Mursego, cave sounds Arkaitz Villar
I Irene Mariscal (ezlekuak) Maite Arroitajauregi has often worked with Anari, Lisabö, Napoka Iria, Kokein, Gora Japon and Ibon R.G. on various projects. After selling all the copies of the first disk, Mursego (which means "bat" in Portuguese) is putting together the second one. We've seen you working on many shared projects up to now, how do you get on working by yourself?
Mursego is different, they're songs I've written and I don't have to wait for anybody else to create or rehearse them. Until now, I'd always working with other people's compositions, and now it's with my own ones.
There are also lyrics by Laboa and a PJ Harvey version on your disk.
I look on doing versions as an exercise, an exercise before composing, and a very agreeable one, what's more. I also play Kraftwerk's "The Model" live.
And, with that, you change the vision we had had until now with your cello.
Normally, the way of writing and singing are different, I've broken away from the classical tendency and, using pedals, I make use of various loops and create songs on top of them.
Basque, English, Russian...
Languages aren't an aesthetic decision, but they are an aesthetic option. It is an aesthetic offer, we do offer something after creating songs.
Bats come out at night.
And they see the world the other way around. Sometimes you understand the world better if you look at it from another point of view. BAP sang this "I'm fine, you're the opposite".
There's cinema there too.
Lots of people have told me there's a cinematographic sound to it, but that's happened unconsciously. Live, I use the lyrics of the film "The Man without a Past" and, recently, an adaptation of the song Marilyn Monroe sings in "River of No Return".
"Bat.1" is the disk's title, is "2.0" going to be the next one?
It's just the name in English and the disk's number. The second one will be Bat.2, and I want to bring it out on vinyl. I've sold all the copies of the first disk and I'm working on the second. I don't use social networks a lot, but myspace has helped me to get to a lot of places.
