Tanja collects antique instruments and wildly dances to hardcore music.


Music is something spontaneous for me. I don't think very much about it, like what feeling or message I'm trying to give through the music it's all mixed with how the moment really feels, I think about it later. When people ask me, "What are you singing about?" "What's the feeling behind it?" sometimes I don't know myself at first.
With "Time ticks by and there you are" it's so much about time. How I am spending my time, using it for instance when I'm creative in my own rhythm, or paying tribute to the "Rock star" a dolled-up figure, this theme can again be sort of seen with head and heart in "cut your mind out and maybe you are real- what do you think?"
Music is sometimes for me like a dream. I think we are often more honest to ourselves in our dreams than we have the strength to be within our everyday lives. Music is then an alternative to daily life. I think it's not so much an escape from reality but more like a symbol of different realities in a language that is not given enough attention in our daily routines.
