Good evening, Good evening, and welcome to an incredible episode
of Vigilantes Radio live right here on iHeartRadio, and I
am your host, Deanni. We have a very special guest
with you. Guys, you could definitely want to stick around
for that. And as a matter of fact, text your
buddy family members are even shared on social media right
now and let them know that we are about to
(01:05):
dive deep into another interview. Before I bring my guests on,
I do want to say that this is the frequency
of the fearless. You know, sometimes music doesn't just play,
it transports. It can lift you above the noise, take
you beyond the atmosphere and leave you weightless, even if
(01:26):
only for three minutes at a time. Today's guests have
mastered that feeling, pulling from classical precision, jazz, groove, impure
indie pop soul to create something that feels both universal
and deeply personal. You're not just here for a talk show,
and this isn't just radio. This is a revival for
(01:47):
your mind, body, and soul. This is Vigilantes Radio Life.
My name is Coach Dini, and change is possible.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Are you ready? Are you ready?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Are you ready to?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Are you ready?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Well, let's go, let's go. All right, all right again,
welcome to the show. You're listening to Vigilantes Radio Live
right here on iHeart to Radio and I am your host, Deani.
Our interviews are designed to go beyond music, news, books, art, acting, films, technology, education, entrepreneurship, entertainment, spirituality,
(02:41):
and sometimes even past that thing that we call the ego.
Our interviews are designed to go behind the scenes into
the minds of these brilliant human beings, you know, the
ones who are out there giving it. They're all for me,
for you, and for the world. Well, ladies and gentlemen
from the conservatories of Vianna to the boundless suspense of
(03:01):
indie pop. Fallen Astronauts our craft and music that floats,
glows and resonates. Their latest single Higher captures the pure
lift of optimism wrapped in layer instrumentation, born from years
of classical and jazz training. With their debut mono EP
on the horizon and a European Asian tour ahead, they
(03:23):
are proven that their sound and vision has no limits.
And with that, please join me in saying welcome friend
to the Fallen Astronauts. Hey, Hey, hey, welcome to the show.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Hey, thank you for having us.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Yes, thank you absolutely, guys, Max and e mil welcome
to the show. We are so happy that you guys
are here. Before we orbit into the details, never mind
that was real cheesy. Before we just really dive into
the details of everything. What's been on your heart and minds,
are fueling your inspiration the days?
Speaker 5 (04:02):
You know, we are pretty excited since, as you mentioned,
the release of our EP is coming up.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
So we are all into like our work.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
And like transporting the message of our songs and our
EP as like the whole concept. So yeah, that's what
we are like into the last days and just to
to get our music out there. And it's so great
to get that nice feedback from so many people exactly
getting it out there.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Yeah yeah, So is there a date for the release
of the EP.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
Yeah, it will be out on the thirteenth of October,
so mid October. So because beforehand we will release some
excluded singles like Hired it's the first one. So it's
it's like the whole process till the till the EP
comes out.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
All right, cool cool, So October that's not too long
from here, and that's the that's the harvest.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Mone.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Is there a reason why you guys chose October.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
I mean, I think it's like there's so many songs
coming out in summer and also like in September normally,
and we said, like we want to like conclude the
year like or nearly like in October two to release
our songs and to have like this this time frame
beforehand so everybody can enjoy also the singles before and
then like the finale with the EP release in October.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
I like the sound of Higher, you know, it feels
light as air. I know, it's kind of hard to describe,
as you know, within the musical context. But what was
the first spark that made you want to capture weightlessness
in a song.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
I think.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
It's like our name is, it's like fallen Astroisk comes
from the idea of like floating around the universe. Like
we also we love that sound music has, like especially
in the indie pop genre. Always we have a lot
of a lot of inspiration from other artists and we
love that dreamy sounds.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
And that is also what.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Hire is about.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
It's about feeling weightless, just letting go, just feel this
uplifting beats and the whole news and just to yeah,
enjoy it and give you like a positive.
Speaker 7 (06:23):
Feeling exactly the spherical elements, the feeling of weightless.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
That's basically the thing we wanted to capture.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Yeah, And and I mean life is always about ups
and downs, and we wanted to highlight the ups like
in this song, so even if they are like downside
in life every time. Also like the Holy Peed, it's
about ups and downs and Hire should like illustrate the
great size of life and gains ramp again and just
(06:56):
enjoying it. And and that's also why we wanted to
release it as the first song. Also in summer, particularly
because it has this summer.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Vibe also a little bit funky base. Yeah, it's just HiT's.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Yeah, yeah, I love that. And then speaking of up
and down, I like the concept of falling astronauts. You know,
I love the concept of zero gravity just floating about.
But why are you guys falling and not flying astronauts?
Speaker 7 (07:28):
I think, I mean, I mean, it has some some
I think it has something.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
To do with like gravity.
Speaker 7 (07:36):
Gravity is like falling, but you fall over the edge
of Earth, for example, and then you basically fly.
Speaker 6 (07:43):
It just keep falling, but you never hit the ground.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Actually, so when.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
You're not ground to actually fly, you don't have to
worry about hitting the ground. Yeah, so we're falling in weightlessness,
so we basically, yeah, we we just flowed.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
And I think it's I think it's also more beautiful
and just flying because it illustrates more this picture of
really feeling way less.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Than floating around.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
And if we would add something like fallen, then it
would have some negative vibes. So we Yeah, so we
decided to go for falling also with the Apostophe because
it said like it's a more artistic vibe and it's
it's it that's more of everybody can interpret it their
own way a little bit more, But for us, it's
(08:32):
like just this feeling of baselessness basically exactly.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yeah, yeah, I get that, man, I get that. That
makes perfect sense. I did a free fall one time
and even though I was falling, I wasn't really falling, you.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
Know, exactly exactly. Yeah, that's the feeling we want to transportate.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Also, like the whole music.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Yeah, I love that. So you mentioned the track is
about positivity. Wait, mention that, but the track is about
positivity after a breakup. How did that personal or imagined
story takes shape in the writing? Is it a true story?
Speaker 4 (09:11):
So yeah, actually it is a true story.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
So it's for us, especially for me, it is like
a really personal epee. Also because I went through a
breakup and it was difficult, as breakups are always, and
you go through these different stages. You know of this
feeling like somehow maybe three or like you have so
(09:34):
many possibilities now, but also you're like kind of these
depressed times you always have and you think of the
old good times and little bit nostalgic. So it's also
in the ups and downs after a breakup and that's
what we also put into the lyrics.
Speaker 7 (09:51):
So yeah, exactly, but this is mainly about the ups,
so when you get a strength after that downside of
the breakup, and that's basically what hire it's about.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah, okay, so this is a positive breakup song. So
I would be does it does it give me like
encourage the breakup with by girl?
Speaker 4 (10:13):
For you?
Speaker 5 (10:16):
I Ki, I'm amazing you know you say it is
like a positive break of somebody. I mean, it shouldn't
be only about breakup. It should Yeah, it's it's a
general thing. It's it's generally about ups and lives, in
ups and downs in life. But it's like from a
person experience how we got to the song.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Let's say it.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Let's say it like that. But everybody should have their
own interpretation. There's also something which is really important to
us that our songs should always be open for interpretation.
There's nothing like the wrong or right way to see it. Also,
the lyrics we try when we write it, we try
to put our personal experiences and feelings in it, but
(10:58):
still everybody should, yeah, make their own story a little.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Bit out of it.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Yeah, yeah, So how long did it take you to
write this? The song, I don't know from scratch from
scratch not that long to be exacted.
Speaker 7 (11:18):
It's more it's more the production process that takes the time.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
Writing itself goes relatively quickly by hand.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Yeah, because if you.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Get like the lyrics and you have like this idea
and everything comes together quite fast, I would say, especially
we know each other so long now able and I
so when we write a song, it's it's really like
a stand up process already.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Yeah, almost, And so we are pretty good now at
producing many songs.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
We have a lot in the pipeline, I mean about
forty songs, but we kind of release all of them
and we don't like.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Don't want to give them all just yeah, just to
release them. But so higher it was pretty fast.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
But the production process and then you you you rewrite
some things and yeah, also with the vocals into any
kind of difficulties and then you have to change shrinks
up again.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Yeah, so I think I think the definite answer would
be around for the writing process maybe three days or
something few days, but.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Then like the whole production.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
It was like for the main e Pe we for
for Holy p we took like one year because we're
a little bit of perfectionists. And it's kind of way
I mean as many artists.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
I guess.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
So yeah, so who does the production?
Speaker 7 (12:45):
We both in a in a way we sit together
and try to get everything into into our theory the
W the W and but I have to admit the
production genius from us both his.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Email because he.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
He has he is he has the knowledge and that
always saying yeah I'm I'm the production now.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
But he has you know, email has more like the
skills that and he has like this kind of feeling
for how you should produce a song from like when
we when we write the song like from scratch. Then
it's like equally we both have ideas. I come up
with some courts, then Emil at some guitar rists and
we put everything together all too the instrument so it's.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
It's a it's a joint process. But when it comes
to the final production.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Steps, and I think it's more like emails thing also
like the raw mixing and so on.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Yeah yeah, okay, oh yeah, that's right. You guys are
multi instrumentalists.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Email.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Did you go to school for or or is it
based on just a lot of experience?
Speaker 7 (13:52):
Oh no, I did go to school it's it's a
new it's a higher it's a music college basically in
the are nice. And I also did go to music
school where I finished finished jazz piano. So yeah, that's
that's the way I went because of also my family,
which which comes from a whole classical background. Everybody in
my family plays plays instruments and also studies them. So
(14:16):
that's basically yeah, setting stone for me.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Yeah, man, I love jazz. I played a trumpet for
like seven years and then decided to go to college
to expand that knowledge of music theory, you know, and
I got to jazz and I was like, oh no,
this is a monster, so I quit school.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
So yeah, that is a superpower that you guys have
with the jazz training and classical training. So I do
have to tip my hat, applaud and stand up for
you guys because you went through that. I couldn't unfortunately,
but you guys did, and and I appreciate the music
you create. How long have you guys on each other?
Speaker 5 (15:02):
I think now it's been like seven years something like that. Yeah,
around seven years. We just got to know each other
through our classical background at the concerts, and then we
decided to teak up with some other yeah, band's maids
like with a first band where we then stood up,
(15:25):
but like we know each other for seven years, but
we worked together like at this project. We've fallen astronauts
for the like I think twenty twenty two because there
was COVID, so that wasn't really a bros going on.
I think we really kick started in twenty twenty two year. Yes, wow, man,
there is a silver lining in COVID.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
You know, a lot of businesses started, a lot of
great music was created after enduring it. So what did
you guys like, hey, let's start a duo or or
was there more members before the two of you there?
Speaker 6 (16:04):
They're actually were yes, wow, what happened? Like I said
when we met.
Speaker 7 (16:09):
At that concert during our classical series, we teamed up
with three other guys, two other guys, so this was Max,
two other guys and me.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (16:22):
That was the first first ensemble that.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
We went with. But we have to say, because you
ask what happened.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
We were mainly playing some covers and we tried to
find our own sound.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
And to create original songs.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
Because that's where we wanted to go definitely to do
it as a profession.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
To make our own music.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
But we had completely different expectations and everybody has another
like from from from the other former band made like
one was totally into metal and the other one was
more into like really soft music or even tradition music.
So I think it can be an advantage if you
(17:03):
like somehow compromise, but we we just couldn't compromise for
so for covers it was okay, but there was just yeah,
no no future for us there. So then we decided
to stood up because we had this vibe always that
we know what we went, where we wanted to go,
and to find our own sound together, and that's why
we decided to spit up. Also during COVID, as you said,
(17:27):
there was like this big break because we couldn't do
any concerts, We couldn't really see each other. There were
really strict regulations, and that's why then we said, okay,
let's just take the opportunity and let go of that
and do our own projects.
Speaker 8 (17:42):
Yeah, that's cool. So there are a couple of last
ashkronauts in space. Yeah, but that is cool. That is cool.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
This past May, for my birthday, I stayed in New
Orleans in this hotel called International house of I forget
the rest of it, but it was Bankski inspired. It
was art all over, like his real art, all over
the walls. I have so many pictures, but I was
reading that you guys are also inspired by Bankski style painting.
(18:17):
What about those images? Are that artists connected so deeply
with your identity as musical artists.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
I think the special thing about banks is he's just
like an authentic real artist. I mean, his itist is
also like amazing because like all of this urban graffiti style,
it's so aesthetic. But he's also like a real artist
because he doesn't do it really for fameous something. He
(18:47):
has also like this mysterious aura around him and it's
pretty exciting. And that's also what we are trying to do.
We also want to create, like we we don't do
it for the fame, say, we really wanted to get
our music out there, and we also wanted to create
(19:08):
like a own vibe like banks You can recognize all
his his style and his his works like from scratch.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
You can just you know it.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
You know it's Banksy when you see it, and you
never know where it pops up, maybe in public, you know.
Speaker 7 (19:23):
Yeah, of course you should know when we pull up somewhere,
like the vibe of something's over there. Yeah, you never
know and the unexpected to know, the unexpected.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah. Yeah, so if I if I see an astronaut
artwork or mascot, I know, as you guys, yeah, music
is therapeutic.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
You know.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Is there a song of yours that heal something while
you were making it? Sorry again, I was saying that
music is therapeutic, you know, from the fields to the lyrics.
You know, and you guys create music. While you are
(20:15):
creating music, have you been healed from your music? Hm?
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Hmm, It's difficult question. Healed.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
I think music is always even if you don't create
it or just listen to it. I couldn't imagine any
life without music in any way.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
That even if it's classical music, jazz or whatever you like.
Everyone has his own preference.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
So but for me, as as I personally wrote down
also some of the lyrics for the EP, it was
definitely some kind of therapy, you know, because you just
put all your emotions and your thoughts into it.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
And yeah, and you and you.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
Hope that some people get the message and maybe can
relate with that, or maybe even it helps them but
it definitely helps yourself just to put it out there.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
And if you write it down and put it into music.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
It's some kind of It's same if you go to
like PEP therapy and talk with with your with your yeah,
with someone or other person or friends, you know, like
a constant medication.
Speaker 6 (21:21):
Yeah, but that it doesn't take a toll on your body.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
Pretty much.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Yeah, Yeah, I love that. I love that. So the
person that this song is written about have they heard it?
Speaker 5 (21:38):
So since since the song is not like particularly only
for the breakup, it's I mean, the person hasn't heard
it yet. I think I think she will hear it
at some time, but since yeah, it's not that easy,
we're like not that much in contact anymore. But I
(22:02):
mean even if she, I would love that she hears
it at any point.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
In time, because I mean, it's it's.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Especially in that song a positive feeling about also some
the most of the things of the relationship. I mean
also in relationship they are ups and downs like everywhere.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
But as I.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Said, like higher should should focus on the apps. So
I think it would be positive if she listens to it.
But I don't know for a fact, So.
Speaker 7 (22:34):
I think I think there aren't enemies who don't cannot
hear the song, or who we prohibit to hear the song.
Speaker 6 (22:41):
Everybody should hear the songs and maybe hear from them.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, or you guys are just so good
writers that you know, it's hard to say who's it for.
It could be universal, Yeah, it should be universe totally.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
That's that's also what I right, So you can hold
a pen adults with this song because I think, like
as except before, everyone should make their own interpretation and
do it as relatable for them and for their their situations.
And yeah, I mean you you always hear if it's
something personal, so I mean you can guess it from
(23:19):
the head, from the lyrics.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
Yeah, but it should be universal. Music should be.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
Universal, I think in general because everyone makes something different
out of it and some some songs touch some people
and some songs not. You know, it's yeah, it's it's
depends on the person always.
Speaker 9 (23:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
All right is the time ladies and gentlemen to get
hired with Maxinie Mill with their song Higher by the
Fallen Ashana, Stay Tuned, will be right.
Speaker 10 (23:49):
Back, Hi danders Land.
Speaker 11 (24:10):
When I saw began, we had so much fun get
offendoms as now Hi dandisan.
Speaker 12 (24:18):
Give me, I'll never be done.
Speaker 11 (24:20):
Let it drow you know, yeah, we stay forever. Yeah,
the freedom that makes you feel like that fly, the
sever the reasons.
Speaker 9 (24:35):
To be crying. You said so so so.
Speaker 12 (24:52):
So, leaving every day worries far away, embracing every chance,
turn them down to today, creating any word, telling stories never.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Had thought in your way.
Speaker 11 (25:12):
Dessurants are not meant to say this awesome, of course,
makes you die and die.
Speaker 9 (25:21):
There's no bot.
Speaker 11 (25:24):
A place for us to be fried, the fried things like.
Speaker 9 (25:31):
So so so so.
Speaker 11 (25:48):
You think you'll fall, You think you fall above matter
where you are.
Speaker 10 (25:54):
Assuans are not meant to say there may be a
thing where you can only lose no matter what you do.
Escape to your neighbors, stick feeling and going and fade
away what you say.
Speaker 9 (26:10):
It feels like funny readers.
Speaker 11 (26:14):
Fall again visas.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Alright, alright, welcome back again. That was hired by Fallen Astronaut.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I love the feel of that. Yeah, I was gonna
say sound, but no, that is a feeling. I love
the feel of that song. It's so euphoric, falling backwards.
You know this one deserves a music video. I can
almost envision how it would it look. But yeah, yeah,
super dope song, super catchy. Definitely adding it to my
(27:23):
playlist and I hope you guys do as well. With that,
Let's go ahead and invite Falling Nastronuts back with us
so we could check out well, we could talk about
more things like the European Asian tour that's kicking up
this year. What is one city, guys, that you are
most excited to play in and why?
Speaker 4 (27:46):
So?
Speaker 5 (27:47):
We are pretty excited in general because it's like the
first tour we really do. So it's not a setting
stone in which cities will be like in filing the tour.
We are still in the process of setting everything up.
But we definitely will play in Germany and Austria, a
lot of concerts. I mean in our hometown Vienna. It's
always great because we just know the crowd and the people.
(28:09):
But we I think I don't know what you think about,
but I think the city I was most will be
most exciting to play is probably Sole Because we will
play in South Korea next year.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
We also have some fans and crowd there.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
We all also have been there on the radio station
like National radio and also with our last single of Colors,
and yeah, it's always great. I love the city and
I think it will be will be great. I mean
it will be also great if we could someday maybe
come to the US, But for now it's it's like
(28:49):
we don't have that much of a crowd. But hopefully
beginning from the EP, we get more and more people
in an audience also there, so we can then do
a US tour also.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
That would be cool. I think the music will sell itself,
is phenomenal. I love it.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
It would be great.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Yeah, thank you, sure so. I know working as a
duo can be tricky. How do you guys navigate disagreements
in the creative process? Do you like do like on
wrestle or you know wrestling that.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
No, we take it out in the boxing ring, I think.
Speaker 5 (29:28):
Yeah, we step into the ring sometimes we have to,
but no, mostly.
Speaker 7 (29:35):
We almost have no no disagreements in terms of music
and production.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
Whenever there might occur.
Speaker 7 (29:46):
Some some disagreements, it's mostly decisions.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
Regarding any office work, better things.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
Yeah, who to write?
Speaker 5 (29:58):
Yes, I think the fascinating thing is it can be difficult,
but for us too, when it really comes to a
musical point, we just are on the same which is
just the same vibe.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
We're on the same page and we are like really
a team.
Speaker 5 (30:16):
We became a team over the years and we always
have the same ideas.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
It's pretty crazy.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
Someone comes up with an idea and the other one
plays something or add something to it, a rip or something,
and the other one probably likes it from this from
s gradually, so we just know what we like.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
And we have the same vision and it just comes
together so easily.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
And that's also why it's so simple for us to
write songs.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
Are also pretty fast because we.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
Never have really disagreements and even when there are some
then just slightly some kind of style or give a
little touch.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
To something, but we always find them with that.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
So it's it's only when it comes down to administrative
things because we are or mainly we just wanted to
do the musician stuff like I think as most musicians.
But nowadays you have to do everything from social media
to writing, pr promotion, whatever, you know, the whole stuff,
and that's also part of the game, but it can
be some kind of frustrating them.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
Sometimes that's the only time we're getting into yeah, and we.
Speaker 4 (31:20):

(01:05):
dive deep into another interview. Before I bring my guests on,
I do want to say that this is the frequency
of the fearless. You know, sometimes music doesn't just play,
it transports. It can lift you above the noise, take
you beyond the atmosphere and leave you weightless, even if
(01:26):
only for three minutes at a time. Today's guests have
mastered that feeling, pulling from classical precision, jazz, groove, impure
indie pop soul to create something that feels both universal
and deeply personal. You're not just here for a talk show,
and this isn't just radio. This is a revival for
(01:47):
your mind, body, and soul. This is Vigilantes Radio Life.
My name is Coach Dini, and change is possible.

Well, let's go, let's go. All right, all right again,
welcome to the show. You're listening to Vigilantes Radio Live
right here on iHeart to Radio and I am your host, Deani.
Our interviews are designed to go beyond music, news, books, art, acting, films, technology, education, entrepreneurship, entertainment, spirituality,
(02:41):
and sometimes even past that thing that we call the ego.
Our interviews are designed to go behind the scenes into
the minds of these brilliant human beings, you know, the
ones who are out there giving it. They're all for me,
for you, and for the world. Well, ladies and gentlemen
from the conservatories of Vianna to the boundless suspense of
(03:01):
indie pop. Fallen Astronauts our craft and music that floats,
glows and resonates. Their latest single Higher captures the pure
lift of optimism wrapped in layer instrumentation, born from years
of classical and jazz training. With their debut mono EP
on the horizon and a European Asian tour ahead, they
(03:23):
are proven that their sound and vision has no limits.
And with that, please join me in saying welcome friend
to the Fallen Astronauts. Hey, Hey, hey, welcome to the show.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Hey, thank you for having us.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Yes, thank you absolutely, guys, Max and e mil welcome
to the show. We are so happy that you guys
are here. Before we orbit into the details, never mind
that was real cheesy. Before we just really dive into
the details of everything. What's been on your heart and minds,
are fueling your inspiration the days?
Speaker 5 (04:02):
You know, we are pretty excited since, as you mentioned,
the release of our EP is coming up.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
So we are all into like our work.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
And like transporting the message of our songs and our
EP as like the whole concept. So yeah, that's what
we are like into the last days and just to
to get our music out there. And it's so great
to get that nice feedback from so many people exactly
getting it out there.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Yeah yeah, So is there a date for the release
of the EP.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
Yeah, it will be out on the thirteenth of October,
so mid October. So because beforehand we will release some
excluded singles like Hired it's the first one. So it's
it's like the whole process till the till the EP
comes out.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
All right, cool cool, So October that's not too long
from here, and that's the that's the harvest.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Mone.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Is there a reason why you guys chose October.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
I mean, I think it's like there's so many songs
coming out in summer and also like in September normally,
and we said, like we want to like conclude the
year like or nearly like in October two to release
our songs and to have like this this time frame
beforehand so everybody can enjoy also the singles before and
then like the finale with the EP release in October.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
I like the sound of Higher, you know, it feels
light as air. I know, it's kind of hard to describe,
as you know, within the musical context. But what was
the first spark that made you want to capture weightlessness
in a song.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
I think.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
It's like our name is, it's like fallen Astroisk comes
from the idea of like floating around the universe. Like
we also we love that sound music has, like especially
in the indie pop genre. Always we have a lot
of a lot of inspiration from other artists and we
love that dreamy sounds.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
And that is also what.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Hire is about.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
It's about feeling weightless, just letting go, just feel this
uplifting beats and the whole news and just to yeah,
enjoy it and give you like a positive.
Speaker 7 (06:23):
Feeling exactly the spherical elements, the feeling of weightless.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
That's basically the thing we wanted to capture.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Yeah, And and I mean life is always about ups
and downs, and we wanted to highlight the ups like
in this song, so even if they are like downside
in life every time. Also like the Holy Peed, it's
about ups and downs and Hire should like illustrate the
great size of life and gains ramp again and just
(06:56):
enjoying it. And and that's also why we wanted to
release it as the first song. Also in summer, particularly
because it has this summer.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Vibe also a little bit funky base. Yeah, it's just HiT's.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Yeah, yeah, I love that. And then speaking of up
and down, I like the concept of falling astronauts. You know,
I love the concept of zero gravity just floating about.
But why are you guys falling and not flying astronauts?
Speaker 7 (07:28):
I think, I mean, I mean, it has some some
I think it has something.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
To do with like gravity.
Speaker 7 (07:36):
Gravity is like falling, but you fall over the edge
of Earth, for example, and then you basically fly.
Speaker 6 (07:43):
It just keep falling, but you never hit the ground.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Actually, so when.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
You're not ground to actually fly, you don't have to
worry about hitting the ground. Yeah, so we're falling in weightlessness,
so we basically, yeah, we we just flowed.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
And I think it's I think it's also more beautiful
and just flying because it illustrates more this picture of
really feeling way less.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Than floating around.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
And if we would add something like fallen, then it
would have some negative vibes. So we Yeah, so we
decided to go for falling also with the Apostophe because
it said like it's a more artistic vibe and it's
it's it that's more of everybody can interpret it their
own way a little bit more, But for us, it's
(08:32):
like just this feeling of baselessness basically exactly.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yeah, yeah, I get that, man, I get that. That
makes perfect sense. I did a free fall one time
and even though I was falling, I wasn't really falling, you.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
Know, exactly exactly. Yeah, that's the feeling we want to transportate.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Also, like the whole music.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Yeah, I love that. So you mentioned the track is
about positivity. Wait, mention that, but the track is about
positivity after a breakup. How did that personal or imagined
story takes shape in the writing? Is it a true story?
Speaker 4 (09:11):
So yeah, actually it is a true story.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
So it's for us, especially for me, it is like
a really personal epee. Also because I went through a
breakup and it was difficult, as breakups are always, and
you go through these different stages. You know of this
feeling like somehow maybe three or like you have so
(09:34):
many possibilities now, but also you're like kind of these
depressed times you always have and you think of the
old good times and little bit nostalgic. So it's also
in the ups and downs after a breakup and that's
what we also put into the lyrics.
Speaker 7 (09:51):
So yeah, exactly, but this is mainly about the ups,
so when you get a strength after that downside of
the breakup, and that's basically what hire it's about.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah, okay, so this is a positive breakup song. So
I would be does it does it give me like
encourage the breakup with by girl?
Speaker 4 (10:13):
For you?
Speaker 5 (10:16):
I Ki, I'm amazing you know you say it is
like a positive break of somebody. I mean, it shouldn't
be only about breakup. It should Yeah, it's it's a
general thing. It's it's generally about ups and lives, in
ups and downs in life. But it's like from a
person experience how we got to the song.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Let's say it.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Let's say it like that. But everybody should have their
own interpretation. There's also something which is really important to
us that our songs should always be open for interpretation.
There's nothing like the wrong or right way to see it. Also,
the lyrics we try when we write it, we try
to put our personal experiences and feelings in it, but
(10:58):
still everybody should, yeah, make their own story a little.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Bit out of it.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Yeah, yeah, So how long did it take you to
write this? The song, I don't know from scratch from
scratch not that long to be exacted.
Speaker 7 (11:18):
It's more it's more the production process that takes the time.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
Writing itself goes relatively quickly by hand.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Yeah, because if you.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Get like the lyrics and you have like this idea
and everything comes together quite fast, I would say, especially
we know each other so long now able and I
so when we write a song, it's it's really like
a stand up process already.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Yeah, almost, And so we are pretty good now at
producing many songs.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
We have a lot in the pipeline, I mean about
forty songs, but we kind of release all of them
and we don't like.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Don't want to give them all just yeah, just to
release them. But so higher it was pretty fast.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
But the production process and then you you you rewrite
some things and yeah, also with the vocals into any
kind of difficulties and then you have to change shrinks
up again.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Yeah, so I think I think the definite answer would
be around for the writing process maybe three days or
something few days, but.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Then like the whole production.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
It was like for the main e Pe we for
for Holy p we took like one year because we're
a little bit of perfectionists. And it's kind of way
I mean as many artists.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
I guess.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
So yeah, so who does the production?
Speaker 7 (12:45):
We both in a in a way we sit together
and try to get everything into into our theory the
W the W and but I have to admit the
production genius from us both his.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Email because he.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
He has he is he has the knowledge and that
always saying yeah I'm I'm the production now.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
But he has you know, email has more like the
skills that and he has like this kind of feeling
for how you should produce a song from like when
we when we write the song like from scratch. Then
it's like equally we both have ideas. I come up
with some courts, then Emil at some guitar rists and
we put everything together all too the instrument so it's.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
It's a it's a joint process. But when it comes
to the final production.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Steps, and I think it's more like emails thing also
like the raw mixing and so on.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Yeah yeah, okay, oh yeah, that's right. You guys are
multi instrumentalists.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Email.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Did you go to school for or or is it
based on just a lot of experience?
Speaker 7 (13:52):
Oh no, I did go to school it's it's a
new it's a higher it's a music college basically in
the are nice. And I also did go to music
school where I finished finished jazz piano. So yeah, that's
that's the way I went because of also my family,
which which comes from a whole classical background. Everybody in
my family plays plays instruments and also studies them. So
(14:16):
that's basically yeah, setting stone for me.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Yeah, man, I love jazz. I played a trumpet for
like seven years and then decided to go to college
to expand that knowledge of music theory, you know, and
I got to jazz and I was like, oh no,
this is a monster, so I quit school.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
So yeah, that is a superpower that you guys have
with the jazz training and classical training. So I do
have to tip my hat, applaud and stand up for
you guys because you went through that. I couldn't unfortunately,
but you guys did, and and I appreciate the music
you create. How long have you guys on each other?
Speaker 5 (15:02):
I think now it's been like seven years something like that. Yeah,
around seven years. We just got to know each other
through our classical background at the concerts, and then we
decided to teak up with some other yeah, band's maids
like with a first band where we then stood up,
(15:25):
but like we know each other for seven years, but
we worked together like at this project. We've fallen astronauts
for the like I think twenty twenty two because there
was COVID, so that wasn't really a bros going on.
I think we really kick started in twenty twenty two year. Yes, wow, man,
there is a silver lining in COVID.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
You know, a lot of businesses started, a lot of
great music was created after enduring it. So what did
you guys like, hey, let's start a duo or or
was there more members before the two of you there?
Speaker 6 (16:04):
They're actually were yes, wow, what happened? Like I said
when we met.
Speaker 7 (16:09):
At that concert during our classical series, we teamed up
with three other guys, two other guys, so this was Max,
two other guys and me.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (16:22):
That was the first first ensemble that.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
We went with. But we have to say, because you
ask what happened.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
We were mainly playing some covers and we tried to
find our own sound.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
And to create original songs.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
Because that's where we wanted to go definitely to do
it as a profession.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
To make our own music.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
But we had completely different expectations and everybody has another
like from from from the other former band made like
one was totally into metal and the other one was
more into like really soft music or even tradition music.
So I think it can be an advantage if you
(17:03):
like somehow compromise, but we we just couldn't compromise for
so for covers it was okay, but there was just yeah,
no no future for us there. So then we decided
to stood up because we had this vibe always that
we know what we went, where we wanted to go,
and to find our own sound together, and that's why
we decided to spit up. Also during COVID, as you said,
(17:27):
there was like this big break because we couldn't do
any concerts, We couldn't really see each other. There were
really strict regulations, and that's why then we said, okay,
let's just take the opportunity and let go of that
and do our own projects.
Speaker 8 (17:42):
Yeah, that's cool. So there are a couple of last
ashkronauts in space. Yeah, but that is cool. That is cool.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
This past May, for my birthday, I stayed in New
Orleans in this hotel called International house of I forget
the rest of it, but it was Bankski inspired. It
was art all over, like his real art, all over
the walls. I have so many pictures, but I was
reading that you guys are also inspired by Bankski style painting.
(18:17):
What about those images? Are that artists connected so deeply
with your identity as musical artists.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
I think the special thing about banks is he's just
like an authentic real artist. I mean, his itist is
also like amazing because like all of this urban graffiti style,
it's so aesthetic. But he's also like a real artist
because he doesn't do it really for fameous something. He
(18:47):
has also like this mysterious aura around him and it's
pretty exciting. And that's also what we are trying to do.
We also want to create, like we we don't do
it for the fame, say, we really wanted to get
our music out there, and we also wanted to create
(19:08):
like a own vibe like banks You can recognize all
his his style and his his works like from scratch.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
You can just you know it.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
You know it's Banksy when you see it, and you
never know where it pops up, maybe in public, you know.
Speaker 7 (19:23):
Yeah, of course you should know when we pull up somewhere,
like the vibe of something's over there. Yeah, you never
know and the unexpected to know, the unexpected.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah. Yeah, so if I if I see an astronaut
artwork or mascot, I know, as you guys, yeah, music
is therapeutic.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
You know.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Is there a song of yours that heal something while
you were making it? Sorry again, I was saying that
music is therapeutic, you know, from the fields to the lyrics.
You know, and you guys create music. While you are
(20:15):
creating music, have you been healed from your music? Hm?
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Hmm, It's difficult question. Healed.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
I think music is always even if you don't create
it or just listen to it. I couldn't imagine any
life without music in any way.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
That even if it's classical music, jazz or whatever you like.
Everyone has his own preference.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
So but for me, as as I personally wrote down
also some of the lyrics for the EP, it was
definitely some kind of therapy, you know, because you just
put all your emotions and your thoughts into it.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
And yeah, and you and you.
Speaker 5 (21:00):
Hope that some people get the message and maybe can
relate with that, or maybe even it helps them but
it definitely helps yourself just to put it out there.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
And if you write it down and put it into music.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
It's some kind of It's same if you go to
like PEP therapy and talk with with your with your yeah,
with someone or other person or friends, you know, like
a constant medication.
Speaker 6 (21:21):
Yeah, but that it doesn't take a toll on your body.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
Pretty much.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Yeah, Yeah, I love that. I love that. So the
person that this song is written about have they heard it?
Speaker 5 (21:38):
So since since the song is not like particularly only
for the breakup, it's I mean, the person hasn't heard
it yet. I think I think she will hear it
at some time, but since yeah, it's not that easy,
we're like not that much in contact anymore. But I
(22:02):
mean even if she, I would love that she hears
it at any point.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
In time, because I mean, it's it's.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
Especially in that song a positive feeling about also some
the most of the things of the relationship. I mean
also in relationship they are ups and downs like everywhere.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
But as I.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Said, like higher should should focus on the apps. So
I think it would be positive if she listens to it.
But I don't know for a fact, So.
Speaker 7 (22:34):
I think I think there aren't enemies who don't cannot
hear the song, or who we prohibit to hear the song.
Speaker 6 (22:41):
Everybody should hear the songs and maybe hear from them.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, or you guys are just so good
writers that you know, it's hard to say who's it for.
It could be universal, Yeah, it should be universe totally.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
That's that's also what I right, So you can hold
a pen adults with this song because I think, like
as except before, everyone should make their own interpretation and
do it as relatable for them and for their their situations.
And yeah, I mean you you always hear if it's
something personal, so I mean you can guess it from
(23:19):
the head, from the lyrics.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
Yeah, but it should be universal. Music should be.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
Universal, I think in general because everyone makes something different
out of it and some some songs touch some people
and some songs not. You know, it's yeah, it's it's
depends on the person always.
Speaker 9 (23:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
All right is the time ladies and gentlemen to get
hired with Maxinie Mill with their song Higher by the
Fallen Ashana, Stay Tuned, will be right.
Speaker 10 (23:49):
Back, Hi danders Land.
Speaker 11 (24:10):
When I saw began, we had so much fun get
offendoms as now Hi dandisan.
Speaker 12 (24:18):
Give me, I'll never be done.
Speaker 11 (24:20):
Let it drow you know, yeah, we stay forever. Yeah,
the freedom that makes you feel like that fly, the
sever the reasons.
Speaker 9 (24:35):
To be crying. You said so so so.
Speaker 12 (24:52):
So, leaving every day worries far away, embracing every chance,
turn them down to today, creating any word, telling stories never.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Had thought in your way.
Speaker 11 (25:12):
Dessurants are not meant to say this awesome, of course,
makes you die and die.
Speaker 9 (25:21):
There's no bot.
Speaker 11 (25:24):
A place for us to be fried, the fried things like.
Speaker 9 (25:31):
So so so so.
Speaker 11 (25:48):
You think you'll fall, You think you fall above matter
where you are.
Speaker 10 (25:54):
Assuans are not meant to say there may be a
thing where you can only lose no matter what you do.
Escape to your neighbors, stick feeling and going and fade
away what you say.
Speaker 9 (26:10):
It feels like funny readers.
Speaker 11 (26:14):
Fall again visas.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Alright, alright, welcome back again. That was hired by Fallen Astronaut.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I love the feel of that. Yeah, I was gonna
say sound, but no, that is a feeling. I love
the feel of that song. It's so euphoric, falling backwards.
You know this one deserves a music video. I can
almost envision how it would it look. But yeah, yeah,
super dope song, super catchy. Definitely adding it to my
(27:23):
playlist and I hope you guys do as well. With that,
Let's go ahead and invite Falling Nastronuts back with us
so we could check out well, we could talk about
more things like the European Asian tour that's kicking up
this year. What is one city, guys, that you are
most excited to play in and why?
Speaker 4 (27:46):
So?
Speaker 5 (27:47):
We are pretty excited in general because it's like the
first tour we really do. So it's not a setting
stone in which cities will be like in filing the tour.
We are still in the process of setting everything up.
But we definitely will play in Germany and Austria, a
lot of concerts. I mean in our hometown Vienna. It's
always great because we just know the crowd and the people.
(28:09):
But we I think I don't know what you think about,
but I think the city I was most will be
most exciting to play is probably Sole Because we will
play in South Korea next year.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
We also have some fans and crowd there.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
We all also have been there on the radio station
like National radio and also with our last single of Colors,
and yeah, it's always great. I love the city and
I think it will be will be great. I mean
it will be also great if we could someday maybe
come to the US, But for now it's it's like
(28:49):
we don't have that much of a crowd. But hopefully
beginning from the EP, we get more and more people
in an audience also there, so we can then do
a US tour also.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
That would be cool. I think the music will sell itself,
is phenomenal. I love it.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
It would be great.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Yeah, thank you, sure so. I know working as a
duo can be tricky. How do you guys navigate disagreements
in the creative process? Do you like do like on
wrestle or you know wrestling that.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
No, we take it out in the boxing ring, I think.
Speaker 5 (29:28):
Yeah, we step into the ring sometimes we have to,
but no, mostly.
Speaker 7 (29:35):
We almost have no no disagreements in terms of music
and production.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
Whenever there might occur.
Speaker 7 (29:46):
Some some disagreements, it's mostly decisions.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
Regarding any office work, better things.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
Yeah, who to write?
Speaker 5 (29:58):
Yes, I think the fascinating thing is it can be difficult,
but for us too, when it really comes to a
musical point, we just are on the same which is
just the same vibe.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
We're on the same page and we are like really
a team.
Speaker 5 (30:16):
We became a team over the years and we always
have the same ideas.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
It's pretty crazy.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
Someone comes up with an idea and the other one
plays something or add something to it, a rip or something,
and the other one probably likes it from this from
s gradually, so we just know what we like.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
And we have the same vision and it just comes
together so easily.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
And that's also why it's so simple for us to
write songs.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
Are also pretty fast because we.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
Never have really disagreements and even when there are some
then just slightly some kind of style or give a
little touch.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
To something, but we always find them with that.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
So it's it's only when it comes down to administrative
things because we are or mainly we just wanted to
do the musician stuff like I think as most musicians.
But nowadays you have to do everything from social media
to writing, pr promotion, whatever, you know, the whole stuff,
and that's also part of the game, but it can
be some kind of frustrating them.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
Sometimes that's the only time we're getting into yeah, and we.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Have to get five.
