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
