her voice box-teenage jaws
There is a sanctuary in the music her voice box creates. It is the raw, replenishing nature of indie music, something that is easy speak of the soul. Bringing a touch of grunge with the chaotic outbreaks of lyrical sharpness, Kaisei is the voice of this project. This latest single is called teenage jaws. There is a grunge flavoured tone in your music that makes it so catchy. How does your song develop, different from that genre in the resultant song? It develops a mindset of not trying to be perfect. In fact I was purposely trying to make it sound low quality. This gave me a a sense of freedom which made me enjoy making the song. Who would you say your biggest musical inspirations are? The more unlikely, the better. I like the vocal chop work in EDM music and so I used chopped vocals in the background. Other than that my inspiration mainly comes from Now, now and Petal. The dreams to weave through What welcomes you is the ambient texture of the soothing synths and a voice message. You’re in this state of mind now, being a youngster at this time and age. Bringing this social elastic is something ecstatic and fresh that her teenage box creates. The song has a chord progression you might have heard several times, but has a whole other pocket within. Raw and with gusto, the vocals are delivered more like a train of thought than a lyrical stream. You have a distinct vocal style that makes people strain to hear your voice. Is that purposely done to shine more light on the lyrics? Not for that reason. It was more of a stylistic choice by me to add to the low-quality sound I was going for. When I recorded I never liked how my voice sounded unless I whispered and sang which is what I did. Percussions and drums come in just to aid. It is the way grunge stars remembered recording their first demo, on an 8-track that brought all the mustered energy straight to that magnet strip. The arpeggio notes of the guitar are like a guide to the voice, as it plays in the background like an accompanying friend. A personal touch, understood Tell us about your debut song, and how you thought about your style to put out for the world to see. What would be the most unique element that you make sure is heard from the songs? I like to not worry too much about the audio quality and focus more on the emotions I try to convey with the music. So I want people to feel with their what I am trying to convey with the music. How do you see this project develop? Do you have more songs in line to release or perhaps an EP or album? I was planning on releasing some stripped versions of the track like acoustic, and instrumental. I may bring these into and EP form. What would you like to say to musicians who are doubtful of releasing their music? I would say don't look for problems in the music. And if nothing stands out then release it. It's never going to be perfect. Are there any indie musicians you'd like to collaborate with? Someone who would complement your sound well? I met a musician Tess Anderson, who's music style might compliment mine. I have yet to approach her about it though. This song would be a perfect fit in The Doom Generation (1995). Though this movie was released almost three decades ago, there is a soul in her teenage jaws that makes the music so relatable to an outcast adolescent.
