Interviewer:Fumimasa Hori
In mid-July,I interviewed with French multi-instrumentalist Cyril M.via e-mail.When I contacted Cyril M. through Facebook,he gave me a free download code of his new solo album「Vertiges」.I listened to it just after that. Then, I replied my impressions. The interview begins when he exchanges chat with me.
― It is great that the contrast between stasis and dynamics is clear on your new album. I also feel Japanese sense from your music. I think you have listened to a lot of Japanese music, especially Keiji Haino.
Cyril: I'm very glad you like
this album, thanks. It's true that I listened to a lot of Keiji Haino, but my
great fear is to sound like a copy from him. With this album I tried to get a
little away from his influence. I also listened a lot to Otomo Yoshihide,
Kawabata Makoto, and more recently Taku Sugimoto. Recently, I tried new directions
on electro-acoustic guitar, and maybe you have seen the video on my YouTube
channel.But whoever my music sounds like, I really care to be honest in what
I'm doing towards my audience. That's the most important to me.
