怨 (Enemite) - 旧煌-怒陵 [2005] Genre: Chinese Dark Ritual Ambient Album: 巫怨 (Wuyuan) Country: China Interview: Could you introduce yourself? In few words, what is Enemite and how would you define this project? Li Chao: Hello, Im Li Chao. I used to be a sound designer for TV programs and movies, but now I make dark electronic music with my wife. Enemite is an earlier project that I made it when I was a student. I call Enemite Chinese ghost music. This is a dead scene from an unknown ancient civilization. Does the name Enemite have a particular meaning? Li Chao: Enemites Chinese name is Yuan. It has to do with hate and sadness after death. For example, some didnt deserve death, some didnt want death, some died with regrets and sorrows deep in their souls and some didnt resign to the living reality. What was your motivation to create this project? Li Chao: I want to use sound and melody to make a scene. An archaic fear, something that has existed from long ago, since the age before memory, about facts that we will never figure out. It is difficult to explain with words. This evil and fear is not as simple as the mirror in your bathroom, or freaky television, or the tapping on the door in the dark bleak midnight. It is dilapidated and illegible. Id say its like one day, strange brainstorming penetrates your mind, reminding you of some unknown memories, somewhere, some time, some people, you gathered together in a circle, singing in an unknown language and burnt a baby on the bonfire. You can sense it is real, it is something that happened, but you just cant remember why, or how it makes sense to your present self. What are your artistic and non-artistic influences? Li Chao: Dream is a big thing for me. In fact I dont like nightmares. I suffer from those. And when Ive been suffering from sleep paralysis, many many many nightmares come to me. They are extremely horrific and damn real... What can you say about the album Wuyuan? What does this record mean to you? Li Chao: Yuan is my real first project. It was conclusive and all about me. To do Yuan, I learnt a lot about Midi, recording and mixing sounds. I dare say, this project changed my life. I used to be a student majoring in German, but now I am a music producer and film sound designer... All Interview: social-alienation.net/V02/en/intw/ent/
