Featuring Marc Werner| Interview by Ruud Dreessen aka ebm-industrial.nl Date:27 februari 2009 From: nude
Thanks nude that you have found time to give answers to these questions,
so tell me a bit more about yourself, such as musical?
"We're Drum'n Bass smashers, Electro and Bigbeat, Breakbeat and psycodelic Tunes that remind some people of former Chemical Brothers - this was Nude's release in 2008: BLACK BOX.
We gained a lot of attention, especially during touring the album with a stunning live show, which approximated the incendiary spirit of a rave better than any techno act.
After long, reclusive experimentation and 'fusioneering', turning knobs and sweetspot tweaking behind cold steel doors in a damp clammy cellar vault, the darkened underground 'incubator' of a room, had squeezed out these new and fresh limejuice bombs.
Dropping this new stuff out of a Frankfurter suburb on all the wintercrowds, we're now ready for damaging every single stage thats on the lineup this summer. - your eyes cant look away due tue the shit that our impotent Pop-World has been fabricating for too long allready.
Batten down your hatches industry motherfuckers - YOUR SAVIORS ARE HERE! NOW!!!

Tell one secret about yourself or the band that you have never told to anyone?
we are all hemaphrodites!
how and why did you come about starting nude? what else inspires you to create?
well it seems that energystreams were in the right position and instead of coliding ,they found side to side coexsistance
Ok tell me a few things about.Empusae How did you decide to form this project, give us a more background information
we wanted to make this world a better place and that all human kind shall live in harmony together .. yada yada.. a load of bull... its just music that fucks your brain for a short while and pushes you out into life, out of your box into reality.. it was and is a mindopening experiance for us to make the music, so why shouldnt it be for others listening to it.
Let's talk about your two albums "fakecredibility - moon part 1 - exclusive beatport ep where did the concept come from?
it was about all that credibile fake and fake credibility in the music bussines and politics. and then we asked for some remixes and got an overwhelming response of more than 450 remixes ! So we had do something... ;-)
and whats planned now that your album is finished?
"Black Box" is already finished.
or anything else you're working on? Tell me why this title "black box"? Tell us a few words about the concept of this album?
CD album " fake credibility " was named so just to bounce your heads in the right direction not like most of the commersial crap thats arround. "moon part 1" was a single release as well as "radio fake"
which got lots of airplay. Last album release was "BLACK BOX" check out at www.sabotage-concept.eu . we know that just aswell naming an album "the colorfull world of $" would have been useless to... just keep pressing the intelligens knobs in people will make them listen in the end..
black box was the first album in collab with producers from england, austria and germany forming a band... and its all out of one box one time one feeling...and it's black ;-) There are different uses for that term. One is: The term is important in philosophical contexts, because various philosophers have proposed black box theories for various fields. Probably the most prominent such theory is the so called black box theory of consciousness, which states that the mind is fully understood once the inputs and outputs are well defined, and generally couples this with a radical skepticism regarding the possibility of ever successfully describing the underlying structure, mechanism, and dynamics of the mind.
How is the current promotional tour going for supporting this album?
we have had the most craziest time the last year touring small and massive clubs and events.. we are doing realy good and its getting stranger by the day...the asians are incredible freaks and support us like bloodbrothers.. europe has allways been massive in supporting us anywhoo... and taking over the us isnt far from achievment
Tell me more about remixes by peter rainman?
peter is a very good friend of ours and has been supporting us from day 1. we have even got him to a bunch of remixing for us and a digital release is out aswell called "PT vs. Nude"
and the digital release and (re-viewed mp3.de part I)
We have lots of digital releases...
Your nude cover is very cool and your website Design is very cool tell me about this nude Design?
this idea was born on a long night in berlin. with our grafix guru we blew life into it
What's the history of nude? How did it initially come to be? can you give an introduction nude?
nude came up as a side project of Sabotage Q.C.Q.C.? (at the time with daniel b. of front 242 as a band member) and was reactivated two years ago.
now NUDE is
Isabelle Gernand
Marc Werner
Georgie Weeratunga
Flo Stossberg
Johannes Buchner
and sometimes with DJ Bryan Chambers
What are your views on the current state of this electro scene in Germany.in terms of creativity and audiences? And the scene in other countries?
im happy that you have asked this because i know that we have a load of hard and heavy rock bands come blossom over the last few years and this justifies our status in the musicindustry... all genres can only
coexsist will powerfull pendants in other genres. germany is big and getting louder by the minute france is the bomb and has been anyway for years throu daft punk, sebastian, justice, ed banger rec.. etc. pp. allthe rest are whippin their sceenes to bits right now and pumping in that fluid electronic sound as we speak. so all is good!!!
you have very nice album`and many many more tell me about lyrical compositions what you can tell about the done work? How does your music creation process work? How do you create a song?
first of all the producers in the band are georgie weeratunga, marc werner and johannes buchner , we write and have been following up together to create this sound we are feeling right now. isabelle gernand writes
towards the songs and vice versa .. via internet we can even pop previews thru without having to produce a complete track and then binning it because it wasnt right in the beginning. this is making life easier.
Out of all of your albums,which album would you say is your favorite album? Why?
the upcomming album is a whacker.. and its like a painting.. ask the atist when are you finished.. he will say "its never finished"
tell me more about all your albums?
FAKECREDIBILITY und BLACK BOX are the two albums out right now... but we have tons of unreleased material such as remixes and collabs...two sites thet will def keep yall up to date:
What is currently inspiring your material as an artist? tell me all about the dark scene of Germany?
which dark scene? never heard of it... we are not part of any scene because we are seriosly never seeing daylight these days and allways in the studio .. every now and then we blast out a live show. we are starting it from here... ask them who follow us ;o)
How did you come up with the name of your band,nude? what is the key to making music from nude? and what inspires you to keep growing as a musician?
"nude" not pornografic but more like: devoid of a natural or conventional covering: nude !
the inspiration comes from inside and what you feel whilst producing.we have allways been inspired by artists who are mindlike and forward thinking.
What ideas, movements and personalities would you say were crucial for the definition and development of nude as a creative entity?
a screaming brat of a child throwing up its middle finger at every chance it gets. Christoph Schlingensief !
If there was one thing you want people to know about your band what would that be?
you will not be able to look away, ever again !
Tell us a little bit more about nude What do you do in your spare time?
spare time ??? ...write fucking tunes.
What do you think of its intermingling with the electro, Darkwave and EBM scenes? while electro is your main musical pallet,what other music do you listen to?
this planet inspires!
no scene in mind... love drums... love good music... love life
How long have you been in the music industry and how has it changed over time? Now I have to ask,what's the inspiration for the nude story?.
looong time.. not beeing slaves is one part of freedome the other is keeping yourself open to change outside of you and inside of you. and then.. looots of work!
Please let us know about your upcoming plans,some new releases you like to confirm here

this gives us time to work on our new album till summer.
How and why did you begin to make music? Why various electronic styles? tell us about your unique style of music and who are your major influences? Where do you typically get your inspiration for numbers?
everywhere .. just listen to your environment and you will feel it sooner or later there is nothing you cant do.. just be open to it
