FIRN ne fait pas exception \u00e0 la r\u00e8gle puisque sa premi\u00e8re production est d&rsquo;une teneur enivrante. Le pagan black folk prodigu\u00e9 par Horda transpire la sinc\u00e9rit\u00e9 , la passion et une philosophie de vie hors du temps. C&rsquo;est donc l&rsquo;occasion au travers de cette entrevue de d\u00e9couvrir son univers&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1- Comment a \u00e9t\u00e9 re\u00e7u \u00ab\u00a0Frostw\u00e4rts\u00a0\u00bb et comment avez-vous v\u00e9cu les d\u00e9buts discographiques de FIRN ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00ab\u00a0Frostw\u00e4rts\u00a0\u00bb a \u00e9t\u00e9 enregistr\u00e9 dans un studio \u00e0 domicile . Il \u00e9tait pr\u00e9vu depuis longtemps de d\u00e9marrer un projet solo en dehors de mon projet principal Waldtraene et du deuxi\u00e8me projet Odroerir. Les restrictions Corona m&rsquo;ont permises finalement de rendre possible me projets car cela m&rsquo;a d\u00e9gag\u00e9 du temps .<br>Produire un album est toujours une exp\u00e9rience particuli\u00e8re. Vous semblez repousser vos limites, pour vous rendre compte qu&rsquo;il n&rsquo;y en a pas et qu&rsquo;il y a encore beaucoup de place \u00e0 l&rsquo;am\u00e9lioration. C&rsquo;est aussi une maturation et une purification spirituelle alors que le processus s&rsquo;engage avec votre moi le plus profond. C&rsquo;\u00e9tait la m\u00eame chose avec les d\u00e9buts du FIRN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2- Tu commences l&rsquo;album avec le titre le plus long, ce qui est de plus en plus rare. Est-ce une fa\u00e7on de pr\u00e9senter l&rsquo;ambiance g\u00e9n\u00e9rale ? Qu&rsquo;est-ce que cela signifie par rapport aux autres pistes du disque ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La chanson \u00ab\u00a0Frostw\u00e4rts\u00a0\u00bb est la meilleure ouverture possible de l&rsquo;album car elle plonge l&rsquo;auditeur dans l&rsquo;hiver. FIRN est un mot allemand qui d\u00e9crit la neige qui est l\u00e0 depuis plus d&rsquo;un an. L&rsquo;hiver joue toujours un grand r\u00f4le dnas FIRN. Et donc \u00ab\u00a0Frostw\u00e4rts\u00a0\u00bb, qui signifie quelque chose comme \u00ab\u00a0vers Frost\u00a0\u00bb, est une excellente introduction \u00e0 l&rsquo;ensemble du concept FIRN et en m\u00eame temps le titre d&rsquo;album appropri\u00e9 pour le d\u00e9but.<br>C&rsquo;est une co\u00efncidence si c&rsquo;est aussi la chanson la plus longue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3- Il y a beaucoup de rythmes et d&rsquo;ambiances diff\u00e9rents. Est-ce votre philosophie de varier votre son pour \u00e9viter que tout soit lin\u00e9aire ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00c7a vient comme \u00e7a vient. Je ne planifie pas les chansons \u00e0 l&rsquo;avance, elles arrivent juste. Bien s\u00fbr tu essaies d&rsquo;\u00e9viter les chansons qui se ressemblent trop, mais rien de vraiment planifier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4- Aucune reprise sur votre album. Aimez-vous cet exercice ou pas?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Les reprises me donnent souvent l&rsquo;impression qu&rsquo;elles sont utilis\u00e9es comme bouche-trous. Ceci est bien s\u00fbr une affirmation tr\u00e8s g\u00e9n\u00e9rale et n&rsquo;est pas toujours vraie, mais je suis d&rsquo;avis que l&rsquo;accent de l&rsquo;artiste doit toujours \u00eatre ses propres mots et sa propre composition afin de se pr\u00e9senter. De nos jours, les reprises sont souvent utilis\u00e9es pour g\u00e9n\u00e9rer de l&rsquo;argent rapidement via des services de streaming et des clics sur YouTube et les r\u00e9seaux sociaux. Je veux pr\u00e9senter mon propre art, pas nager dans le sillage des autres. C&rsquo;est pourquoi je n&rsquo;ai pas fait de reprises depuis mes d\u00e9buts. Mais\u2026 Je n&rsquo;exclus pas de publier une reprise tant qu&rsquo;elle correspond au concept de la \u00ab\u00a0grande image\u00a0\u00bb. Je suis partag\u00e9 sur le sujet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5- Tout est chant\u00e9 dans la langue de Goethe. Pourquoi cette langue et pas l&rsquo;anglais qui est universel ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tout simplement parce que c&rsquo;est la langue de Goethe \ud83d\ude09 Non, personnellement, je trouve toujours mieux que les groupes travaillent dans leur langue maternelle. \u00c0 mon avis, vous ne pouvez jamais transmettre des textes aussi authentiquement avec des langues \u00e9trang\u00e8res que vous le pourriez avec votre propre langue. Et je pense que la musique se niche autour du chant. Donc la musique serait aussi diff\u00e9rente si j&rsquo;\u00e9crivais les paroles en anglais. De plus, les dialectes respectifs d\u00e9tournent de l&rsquo;essentiel \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6- Tu es le seul compositeur du FIRN pourtant j&rsquo;ai vu que tu faisais des concerts. Comment vous organisez-vous pour assurer le \u00ab live \u00bb ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">J&rsquo;ai mont\u00e9 un groupe. Je connaissais d\u00e9j\u00e0 certains musiciens, d&rsquo;autres m&rsquo;\u00e9taient \u00e9trangers. C&rsquo;est et reste un projet solo et tous les membres sont des musiciens invit\u00e9s. Chacun r\u00e9p\u00e8te principalement personellement \u00e0 la maison et seules quelques rencontres directes sont pr\u00e9vues et possibles. Je dois pouvoir compter sur tout le monde pour que tout fonctionne. Nous sommes tous des musiciens exp\u00e9riment\u00e9s et cela fonctionnera. \u00c7a doit marcher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>7- Quels sont plus pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment les th\u00e8mes que tu abordes dans tes chansons ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En r\u00e9sum\u00e9, avec FIRN, je raconte le devenir et la disparition, le cycle \u00e9ternel de la nature. L&rsquo;hiver est personnifi\u00e9 dans l&rsquo;univers FIRN comme, disons, une sorte de divinit\u00e9. Il incarne la mort et cr\u00e9e ainsi la possibilit\u00e9 pour la nature de pouvoir se renouveler, car une nouvelle vie ne surgit que de la mort. C&rsquo;est le th\u00e8me g\u00e9n\u00e9ral qui domine tout le reste. De plus, il y a ma propre philosophie de vie de l&rsquo;animisme. L&rsquo;\u00e2me universelle de la nature. FIRN traite de sujets tr\u00e8s spirituels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>8- Musicalement, quelles sont tes influences pour FIRN ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cela varie beaucoup. Je pense que l&rsquo;album \u00ab\u00a0Frostw\u00e4rts\u00a0\u00bb est principalement dans le Pagan Black Metal classique, du d\u00e9but au milieu des ann\u00e9es 2000. Des groupes comme Moonsorrow, Menhir et Thyrfing ont d\u00e9finitivement jou\u00e9 leur r\u00f4le. Le prochain album est bas\u00e9 sur diff\u00e9rentes inspirations mais sera 100% FIRN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>9- Au niveau de votre musique, quelles ambiances souhaitez-vous distiller ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Un froid agr\u00e9able, enveloppant avec un petit air de conte de f\u00e9es.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>10- Quelle est la relation avec le reste de la sc\u00e8ne pagan metal en Allemagne et au-del\u00e0 ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">J&rsquo;ai beaucoup de contacts et beaucoup de bons coll\u00e8gues, surtout dans le milieu pa\u00efen de la vieille \u00e9cole. Cependant, je ne peux pas m&rsquo;identifier \u00e0 beaucoup de jeunes groupes et musiciens de ce genre. Mentalement et musicalement non plus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>11- Des projets dans le futur, en parall\u00e8le ou pour le FIRN ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oui beaucoup. Un nouvel album de FIRN est presque termin\u00e9 et devrait sortir d&rsquo;ici la fin de 2023. Je travaille \u00e9galement actuellement sur un projet parall\u00e8le appel\u00e9 Hordas:Folk:Music et est bas\u00e9 sur un style Nordic Ambient\/Folk. Cela ne sera disponible que via Bandcamp et les services de streaming. Et puis bien s\u00fbr il y a mon projet Dark Pagan Folk que je fais avec ma femme. Une production d&rsquo;album est \u00e9galement pr\u00e9vue ici. Odroerir, cependant, est en sommeil pour le moment. Mais comme vous pouvez le voir, j&rsquo;ai assez \u00e0 faire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>12- Trouver son cd n&rsquo;est pas facile. Vous ne souhaitez pas \u00eatre soutenu par un label \u00e0 l&rsquo;avenir pour mieux diffuser votre musique ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00ab\u00a0Frostw\u00e4rts\u00a0\u00bb a \u00e9t\u00e9 publi\u00e9 par Einheit Produktionen en coop\u00e9ration avec Schattenpfade. Cependant, nous avons mutuellement d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de ne pas signer de contrat de label fixe entre nous. Voyons ce que l&rsquo;avenir nous r\u00e9serve.<br>Plus probl\u00e9matique est le fait que Bandcamp vient de supprimer mon compte pour la 4\u00e8me fois et je ne sais pas pourquoi. Le support ne me r\u00e9pond pas. Aucune id\u00e9e. Ainsi, les cds de FIRN, les patches et les futures marchandises ne sont disponibles que sur commande par courrier \u00e0 FIRN.horda@gmx.de<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>13- L&rsquo;interview touche \u00e0 sa fin, merci pour votre temps et vos r\u00e9ponses : un dernier mot ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Merci \u00e0 toi. Suivez FIRN sur Facebook, Instagram, YouTube et toutes ces plateformes de streaming comme Spotify etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">English version <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"50\" height=\"31\" class=\"wp-image-1011\" style=\"width: 50px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kaosguards.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/union-jack.png\" alt=\"union jack\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1- How was \u00ab\u00a0Frostw\u00e4rts\u00a0\u00bb received and how did you experience FIRN&rsquo;s discographic debut?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00ab\u00a0Frostw\u00e4rts\u00a0\u00bb was recorded in the in-house studio. It had been planned for a long time to start a solo project apart from my main project Waldtraene and the second project Odroerir. The corona restrictions finally made it possible for me in terms of time.<br>Producing an album is always a special experience. You seem to push yourself to your limits, only to realize that there are none and that there is still a lot of room for improvement. It is also a spiritual maturing and cleansing as the process engages with your deepest self. It was the same with the FIRN debut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2- You start the album with the longest title, which is increasingly rare. Is it a way to present the general atmosphere? What does it mean in relation to the other tracks on the record?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The song \u00ab\u00a0Frostw\u00e4rts\u00a0\u00bb is the best opener for the album as it pulls the listener deep into winter. FIRN is a German word that describes snow that has been there for more than a year. Winter always plays a big role at FIRN. And so \u00ab\u00a0Frostw\u00e4rts\u00a0\u00bb, which means something like \u00ab\u00a0towards Frost\u00a0\u00bb, is a great introduction to the entire FIRN concept and at the same time the appropriate album title for the debut.<br>It is coincidental that it is also the longest song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3- There are a lot of different rhythms and atmospheres. Is it your philosophy to vary your sound to avoid everything being linear?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It comes as it comes. I don&rsquo;t plan songs in advance, they just happen. Of course you try to avoid songs that are too similar, but I don&rsquo;t influence that very much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4- No covers on your album. Do you like this exercise or not?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Covers often give me the impression that they are used as gap fillers. This is of course a very general statement and is not always true, but I am of the opinion that the focus of the artist should always be his own words and his own composition in order to present himself. Nowadays, covers are often used to generate quick money via streaming services and clicks on YouTube and social media. I want to present my own art, not swim in the wake of others. That&rsquo;s why I didn&rsquo;t put a cover on my debut. But\u2026 I don&rsquo;t rule out releasing a cover as long as it fits the concept of the \u00ab\u00a0big picture\u00a0\u00bb. I&rsquo;m torn on the subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5- Everything is sung in the language of Goethe. Why this language and not English which is universal?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just because it is the language of Goethe \ud83d\ude09 No, I personally always find it better when bands work in their mother tongue. In my opinion, you can never convey texts as authentically with foreign languages \u200b\u200bas you could with your own language. And I think the music nestles around the vocals. So the music would also be different if I were to write the lyrics in English. In addition, the respective dialects distract from the essential \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6- You are the only composer in FIRN however I saw that you were doing concerts. How do you organize yourself to ensure \u00ab\u00a0live\u00a0\u00bb?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I put a band together. I already knew some musicians, others were strangers to me. It is and remains a solo project and all members are guest musicians. Everyone rehearses mainly for themselves at home and only a few direct meetings are planned and possible. I have to be able to rely on everyone to make it all work. We are all experienced musicians and it will work. It must work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>7- What are more precisely the themes that you approach in your songs?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In summary, with FIRN I tell about becoming and passing away, the eternal cycle of nature. Winter is personified in the FIRN universe as, say, some kind of deity. He embodies dying and thus creates the possibility for nature to be able to renew itself, because new life only arises from death. This is the overarching theme that stands above everything else. In addition, there is my own life philosophy of animism. The universal soul of nature. FIRN deals with very spiritual topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>8- Musically, what are your influences for FIRN?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That varies a lot. I think the \u00ab\u00a0Frostw\u00e4rts\u00a0\u00bb album is mainly in the classic Pagan Black Metal, early to mid 2000s. Bands like Moonsorrow, Menhir and Thyrfing definitely played their part. The upcoming album is based on different inspirations but will be 100% FIRN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>9- In terms of your music, what atmospheres do you want to distill?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pleasant, embracing and enveloping cold with a slightly fairytale flair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>10- How is the relationship with the rest of the pagan metal scene in Germany and beyond?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have a lot of contacts and a lot of good colleagues, especially in the old school pagan area. However, I can&rsquo;t relate to many younger bands and musicians of this genre. Mentally and musically not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>11- Any projects in the future, parallel or for FIRN?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes a lot. A new FIRN album is almost finished and is expected to be released by the end of 2023. I am also currently working on a side project called Hordas:Folk:Music and is based in Nordic Ambient\/Nordic Folk. This will only be available through Bandcamp and the streaming services. And then of course there is my Dark Pagan Folk project which I do together with my wife. An album production is also planned here. Odroerir, however, has been shut down for the time being. But as you can see, I have enough to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>12- Finding your cd is not easy. Don&rsquo;t you wish to be supported by a label in the future to spread your music better?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00ab\u00a0Frostw\u00e4rts\u00a0\u00bb was released by Einheit Produktionen in cooperation with Schattenpfade. However, we mutually decided not to sign a fixed label contract with each other. Let&rsquo;s see what the future brings.<br>More problematic is the fact that Bandcamp has just deleted my account for the 4th time and I have no idea why. The support doesn&rsquo;t answer me. No idea. So FIRN CDs, patches and future merch are only available on order by mail to FIRN.horda@gmx.de<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>13- The interview is coming to an end, thank you for your time and your answers: any last words?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to you. Follow FIRN on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and all those streaming platforms like Spotify etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Un projet solo est toujours un peu particulier, mais force est de constater qu&rsquo;il m\u00e8ne souvent \u00e0 des albums de grande qualit\u00e9.
