Enjoy it![/x_custom_headline][x_image type=”thumbnail” src=”https://www.noizefield.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Markarian-348-1-e1444387790183.jpg” alt=”” link=”true” href=”#” title=”” target=”” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” info_content=””][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][cs_section style=”margin: 0px; padding: 0px; “][cs_row style=”margin: 0px auto; padding: 0px; ” bg_color=”#c4c4c4″][cs_column style=”padding: 0px; ” bg_color=”#ffffff” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″][x_raw_content][/x_raw_content][x_custom_headline level=”h6″ looks_like=”h6″ accent=”false”]Congratulations Pablo to your success of the Homeaffairs Remix Contest by Noizefield. Have you expected that you will win a record deal?[/x_custom_headline][cs_text text_align=”none”]Thank you for your words. I like to make remixes. I try to participate in Remix Contests when I can. It’s fun and you can learn how other musicians work. My approach is “let’s see what happens“.
At first I tried to adapt the remix to the style of the track, but it wasn’t really working, so I decided to keep my own style. It was a really great and surprising result.[/cs_text][x_custom_headline level=”h6″ looks_like=”h6″ accent=”false”]Tell our readers something about Markarian 348. Where do you come from, and when did you start with producing? [/x_custom_headline][cs_text text_align=”none”]I am from Argentina, I live in a small city called Paraná. I started with electronic music in 2008. My style in the beginning was more industrial / ambient, but with time evolved to something more techno / house, keeping some ambient elements.[/cs_text][x_custom_headline level=”h6″ looks_like=”h6″ accent=”false”]Your remix competition track is really a nice alternative to the other tracks, cause the original and the other remixes are just reflecting the EDM style. But your track is a deep house track and very groovy. Is this kind of deep house your favourite style? Have you always produced that style, or do you also like other kind of styles?[/x_custom_headline][cs_text text_align=”none”]Now I’m trying to focus in a more minimal sound. I’ve always liked Basic Channel, Plastikman, Monolake and things like that, but I’m always trying new things, too.
[/cs_text][x_custom_headline level=”h6″ looks_like=”h6″ accent=”false”]Tracks like your other track „Ghosts“ are a misc of ambient and experimental music, right? When you produce a track like this, do you start with the melodies or with the rhythm elements? Where do you get the ideas to your tracks?[/x_custom_headline][cs_text text_align=”none”]”Ghosts” belongs to the “Further Than the Ghosts” EP, and I really thought it as a some kind of soundtrack. For that track in particular I think that I started with the main melody, but it’s never the same. I’ve started tracks with the drum, a texture or just testing a new plug-in.

And if you did which tracks have you already released?[/x_custom_headline][cs_text text_align=”none”]I made a couple of remixes for Geodesic and Local Natives, but I mainly work on my own music. I have 4 albums and 3 EP’s, all self released.[/cs_text][x_custom_headline level=”h6″ looks_like=”h6″ accent=”false”]Which kind of equipment do you use for your studio productions? Do you prefer hardware or software? If you’re using plug-ins, what’s your favourite synth or effect tool?
[/x_custom_headline][cs_text text_align=”none”]I have a Yamaha RM1X, that I use for drums and some bass lines, but I mainly work with software. I like the analog emulations, especially Korg’s, but also I use any free VST’s that I can find. I also use Absynth and Massive from NI.[/cs_text][x_custom_headline level=”h6″ looks_like=”h6″ accent=”false”]Are you only a producer or also a DJ?[/x_custom_headline][cs_text text_align=”none”]For the moment I’m just a producer.[/cs_text][x_custom_headline level=”h6″ looks_like=”h6″ accent=”false”]Which projects and productions could the Markarian 348 fans expect next? Do you have got some other jobs in the music business?[/x_custom_headline][cs_text text_align=”none”]Right now I’m finishing a new album “Ghosts in the Night Sky”, I hope to release it in a couple of months. And I’m really excited to see what happens with the remix EP from Homeaffairs.
[/cs_text][x_custom_headline level=”h6″ looks_like=”h6″ accent=”false”]Now let’s tell our readers a secret or something that you always wanted to say.
[/x_custom_headline][cs_text text_align=”none”]Well, I’m not really a very comunicative person. I just wanna say thank you, to all of you guys at Noizefield, Lickin Records and Homeaffairs, for give me the opportunity to participate in this EP.
All of my music is online, so if anyone is interested can go and check it. All the best, and thank you,
