![]() Was it scary or a great relief to do things differently, to break a certain routine? Let the songs with the strongest identities float up to the top, regardless of what style of music they are.’’ Let the music come and let it be what it wants to be. I also decided that I would try and write away from the acoustic guitar as much as possible in order to draw something new out of myself. ,I decided very early on that I would not reach into my archive of unreleased songs whatsoever (something I haven’t done since 2003’s `Lights Out’), thus forcing myself to create an entirely new work from a blank canvas. How did you handle the writing process this time, and how did that experience feel? ,It was like getting a new lover’’– Mick Moss Especially the albums closing song, ,Liquid Light’’, which shines a light onto how the spokespeople of the ’66/’67 acid scene suddenly went quiet on the subject a few years later, yet never had the balls to come out publicly and say ”you know kids, maybe our message was a bit naive and irresposible”…. I’m really proud of what I managed to get out here. It was a really intense way of working, but the result is enormous. ![]() I’ve never done that before, usually I just start on the lyrics and build things in my head, but `Black Market Enlightenment’ saw me filling up notepads before I took pen to paper lyrically. I spent months writing basically a thesis on what I wanted to say, what angles I wanted to attack the subject from. ,I went the extra mile on the lyrics, not that I don’t usually, I do. What are you getting off your chest lyric-wise? ,This 7th Antimatter album takes a long, hard look into the period of my life from 1991-1996, a period which started with me seeing certain substances as being here specifically for spiritual enlightenment, peaked with me developing an addiction, and ended with me being diagnosed with psychosis, having daily panic attacks, suffering from derealisation, agoraphobia, chronic paranoia… you know, typical enlightenment stuff.’’ In a nutshell, what are you offering the fans with `Black Market Enlightenment? After hearing the enchanting and impressive endresult of `Black Market Enlightenment’ HeadBangers LifeStyle contacted Mick to talk about the ins and outs of `Black Market Enlightenment’. Not only did he analyze a very dark periode in his life, the multi-instrumentalist and singer also started creatively from scratch and above all decided going DIY when it was time to release the album. Moss, who faced a bunch of personal demons over the years, recently made some drastic decisions and therefor took quite a jump while making his new album `Black Market Enlightenment’. Patterson formed Íon and Moss continued under the banner Antimatter though, but now using the project as his own personal outlet, which resulted in the excellent albums `Leaving Eden’, `Fear Of A Unique Identity’ and `The Judas Table’. Their tremendous creativitey resulted in beautiful, intriguing and outstanding songs, but after releasing three fantastic albums both musicians decided to follow their own musical path. The origin of the melancholic, progressive rock band Antimatter goes back to the late 90s, when Anathema bass player Duncan Patterson and singer, songwriter Mick Moss joined forces together in 1998 for a new project they called Antimatter. Had the interactions of the particles and antiparticles with gravity been different, the measurements would have produced different results, the scientists argued.Decemby Liselotte `Lilo' Hegt - More about our team The experiment provided results that are four times more precise than what had been achieved previously, the scientists said in a statement (opens in new tab).īecause the experiment was conducted on Earth, the particles were under the influence of the planet's gravity. The researchers fed antiprotons and negatively charged hydrogen ions (as a substitute for protons) into the device and measured how they circled around. ![]() This device can store charged particles in a magnetic field, making them circle around with a frequency that corresponds to the magnetic field's strength and the particle's charge-to-mass ratio. How exactly did they measure it? They used a device called the Penning trap, named after the early 20th-century physicist Frans Penning. In the experiments, conducted over an 18 month period at CERN's antimatter factory (yes, such a place really exists), the scientists found that matter and antimatter particles responded to gravity in the same way, with an accuracy of 97%. A recent experiment conducted at The European Organization for Nuclear Research (known by its French acronym, CERN) in Switzerland suggested that the interactions of the matter and antimatter with gravity, the fundamental force governing many processes in the universe, is not what differentiates them. ![]()
