Below is an email interview with LisaBe. All interviews are published unedited.

• How would you describe your music and what has been your biggest influence?

My music is my therapy, my reason to live, and my observations on the human condition. My biggest influence has been David Bowie pre-Young Americans (although I like that album as well as some of his later music too!) Brian Eno, Nico, The Dead Kennedy’s (I used to live with Jello Biafra) have strongly influenced my direction in music.

Tuxedomoon, Dead can Dance, Sisters of Mercy, Peter Murphy,Bauhaus and other bands in the punk,gothic, post punk genre have influenced me. Everything and everyone influences me…This Window, Out of Quebec, and Steven Does influence me, my garden influences me, my friends and the world influences me. People into higher consciousness inspire and influence me. Gurdjieff, Ouspensky, Rodney Collin, Buddha, Jesus, Joseph Campbell, Karl Jung, modern physicists, atheists, all the great painters and artists, and classical musicians such as Bach and Vivaldi influence me.

A beautiful flower influences me. So you see everything is an influence.

• Have you any exciting plans for the near future?

I am going to be working on bass lines and I am going to have human drummers play live on my bass lines so that I can get a more dynamic sound!

• Do you ever play live or are you predominantly studio based?

I am completely a home studio based musician.

• How does collaborating with other people work for you?

Well we will see how it works for me as I described above. I plan on sending the bass line for March of the Slugs to Mark Allen in San Francisco. He is going to play drums on it and send it back.

• What do you feel has been your biggest success so far?

I am not financially successful, only emotionally and creatively satisfied. When I find out something new about myself or the universe and discover another strength I didn’t think I had and I am able to express that then I feel successful. My music hasn’t been a commercial success.
I do what i want to do and I write what I want. If someone wanted to do something with it I would be open to listening to their ideas.
