thelinks was founded about 15 years ago by thierry christinaz and is designed to link as many a style of music as possible into 1 style: thelinks'!i love music,not a particular style.i'm no good at talking about this but i'd say my music is like a huge sunday brunch:all you can eat; all you can mix!yes,i love food,too!
Why this name?
thelinks came to me because all styles of music mix in my head!f.inst.; if a band loves heavy metal,they wouldn't choose "daisy" as a name...or would they?so links lead me from 1 style i love to another.also, i compose mostly using electronics with a voice in a large sense:in my musical world,they're lots of cables,wires..which 'link' it all into the making of a song!i love 'getting there' as much as 'being there'!
Do you play live?
mostly 'small' gigs but in lots of places:the US,london,barcelona,switzerland...2 of our CDs were modestly distributed (musikvertrieb) in 22 countries (what is called 'alternative distribution') and i've had a couple of opportunities to get into 'the bigger industry' but, to make a long story short,it soon made me quite sick!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
it is no longer a meat industry;it's a human industry!...if one's goal isn't to become 'a star' at any cost.but what wouldn't people do to be on TV?
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
yes,if the label is not only interested in huge steaks with a lousy sauce!
