because it was just so colossal, but I certainly learnt a lot from it and hopefully I can
take that understanding of film and make cool projects essentially, but with a little
bit less intensive amounts of time behind them.
BiTS: Now tell me something about the music that you've been producing, and we'll
come back to the film in just a moment. Have you got a new album on the way or
anything?
KKH: I am working at the moment on some new songs, and I've started to get an
interesting little collection of riffs, basically, that I feel are going to be the foundation
of my new songs. I'm going in a sort of Hill Country Blues,
rhythmic, hypnotic direction and I don't know if I'm going
to have a certain mood on side A and a different mood
on side B. But I'm also working on a lot of darker,
maybe earlier 1920s style blues a little bit
Geeshie Wiley in flavour, so I think it's going to
be interesting. Quite different from my first
album, but I find that the way I work, I tend to
sort of build up the tracks myself in the studio,
and what I sit on the couch and create, can end
up being quite different to the end piece
once I've recorded it and layered it up
as I so fancy. So yeah, I think that will be
quite an interesting one. I'm having a
lot of fun writing the songs right now.
BiTS: Tell me something, do you do
live shows of this stuff?
KKH: I used to some years ago, but
it's just not something I really enjoy.
I love the songwriting element and
the artistic side of things, filmmaking
and the like, so I kind of do myself a
favour and I don't play live, which is a little bit controversial, I guess. It's quite
different, but I think you've got to make music something you really, really enjoy
doing. If there's an element of it that you don't enjoy. I don't really believe in forcing
yourself and making it a chore. But what I do do is I try and spread my wings on the
Internet and try and find an audience via that means and it's worked quite nicely
for me.
BiTS: Good. Good, that's definitely a step in the right direction. Now tell me about
how you got into this kind of Gothic stuff in the first place.
KKH: I think I've always had quite an attraction to that sort of mood, whether it be
in film or song or just art in general. And I think that sort of darker Gothic vibe lends
