Recently, I had the opportunity to interview K.K. Electronics, a musical project originating from Holland. I found the concept they have very interesting, I think they create true masterpieces in their music and music videos.
This is what they told us:
Hello, thank you very much for accepting this interview. I would like to start by asking, how did the concept of this project come about?
“Once I had a dream in my sleep, that an alien came to me, put on some music and said, that this kind of music I have to create to make our world better. Since then me and my team are busy doing just that. Or maybe that was not a dream?”.
In your country: how popular is electronic music? Are there festivals or raves that are organized on a daily basis?
“Holland is one of the world centers of electronic music a lot of musicians and DJs come from here (think Tiesto and such). There are a lot of events and festivals naturally, some of them 2 – 3 days long. You can check some here:

How do you make music videos for your songs? Talk to me about the creative process.
“I have a lot of vintage synths and a studio. Sometimes I just get a piece of melody and text in my head, while I am half asleep or like that (the aliens? :–). Then I start to fiddle around with the synths to create beats and melodies and then mix and master it, when I think it is ready. For the videos sometimes I have a ready Idea so I look for stock footage which corresponds with the idea and if necessary shoot some footage myself. Sometime I just browse through stock footage and see some nice small pieces, which give me the idea of the whole. Then the storyline comes out and off we go”.
You were recently nominated at the «Montreal Independent Film Festival», what does this achievement mean to you?
“Very nice and thanks to the guys. It is very important as a recognition and as an opportunity to show what we do to other humans (as we are ordered to do so by the aliens :–)”.
What significance do the aliens have within your entire project?
“Endless inspiration, great mentors and strict motivators :–)”.
