Interview: Max Sharp of Destruction's Creation Talks About Their Debut Single "Puppet"
/
“Honestly, when crafting away, I try to think of the most emotional moments of my life so far. Those events will be the big ones in your life; the first break up, loosing a loved one, falling in/out of love, back and forth, back and forth.”
Salute to you on the release of "Puppet", the debut single by Destruction's Creation. Tell us about your creative process for the development of the track.
Hey thanks! “Puppet” was actually an experimental creative process that just happened to work out really. I had sent a demo for the song to Sylvia Massy after a friend had done some work with her and she ended up liking it and put me together with a brilliant programmer and mixer. Scratch, Click, Program, Mix, Master, and Release!
With "Puppet" now released, can we expect a music video to follow, or is another single in the pipeline?
So, yes to both actually! I am spending most our time/funds on the next single, "Get Away From Me," but have been slowly building a stash to buy a film grade movie camara.
Video is a huge part of the music for us and we feel like it can push the vibes! We have it all storyboarded and ready to go minus a drone and lighting.
How did Destruction's Creation as a new music project come together, and who are the participants?
DC came about through Sylvia's vision initially and we all kinda jus ran with it. While in Secret Static I had always played very heavy and with a lot of distortion, screaming my ass off. Replying to the demo, she had the idea of collaborating with Eric Anest, whom she felt had the same dark presence yet could beef up the melody and completely change the dynamic of the sound from a dirty garage grunge to something a bit more progressive.
Once we got the mix back from Eric, she put me with her, at the time, studio manager who mixed pop named Ivan Handwerk and that was really a critical piece of the DC pie. We all have such different styles yet the same outlook on music sounds, if that makes sense at all?
When you are crafting new songs, what are some things/people/places that inspire you creatively from a songwriter and production perspective?
Honestly, when crafting away, I try to think of the most emotional moments of my life so far. Those events will be the big ones in your life; the first break up, loosing a loved one, falling in/out of love, back and forth, back and forth. Ya know, it seems to be the most tragic events that stand out the loudest and I'm not sure why.
You've mentioned that the Destruction's Creation will be touring this year, with an emphasis on contemporary visual arts. What can you tell us about the upcoming tour and what we can expect visually?
Alright, so the tour we are piecing together is going to run heavy with contemporary film rolls that I have been collecting and archiving for a while. I've been messing around with embedding colors and objects in both stock footage and my own videos that represent the desired emotions and feelings that the songs project. Even at the starting point if the idea we are seeing some very cool phenomenon with the vibe that we are dying to share with the world. Goosebumps, tears, and smiles is the idea. We want you to feel.
