He appeared in Bravo office with a new rigorous style, but it didn’t deprive his usual charm. Strify met his fans, talked to them, received gifts and then he told us about his life.
Bravo: When we have a cold weather, you’re constantly coming to Russia. Doesn`t it snow enough in Berlin? Strify: Not enough for me. You have snowdrifts, and we only got snow which is already molten. I love snow and rain. This is an excellent time for inspiration. Besides, architecture of Moscow and St. Petersburg is so beautiful and I can’t remain indifferent.
Bravo: Let’s talk about beauty. A few minutes before you coming in our office, you wrote in your T-it-ter: “beauty is p*ain”. Why such thoughts? Strify: I was driving on Moscow snowy roads, and was inspired by this drab picture. I thought that beauty often requires the sacrifice. If you want to be beautiful, you must endure the p**ain.
Bravo: Last year you promised to come back with new creative ideas. What did you do in last 2010 year? Strify: Yes, probably, I should not have to tell all my plans that they have come true. I dedicated last year to my family and myself. It was a quiet year: I have traveled a lot and visited Japan. Bravo: Fans are explaining your silence to be a result of a lack of the support from their side. Is it true? Strify: My fans are the most precious of all that I have! I always feel their support. I am very pleased to see their happy faces on my DJ-sets. They are my air! Just wait a little longer. Bravo: Do you prepare any new material? Strify: You know, many artists tell that they need an inspiration if they want to create. I don’t like that. I always carry with myself a notebook where I can write some interesting phrases. It may happen at any moment. Like today, when I stood in a traffic jam. Because with help of these words can appear a great song, do you agree? Bravo: Yes, of course, all will be good! But tell me, do you miss Cinema Bizarre times? Strify: -I meet with other guys from Cinema Bizarre rarely - all of us have our own affairs. More than anything, I miss one thing only – our concerts! You can’t imagine, how much I need it. This energy, working with fans – it is a thing I live for... Bravo: If you want the past to be back: Do you have a wish to do something, for example, like Take That, coming back for the last concert for fans? Strify: I know that our fans want it. I don’t deny this possibility. But I don’t assure too ... All these things, unfortunately, are too vague. It’s great, that Jack gives us a hope. Strify has to go to rehearsal and it`s a time to say goodbye. We thank Jack for his visit and invite him again. He smiles enigmatically and promises to come back soon.
