On March
24th, we met New-York-based French musician Joakim for a long conversation
around his newest album, Samurai. The
interview was done one week before a big three-day-long release party at the
Salo Club in Paris. We talked about New York, exile, Japanese culture,
synthesizers, creativity, game boys, dance, Joseph Conrad, cannibalism, love
and many other things.
