NAVICON TORTURE TECHNOLOGIES

Violent Entity Technologies

Done introduce to the readers of "Exoteric". Who the Navicons Tortures Technologies are? Does the name recall in a certain sense a technological entity (NTT = En-Ti-Ty)?

Leech: Although there is a verbal similarity between the acronym NTT and the word entity, there has never been taken a conscious advantage of this fact. It's merely coincidental and remains unimportant at the moment. Perhaps in future it will come to mean something, as we can never be sure what will inspire us in another time of our lives.

The last work of NTT is the double CD "The Church of Dead Girls". What you intend for “church of dead girls”? On your site web shows a vagina as a door of entry for a black procession of dead women.

Leech: well, this was the last release on Malignant Records, but I have released numerous limited items on my own Annihilvs label since Dead Girls was birthed. As for what I intend(?) There are metaphors present on many levels, some conscious and some unconscious. I was inspired for the title by a novel with that same title early on in the conceptual stages of my next release. The killer in the novel was kidnapping young girls and manipulating their corpses into objects of worship. In the world of NTT, the vagina is at once a holy temple and the entrance to untold terrors.

One of yours more best work are " I FUCKING HATE YOU ALL AND I HOPE YOU ALL FUCKING DIE " on Eibon. Valuable peculiarity of this album is the multiform use of the voice. Not shot vocals but bawls treated in a vast range of dark tonality. Do you repute your voice an more instrument for NTT?

Leech: I do consider my vocals to be an integral aspect of the NTT sound, whether it is the drones, or as my lyrical conveyance. I scream, I shout, I sing, I moan, I speak, I whisper. The process of obliterating any trace of humanity in the sound of the voice is also an important aspect of NTT, it's most likely the closest I will come to a metaphysical transfiguration.

In comparison to the though appreciable projects power-electronics American, your sonorous proposal him far notably for an ample use of the sounds. It always concerns extreme industrial but enriched by inserts of ambient and pure noise sound. NTT is a project of a thousand of sound?

Leech: I will try to respond to this question as best I can, though I'm not sure I understand it. I am inspired by a variety of artists and sounds, so I tend to combine my influences into something that may fall within the crack between power electronics and other subgenres. This in many ways is what inspired the genre designation ‘power romance' because this style is not exactly the same as power electronics. I am drawing influence from many of those acts who blazed that trail, but I'm not following their footsteps too precisely. I'm not sure how to explain what it is exactly that separates me from others of my kind, but I do recognise that I am doing something different, and so do those who follow my work.

Over that as NTT, has other musical projects? And does it have part these you have involved in other extra activities as label or other?

Leech: I have released one cd by XENONICS K-30 on the AD NOISEAM label. This project is a collaboration with Scott Sturgis of CONVERTER fame. There are plans for other projects in the future, and in fact one track has been released by KOERPERWELTEN, which is a collaboration between myself and Nordvargr. I have some more tracks by this project which I need to keep working on, but they have been delayed by other works by NTT. I have also discussed collaborations with TARMVRED and KLANGSTABIL. Whether these will ever happen must remain to be seen. For some time I have been trying to get a metal project together, but logistically this always proves difficult.

Who creates the beautiful images that I find in your site? Can you explain me in the details her hidden meanings? Seem me to see a certain imaginary sexual in this…

Leech: as with my sound work, much of what you see is appropriated, however for the most part the artwork on my site is all created by myself. My art is definitely sex-obsessed, I don't know if I can explain any hidden meanings, there are of course subconscious glyphs in each piece I create, and I have heard that everything an artist draws is a self-portrait.

I have seen some of your photos while you are playing live. Known that when you are on the stage you make yourself totally involve from the music (as well as a rather particular use of the microphone). Thing is for yourself the dimension live?

Leech: live performances are important for me, as I find myself becoming more adept at this activity, it will always be a large aspect of NTT. I'm not sure if I become totally ‘involved' it certainly doesn't put me into a trance!

"The Church of Dead Girls" hands a words of Michael Gira of the legendary band Swans. As well as shows different times one t-shirt of the band in New York. How much have been conclusive the Swans for the NTT?

Leech: I always wear a Swans tshirt when I perform as NTT. I must do this in order to remind myself where I found my inspiration to make this emotionally honest music. I discovered Swans as a teenager and they had a profound and enduring effect.

Two words on her "Power Romance Foundation" and your thought on CDr extremely limited edition phenomena..

Leech: the Power Romance Foundation is something that I am still conceiving, the closest thing I will get to having a fan club. I came to realize that there is a group of 20-30 people worldwide who endeavour to own every NTT release, so to organise them into a real group made sense to me. These people will be able to pay a one-time fee which will ensure that they get copies of whatever I release for as long as I can keep track of the organization. It is not yet active, and there is a lot of thought which still be put into it before it's official.

Do you want to add other?

Leech: I can't really think of anything else, other than to say thanks for the interview, and Hail Satan!
