Who or what is sighborg?
Sighborg (usually with rolling letters like sssssighborg siiiighborg) is my nickname. I write artsy electronic/instrumental music and dudes help me play it live.
What inspires your music?
Swear words, things I don't like, chicks.
How long have you been making music?
I guess since High School- but it's been pretty primitive throughout.
Where are you from?
I'm from California- in the mountains. I honked around Sacramento and San Francisco for a bit.
How long have you been involved in the Korean music scene?
3 years-- I recently became deeply involved last year when I launched SuperColorSuper and started taking music DEEPLY SERIOUS (stoneface).
What is your favorite thing about Korea?
Right now I'm a bit on a down vibe with Korea because of some other things going on, but I love the food. That answer sucks.
What is your least favorite thing about Korea?
Fucked-up (sorry the language) ideas about elder respect/ego, garbage laws.
What Korean bands are you currently listening to?
Unfortunately there aren't any Korean records yet that got me- I think production teams lack a bit and haven't put together good recordings. The things I have listened to are that old band with the Underwear name- Eloise and 10 have a few good mp3's. Live I love 3rd Line Butterfly, Trampauline, Vidulgi Ooyoo, Axcutor. Kim Jung Mi the old psyche korean singer is rad.
Any upcoming shows we should check out?
Round Robin-- all the bands set up in a circle at the same time with the audience in the middle, all the bands do a song at a time with no pauses between bands/genres. Freebird Feb 26th. Also Super Sketch is an awesome art live music combine- March 12th theater zero.
What do you think of the Korean crowd?
Some large parts of the crowd are too formal or too into Brit rock, but lately encounter really passionate, deep-thinking rad fans.
best!

Delusion that what I feel and believe now is true.

One of those university years? I bought myself a guitar and made some phrases without knowing how to play it properly.

One day I was lost in the dark and realized I’ve got nothing to lose more. So I started doing this which I had been telling I was going to do but I wasn’t doing.

Trampauline—a self title album
Do you plan to make any EP’s or Albums in the near or distant future?
This year, 2nd album
What is your favorite gig that you have played?
Duriban 51 show. I kinda screwed, but the audience was amazing.
What has been your favorite moment as a band?
When I’ve suddenly decided to kick my high heels off and danced while performing. There were about 5 people watching my show and it was very ungraceful, dancing on barefoot hehe. .
What has been your least favorite moment as a band?
Same as above.
What has been your most successful moment as a band?
Everytime I get paid after each show. I feel successful
What are some of your favorite Korean indie bands?
love busking poets “Cabinet sinalongs” . Always on beautiful folk maladie “Atombook”’s side.
구남과여라이딩스텔라” will be loved ever n ever. I saw “ankle attack/ quarkpop/ 밤섬해적단/ 얄개들/ 불싸조” shows and dig them.. “Hanvad(Yamagata tweakster/amateur amplifier )” rules.
404 should be a new nice act to go check out (me not yet)
What do you think of the Korean indie scene?
It’s a society that I am at and I am alright with it.
How could the indie scene be improved?
We are self improving now, no rush. Just watch us how we beautifully do it.
Which people or organizations do you think are important in the Korean indie scene?
Don’t know much about who’s the most influential, I can only tell my favorite. If you are keen on left field, follow the act of 자립음악가협회/ texture&fragile
I noticed you are signed, does that means you don’t have to work now ?
I’ll remain quiet about this ㅎㅎ
