5 Ques�ons With…. Tu�y Hacker Interview by Steve Thomas-Green Biohacker = Electronic sounds, some�mes mixed with metal/industrial riffs with a twist of sci-fi or horror thrown in! You’ve just released, Ar�ficial Realignment, your first newmusic in a year, you lazy sod… what got you fired up again? And is it hard to create newmusic when the inspira�on just isn’t there? LAZY SOD?? ME?? It’s true that it’s been a while since the last Biohacker release, but that doesn’t mean that I wasn’t always working away at Biohackery things! My mo�va�on took a big knock towards the end of 2019, start of 2020 and to be honest, I wasn’t sure if Biohacker was going to s�ll be a thing anymore. Up un�l then it had been wri�ng, recording, publishing, wri�ng, recording, publishing….and on and on for 5 years and somewhere near the end of that �me it had stopped being fun and had just become “something I did” and didn’t seem to be making any progress anymore. It wasn’t un�l this lockdown and a certain text that I received from an American friend of ours Steve (that I’ll talk more about later in this interview!) that I got my mojo back and started enjoying the wri�ng experience again. I then re wrote the tracks that I had for an un�tled album and quickly created 6 more, and lo, Ar�ficial Realignment was born. I know that Biohacker is never gonna become uber famous or make me wonderfully rich (like TrishaMrs.Hacka- would want it to! Lol) but it’s something I now LOVE again and, now that I’m ge�ng some very nice things said to me by my musical peers, it really makes it all worthwhile. Just somebody saying “HEY! That was good” can really make all the difference (as can seeing those download/play stats going up!!lol) I’ve said for ages now that your music needs vocals… and you’ve taken the plunge on the rather splendid Slave… Are we going to hear more of this/you in the future? I think you’ve done a great job, by the way Thanks mate. I was never comfortable with my voice (being recorded) as I have a thick “norn iron” (he means Northern Irish – Ed) accent! I took the plunge for “Slave” for two reasons. 1. You told me to (in a “it needs a big vocal” kinda way) and 2. I had recorded some backing vocals for the Handsome Abomina�on project and they turned out not so bad (even if I do say so myself) so I thought I’d give “Slave” a go. Lyrically it’s not challenging as it’s just one sentence, but it’s something I’m gonna address more in albums to come. I can finally see howmuch more of a dynamic it adds to a track. (It only took me 21 years to work that out!! YES!! I have been making music for nearly 21 years!!)
