MICHAEL JAFNHAR THE KOMA FESTIVAL CREATOR INTERVIEW BY EBM LOVERS
.Please tell the Argentines something ABOUT KOMA FESTIVAL AND YOU I am Michael, 28 years old and a German living in Norway. I am studying travel & tourism at a University in Oslo. KOMA is an unique festival focusing on noise, EBM and industrial music. No other festival in the Nordic countries with this genre of music. We are very proud of what we do it possible together!
.Do you think is lacking in the Koma festival? What would you like to add? I think the line-up for this year is pretty awesome. Of course there are so many bands I would like to see, but we have to save something for next year.
, What kind of people will go to the festival? People from different countries will go? All kinds of different people will attend the festival. We have people coming from all over the world to join us for this party!
.Tell me what bands for you, are the most important that you will play in Koma Festival. They are all important to make the festival complete. Off course the big acts like Nachtmahr, Agonoize and LeĂŚther Strip is going to be awesome to see live, but the smaller bands we have booked have an incredible potential and we are so thrilled to share it with everyone. And not to forget the incredibly unique opportunity to see FGFC820 vs Tactical Sect lives on stage!
.How did the idea of doing a show of this style appears? Koma festival came to life after me not being happy with the industrial and ebm scene in Oslo. I missed the cool festivals in Germany and wanted to bring something like that to Norway. After a lot of talk with different people and no action, I just started booking bands. It got more and more, and turned in to the three day festival we now have. With help and advice from the original people behind the Elektrostat festival in Oslo, we've come far in getting it together.
.What Do you think about the Latin movement of EBM bands, Do you know something about it? To be true, i haven't heard of so many Latin EBM bands. Of course there is Hocico and Amduscia, but that's about it. It would be cool to hear more from this part of the world, Europe is quite dominant in these genres.

.Have got the festival Sponsors or State Help? We get some support from the city of Oslo. Not much, but everything counts!
.Are there similar festivals in Europe? Doesn’t´ t exist in Latin-America Fest of this kind of music. There are several festivals like this in Europe. The Germans are biggest on this with WGT and Amphi festival, but not to forget Resistanz in the UK and Castle Party in Czechoslovakia. .What is the dissemination strategy of the event that you use for? We use mostly Facebook and word of mouth marketing. We have send out thousands of flyers to all over the world, hoping to spread the word as much as possible. People have also been in touch with us wanting to know how they can help spread the word. We really appreciate all the people out there doing their best to make KOMA come true!
. Will be there videos or live streaming to people who lives far away can watch something about the Fest? Yes, we will film parts of the festival but as per now we're not going to have live streaming.
. How many people do you think that will go to the festival? That's a tricky question. As we've never had a festival of this kind in Norway before, we really can't give an estimate. Hopefully we'll be sold out (1111x Tickets).
