Interview with Evgeny Tokarevsh

Who do you consider yourself to be – painter, poet, musician or you don’t care?
There’s a word “artiste” in French – I consider myself one.

Does one need to worry about anything in this life?
In my opinion, one doesn’t need to worry. Worry and despair won't help to run one's business.

What do you not care about?
I don’t like carelessness.

What role does the music play in your life – what do you need it for?
It's a part of me. I can't imagine my life without music. In fact, music is my breath and my life.

Can one be a musician without knowing how to play a single musical instrument?
It depends on the person in question.

Digital graphics to your tracks is the same form of art as painting?
It's a kind of work of art. Something like illustration and book graphics.

What was the last thing you were listening to?
“On the Sun”. AuktYon.

You cooperate with the Art-Most platform. Why? Because you like what they do or because a friend asked you to?
If I didn’t like it, I wouldn’t cooperate!

What is a music project you’d like to be part of?
Depends on the offer…

What’s the best band of all time?
I don’t make such judgements.

Who needs what you do?
Hopefully someone does.

Who needs you?
God and my wife.

What makes you get up and work?
My conscience.

Is living hard?
I wouldn’t say so.

Is it interesting answering these questions?
Interesting.
