“I would say I am creative, dedicated, outgoing, but also often introverted as well, it depends.” -Jake Matthias Kummer,21

Who are you about, how would you describe yourself. I would say I am creative, dedicated, outgoing, often introverted as well but it depends. You study architecture…I wanted to study it since I was about 12 and when I went into the degree I thought I would be an architect, but now I’m in my 4th year and I have realised that architecture is more of an interest, than a passion.

What is it about architecture you like?I think that the beauty of studying architecture is that with t h e d e g r e e y o u c a n s t u d y everything. You can go into any branch of design, go into any branch of science, you can do anything really. I am still happy I chose it, although I don’t want to go into the architecture career path. It is a good base and a taste of what the work life can be like. Because its intense, the course – if you’re not passionate about it, it might be difficult.

What is the most interesting thing you have done so far in terms of architecture? I would probably say my internship last year it was in a place called Jump Studios in London, I was lucky enough to get it and they did newish concept of design, which is called workspace of design. They worked for Google, Red Bull, Yahoo all these big companies, and they basically did the offices for by combining an interaction design between the workers, but also high quality and high concepts into their design work. I didn’t know what to expect because the university had not sent anyone to the place before. It was intense but I had lots of r e s p o n s i b i l i t y a n d i t s v e r y interesting.

W h y a r e y o u s o d r a w n t o architecture? I think that with architecture, you have to study architecture from many different v i e w s , t h e h i s t o r y , t h e o r y , math’s, the structures, physics, the urban theory, but at the same time you also have to have the creative subjects. And because its s o b r o a d e v e r y o n e e x c e l s i n different regions of the bachelor, but still you can apply the d i f f e r e n t v i e w p o i n t s o f architecture into the creative subjects. It’s flexible although t h e r e a r e l o t s o f l e g a l r e q u i r e m e n t s i n a r c h i t e c t u r e education, but it’s the perfect mix, especially in IE, with the theoretical and the practical, especially with the internship.

Why IE? A lot of people in IE have the same answer, many students wanted to escape or try something different other than their own country; lots of students at IE c o m e f r o m i n t e r n a t i o n a l backgrounds and that’s pleasant.

What kind of architecture inspires you? Depending on the country that you studying in you are highly influenced, you have Spanish teachers, Spanish history, Spanish examples, so you will obviously be i n f l u e n c e d i n t h a t f i e l d o f architecture.

What interests you around the f i e l d o f a r c h i t e c t u r e ? N o t specifically architecture, but design, I don’t want to be in one specific profession I want to be i n a n e n v i r o n m e n t w i t h a l l d i f f e r e n t p r o f e s s i o n a n d especially in a small practice would be great. With people from all different backgrounds working on different issues, I know what environment I want to work in but not specifically what profession I want to work in.

What kind of working architect are you? How do you work? Last week we had a workshop with two architects from Stockholm Tham & Videgård and in the architecture program we have two subjects, which are external from the legal requirements. Its integration workshop and experimentation workshop, in experimentation workshop you do things that are c o m p l e t e l y u n r e l a t e d t o architecture and integration w o r k s h o p w h e r e y o u a i m a t integrating other professions into the architect world. In this one week you could really see what the style of work from different students were. Usually you have a lot of guidance and influence of your teachers, but this time you could really see that students developed their own style. With me people said that t h e i n t e r i o r s p a c e s , o f m y architecture, are very precise and detailed and the outside of the building comes secondary.

Future plans? I have one more year and I would like to work after I graduate at least for a few years and then think about doing a master, maybe hopefully receive a job offer from one of my internships.

What should people know about architecture? I think people think we have a lot of creative work and we have fun do models and stuff, of course we have fun but it’s a lot of work and its intense and serious, the work load takes longer, it may not actually be the work load but the time spent doing it. There is a lot that goes into it , but you have to think about it from every aspect, because at the end of the day when you are an architect you are legally responsible for that building. It’s a very serious profession, but very fun.

When did you become interested in music? I was one of those children that was constantly contemplating the highly realistic thought of being in a BoyBand one day. The main problem with this career ambition at that age however, was my lack of talent in reading notes when playing the piano, just as the infamous frequencies my voice would reach mostly resulting in the urge for listeners to leave the room once I started with my solo.  Apparently I would make the expiry date of all foods change depending on how much I sing inside of our house. But luckily I practiced enough outside and slowly got better over time. Hitting puberty at age 18 definitely helped as well. It gave me more of a deep smoky voice instead of that drunk angel voice I had before. So I started recording more and taught myself to use logic as a music-‐ editing tool and each finished song led me on to making an even better one due to the experience I made on the last one.

What is your music inspiration/music type/style? I always have to double think in how to explain the sensation of music as a source of inspiration. In general there is no band or genre that is particularly inspiring to me. It’s more that a general idea is adapted. Even though I might have made a song with nothing in mind, it will still be inspired by something depending on what structure I use, for instance whether I have a chorus or intro. In the end, it is completely inspired while it isn’t a t t h e s a m e t i m e . A s I c o m p o s e melodies, chose instruments and write lyrics, it is arguably completely mine. However, I’m subliminally using themes and structures of songs that I heard throughout all my life so without that life long experience, my songs would probably be very different.

What is your opinion on soundcloud? In general I love it! We are social beings and I personally think it’s more interesting to have a network dedicated to sharing creative outputs rather than the last participatory addiction of the Facebook mainstream. I have been uploading music on soundcloud for the last 1.5 years and have since met numerous other likeminded producers all over the world. This social aspect is amazing for getting feedback and discussing over possible collaboration. Nevertheless the recent update of the App was a step in the wrong direction… but I think I’m not the only one with that opinion so I hope public opinion will do its job.

Where is you’re favourite place to create music? My bed! I’m a very horizontal being. (I hope this doesn’t have any dirty secret connotations) but yeah. I love to lie so I enjoy making music while in bed, preferably with bad weather so I don’t have to feel guilty about it. But when I have to play an instrument, I mostly sit up. After an

PHOTOGRAPHY: ALESSANDRO FABBRINI

attempt of playing the piano while lying, I realised that I might be taking it to far. In no world will I ever be taken serious on a stage while taking my own bed with me. But in terms of creating rather than playing music, I will be lying 9 out of 10 times.

Have you played at any events? I played the piano in the background numerous times when growing up but performing l i v e i s m o r e a r e c e n t t h i n g . I participated in some concerts at IE last year but never a solo act. I have a horrible case of stage freight that keeps me up nights before the event and I hate when something that I love suddenly becomes something that I’m scared off. In the end, my music is for me to waste my time on and not for others, so I never really saw the point of regularly performing music in public. So unless you want to watch me jam in bed in my boxer shorts, you have to find yourself content with the stuff I upload on soundcloud.

What is your last music cover? And when was it released? I released a cover of Britney Spears’ Toxic last week. Most of my remixes are songs that people know. I like the idea that people can sing to my songs although not knowing any other component. Apart of the lyrics, it’s a completely self-‐made and self-‐arranged Song. In Toxic’s case, I would see it more as a twisted and deep version compared to the original.

Who do you work with when you create your music? Most of the process happens alone. I play the music and edit it for hours and hours. But I enjoy having a female voice in most of my songs. I feel my voice to be too mellow to stand-‐alone so I go headhunting when attending the I.E. music meetings.
