Spending half their time in Miami, the other half in London, Cyantific are swift to point out that Lizards run the US government:
“I’m into lizard conspiracy theories…go to: www.reptilianagenda.com where you can read more about them! Apparently, they walk among us!”
Amazingly, both Matt & John’s collective theories on life are comparatively just as interesting as their theories on music production. Working from a G4, Logic 7 setup, The Cyants claim never to have used Recycle-they prefer to do it the old fashioned way, like they did in the 1800s:
“We like to make a lot of the sounds you hear ourselves. Failing that, we just sample something and cut it as audio I guess. Finding the right samples however is a different story- it’s like searching for a needle in a hay stack, you have to dig that little bit deeper to find the gold- the weirder and more unlikely the source, the better.”
Cyantific’s most recent release: ‘Don’t Follow’, featuring Diane Charlemagne caused ructions in the drum and bass scene. It’s no wonder why when you have the use of amazing talent at your fingertips:
“Working with Diane has been a fantastic learning experience. She’s more than a session singer- she’s an amazingly talented musician in her own
right, and she takes charge of a session to make sure you get the best result out of her. It’s not something we’ve found with other singers. We’re working on a few more tracks with her for the album”.
Cyantific’s album is due for release in February 2006 and is to include some interesting collaborations from the likes of Logistics, Matrix and Diane Charlemagne. The Pre-album build up has been crazy, with the duo finding themselves booked for gigs on a regular basis. Coming up in August is their US tour, and I wondered, which is better? the UK or the US?:
“Everywhere has some good and some bad nights. No one place is the best, they’re just different. However, people abroad have a different perspective on the music, its fresher to some places. I suppose it’s that different perspective that gives it an extra something.”
