🪞 An Interview with the Artist: iServalan on Precision, Technology, and Emotion

Published in: Audio Aesthetica Quarterly (2024)

Interviewer: Your sound world feels both futuristic and deeply human. How do you balance those two extremes?
iServalan: I never see them as opposites. A string under tension is mechanical, but when you bow it, it becomes emotional. Technology is the same — it’s neutral until intention transforms it.

Interviewer: There’s a distinctive calm to your studio imagery — is silence an essential part of your process?
iServalan: Absolutely. Silence is the precondition for any sound that matters. I prepare silence like others prepare a stage.

Interviewer: Your music is often described as cinematic. Do you think visually when composing?
iServalan: Always. I think in frames, not bars. Sound should move like light.

Interviewer: What’s next for you?
iServalan: Expansion — not in scale, but in depth. The next works will be quieter, but they’ll reach further.
