Interview withStephen Kennedy (music, lyrics) from Papillon de Nuit
Some creative journeys are born from a sense of urgency, others from years of meticulous work behind the scenes. For Stephen, the mind behind PAPILLON DE NUIT, it’s a blend of both. After two decades of working with bands as a manager, promoter, and tour manager, he finally turned the spotlight on his own creativity, crafting music that blends Gothic, Classical, Opera, and poetry into something both delicate and profound. Driven by an awareness of time’s fleeting nature, Stephen channels his life experiences, poetic sensibilities, and love of sound into a project that is as much about the present as it is about permanence. PAPILLON DE NUIT - “born in the night, released into the day” - is more than a musical project; it’s an evocative exploration of art, emotion, and the inevitable passage of time. Now, as he prepares to release a song every month and dreams of bringing his music to life in atmospheric settings, we dive into the inspirations, challenges, and creative philosophy behind PAPILLON DE NUIT.

Interview with Emilie Verbieze (vocals, music) from Riotmiloo
Emilie Verbieze, the creative force behind RIOTMILOO, is a visionary artist whose work pushes the boundaries of industrial and experimental music. From her “Riot Grrrl Punk” roots with VENOM SEEDS to the haunting, atmospheric landscapes of RIOTMILOO, Emilie’s evolution as a musician is both inspiring and thought-provoking. With her latest album, ‘Blackout’, delving into themes of mental health and societal stigma, and her captivating live performances, Emilie continues to leave an indelible mark on the scene. I had the opportunity to speak with Emilie about her artistic journey, the inspirations behind her powerful lyrics, and the duality of fragility and strength that defines her work.
