheless studying. Actually, I like the concept of by no means dropping the flexibility to be stunned by the numerous paths music can take.
