In one sentence, who or what is Terrorball?
What
motivated the Cold War themes found on (latest album) How I Learned To Stop
Worrying?
I managed to catch the end of the Cold
War as a kid so I've always been fascinated by that period. I'm interested in
the paranoia of the time and the propaganda pumped out by both sides.
Your
music has a strong retro feel, who or what are its biggest influences?
My main influences are stuff like
older Daft Punk, Justice, and Yasutaka Nakata, who produces music for the group
Perfume. Also Jeff Wayne's War Of The Worlds album has always been a favourite.
You've
got nine albums up for grabs as name-your-price downloads on Bandcamp, are
there any plans for a physical CD or vinyl release in the future?
No, though I would love to release
something on vinyl.
Does
Terrorball operate in a live capacity at all? If not, are there any plans afoot
to expand the scope of your work?
Not at the moment but I've been
collaborating with someone on some stuff, and hopefully we'll be doing some
live shows in the near future, under the name Lobot.
What
is the one instrument/piece of equipment or production tool you can't live
without?
Ableton Live.
What
is the best piece of music-related advice you've ever been given?
Learn to listen.
When
the nuclear holocaust hits, what three desert island discs will you take to the
bunker?
Daft Punk - Alive 2007, The Beatles -
White Album, and Jeff Wayne's War Of The Worlds.
Name
one local/NZ artist the world needs to know about?
Kadington.
Complete
this sentence: the best thing about living in Hamilton is ...
... the smell.
