Feature: Baime [Interview] Hi guys, nice to talk with you today! How are you considering the situation and the industry shutdown? The world is on fire at the moment in so many different ways. For us personally in Denmark, it does not have that big an impact compared to other countries. We are not entirely reliant on music income but for our colleagues this is horrible. We can’t really say much besides that we hope that things will change for the better soon. We hope that artists around the world are using this time to perhaps make some music and also get a good sleep pattern for a while and exercise. God knows we need it. What keeps you positive during these times? Technology has actually helped mitigate missing family and friends. Using Facetime has been very nice to keep in touch. Following guidelines has worked rather well in Denmark, so we are actually opening up slowly already. Turning off social media for a while to avoid becoming too focused on what is wrong. Eating and drinking well are proba Read More
