SEINT: New video/single for Post Pop

ONENESS WITH EVERYTHING

The last couple of years have been prolific and fruitful for the one man entity Seint (formerly known as Kalel). This brainchild of one Joseph Muscat has yielded number of releases, videos and internet singles (if you can call it that). 

Halifax Collect has tried to keep up with the lone wolf, so, please mind the related stories at at the end of this post. But before you do that, please enjoy the sounds and visual via this brand new Seint video for the son "Post Pop."

Below you'll find Seint in conversation with Halifax Collect.


"Post Pop" sees another new stage in Seints development. Could you describe the stages of Seint stylistic leaps from the beginning and to Post Pop, and why you've moved the music onward so rapidly?
To me the leap from my earlier release SAMAN to to this years soon-to-be-released second EP Post Pop don't seem that different from one another. For me they both convey the feeling of oneness with everything, and how fragile and precious the planet really is to us. But perhaps soundwise Post Pop will sound a bit more modern than SAMAN. I have learned so much since it came out.

People mention how the songs are easier on the ear now, but there's jaggedness to your new songs and convey heaviness. Are you trying to combine dark colours with pops brightness, so to speak? Or am I projecting too much?
Not at all. Couldn't have said it better. Also jagged would be the right word to describe the sound of it. For it is the first of its kind in the genre that I just created called post pop. It's a statement in itself.

If Seint was a movie, what movie would it be and why?
To me Seint would have to be at least more than one movie. But if I would have to choose one. It would be Akira. Being colorful and grimey at the same time. I have always imagined Seint to be a dystopian post apocalyptic movie.

If Seint was a movie/book/graphic novel character, who would it be?
Rikki Stormgren from Arthur C Clark's Childhood End. Having the feeling like him being torn between two worlds, being literally drawn in different directions while making Seint music. It's a little bit of everything that I have learned through my life. And I feel describes best my own character in a graphic novel called Being Alive on Earth [laughs].
