Q&A
............
With Aydra Jenson, writer/visionary of Starsix...speaking in 2'nd person.
Q: What exactly is StarSix; a band, a circus, a pop act...define it
A: The premise to StarSix is unique. To begin, its all of the above, not only is StarSix a group or band but its an entire production, an interactive live show. Aydra Jenson, the producer- is also a pop artist, because she sings, dances and spreads a message that appeals to a broad audience.
Q: So its pop music...
A: Its pop-rock with a dark, trancy and melodic flare
Q: And how does the sound appeal to most audiences?
A: StarSix's sound is very universal, it can be placed by the terms; epic, melodic, dramatic, accelerating. Its a journeys to a trance-like state that allows the listener to check out of this world and into the next...a world of the future. Kids in-particular
will enjoy this because they are willing to accept such a place exists. However, this could pertain to any age group, especially parents who have children and have opened themselves up o being childlike again and even new agers, seekers and christians. In Europe and parts of Japan and China this kind of sound or "feeling" in music is highly accepted.

Q: So in general the sound is happy and uplifting?
A: Some pieces, but since the writing reflects not only Aydras breakthroughs but her struggles as well, there are many songs that speak to dark and mysterious parts of existence and love too of course.
Q: How is all this represented on stage?
A: Its an entire sensory package. It entails a stage set-up similar to P!nk or Madonna as there may be a few levels for musicians and performers. There are typically 2 to 4 dancers, also back-up singers dressed futuristic-hip with a primal or indigenous flare. They are generally younger, with that animated character look. Many of them are skilled in aerial and fire arts, however there is no fire used on stage, only high-powered LED lights that are attached to poi, staffs or hoops for lighting affects...these are also safe and cost/energy efficient.
Q: So there will be some aerial rigs hung at each show?
A: Yes, similar to something Paula Abdul did at her shows having two rigs on either side of the stage that can host multiple harnesses, say a trapeze and/or a sling, straps, ropes...ya know anything you can swing from.
Q: And will Aydra perform with these tools as well?
A: She will, they are both immense passions for her and have been since childhood, she will do much of her own choreography, or simply improv, these performances will be saved for dramatic entrances and exits as well as during some instrumental points of the show.

Q: So starsix has live musicians as well as technical djs, vjs and engineers?
A: Yes, similar to Bjork as well as many modern day alternative rock bands like Linkin park and Incubus. Aydras band will however, evolve from studio professionals, Djs who can mix in musical layers either Aydra or other producers engineer. StarSix will also incoorperate drummers, stringed instruments and keys on stage. The Vj work will involve some artistic concepts Aydra has illustrated involving warrior-fantasy like characters doing tricks and mandala shapes being built and taken apart virtually from the screen.
Q: Would you place StarSix's music more in the category of Bjork or Tori?
A: It would fall in-between, probably leaning more towards Toris style of heavy melody, rock and piano. However, there are many electronic influenced songs as well and lyric content which would be more similar to Bjork.
Q: What other music has influenced StarSIx?
A: Defiantly Tool, early 90's grunge rock, floyd and fleetwoodmac, newer alternative artist like Evanescence, 30 seconds to mars, FireFlight, incubus, system of a down, Dredge, imogen heap, even kelly clarkson!!!
Q: What about the Trance influence?
A: Aydra was heavily into the rave scene for many years and followed some very famous cybertrance Djs who actually ended up helping her become a dj for a while and supported her like family. They were known for pioneering cybertrance into the US from Europe and the UK.

Q: What can the public expect out of StarSix in the media?
A: A well-developed new artist who speaks and delivers a message, who is unafraid of total exposure, willing to give everything to reach as many people as possible; radio, podcasts, internet merch, a worldwide tour (that is if fans demand it!) which strives for sustainability and conservation, but also shows up as an entire sensory experience on stage with cutting edge sound and lighting!
Q: So what IS the message of StarSix?
A: To prepare for the future by empowering yourself in the present and knowing your past. To become a warrior and embrace the journey, realize your true role in this life and approach the fight to save humanity and the planet in a tactful, responsible way, thats still Fun!
Q: Is this the only message of StarSix? there must be more...!
A: The show and music is done in a way that simply appeals to anyone, if they choose it, many of the themes are simple ones; love, acceptance, separation, desperation, evolution, the heros journey, but the "feeling" remains the same, which is one of empowerment, inspiration and courage for the future.
Q: Finally, theres a leak that StarSix may acutally be a movie in the making! can you give us any hints.
A: Aydras not talking about it too much as she is yet to formulate the entire concept! But The StarSix Theory is a storyboard in the making, no doubt people over at Disney and pixar will catch on soon enough...keep your eyes peeled- media is changing all around us...and its very exciting considering the trouble were faced with right now, our world is accelerating towards a gigantic shift and the question now is to meet it with fear or love.

Thank you for your time, I'm sure StarSix will be a hit!
