First Aid 4 Souls – Interview
- Do you think your music is an intellectual, artistic project or do you just do it for fun?
The question is right, but I have to say, that in this project, the main point is on intellectuality and art. Maybe the black humour based on my experiences in the world is the thing what can be felt in some songs, but not in all of them.
The intellectual integrity and the roots of the group rely profoundly upon great intellectual achievements in history with an emphasis on ideas from classical philosophy – Heraclites, Plato and Hegel playing a large inspirational role. This conscious identification with our intellectual frequency serves us well creatively and also represents the group’s pride in its well rooted European culture. Regarding
transcendence, there are distinct religious, philosophical and magical traditions making appearances in our themes, but the band definitely refuses the negative energy of Satanism and New Age philosophy hasn’t served to inspire the group musically in any way to date. Essentially, the maintenance of the spiritual, mental balance is of great importance to us. We are constantly moving toward the essence behind this existence believed to be reality.
