The name of the project that you are interested in is called Cloud Choir which consists of myself Michael Cupoli(Noise Arcade) and Richard Doran(DMH).
1. where are you from?
The project has been based in Beijing, China for years. I am from the USA and have been living in China for about 12 years now. Richard lived in China for 16 years but has since returned to his home country of Ireland. Since Richard left, we only record and do shows when he returns to Beijing, which is roughly once every six months.

sometimes all you need is a noisy guitar. cause it's beautiful and authentic. and also because there's less guys that can play it as it should be done than you think. it's why you'll love <<Greg White>>. it seems simply but it goes directly to your stomach and then you know that you'll close yourself in your bedroom with his records for a long time. don't forget to pass it to your friends.
0. name of the band
My name is Greg White, and this is my solo music.
1. where are you from?
I'm from Montreal, QC, and have also lived in Rochester, NY.
2. what kind of instruments/equipment you use? do you use some particular record technique? which is your method of composition?
I'm a big fan of Fender equipment. I normally use a Fender Telecaster and Fender Precision Bass, and occasionally a Squier Strat. My amp is a Fender Frontman that was given to me from a friend a few years ago. I also have a Yamaha acoustic guitar. In terms of recording, I use Reaper on my computer and run a Shure SM57 or an MXL condenser mic into an audio interface. It's not a very high-budget setup, but it suits my needs. Composition really depends on the song, but it generally involves me messing around with some sort of chord progression or melody, or from playing around with different effects and seeing what kind of sounds I can make. I also draw a lot of inspiration from my environment.
3. what do you think about the music context nowadays and how you place yourself in? do you feel a part of any scene?
The modern "context" of music is really incredible because of all the access to music, both in terms of listening to it and in terms of creating it. So many great musicians are able to distribute music super easily, and I think that's a really great thing. As of right now, I wouldn't necessarily say that I'm part of a "scene," although I guess I could be lumped into the whole "DIY basement" kind of thing. I feel comfortable there!
4. do you think that nowadays has still sense talking about "underground"?
Even today I think that underground music is still happening, and that it's a very strong community. Like I said earlier, I think that the widespread access to music is definitely beneficial not only in bringing music from the underground to the surface, but also in expanding the underground to an even larger, more deeply connected community. Does that make sense?
5. do you play live? how public react to your music?
I haven't played any of my stuff live yet. I can't wait!
6. Genesis P-Orridge said "Our records were documents of attitudes and experiences and observations by us and other determinedly individual outsiders. Fashion was an enemy, style irrelevant.". What do your records represent to you?
My records are a way of trying to express myself in a medium that I enjoy. They're a way of looking back and thinking, "wow, I can remember the situations I was in around the time that was recorded." Records hold memories. And, most of all, they're a way of having a lot of fun.

Sounds from underground/File N°048
we're still in summer noise mood so we're looking for something crazy but maybe also a bit melancholic. something like Pavement. it's not exactly similar but I feel the spirit,probably because of the vocal that I love when has this nihilistic tune. project is called <<Mr Holiday>> and it's a great sound of Australia.
0. name of the band
Mr Holiday
1. where are you from?
Melbourne, Australia
2. what kind of instruments/equipment you use? do you use some particular record technique? which is your method of composition?
We mostly use guitars, drums, drum machines, and keyboards and run through two mixers and crappy microphones to get a lofi sound. Our composition method is pretty simple, starting with a group jam and from there creating a loose structure.
3. what do you think about the music context nowadays and how you place yourself in? do you feel a part of any scene?
We don't really fit into a particular scene or style because we cover a bunch of styles and genres. We have 3 albums out plus stacks of tapes at home which cover acoustic, lofi electronic, noise, hip hop, punk, and rock. With that being said when we play live we usually play with the same group of bands.
4. do you think that nowadays has still sense talking about "underground"?
More and more people are learning how to make music in their bedrooms without money and the support of labels meaning the underground scene is getting bigger and bigger. There are a lot of warehouse gigs and house parties for underground musicians to perform and network with other people in the scene.
5. do you play live? how public react to your music?
Our live performances are loud and abrasive and have been pretty disastrous at times if we get too messed up before hand. Sometimes people love it and sometimes we'll clear the room.
6. Genesis P-Orridge said "Our records were documents of attitudes and experiences and observations by us and other determinedly individual outsiders. Fashion was an enemy, style irrelevant.". What do your records represent to you?
We experiment with a lot of different sounds, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. The records are accurate representations of us: having a good time while succeeding, failing, and fucking around.
