DOLPO \\\ INTERVIEW 2016
1.Hello Gabriel, how the things are going in the Dolpo tribe?
Everything is good, we are playing around and working on the release of a remix/rework of our album Yak Path Session by harsh-noise, power electronics, dark ambient and post industrial artists. It will be published on limited edition cassette tape, with the title: Yak Path Revisions. Besides of DOLPO, Luca is performing some special shows live with his band Amp Rive, they make live soundscapes during the projections of Dreyer's Vampyr movie.
Mali and Tommy are ready to publish a new EP of their band Anice. Mattia just started a new side project.
2.Tell me how you guys come up with the name Dolpo and which were your fascinations to create this
kind of ritual music ?
It all started with Fotocopia Europea. In our city each year there is a festival called Fotografia Europea. Nobody of us ever liked this festival, nor their mission, nor their assumptions, nor the purpose for which it was conceived, nor the obscure businness and the dynamics behind it.
Fotocopia Europea is the anti-festival, totally DIY, and more interesting under the point of view of art quality than the institutional counterpart. When our friends of Fotocopia Europea asked to me Mali and Fred to make a live impro show at the closing party of the the festival, i proposed to convert into music the Bön ritual of Chöd, since i was studying it. Few years before i was at my friend Alessandro Papa home in Rome, staring at an old tibetan painting depicting a Chöd ritual and a sky burial (parts of this painting are on Yak Path Sessions cover art), that day i discovered that the himalayan area is rich of extremely obscure and ancient cults, so i started studying some books, including the one of Martino Nicoletti, "Chöd, il sacrificio di sè". From that book we took the first name of the band "Nomadi Dell' Invisibile" but since people called us for short "Nomadi" and there already was a famous 60's italian band with that same name, me and Mali decided to change the name with a different, unheard, one. So we decided to use DOLPO, the name of an area in Nepal that is difficult to reach and where old cultures and traditions are still alive.
3.How you will describe the Dolpo sound?
Something in between of drone doom, atmospheric, ritual music, with some concept of classical music and ethnic music converted in something else after being dragged into a completely different sound environment.
The idea is, what kind of music could be made by shamanic monks who lives in an inaccessible monastery on himalayas, if they had loopstation, electric guitars and bass?
4.I know that you guys make your own instruments, what we can find in your ritual toolkit?
Mali is the only real builder. He made his hurdy-gurdy, all the flutes and the death whistle. Under the brand SHERPA I just made the kit guitar I use live and cosmetically customized the Sherpa amplifiers.
5. "Yak Path Sessions" was released in 2014, can we expect a new Dolpo album?
Definitely Yes. We have been busy recording some songs for compilations and other works, currently we are focused on the remix/rework that will be published within this year. In 2017 we are going to start composing the new DOLPO album, and hopefully it will be published within the same year.
6. what can people expect from a Dolpo live ritual, how would you describe your live performance?
Our live shows (and our music in general) is not composed following the average rock standards. It is a sort of a soundtrack for the inner journey of the audience. If you are focused on the show, you will find yourself in a different place, alone, walking up a foggy mountain, it will be a difficult journey, but you might be able to overcome your spiritual obstacles and at the end of the show you will find yourself, safe and sound, back in the club. And you will feel good about it.
7. i saw you guys play alot, you had a short tour with Phurpa, how you will describe this experience?
This was our second time with Phurpa and just like last year shows, it has been like… one of the best live experiences i have ever had in my life. We are all Phurpa fans since long time, the opportunity to play with them and talk with them has been like a dream come true. They are our teachers and friends. Great musicians. great people. They also do a lot of research, what you see during their show is not only aesthetics, is the result of a lot of study and research.
8. there is any interesting story that happend you on the road?
Not really, we just load the car or the van, drive, unload it, load the stage, make soundcheck, have few drinks before shift to the mode "water and coffee only" to avoid problems with police because of drink and drive, play the show, unload the stage, having some relaxing and nice moments smoking cigarettes and talking with other bands and people from the audience, load the car or the van, drive home, unload the car or the van, go to sleep while the sun is rising.
9. Thank you for your time Gabriel would you have some final words for the Avantwave readers?

Short DOLPO Biography:
DOLPO is an italian drone-doom-experimental band, inspired by the ancient cults of the nepali, tibetan and
north indian area: the Aghori cult, source of the meditative and obscure aesthetics; the shamanic cult of Bön,
source of part of the original instruments (Dhyangro e Damaru drums, telescopic copper trumpets Rag-dung,
human-femur trumpet Kangling, tibetan singing bowl) and the typical overtone singing method of the nepali
and tibetan chants “Gyer”. Alongside this instrumentation they use electric guitars, bass, loop station, floor
tom and cymbals, theremin, shruti box. The result of this mix is an obscure, noisy, atmospheric music, that
bring the imagination of the listener from the urban environment of a rock club, to the desolate peaks of the
Himalayas, along the lonely and dangerous paths beaten by Yaks.
A show, an initiation rite.

Over the years both bands have taken the basic premises of their respective genres, and, whilst remaining true to them, have consistently kept them fresh by expanding and experimenting, sometimes taking them in directions that have surprised fans, but always maintaining the highest quality in terms of writing and musicianship. Both Kvarforth and Hoest are, in fact, acknowledged to be two of the most exciting and dynamic live performers today.
IGGY POP 'Sunday' Video Released
˝SUNDAY˝ The new video from IGGY POP`s new album ˝Post pop depression˝ was unleashed today, you can see the video below:
MISFITS REUNION
THE ORIGINAL HORROR PUNK ICONS MISFITS REUNITE!
Original Members - Glenn Danzig and Jerry Only
with long-time guitarist Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein
Set to Share Stage For the First Time Since 1983 as the
Original Misfits Headline Riot Fest in Denver & Chicago
And they said it would never happen. Never!!
However, this September, Original Singer/Songwriter Glenn Danzig, Original Bassist Jerry Only and long-time Guitarist Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein - for the "First Time in Over 30-Years" - will be stepping onto stage together as "The Original MISFITS" to headline Riot Fest & Rodeo in Denver, CO (September 2-4, 2016) and Riot Fest & Carnival in Chicago, IL (September 16-18, 2016).
From the time of their first gig in 1977, the MISFITS and their iconic imagery went on to become one of the most crucially influential, genre-defying bands to ever emerge from North America, the MISFITS significance extends well beyond the narrowed path of punk rock & hardcore. Although not cognizant of how significant they would become, what the MISFITS achieved in their initial six-year window deconstructed and redefined rock music.
All the while, the MISFITS with Danzig's unmistakeable voice, Only's ferocious bass sound and the bands anthemic songs, melody-induced choruses and authentically bruising musicianship, cemented their importance with all ensuing generations, whether in arena-filled metal shows or in a sweaty 400-cap club in Tucson. And for the 'First Time in over Three Decades', legions of diehard fans from around the world will have the opportunity to hear the Original Band that created thousands of bands in their wake.
