DISILLUSIVE PLAY INTERVIEW
Hello guys, thank you for your time
- Who are Disillusive Play?! How did you guys come together and what do you consider as the key factors to your music that makes it unique?
Hello! Thank you very much for the invitation! We are Antigoni Kalamara (vocals), Jim Knikos (lead guitar), Fotis Trivizas (guitar), Michalis Mytilinis (bass) and Aris Dolianitis (drums).
The initial idea for the creation of the band existed since 2008, when I (Antigoni) met Jim, the heart of the “Disillusive Play” band. Actually, he saw me singing in a conservatory event video that was uploaded in youtube, he found me through facebook and from the moment that I heard “Open Arms” for the first time, I was sure that this collaboration would last for a long time! After some years Aris, Fotis and more recently Michalis joined the team through our social network.
Concerning our music, we believe that what makes it unique is the combination of several kinds of music and moreover, the fact that although many modern bands choose to follow a plan in the way that they write their songs, we don’t have one. We prefer to write the songs without an initial plan or a concept.
2. How much time do you think that it takes for a group of musicians to play together in order to manage having an identity in their music? It’s something that can come up through work or it just happens?
Generally, the identity in the music depends a bit on both work and human chemistry, but we feel that the latter is more important than time in this matter. Because in real life, everything starts from the characters of the band members. It is difficult when you try to work with people that you don’t match with, and on the other side, it is extremely productive, when you cooperate with people with which you can have a nice and easy communication.
3. What are your main musical inspirations that gave shape to the music of “Open Arms”?
Of course each one of us has its own influences and we believe that this is something that is quite interesting for the ensemble, however, if we have to mention influences of the “Disillusive Play” sound that would be bands like Queensryche, Conception, Marillion, King Crimson, Pendragon, also more modern bands such as Halestorm, Stone Sour, Avenged Sevenfold and many, many others.
4. What is your lyrical concept so far?
Lyrically, the album is more about the anxiety of an unsafe future and how the doings of any generation, influence the next one.
5. Recently you’ve been the support act for Gus G. in Athens!! Tell us a few things about this experience!
It was a great honor for us to share the stage with such a great musician!! It was a really exciting experience and a memorable night! The club was more than full and the audience was very active!
6. Is there a band or an artist that you would like to be the support act?
We would like to cooperate with all the bands that are close to our music, so that we can share the audience with them. For example, we would like to play with bands such as Firewind, Need and Poem from Greece and many-many others from abroad, the list is endless! If we have to mention some of them, they would be the Stone Sour, Ghost, Queensryche and Riverside!
7. What are your future plans? Is there a second album in the making?
Currently, we are working on the material of our 2nd album. In parallel, we would like to arrange several live performances both in Greece and abroad and why not, a tour in abroad!
8. Are there any plans for a live appearance abroad?
Up to now, we have not something scheduled, but we will try to arrange something soon!
9. Where do you see Disillusive play in 5 years from now?
We wish we could have 3 completed albums and the strong support of the audience in all of our performances!
10. Would you like to share something with your fans?
We would like to share a chorus:
“Lose the time, lose the place
Life is just a warm embrace.
Clean your thoughts, now is the time
Waiting good days is a crime.“
Our 2nd album will be released in the summer of 2020, stay tuned!!!
Thanks again for the invitation!
