"DBF Driven By Fire" founder discusses the project's origins, emphasizing the transformative power of energy in music. Exploring the debut song "Dreamhunter," the artist delves into collaboration, songwriting, and the upcoming release, offering insights into the emotional and motivational impact on listeners' lives.
1. Can
you share the inspiration behind founding "DBF Driven By Fire" and
the vision behind the energy-driven metal music you create?
"DBF
Driven By Fire" is a result of various lucky coincidences. The project
came about as part of a fantastic gift from my brother, which brought me into
contact with the producer of Azure Audio, gaving me the drive to get musically
active again after a long break, without committing to where the journey will
go concretely. During the songwriting and great synergetic production the idea
of making my music outside myself alive and make them audible for other people
evokes. The name "DBF Driven By Fire" is based on an understanding of
energy of various kinds that can be transformed, so that it can be give or can
be released, depending of the needs. Just as fire etc. can be used as a source
of energy, music can also be used by many people to provide drive and
motivation for their life. If (some) people can get this in general out of my
music, I'd be very happy about it.
2. What
motivated you to choose the name "Dreamhunter" for your debut song,
and how does it align with the band's overall theme?
"Dreamhunter"
wasn't the first song written, but with its drive and lyrics it was a fitting
opening. The name and lyrics of the song were created along the lines of the
music during the period of songwriting, in which the music took shape, along
with the song name and the idea of DBF Driven By Fire. Dreamhunter formulates
the idea of using music to awake burning emotions for goals, challenges, etc.
3. Tell
us about the collaborative process with Azure Audio and producer Jan Listing in
bringing "Dreamhunter" to life. How did these collaborations
contribute to the song's energy?
The
collaboration with the producer Jan Listing was a beneficial key experience for
me, as I got the opportunity for the first time to combine my musical ideas
from metal songs or a metal band. I worked with a producer who understood my
music, so that through his understanding and skill a great music production was
created for me as a synergetic result, what made the song greater then I was
expecting.
4. How
do you define the concept of "Fire" as a source of energy in your
music, and how do you aim to transfer that energy to your listeners?
As I said,
it is based on the transfer of energy. In the very simple way of listening to
music, this can arise between the listener and the music, in one direction or
another. The next song "Rage & Fury" picks up on this and turns
it around in comparison to “Dreamhunter”, because it's about getting rid of
what causes rage and fury.
5. Can
you take us through the songwriting and production journey of
"Dreamhunter"? What were the key elements you focused on during the
creative process?
I think
I've already said some things. I can add that my new Jackson guitar somehow
gave me a different guitar tuning in the course of down tuning and the preamp
Neural DSP Quadcore used supports me well with the composition and the first
takes. My Songwriting starts mostly with the guitars (riffs, melodic and
rhythmic elements) followed by the vocals and the lyrics. Based on this demos
it goes in production with my ideas about the other instruments and sounds to
complete the song. During the production ideas were mixed up.
6. The
lyrics of "Dreamhunter" convey a sense of passion and determination.
How do you hope listeners will connect with and interpret the message within
the song?
After all,
the bond always comes about through the music and the individual pleasure of
it. There is always a personal element to the interpretation of a song, but the
title of the song gives a rough direction. Spotify, as an example, has the
synced lyrics, so you can follow along the song.
7. What role does diversity in musical styles
play in your music, especially considering the heavy guitars and rhythmic
foundation mentioned in your press release?
For
example, when New Metal came along or whenever well-known bands make a change
of style or a style variation, questions arise about the limits of a band, a
style etc. related to the listenership. But life in general and for me
personally, music is not static. Combining different elements of metal music
was therefore an open approach for me as a basis for my music.
8.
Looking ahead, you mentioned a new song to be released on 01/03/24. Can you
provide a sneak peek or share any insights into what listeners can expect from
this upcoming release?
In addition
i can say, that you already listen to a preview like a teaser on my instagram
channel.
9. How do you envision the impact of
"Dreamhunter" on listeners, particularly in terms of its suitability
for activities like workouts, everyday life, and pursuing personal goals, as
mentioned in your press release?
Not an easy
question, because my music comes from my ideas and the process, without knowing
the exact concrete goal at the beginning. I think, as with the upcoming song,
the inner or loud singing along of the chorus is an essential element for the
transfer in the required direction. Having it in your ear and remembering the
meaning of the song awakens motivation and drive.
