【인터뷰】 젊은 선예 라벨 Infinite Machine이란?
interviewer: IRIKI (Radd Lounge)| translator: Tatsuya Yamamoto
■ 라벨명에 매우 깊은 의미는 없지만, 때와 함께 발전해 와서 「시간이 지나도 견딜 수 있다」라는 의미가 있다고 지금은 느끼고 있어요.
- Nicholas James Concklin, Liar와 함께 공동 운영을 하고 있는 것 같습니다만, Infinite Machine 탄생 비화 등이 있으면 가르쳐 주세요.

You run Infinite Machine together with Nicholas James Concklin and Liar. How did it come into being???- Liar got more involved after working on his debut mini-album “Strange Love” for Infinite Machine. From mastering our releases, writing the press releases to acting as a consultant. Then he went onto launching his own label. Though is still a part of the core of the label.??Nicholas approached me sometime in 2013 and nowadays he does technical aspects for the label."
Why did you name it "Infinite Machine"? Is there any meaning behind the logo?
"라벨 이름에 "Machine"이라는 말을 사용하고 싶었어. 그렇다면 당시 몬트리올에서 룸메이트였던 친구의 프로듀서 Seapooint가 "Infinite Machine"이라는 이름을 생각해 냈어. 의미는 기계처럼 논스톱으로 음악을 계속 발매한다는 말이야. 로고는, Teodoro Zamudio 라고 하는 아티스트가 디자인했다. 심플하고 우아한 로고를 원했습니다. "
"Why did you name it "Infinite Machine"? Is there any meaning behind the logo???- I remember wanting to use the word “Machine” for the label until my friend, producer Seapoint, who was also at the time my roommate in Montreal, came up with the word “Infinite Machine” to complement the name for the label. ??The idea was to act as a machine and release music non stop. There's nothing too deep behind the label name but I guess it has evolved through the time and I feel now means that this institution will endure in time. The logo was designed by the artist, Teodoro Zamudio and we wanted a logo that was simple and elegant.??"
- 펑크와 하드 코어 가치의 근본은 어디에서 태어났습니까? 정치와 환경 등입니까?
I feel you have the same kind of values as punk and hardcore. Does this come from the politics or the environments?
"라벨의 운영 방침으로 해도 뭐든지, 정치적으로는 되지 않게 하고 있다. 하지만, 확실히 펑크나 하드 코어와 같은 환경에 영향을 받고 있어.스크림이나 포스트 하드 코어이거나, DIY인 장면에 관여하는 밴드이거나.

I feel you have the same kind of values as punk and hardcore. Does this come from the politics or the environments???- We are not trying to be too political about things and how we manage the label but we do come from punk and hardcore environments. From playing in screamo, post-hardcore, etc bands to all around being involved with the DIY scene. ?"
ー 111X나 Ziúr, WWWINGS 등, Infinite Machine으로부터 수많은 아티스트가 세상에 송출되어 각광을 받는 계기가 되고 있는 것처럼 보여집니다만, 그 중에서도 개인적으로 추억이 있는 작품은 있습니까?
Infinite Machine has produced many artists, which seems to be the reason for having acquired worldwide recognition. Which one is your unforgettable work?
""Strange Love"는 컬트적인 걸작 레코드가 되는 작품이라고 생각해."

"I think “Strange Love” by Liar is that kind of work that became a cult classic record.?"
■ 그와의 만남은, 내가 운명이라고 말할 수 있는 몇 안되는 기회의 하나군요.
ー Tomás Urquieta와의 만남은?
How did you get to know Tomas Urquieta?
“그의 데뷔 EP를 듣고, 그의 음악에 무언가 특별한 것을 느꼈기 때문에 곧 연락을 했다. , 당시 제가 걸고 있던 것 같은 음악에 흥미를 가지고 있다고 알았다. 있던 밴드였어!」

I remember approaching him after I listened to his debut EP. There was something very special about his music that I instantly connected with it. It's one of those rare times where I say it was meant to be that , i learned he was also into the music I used to played back then and I just recently found out while he was on tour in Mexico that he used to be in a band called Vlado Petrik which i remember talking to someone from that band via SLSK sometime around 2006??? and it turned out to be it was him!」
