We are with Manel Espinosa, composer and guitarist of Bostok Project
Good afternoon Manel
You have just started your musical career and though you already have years of experience
What feelings do you have?
Our feelings
are a bit different because
starting with a new band
makes you renew a little your hope and your desire of doing
something new
How and when did you begin in the music world?
In the music world I started a long time ago when
I was still living in Aldaia
and my mother join me
to the music school
But I don't remember how it was called
But it didn't like me and I was unsubscribed the next year and then when I moved
to Castalla in Alicante
I met my friend Senent
and we joined to the music school "El Sogall" and it all began there
Personally, do you feel with more enthusiasm in this new adventure compared to the previous bands?
No, it's not more enthusiasm
it's simply different because
really at this band everyone is
more involved and
we want to go in the same direction
Why do you sing in English? Has it always been like that?
What happen with Valencian, your own language?
We sing in english because
at the beginning
when we haven't started yet in Bostok Project
we met a few times just to talk about that kind of points
and at the beggining
we didn't think about
singing in english, simply
while
we were composing we decided
how to do it and it came in english because the kind of music that we
play
really
the most of the bands sing in english
and when we composed our songs
we thought in english lyrics naturally
Why do you play heavy music?
Why that style?
well...
we play heavy music why we sing in
english. Also at the beginning we hadn't thought specifically of playing
that kind of music
simply
when we started the rehearsals it arose and we decided to focus on that style of
music
What guitar do you use? Do you feel comfortable with it?
Actually I'm playing with Kurgan Kdc 7
of Kurgan Guitars
that's property of
one person of my town that
makes manufactured guitars
and at the moment I'm so happy with it because it has a good sound quality
And to finish the interview, do your band and you have any goal
or any objective...?
evidently
all the bands
that begin and bands formed by young people like us always
have the goal
or better said, the dream of doing some day
enough gigs to be able to live by it
but we
decided to
propose goals that we could achieve so the first
that we have proposed is
trying to search for
the maximum small gigs in pubs or that kind of
places
and begin in that way and that's our first goal
Thanks a lot for the interview Manel, see you soon.
