Unquiet Void
interview May 2nd, 1997
Unquiet Void is probably best known for several compilation appearances including one with a collaboration with Lycia. Unquiet Void is dark ambient stuff. also present at the interview was Tara of Lycia. QRD -- are you still planning to release stuff on your own label & what are the benefits or problems with that? Jason -- yes & the benefit is I can have complete & utter control over it. the problem is I'm trying to figure out how feasible it really is at the moment. QRD -- what crowd of people do you think would be the most accepting of your music? Jason -- I'm not sure. I'd certainly like to stray away from the gothic industrial scene, that's just not where it's coming from. QRD -- which is a more derogatory term, man or boy? Jason -- boy. I don't know why. QRD -- how many people would you say are in your potential sales market? Jason -- how many people? I don't have any idea. I hear from people like Mike Van Portfleet that from all these compila-tions I've been on, that all these people are like, "Unquiet Void blah-blah-blah-blah" & no one writes to me so I have no idea. QRD -- what's the most rock & roll thing you've ever done & the most goth thing you've ever done? Jason -- the most rock & roll thing I've ever done was a song called "Dust" & the most goth thing I ever did was that same song. QRD -- I was talking about in life, not just in music. Jason -- oh, the most rock & roll thing I ever did, I'd have to say, was cow tipping & the most goth thing I ever did was put on black nail polish. QRD -- do you want to play live at all & if so how often? Jason -- yeah, once in a great while. I'll start off slow & see how it goes. QRD -- how many times a year, four? Jason -- probably. hell, once a year if I could hack it. I'd like to play at something like the Projekt festival. QRD -- what's your favorite love song? Jason -- "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" by Roberta Flack & I happen to like Cindytalk's version much better. Tara -- how could you not? Kristy (Jason's fiancee) -- I thought it was "Night & Day?" Jason -- no, "Night & Day" is also, but my absolute favorite if I absolutely had to pick one would be that. QRD -- what's your favorite Swans' song? Jason -- "Mona Lisa." QRD -- do you believe in unconditional love? Jason -- yes. QRD -- just like that, huh? is that from humans to humans? Jason -- yes. I love my cat & that's unconditional love, but I also believe there's unconditional love in humans. QRD -- what action figure would you most like to be? Jason -- hold on a second. I think I'd like to be... Bane. QRD -- that's from Batman? Jason -- yeah, he broke Batman's back. QRD -- any older ones? Jason -- how old? QRD -- like the seventies. Jason -- yeah, I'd like to be one of the Herculoids. QRD -- they had action figures? Jason -- I think so, they came out with that big green thing that they rode on with the shit that came out of the horns & stuff like that. Tara -- who was the chick on He-Man with the pink hair? QRD -- Teela? Jason -- no, that was the Sorceress wasn't it? QRD -- no, the Sorceress was a bird. Tara -- she had pink hair & she was really cool. she was a bad guy. Jason -- not Evil Lynn? Tara -- no. QRD -- it wasn't Evil Lynn because she didn't even have hair usually, she wore a hat. Jason -- you know, they didn't come out with many females for He-Man; just Teela, Evil Lynn, & the Sorceress. QRD -- but then She-Ra came out. Tara -- there was a girl with pink hair though & I can't remember her name. Jason -- you know who you're thinking of? Jem. Tara -- no. Jason -- aww.... it's pretty sad that I know about these things. QRD -- she was definitely evil though, nothing good about her? Tara -- nope. except her hair. Jason -- I'd like to know who that was, I was a big He-Man fan. I would have He-Man & Evil Lynn & Teela all have sex. QRD -- did you ever see that new He-Man? Jason -- that was bullshit. Tara -- I think she was on the newer He-Man. not the one where he had the page boy, he had a pony tail. QRD -- I don't know the pony tail years as well. Tara -- you know who else Cheetara. I don't want to look like her, but that would be my name. Jason -- she had that staff & Panthro had the coolest num-chuks with cat paws at the end. Tara -- Thundercats just kicked ass. QRD -- do you remember they got some new Thundercats all of a sudden? three new ones, where did they come from? Tara -- they were on some island, they had been trapped there. Jason -- Snarf, I liked him, he was cool. QRD -- you know, they're making a comeback. Tara -- Mum- Ra was so cool. Jason -- Mum-Ra was awesome. "Give me the might... the power...." Tara -- he had that slime.... Jason -- & Slithis the reptile toad looking dude with the webbed ears. QRD -- yeah, but I didn't that was his name. Jason -- yeah or maybe Slithy.... Tara -- Slythe... Jason -- there you go Slythe. QRD -- but then Jackal Man was just Jackal Man & Monkey Man was just Monkey Man. Tara -- what was the vulture guys name? QRD -- Voltar.... Jason -- no... Vulture Man, that's what it was. Tara -- Liono, he was hot. he was a fox. Jason -- who was that Panthro, Cheetara.... QRD -- Tigra. Jason -- right. Tara -- Wily Kit & Wily Kat. QRD -- Wily Kit & Wily Kat were bad asses. Jason -- they were the Wonder Twins for the nineties. QRD -- they're ten to fifteen years older than Liono, so they must be forty-five by the time they get to whatever planet they live on & they're still punk rock ass kickers throwing shit. Tara -- remember they had those skateboard things. Jason -- yeah, they had those in Back to the Future 2. Tara -- why don't they have that on? QRD -- they still do where I live. Jason -- really? they released all the episodes on tape. did you ever see the movie? "Genesis" where it tells how they got there & how Liono got the glove. QRD -- that was just the first episode, it was an hour long. Jason -- next question. QRD -- which Simpson do you most identify with? Jason -- Homer. QRD -- why? Jason -- he likes donuts & he sits around in his underwear with his hand in his pants belching at the television. QRD -- Zack, Screech, or Slater; which one's you? Jason -- Screech. I'd be ashamed to be considered Zack or Slater because I think they both have latent Oedipal complexes. Screech is cool, they gave him a bum rap. Tara -- Screech got really ugly the older he got. Jason -- okay, maybe I don't resemble him in that way. QRD -- or maybe you do. Jason -- the opinion's subjective. QRD -- what's your favorite cartoon? Jason -- Space Ghost. QRD -- the old one? Jason -- the new one's pretty good too. that & Dungeons & Dragons, Thundercats, the Smurfs. QRD -- what do you think about the internet, are you for or against it & why? Jason -- I think it sucks. it's evil. all the people on it are insane & I want nothing to do with it. |
