Nouveaunoise have been making just that on the Irish electronica scene for some time now. Pushers of delightfully inventive and engagingly off kilter music they recently came very much correct with their latest release “Sequence Consequence”.  I caught up with Conor to have  a quick chat about things in the world of Nouveaunoise.

Your most recent release “Sequence Consequence” represents something of an evolution in your sound, drawing in plenty of influence from the UK scene. Was there a conscious effort to push in a new direction or is it just something that happened organically?

I think a bit of both really. We were listening to a lot of new electronic music from all over and had exhausted every drum break we could get our hands on so it was time to try something different.

With Niall in Berlin and Conor in Australia geography is obviously
a factor. How do you find the difference between writing in person and writing over the internet by file sharing? Has it changed the process for you much?

Not really as we kinda worked that way even when we were living together, we have always just thrown ideas over and back until were both happy. The time difference does slow things down and without Dropbox we’d be lost.

I first saw you guys in a support slot for Super Extra Bonus Party in Andrews Lane a couple of years ago and there was a definite  energy and excitement on stage that implied a good time was being had. Do you miss the gigging?

Yeah, we defiantly do. The live shows were great craic. By next summer I’ll be living in Berlin too and we have big plans for the live show along with loads of new tunes to back it up. Were really lookin forward to that.

How did you find the Irish scene before you moved? Any advice for people just getting started at music production?

I wasn’t the best for keeping up with all that was happening, but from what I saw I really liked. I did spend many a night wobble’n round the twisted  pepper though, miss that place loads. As for the production> start early, outa nappies into tunes.

What tracks from what producers have really stood out there? Is there  anything you have heard and just thought “Damn, i wish i wrote that track”?

That Young Montana? remix of “Sweet Me” is defiantly one I’d like to have sitin in our Cubase folder…colossal tune! But man there is a hundred more I could pick, Depends on the day really. Too much good stuff at the moment.
LDFD “Outtacontrol” there’s another unreal tune.

What are the future plans for Nouveaunoise?
