Today, we sat down with Drusuna to discuss inspiration to write music, advice, and much more! Be sure to check out their music below after the interview!
Interview:
What is your inspiration to write your music? Is it your
surroundings?
Nature is my main resource when i search for inspiration to build up a musical narrative.
Sometimes, a specific sound, noise, or even a bird’s song acts as a catalyst. Musically
speaking, I draw from a wide range of influences across various styles, but I tend to
gravitate toward more atmospheric and less structured or sonically defined sounds. The
chaos of the natural world inspires me deeply and often, that’s enough to serve as a
starting point for the next creation.
What type of music did you listen to growing up?
I listen to a wide variety of musical styles, but I definitely love atmospheric and progressive
music. White noise, meditative music, ethnic sounds, medieval, and early music are
usually a significant part of what I listen to most frequently.
Is there someone you looked up as a hero?
There are many people I admire, not only for what they represent but for what they create
or how they make things happen. However, I don’t have heroes in the purest sense of the
word. But if I were asked to honor someone for everything they stand for, that person
would be my mother!
If you weren’t a musician, would you be doing today?
I’m not a full-time musician; music has always been an art that has accompanied me since
a young age. Perhaps I should take it more seriously, but it has never extended beyond a
passionate hobby. If music weren’t such a big part of my life, it would always be something
within the arts—visual arts or beyond that, perhaps history or anthropology. I love
exploring the mysteries of the physical world and humanity.
What advice do you have for our fans out there that want to create
music?
Nowadays, creating any form of art is highly accessible, as we live in an era with an
abundance of technological resources and information. I encourage everyone, regardless
of age, to explore their creative intentions. Specifically in music, the only advice I can give
is to strive to be genuine and not create anything forced just because it’s trendy. Most
importantly, don’t make music with the sole focus on people’s feedback, seeking validation,
or comparing yourself to other artists.
Of course, sharing our creations and reaching people who connect with and appreciate our
artistic language is rewarding. But first and foremost, we create art for ourselves, and if it
resonates with others, that’s a bonus.
