They describe their sound as a tornado of sloths playing musical instruments in a hunted and bouncy castle. Freecell, takes us on a journey through their origins, their artistic inspirations and their amazing collaboration with Fashion brand Tokyo James.

Greetings Freecell, can you please introduce yourselves? Where are you from? How long have you been making music?

Hey, thanks for having us. Well, both of our names are Guy. We are based in Tel-Aviv, and we have been working together for the past 4 years. We met through our music teacher a few years ago.

How did the name “FreeCell” come about?

After two years with a pretty generic name we decided to change it. So, as we were searching for a new name we stumbled upon a site that was as enigmatic as it was perplexing. It seemed as though it had been either authored by a mad man teetering on the brink of sanity, or crafted as a time capsule for extraterrestrial archeologists to study in case humanity went the way of the dinosaurs. After a few hours of browsing through the digital chaos, we played all sorts of variations and then "FreeCell" was born.

What are your musical inspirations? Where do you draw inspiration from?

We draw inspiration from a lot of things, much of which doesn’t have anything to do with music. As for actual music, inspiration changes a lot - from Ambient Noise to Classical Music, IDM, Hip-Hop, Free Jazz, Post Punk and Alt Rock.

Freecell has also done music for fashion shows, for example Tokyo James in fashion week. How did this relationship with fashion come about?

This relationship began quite unexpectedly on social media - we came across each other's Instagram accounts and felt like we share some artistic views in common. Tokyo James mentioned an upcoming show in Milan and offered that we collaborate to create an original soundtrack for it - and it was an exciting prospect for both of us. In the following weeks, we exchanged ideas and inspirations, carefully crafting a soundtrack that would not only complement the show's visuals but also reflect our shared artistic vision. The creative process turned out to be interesting and exciting, so we figured we might as well explore some more opportunities in such fields.

How would you describe the sound you create?

We’d say it's like a tornado of sloths playing musical instruments in a hunted and bouncy castle, mayhem where comical clowns and chaotic conductors perform a side-splitting symphony.

How do you want people to feel when they hear your music?

We usually don't want to dictate how people feel when they hear our music. We may have a certain intention when creating a new piece, but how it is perceived and interpreted can vary a lot - and it is part of what makes it beautiful.

Is there anything you have coming up that your fans should be excited about?

We are planning to release another EP later this year, which will be launched with some remixes and collaborations. We are currently working on fashion show soundtracks for fashion weeks in New York and Milan, and we plan to go on a small European tour around the end of the year.
