Listen/Share: Douran - ‘Inertia’(Gui Boratto)

Greatest inspirations or influences?

My inspiration comes from two different worlds. one which is film and the other electronic. Composers like Hans Zimmer, Johan Johansson, Olafur Arnalds, and artists like Moderat, Rone, David August, Max Cooper..

How has this pandemic affected your creativity?

To be honest this pandemic didn't really affect my creativity, on the contrary because I confined myself to my studio and suddenly I had the time to concentrate only on creating without worrying too much about time.

What are the themes you touch on with your new work/music?

I really imagined this EP like movie scores, with different intensities and emotions depending on the scenes, but I also thought it through like live music. And the major themes in my music is the different kind of emotions. I like think that my music could intensify the life of the people who listening to it, like music do it with movies

How do you see the world and the music changing as we move forward into a new world?

For my own sanity I try as much as possible not to think about the future of music in these times of covid, I think it's very difficult to know when it's going to go back to normal if it's going to go back to the way it used to be or differently.. But all I know is that people need music and parties..
