Arvikafestivalen and interview with Marina !

This Saturday Marina and Eddie performed with Page at Arvikafestivalen.
Unfortunately I couldn't go there, but Johan Wejedal was kind enough to send photo from there (that is the photo you see here !).
But a while ago I had the opportunity to ask some questions to the Marina. Here they are ! Thanks Marina !

What is the difference in making synth music now on, 20 years ago? You don't screw together the sounds manually anymore!

Are you more inspired after so many years in music than in the beginning? Definitely more now. With more experience, more enthusiasm.

Do you have the same role models in music today as when you started? Any Swedish/ foreign model. I do not think I have so many role models anymore. I first look at other artists, such as Goldfrapp and Florence & the Machine, for example, but it is more to see how they act individually as artists, how their attitude is. I have no Swedish model, feel quite odd here. When I was young there was the strong women who were my role models, such as Ellen Ripley in Alien.

Among the musical genres that exist, how come that it was the electronic music? I really do not know. I only know that when I heard Gary Numan for the first time it happened something in me. Perhaps the electronic sounds represented something new and alternative.

What does the music for you? Emotions and memories and love.

What started Page? Eddie and I met and got together 1980th We bought two synthesizers and started a band. All played in bands at the time, almost.

Has comeback been in mind long? No, the idea came spontaneously when BWO decided to pause.

What is the ultimate synth pop song? Good song with good sound.

What is your favorite song on the new album NU ? Du är inte här and Du är min drog.
