SOPHIE HUNGER Let’s talk about your upcoming record, Halluzinationen. How do you find that the title works to encompass all of the songs? What themes did you explore on this record? “Halluzinationen” are what we see, hear, taste or feel which does not exist outside our minds. It’s an essential tool for creating music. It is an ambivalent power. On the one hand it creates a parallel world in which we can live and exist under conditions we desire but at the same time it can lead into isolation because it is not a collective experience. This is the second record that you have worked alongside Dan Carey. How did this collaborative relationship come to fruition? What is it that you enjoy about working with Carey? It’s a kind of deep friendship that expresses itself through music What did the process of building this record look like for you? Would you mind elaborating on the “Full Risk” that you have commented on in regards to how you recorded it? After having written the songs, we decided to record the album live as one continuous take, in opposition to the way we did the last album “Molecules” where we spent a lot of time processing sounds and really building the album as if it were architecture. This time we wanted it to be one breath, everyone playing at once, no overdubs, one movement.
