Was it strange working with sounds from the other artists? Mehdi: The Art is full of experiences, and I like the idea that I can use others’ experiences. That was fascinating. Did you tend to use more of your own sounds on Nyarlathotep, or did you take this opportunity to work with more sounds from your label-mates? Mehdi: Of course I like to use my sounds and my ideas, but it was a collaboration, so that was a good experience to use layers from other artists. You have recently released your fourth album through Cryo Chamber, Echoes From Outer Silence. This album showcased some of your most experimental work to date. For instance, on “Altered Xone” you start the track with voices coming through a staticy field of sound, and then it shifts into something that could have almost been the intro track for some rock or metal album. Did you make a conscious effort on this album to push the boundaries of your sound further than ever before?
