About me: |
REEBOSOUND is Sven Missullis. He recorded the albums "demos" (2005 - sold out) and the same titled all by himself.
Interview with BeSonic.com // 12 Questions - Reebosound
The German rock outfit REEBOSOUND starts as a solo-project of Sven Missullis. On the first releases he played all the instruments and involved no other persons. In the meantime he formed a band to play live and we are happy that Sven found the time to answer our 12 Questions. Here we go...
1. Where are you from? How did you get your artist-/band-/project- name?
I live in Hannover, Germany. The Urban Dictionary.com says a REEBO is: "Someone who is totally lame, acting like a tard or is one of those people bullets are made for. see asshat; lamer; rob minervini; ryan culver; "Oh, my, god, Rob you are such a reebo."
That is funny, but to be honest that was not the reason for the name REEBOSOUND. I`ve had MAX REBO, the Keyboarder and Bandleader of the MAX REBO BAND in mind. Most People might know him from the movie RETURN OF THE JEDI. I called Max while i recorded my album and asked him if he could do the synthie and piano parts, but he was much too busy. So i did them on my own. I just added one more E into Rebo, because i like it better, and i thought Reebo didn`t exist before. I wanted to create something special, not just a band name, i wanted to create a whole new kind of sound. The Reebo Sound.
2. How did you get involved into music?
I always liked music and since childhood i was very interested in Musicians, Bands and everything about that. As i was a child, my father took out his guitar sometimes and played some BEATLES Songs and stuff like that. I looked up to him and dreamed about playing guitar like him. I started many years later, at the age of 16 to play guitar. Later i changed to the drums, then i got back to the guitar again and also started singing. On the REEBOSOUND album i used everything i`ve learned in the past years and did everything on my own. I played all instruments and did all Vocals. I wrote all the songs and produced them.
3. What are your influences (e.g. bands, styles, circumstances)? Your personal way of music?
As a teenager i was mostly into punkrock || hardcore. I listened to DEAD KENNEDYS, D.I., 7 SECONDS, DINOSAUR JR., GORILLA BISCUITS, HÜSKER DÜ,.....Bands like that. By the way i just bought the latest OX Magazine and most of the bands are in this issue. Kind of strange to read about a BOLD or GORILLA BISCUITS show in New York a few months ago. Other influences are of course german bands like BLUMEN AM ARSCH DER HÖLLE. I like the MELVINS, DAVID BOWIE, early B-52`s and early NEUROSIS very much. I like electronic music or GODSPEED YOU BLACK EMPEROR, ELASTICA, SUNNO)) or the latest GORILLAZ album...
4. How would you describe your music?
I think it`s sort of what people call indie. How would you describe it?
5. Which is your best way to write songs/music? How can you work most efficiently?
The best way to write a song is not to think about writing a song. It`s maybe the only way i can write songs. Sometimes a melodie or a vocalline comes to my head out of nowhere. Sometimes it happens while i play with my guitar while watching T.V. or something. If it`s possible i record the idea immediatly and work on it later. If i don`t have the possibility to record the idea i hope not to forget it, and record it later. And if i forgot it, it couldn`t have been such a good idea. I belive a good idea comes back to you if you have lost it... Sometimes i don`t record an idea on purpose to see if i can remember it a few days later to find out if it`s worth to work on.
6. How long does it take you to create a song? - e.g. writing an recording?
Depends on the song. Usually the arrangement is finished in a few minutes. Then it takes a little more time to write the lyrics. The vocalline is finished, but the right words are missing. Sometimes it takes a few weeks until i finish the lyrics. But somtimes the music and the vocals come together at the same time. I grab the guitar, start playing and singing, and after a few minutes the song is finished. That`s how songs like "Poor Old Sun" or "Old Friends From Planet Nine" came together, or "Give Up And Die" from the first CD for example.
That "Give Up And Die"-version was intended just not to forget about the idea, but i recorded a whole song. I`ve realized that the next day as i listened to the song. It was played on a broken Framus Guitar fom `63 and recorded with one Microphone only. But i liked the style the song was played and the crappy sound and declared it as the final version, although it was nearly the first time i`ve played the whole song. There are some mistakes in it, but i found that authentic. That kind of songwriting is great, but also a little bit mysterious and it happens just a few times.
By the way, i`ve recorded a Version of "Give Up And Die" for the same titled album. It was with drums and heavy guitar and bass. We played that version a few times on stage at the first shows and i liked it very much, but the studioversion didn`t work out. It sounded crappy and so it was the only outtake.
