‘The Journey’ - The Octopus Division

  ‘The Journey’ - The Octopus Division In ‘The Journey,’ a sonic mosaic unfolds that—permeated by neon-soaked synth pads and a melody that feels like memory—is less a song than a spiritual compass. The time that relentlessly pursues us, according to ‘Time keeps chasing us every day’, is not portrayed as an enemy, but as a constant touchstone that we face with our heads held high: ‘ We won't let the rain wash us away’ .

The Friday Interview: Moxy One


One of the big surprises from last month here is Moxy One. His latest song "Never break up" sounds still in my ears. Here is the one and only Moxy One to give some answers to our questions. Thanks for your time.


WHO INSPIRED YOU TO MAKE MUSIC?

Oasis and Green Day.


WHAT IS YOUR CREATIVE PROCESS LIKE?

Pretty straight forward really, the music is always there. not sure where it comes from really? but the lyrics are something that can be challenging for me as a songwriter.


WHO WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO COLLABORATE WITH?

Ive never really given it much thought, and to be perfectly honest i dont believe i have a band or artist in mind? strange...


WHAT IS THE MOST USELESS TALENT YOU HAVE?

Im pretty good at keeping the boxes of things i buy just on the off chance i end up selling them. the useless part is that i never sell them.


WHAT IS THE MOST USEFUL TALENT YOU HAVE?

i can make an amazing hot chocolate. is it a talent? im not sure, is it good? most definitely.


IF YOU COULD CHANGE ANYTHING IN THE PAST, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

To slow everything down and not rush anything, life can go pretty quick sometimes. before you know it your thirtie.    


HOW DO YOU FEEL THE INTERNET (ESPECIALLY SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS) HAS IMPACTED THE MUSIC BUSINESS?

Well it definitely has its benefits, every song or album is a click away. in terms of exposure it works, as an artist or band you can get your music heard a lot easier and quicker these days.


WHATS NEXT FOR YOU?

Writing and recording and just planning for when the pandemic lifts and we can go back to normal, looking at bringing out another track in a couple of months.


WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT AUSTRIA?

Nice! Not a lot as i have never been unfortunately, maybe in the future.


WHY MOXY ONE, IS THERE A STORY BEHIND THE BAND NAME?

Its not a very exciting story to be honest, i used it as a gamer tag on playstation for years and just thought it sounded pretty good. i was already used to it so i thought why not. cant stand trying to find a band name haha
