Interview withJohn Maus (musician, singer, songwriter, composer, and philosopher)
JOHN MAUS is what you can call a cult artist. He has a PhD in political science, a degree obtained at the University of Hawaii. He was born in 1980, so he is now 37 years old. He hails from a small town in Minnesota, and started his musical career in Los Angeles, thanks to his important encounter with ARIEL PINK. Since then, he has released four albums, ‘Songs’ in 2006, ‘Love is Real’ in 2007, ‘We must become the pitiless censors of ourselves’ in 2011 and ‘Screen Memories’ in 2017, a few months ago.

Interview withFlorian Grey
“Harder and groovier”: FLORIAN GREY is in Wide Noise Studio at the moment, producing his new album. Nevertheless, he took the time to answer a few questions about the upcoming acoustic tour, his influences and some other interesting things from the life of a musician.
Reflections Of Darkness [RoD]: You have already played acoustic shows many times. When and how did you come up with the idea for your own acoustic tour?
Florian: I try to play some acoustic concerts every winter, so far this was part of the “Rock Meets Silence” series. I already had the idea on the “Banished & Gone” tour and since I'm not part of the “Rock Meets Silence” concerts this year, my own tour was the next best thing.

Interview withAdrian Hates (music, composing & vocals) from Diary of Dreams
Eden is no place. Eden is a machine – so it says in the beginning of the liner notes to the 13th album by Diary of Dreams. If you thought you could grasp the lyrical contents of “hell in Eden” with a quick glance, these words prove differently and offer a first taste of the actual scope. Musically, “hell in Eden” is as energetic and monumental as no other Diary album has ever been before, but at the same time, it is also warm, dark and fragile. It touches you from the very first note and builds up a fantasy world in your head, tempting you to lose yourself completely in its magic.
