Interview
Mogra Radio: Are there any Asian countries outside your own country that you are interested in or would like to play in?
Bongomann: I haven’t played outside of Singapore before, would love to score a gig in neighbouring cities like Saigon, Hanoi, Hong Kong, Bangkok, KL, and from what I hear, people in Bandung and Jakarta are on a whole over level!
Mogra Radio: Where does the name come from?
Bongomann: Bong is my last name, so it kind of chose itself haha!
Mogra Radio: I saw you use hardware synthesizers/effectors on your live set, What is your favorite pieces of hardware?
Bongomann: It’s been the Elektron Digitakt these days, it’s my first Elektron tool so it’s been a good way to learn the workflow without getting too lost in their more expensive machines. Just a solid sampler & midi sequencer that gets better with every update!
Been on a quest to find a drum machine I like as well that combines ease of use with great sounds. Really enjoyed the Drumbrute for its easy sequencer but wasn’t loving the sounds too much.
Recently bought a secondhand Analog Rytm MK1 and have been toying around with that - maybe it’ll be my new favourite? We’ll see. At the moment I’m still getting frustrated with it but it takes time I guess!
^ Already loving the Digitakt + Analog Rytm combo 🙂
Mogra Radio: Who are the artists that you are most interested in or paying attention to in Singapore or around your community?
Bongomann: Gonna shout some of my favourite friends here!
