Why is the music of O Quam Tristis relevant to today’s life?
That’s just our opinion: OQT music is not really relevant to today’s life but it’s one of the best support we have found to afford many worries of this “Today’s life”. The music we are composing, playing and recording is a kind of anaesthetic for us. If it could be able to get the same effect for some stressed listeners, it could be the least we could do: To have a relaxing and soothing effect on tired minds…. Do you have any musical influences or idols yourself? I noticed you mention Opera Multi Steel more than once. What is the connection to this band? Well, I could mention those records that have been and still are on our playlists since many years. In those works may be found the roots of OQT music : Malicorne “Les Cathedrales de l’Industrie”, Kolinda “Szerelem” Steeleye Span “Below the Salt”, Dead Can Dance “Aion” and “Spirit Chaser”, Qntal “I and II”, Ataraxia “Historiae” and many more that I could not mention without forgetting some in various genres (electro, synthpop…) Concern
