Societe Perrier John Maus Interview Transcript (With redacted "uh"s and incomplete sentences) *Believer plays* I’m John Maus and I’m in Mexico City and I’m doing an interview. (How did you start making music?) I guess I started when I was a teenager, when I was a kid, just kind of seized by that event of punk rock as it came to me through people like Nirvana and stuff like that. (What is your creative process when you’re in the studio?) Improvisation comes into play a little bit and that’s one of the possibilities that doing it yourself affords. You can improvise a line over and over again until it seems to work. It seems to me that there’s been a lot of interesting work done spontaneously, without any forethought or after-thought, just kind of an immediate event that has recorded and been put down to tape. (What are you looking to provoke in the audience at your shows?) My thought is that, contrary to this idea, I’ve seen elsewhere that this basis for the contemporary art space and stuff are where it lives today. Where we find a space that’s disinterested or emancipated from the normal comings-and-goings. I reject that. I say that's basis is more part-in-parcel with normal comings-and-goings than just about any space you’d care to find. That the punk rock space, that the cabaret, or whatever you wanna call it, the space like this is the space where it happens. Where the aesthetic event is encountered. And so I try to achieve what the space is meant for and that’s to interrupt, to having something else in the world as it stands to appear. It’s just certain places you kind of are more curious about than others as to what they’ll make about the thing and Mexico is definitely one of those places. I’m not just saying that because I’m here! I’ve never been to Japan and I’ve always been curious with that whole. To whatever extent we can invoke peoples in this day in age of global hegemony, there’s still residues of a people, I think.There’s another people I’d be interested in what they’d make of the thing. In that sense I was really curious to get down here.
