"The trap is an excuse for the show"

  • Mirri, with a red coat, appeared in the square, saying he was sad. Suddenly, he published a meditation album with the intent to drive the listener crazy. Now, by surprise, he has killed Mirri and rechristened himself to the name of Sushi. Having seen that, we ask him what plans he has for tomorrow, but he gives us the ambiguous answer from the player: that he has his head in the next game.

Are you still sad?
Only at 09:59 in the morning. For the rest, I am fine, except for some bitter moments. For example, when there are no dessert yoghurt left.

I told you because I see you severe on your Instagram photos.
Of course, I also have horns, like anyone, animal or robot. However, if you look carefully, you will realize that they are more joyful than sad photographs. Mirri, no. It's destined for sadness.

How? Aren't you, Sad Mirri?
No more. From now on I'm Sad Nigiri, because the garlic marries well with the tomato.

Since when?

Let's not forget the onion. Oh, the onion weeping...

Just to know: Why is Mirri focused on sadness?

“I call it post-humor or pre-drama: my proposal is not to send any message”

Life has been too hard on him – and I am not talking about drugs or family problems, that is what I know nothing about. What I know is that he has often suffered without deserve it. I believe that TMT – Txirri, Mirri and Txiribiton – is a clown that has confronted most of the trio’s enemies in the most effective way and yet has had to suffer unfair treatment. His most astute enemies beat him, especially Xaguxarroski and Dr. Patxistein. She has always tried to make people have fun and fun, and over the years that has consequences: psychotherapy, curative marijuana, playing paddle, etc.

Yes, yes. Did you perform the psychoanalytical study of the trio TMT?

Yeah, I've followed them since I was a kid. As I watched TMT's HSV, I was studying their behaviors, while eating a pear divided into six or seven parts. I disguised myself as a clown, and my father would record me. Then, at about fourteen years old, we formed a music group called Txirri Manson -- we made noise -- between some friends.

Did Takolo, Pirritx and Porrotx (TPP) no longer touch you by age – 24 years?

It went on, but it connected more to TMT. They had something, a curious touch that I liked. I remember once, when I was about ten years old, I was walking down the street with my father, and he said to me: “Look, that’s Txirri.” I was without makeup. I felt emotion.

I guess you'll have a review of Txirri, Mirri and Txiribiton Junior.

I saw them once in person. There is no need to say anything. It's like watching a group of tributes play at people's parties, adding tears and nostalgia. Maybe I should call myself Sad Junior to the project.

No more sudden name changes, please.

“As so many laps have been given, the trap here is everything that moves away from the anglerfish. And many do not serve at all as a musician.”

No, no, I haven't had breakfast today. In any case, to continue with the image of the summer, I would like to clarify that TMT is not 100% of the theme of this project. As an example, the aforementioned pear: one of those six pieces – probably the largest one – is TMT, but the other parts have nothing to do with it: one part can be a pizza, another a pizza Jim Carrey, a purple color, or the tail of a dog I have seen on the street… Most of the time I have based myself on moments lived. I call it post-humor or pre-drama. My proposal is not to send any message – no message lol. Without concrete ideas, it's about taking your imagination for a walk, until you get together with your creativity and eat a donut of chocolate. Of course, people stay like WTF? I can also give my opinion on corruption, rape, racism or wars, but I do not think that is part of the Sad Nigiri project.

You don't need much time to make songs. You then published your first album, Port Aventura.

I had a Youtube account and I would upload videos often. In one of them, without much intention, I uploaded the song Kurt Kobainilla, dressed in a wig from Mirri, singing that he was sad. The next day, he was launched on Gaztea radio, and I thought maybe it was more than just a video, because I had long wanted to do something on my own. We talked to my friend Kea and we started recording in his studio. Port Aventura came out in less than a month with ten songs. I didn't have any concert with me. A month later I recorded Meditation whatsapp with boredom at home.

A meditation disc, all of a sudden.

Getting bored is very important. At that time I became fond of meditation. As they taught yoga courses at the test site, we could not test in class hours. So I turned to yoga and started to curiosear in the world of meditation. Meditating serves me to calm anxiety and live quieter. At that time, I listened at home to the targeted meditations – now I prefer to act without anything – and it occurred to me: Why not create a directed meditation, but with the intent to drive the listener crazy? I got to work. At first it looks like a traditional meditation album, but all of a sudden the screams start, the sample of terror… it was a very cold welcome. A friend told me that torture could be a good mé todo.Otro, but said otherwise: After listening to the record, the fever of 39 fell suddenly.

And does the name of the third album, White Bernie, refer to what?

It is the most elaborate album so far and the one that people have liked the most. I used loops and free use samples to create a trap and lo-fi job. The title makes a wink to White Pony, from Deftones. Bernie is my rabbit, he was about to die. A good album that was worth it. Fortunately, everything went well. Then I played the first concert at the Sarobe de Urnieta. After the publication of your third album. Trap life.

You, too, to the ragbag.

An explosion is taking place, the new musicians appear under the stones. This urban scene is getting wider and wider. The best known will be El Corpus – Pioneers of Euskal Trapa – but there are more: Arrano Pertxa, Kea, Weird Joa...

He also collaborated with the members of the Corpus Christi.

It is born in a very natural way. We are in the Caribbean Islands, and after burning 845 e-cigarettes, we came up with a joint song with Zakil O’Neal and I. 845 cigarettes at a time was terrible.

You've also sung with Kea in more than one song.

Smoke and I have always been good friends. So this story is not as surprising as Corpus Christi's. While drinking water in the love tunnel in Ukraine, I asked him if he would help me record my first record. Yeah, he, and through the magic door, we went home and we started recording Port Aventura. One of the songs on that record was produced by him, and we were very happy to record it. Talking about music with smoke is always enriching and fun.

How do you understand trap?

“At a time when there are so many musicians, the image has become more important than ever.”

It's hard to define, because today it's called a trap for everything. I, for example, first heard that word with Kinder Malo, Pimp Flaco. It caught my attention, and gradually I moved the most saddie-rock betting like Yung Lean. In addition, I have always liked surrealist letters, although that is not necessarily related to the suit, as it is a music of ghettos. However, since so many laps have been given, the trap here is all that moves away from the anglerfish. I dare say that many do not serve at all as a musician. At a time when there are so many musicians, the image has become more important than ever. Cecilio G, for example. Although I like her music, many know her only by the cross on her forehead. O C. That proud image of the tangana, or the Yung Beef itself -- it's all a picture. Trap is an excuse for the show. Today, you can make music without knowing any music. You can download a loop, add a battery and make songs in five minutes. If you add a strong image to that, go ahead.

What plans are ahead?

I don't like to look forward too much. At the moment, I am thinking of the three concerts that I have to play these days.

You've got your head in the next match.

That's it. No training, but in the next match. We had fun Grinchie and I. Moreover, I will continue to create with Sad Mirri, Sad Nigiri or Happy Porrotx.

Grinchie? Who is it?

My computer. Maybe it was an excuse to conceal insecurity. I've always played in groups surrounded by people, but now it's the only one I know. I also make music through FL Studio and Cubase. In addition, I have FL Studio as a demo, which complicates things, as I have to keep the computer on. If I terminate a song and turn off the computer, or step down the program, I can't recover it if the next day I come up with a change. My name is Grinchie, because on the front page of the first album is Grinch, and at one point my colleague sent me a strange sign, because I thought I wanted to be Grinch. It's not as high as Grinch, so I called Grinchie. Jim Carrey is also our idol.

One last message?

Especially young people: eating puree, it's good.
