TMODM: Who are your main influences?
Ignacio: In Huillín in particular: Aidan Baker, Pocahaunted, Violeta Parra, Lightning Bolt, NEU!, WERL and Faust.
Simón: In the drums, I would say that a mixture between Gabriel Parra with Keith Moon and Bill Bruford.
TMODM: What’s next for you?
Ignacio: I should say first that Huillín was active in 2018 only, but the band will exist as long as Simón and I exist. We are close friends. That being said, we recorded quite a lot of material that year, so I will try and assemble another Huillín album soon. In addition to that, I have many new releases planned with my solo project, ihä, all of which will hopefully see the light this year. I hope Simón and I can reunite sometime in the near future.
Simón: It would be beautiful to improvise again someday. For my part, I have several mini-projects with Mucola, but nothing finished. Hopefully I will focus and finish something soon.
TMODM: Are you optimistic or pessimistic about the future?
Ignacio: Rather pessimistic. As long as capitalism is still in place, I don’t see how things can change for the better in the long term.
Simón: I think both. One part of me thinks that the system is changing for worse, but another one thinks that I, nevertheless, have had optimistic encounters in these months of crisis, inasmuch as this global context has brought about a lot of reflections to many, including myself. |
