about ozu
Are you currently working on a project, like an EP or track?
We are constantly writing new stuff, recently a full album was released so we currently touring around Brazil and have plans to go to Europe pretty soon! Also, new tracks can come up at any moment.
What &/ who inspired you to create music?
It´s very hard to tell, my relation with music goes way before I can remember but for creating OZU I think it all started when I first listened to "Striclty Turntablized" from DJ KRUSH. I was a classical/jazz composer back then and when I first listened to this record my life changed forever.
How is your creative process like?
It depends, if i find an interesting sample I start with it and work around this idea, but if an idea comes first i try to find samples or elements to create the song.
What's an average day like for you?
Recently Brazil elected a proto-fascist guy for president so I dedicate a good portion of my life now as a political activist to try to help my country anyway I can. Also, there´s work but i ALWAYS find some time to make music, no matter what.
What advice would you give someone following in your footsteps?
Just make music in any way you can. don´t wait for the right equipment or anything. Just do it with what you have and what you know that things happen.
