Hi Ferry! Firstly, congratulations on the release of your album Blueprint. Ithas been no time at all since the albums release and its already being toutedas a game changer for the genre. How does it feel to be at the receiving endof such a positive response?

Hi There! Thanks for interviewing me. Im absolutely over the moon with the response of my fans and reviews regarding the album. It was a really long process to make the album, blood, sweat, and tears, but seeing the responses, it was worth all the work.

We have always seen you being extremely inclined towards sci-fi and weconstantly see you questioning the beginning of the universe and its creationswith your tracks. How did the idea for blueprint come about? Does this albumanswer all your questions?

Ever since I was a little kid, Ive been a big sci-fi fan. The interest in the unknown and what lies beyond that always grabbed me. For this project I had a chance to work with both my favourite interests, scifi and music. So this was actually a no brainer. When I hooked up with David it was great to work together and build a storyline from my idea. The album definitely gives me some answers to some questions Ive had, or rather shares in a concept level what various possibilities can be.

How did the collaboration with David H. Miller happen? How was yourexperience working with him?

I got to meet the David (the screenwriter) from my manager who was a friend of his. We hit it off very well and working together was easy and fun. The flow was fantastic. Working on the storyboard and at the same time the music definitely inspired me in creating the flow and mood of each track that was to be made.

Can we see you working on upcoming albums with a similar concept or bycollaborating with a writer?

I always say never say never. I dont want to pigeon-hole myself to a corner that all my albums will have a story or collaborated with a writer, but it was always a dream I had and glad that I took the time to do it. I must say the process of creating this album was absolutely amazing.

The album follows a storyline. It has a lot of pieces that come together as yougo with the flow of the album. You will also be going on a Blueprint albumtour. What can fans expect to see on this tour? Can we probably see a tourconcept coming up which uses visuals along with audio to recreate this storyon a larger platform to give the fans a complete musical and sci-fi experience?

We definitely have a lot of visuals made for this album that I will be using for the tour. I definitely want clubbers to enjoy the experience of the music and not entirely of the audio story so there will be snippets here and there but it will not be an album listening session. That is for sure. At the end of the day, the album was also for the music, so my fans will becoming to listen to that.

You recently visited the NASA John F Kennedy Space Centre! How was yourexperience there? Can we expect it to inspire any of your work in the future?

It was AMAZING!!!! Im so lucky to be able to have gotten that opportunity. It was a dream come true. It was definitely inspiring, but actually more jaw dropping.

We see you working with a little bit of Morse code on this album. You haveearlier used Morse code on L.E.F too. What is the message you are trying tosend out through it? And how did the fascination for Morse code arise?

Yes I did on L.E.F and there was an actual meaning connected to it. It was so cool to see how some people deciphered it too. Ive always been fascinated about morse code. Its music, theres a tone and a rhythm. Music communicates to people in different forms.

We saw you use a very different strategy to release your album where fanshad to unlock parts of the album which would take them to the next step. Howdid it work for the album? Was it carried out to give more of a mysterious feelto the album?

It was a lot of fun to see how my fans were curious about the album. We did it because we wanted to have a more mysterious feel, and at the same time, due to its complexity allow people to understand the flow of how the album is played.

Who is Lucas in the album based on? Does it represent you?

Hahahaha, maybe just a little bit. Im nerdy enough to be Lucas but not that much of a loner

Finally, do you have any message you would like to send to all the peoplelistening to the album? Any suggestions as to how one can enhance theiroverall album listening experience?

Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to my album. Ive been following my social media closely when my album was released because I was curious ( and yes ) a bit nervous on what the feedback would be like. Im touched and grateful for the positive responses Ive seen so far. I love it that some people have gotten the concept on the first listen, Im honoured that some continued and ended up falling in love with the album and have kept listening to it over and over again. Although I do love every track Ive made , Ive always felt that when I listen to the audio in the beg, it helped me set the mood of the meaning of the song. Again, thank you for your support and allowing me to do this.
