hmm, i gave some little interviews recently, and there were some questions more or less all the interviewers asked... i collected them and here we go if you are interested :

when and how did you start your project ?
look at the bandinfo, there is not much more to tell about ...

what does f/a/v mean ?
f/a/v is short for fucking and vomiting. the name is inspired by the drama "fucking and shopping" by sarah kane and some japanese ... err... website. these days i think it's quite a funny idea to give the acronym a new meaning on every release, like "feinde auf valium" ("enemies on valium"). next will be "freude am verzweifeln" ("joy at despair") i think.

are you gonna perform live in the nearer future ?
aah, difficult question. i'd like to, i love playing live. but the way i produce my tracks makes it hardly possible to reproduce them live. so i only could have playback running and singing and shouting along. i did this several times, but it's not very interesting for the listeners i guess. another possibility would be having guest musicians on stage. maybe i'll do this some time, but i don't really like the idea, because f/a/v is a solo project and thus garthering guest musicians around me would be inconsequent in a way... hmm, i don't know whether and when i will find a solution for this little dilemma ...

your second album is much harsher / cleaner / punkier / less punkier / whatever than your first one. why ?
i just changed my production methods a bit, and my taste in music also changed in the last two years, and this influenced my sound in a way. i didn't think about how the whole album would sound, i concentrate on each single track. it's not a concept album, just a collection of songs.

how do you produce your tracks ?
there is no standard-procedure. i only work on a track when i am in the right mood and when i have plenty of time. sometimes i start over with a beat, sometimes i program a strings-like sound first, sometimes there is a slogan, sample or part of the lyrics first. one thing most of my tracks have in common is the way i record my voice: very spontaneous and fast, i usually use the first takes.

what's next ?
i don't know. i am working on new tracks, and some time a new album will be ready. then i'll think about where and how to release it. maybe i'll do some remixing and/or compilation contributions in the meatime.

and here's some questions i've never been asked but if i'd interview myself, i'd ask them :

are you a left extremist ?
no. actually i am member of the social democrat party. sometimes i also vote for the green party.

do you use drugs ?
enormous amounts of coffee and cigarettes, alcohol one or two times a week. no medicaments, no illegal drugs. now.
