Interview: Jester Society - Neon Whisper

Jester Society was born by an Alessandro's (Lead Voice) and Marco' s (Voice/Guitar/Synth) idea in 2018. The band is also composed by other two masked members ¡HEIL (Drums/Pads) and DRAMA (Bass/Keyboards/Synt). After the release of the debut EP "¡HEILDRAMA!", the misterious masked members of the band changed their name in iWHITE & BRAVO! starting a new era for the project. Jester Society’s electropop is a mix of the musical influences of the band’s two home cities, Brescia in Italy and London in UK. The atmosphere born through the meeting of these two cities created a sound that merges pop with electronica and hip-hop, everything surrounded by an unique dark glam aura.

What strengths do you have that you believe make you a great musician?

The only good musician we have is mr Bravo. Well educated and graduated drummer

Who inspired you to make music?

Jesters are inspired by the beauty of the world and motivated by its evilness

Your latest track is 'Neon Whisper'. Can you share with us the background of its creation and did any unusual things happen during its creation?

Neon whisper was born during the spring of 2020, in the first lockdown. An Italian April among the sunniest and bluest ever, in stark contrast to the historical period we were experiencing. The genesis of the piece stems from this contrast. Neon whisper is an attempt to escape through dream images and pressing rhythms. A neon hallucination that whispers freedom.

What is your creative process like?

Writing is a process I prefer to face alone at the beginning because I need to listen to my inner voice.
Every day I can write a song is a good day, it affects my self-esteem. It is a therapy that starts from the inputs that the world gives me and that I then throw out in the form of a song. The creativity of the ego depends on how much work you do on your own sensitivity.

What is the biggest decision you’ve had to make?

25 y.o and still making music in Italy

What makes you different from others?

Our peculiarity consists in reconciling an international genre such as electro-pop with Italian romanticism

What is one message you would give to your fans?

We are trying to gather people around our concept of music, fluid and influenced music. No matter who you are and where you come from.

How do you feel the Internet has impacted the music business?

THE internet, through social media,has expanded music’s playing field. Everyone needs ( or copy) an aesthetic before their music. You have to be constantly present otherwise you can’t be viable. The internet has taken away the charm of mistery

What is the first thing you think of when you wake up?

I need to drink a Monster.

What are your plans for the future?

A music video, a tour ( finally) and a lot of music
