You’re going to be putting up pieces from your Automatism collection for sale online, it seems. I mainly deconstruct clothing and give it a new life. I sell my work in Japan, Poland, and soon in Indonesia. I was inspired by the designers I like: Rei Kawakubo (Commes De Garcons), Martin Margiela, Junya Watanabe, Yohji Yamato, Susan Cianciiolo, and others. I am not trying to be a household name or big in the industry. I also design/co-design other labels- Automatism, Mad Recital, and Dismembered Quietly. I showed my first collection in spring of '98. I didn't want to use my real name for obvious reasons. I chose the name Richard Saenz because "Saenz" is my grandmother's maiden name. In 1997, I decided to start my own fashion line. Some female friends liked what I did and asked me to do stuff for them. So I went to thrift stores and reworked found items. It doesn't have to be "high-fashion." I started making clothes when I was a teen. Many people detest fashion, but we all are a part of it. What do you hope to achieve? What is fashion to you?įashion is your own personal style. I’m also very interested in your pursuits in fashion design. I would recommend that more people check out: Struggle Session, Ascites, Illicit Relationship, Grey Cell, A Week of Kindness, White Gloves & Party Manners, Serpentine, Cronaca Nera, Tanner Garza, Folter, Morte Cammina, Nascitari, Ecco, She Walks Crooked, The Ebony Tower, Tellurian Fields, Big Hole, Female Pedophile, Ginger Cortes, Anonymous Masturbaudioum, Le Cose Bianche, Alison Rowe, Blood Eagle, Wet Dream Asphyxiation, Brutalest, Sandy Ewen, Nightmare Castle, and others (too many to keep listing). Core, Skin Crime, Sewer Election, C.C.C.C., Sudden Infant, Alo Girl, EEE, P16.D4, Con-Dom, Mauthausen Orchestra, Murder Corporation, Dead Body Love, and others. In experimental/noise, I'm a huge fan of The Rita, Vomir, Incapacitants, Kapotte Muziek, The Haters, Hijokaidan, The New Blockaders, S. I listen to bands like The Jesus & Mary Chain, Cocteau Twins, The Fall, A Split-Second, Gene Loves Jezebel, Pale Saints, Bauhaus, Big Black, Wire, Close Lobsters, The Woodentops, The Mighty Lemon Drops, Foetus, The The, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Church, Skinny Puppy, Frontline Assembly, Galaxie 500, and others. Personally, I listen to a lot of music that I've listened to since I was a teen. What music are you currently enjoying? What do you think we need to know about? I'd like to eventually release a vinyl of Last Rape. I may be releasing a CD of my project, Random Escorts, as a split with The Rita. I will be working with Vomir and The Rita again. I just released works by Ecco, Nundata, and Blood Eagle. I am working on a box set for The Ebony Tower as well. I am working on a Werewolf Jerusalem 20x disc set based on the Grand Guignol. Lately I have been focused on my label Room 2A. I wanted to create a label that would also give new/newer artists a chance to get their work out. I started a label because at the time it was so difficult to find a label to release my work. Tell me about your label, Deadline Recordings. In a live setting, I prefer not to perform solo (Even though I've done it numerous times) because I have stage fright. Sometimes you can bring out things in each other during sessions. You know, at a point, whether it's working or not. I enjoy seeing what different ideas that come together can create. What does collaboration offer you that solo work does not? You seem to spend a lot of time working in a group setting, playing in Black Leather Jesus, Priest in Shit, etc. There are a lot of Giallo themed releases, but it's my obsession. Early on I started using gay sex art because I saw so many of women used and thought "why not men?" I know I'm not the only gay noise artist out there. There are some that have "straight" sexual images too. I think there are certain projects that stick to a certain theme/inspiration. Would you describe your musical work as being thematically consistent? So much seems to be focused on sexual imagery? I highly recommend you take the time to download. This is noise-makers noise, created with immense craft and textural beauty. The tones are interesting, the synthwork almost impossibly gloomy. The album concludes with holy ghost, a more pedestrian take on harsh-noise. The track ends with metallic scraping and decaying, spidery ambiance. The organs is more up front, presenting a dreadful, echoing melody. The track ends with slightly out of place, spacey, ambient synth noise. The sounds stop suddenly and transition into a more Merzbow-influenced harsh-noise style, with added melodic accompaniment by a church organ. Father begins with the sound of a diseased organ accompanied by high-pitched drones and what appears to be faded, stretched-out samples.
