Read it below:<\/p>\n<p><strong>What did you want to express in &#8220;So Far Gone&#8221;?<\/strong><br \/>\nWe composed the music for &#8220;So Far Gone&#8221;, which has a dominant nostalgic feel to it. Yet some parts come with a\u00a0more hopeful, laidback atmosphere. We think the singer Golden Retriever did a great job with the words since it\u00a0basically translates these emotions with the lyrics. You know, \u201cCan We Try, etc\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Was it intimidating or thrilling to make your proper release party with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/yuksek?fref=ts\">Yuksek<\/a>\u00a0as a guest?<\/strong><br \/>\nHe is definitly one of our biggest influences. It was quite challenging for us two since I (Crayon)\u00a0got to play before him and Pyramid got to play after.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And what about your live in Tokyo at the Kitsun\u00e9 Club Night French Kiss Invasion, with Gildas,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/beataucue?fref=ts\">BeatauCue<\/a><\/strong><strong>\u00a0and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/LOGOrythme?fref=ts\">LOGO<\/a>?<\/strong><br \/>\nThis party was pure insanity, we both had our best party ever, played our best sets to the most enthusiastic crowd!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is Tokyo&#8217;s audience really different from the French one?<\/strong><br \/>\nTo be honest, French audience is much more difficult, you have to play fresher,\u00a0more hip stuffs and etc. While in Japan, from what we experienced, it seems they care more about the\u00a0energy of your set rather than the tunes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your best live memory?<\/strong><br \/>\nPyramid: I would say Tokyo for both us.<br \/>\nCrayon: Tokyo and also Montreal with my friends Jupiter. Great memories!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are your musical influences?<\/strong><br \/>\nCrayon : We share some similar influences, but in quite different ways and for very different reasons. I\u2019m really\u00a0into this late 70\u2019s pop thing, acts like Supertramp or Alan Parsons. I\u2019m also a big funk\u00a0lover, Change is one of my favourite band, and I grew up listening to &#8220;Thriller&#8221; on repeat like billions of\u00a0other kids.<\/p>\n<p>Pyramid : Sci-fi \/ ambiant stuff, I&#8217;m a huge fan of Alan Parson&#8217;s Project as well, Justice, Supertramp, Boards of Canada or\u00a0Royksopp for example, I&#8217;m not a huge listener of groovy \/ disco stuff, I find more of myself in melody or long\u00a0dreamy pads.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Apart from music, do you share other passions together?<\/strong><br \/>\nPyramid : We share a lot of stupid passions that we won&#8217;t talk about here\u2026 We are both big videogame players\u00a0and I&#8217;m also a big movie \/ TV show consumer.<\/p>\n<p>Crayon: Well I used to draw and paint before I started making music. I don\u2019t really have the time to keep it up but\u00a0I\u2019m still into arts, I love that new kind of expressionist thing from that \u201ccrew\u201d called Black Market. Ben Tour is my\u00a0favourite out of them all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s next for both of you?<\/strong><br \/>\nPyramid: For now we\u2019re both starting to play some gigs here and there. I\u2019m about to release 2 new remixes, one\u00a0for french singer AV and the other one for Golden Retriever, the singer on \u201cSo Far Gone\u201d. I\u2019m also finished with\u00a0writing the soundtrack for a short film, as well as an Indie Game called Pixel Boy. I should be writing some more,\u00a0notably for another short animated film.<\/p>\n<p>Crayon: Well I\u2019m working on my first EP, and as usual a bunch of remixes. And of course, touring is another thing I want to focus on more from now on.<\/p>\n<p>Get their EP on our <a href=\"http:\/\/shop.kitsune.fr\/p\/crayon-slash-pyramid-so-far-gone-ep\">webstore<\/a> or on <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/album\/kitsune-so-far-gone-ep\/id600469786\">iTunes<\/a>.<br \/>\nFollow <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Le-Crayon\/236270059778192?fref=ts\">Crayon<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/0Pyramid0?fref=ts\">Pyramid<\/a> on Facebook!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crayon &amp; Pyramid, the two new cool French producers and\u00a0selfmade djs, have just released a fizzy EP together called &#8220;So Far Gone&#8221; on Kitsun\u00e9.
