Interview: Ochrence

Ochrence is an electronic project started by Ethan Craigo, who released his second full length record in December 2012. Buy his music on BandCamp, check him out on Facebook, and YouTube.

IP Media: What led you to start Ochrence?

Ethan: Well, in fourth grade I started making music on the computer using FL Studio and I’ve been continuing that ever since. In 2009 I started posting things on the web under the name Flight 39. Eventually I decided I needed a name change, so I changed it to Ochrence [Oh-krense]. Since then I’ve released two albums, Disorder and Ochrence, and I plan to do a lot more.

Interview: Shane and Ethan of Do Your Worst

IP Media: First off, how did you come up with your name and what does it mean to you?

Shane: I’ve always loved history and I was watching a Winston Churchill speech one day and line stuck out to me. In reference to the German terror bombing of London he told the Germans “To do your worst, and we shall do our best.”. That made me really think about everyday life and how sometimes it takes someone to be a complete shithead, a horrible person for you to do your best, to show better quality, I guess. That’s what it means to me.

IP Media: The music video to “Swan Song” was incredible and unusual. Where did you get the idea for the circus theme? And what was it like filming it?

Cody: This idea was initially brought to us by Rasa [Acharya], who wrote up the treatment for the video. We immediately loved his vision of everything and added a few ideas of our own, like the addition of the young girl. The sets were so realistic and the mood was cultivated so seamlessly that it felt like we were filming a horror movie. I absolutely love all things Halloween and horror, so it was amazing to incorporate those elements into our music video.
