CRUISE [CTRL] (BE)
"It's always a challenge to talk about its own music: how to say enough without saying too much? Let's then feature some facts... Cruise [Ctrl] is a minimal-electronica duo based in Belgium and our compositions are sustained by strong rules: all tracks at 120bpm, only analogical material, no samples, no voices, no faces... no rules... It's a kind of 'Dogma 95' (Lars von Trier) translated into music... Let's say a word about that... Our influences can be found in the musical sphere, of course, but also in some cinematographic references. The most significant one is certainly David Lynch's work... It's not really a question of 'tribute' but mainly a question of 'method'... In a certain way, we try to catch his approach of the 'creation act' to produce our music. In that sense, we aim to create a specific [musical] experience. We also give a great importance to details but also to chance and coincidences... Images come by themselves... The music talks to both body and mind... It's both physical and emotional... In other words, our work (music, titles, artwork...) aims to be 'projective': there are 'holes' in our music and every listener has to put a part of himself, a piece of his own imagination and creativity to experience the music... He has to link our music to his mood, his emotional state when listening... They are no explanations to give about this... The feeling first... No needs to add words... "
