Behind the music - i n n e r l i z z a r d s
Limerick producer, singer and songwriter Rory Hall aka Proper Micro NV has released his latest single, I Want To Cry But I Can't, under his new project, i n n e r l i z z a r d s. We asked him the BIG questions . . . Speaking about his new venture, he says, "I've been working as Proper Micro NV for 10 years now (which shocks me to even say). I love working on the project and I will absolutely continue to do so. "Over the last year or two however, I've had a burning desire to start a new project. I want to create, and i n n e r l i z z a r d s will hopefully be the mega-massive release of thoughts and feelings that I think I've always needed. "My plan is to take this one step at a time. I don't want to get lost in a machine. I just want to release, wait and hopefully see. Throw another plate on!" Tell us three things about yourself . . . I'm an Irish singer and producer who works under both i n n e r l i z z a r d s and Proper Micro NV. I've played festivals and venues all around Ireland and the UK - Electric Picnic, Latitude, Body and Soul and the Dublin Castle etc. I love my dogs! How would you describe your music? I suppose electronic has always been a baseline for me and then it's just a case of what I start building around that. At the moment, it's quite lo-fi and a little bit R&B. I suppose it's emotional music this time around. Who are your musical inspirations? A bit of everything really. My main inspirations in terms of live music would be artists like Basement Jaxx, Gorillaz and Grace Jones. People who put on big live shows and do it so well. I've been listening to a lot of The Cure and Baxter Drury lately. I love anything that taps in to my emotion as well as my performative side. What was the first gig you ever went to? Grace Jones at Electric Picnic in 2015. She blew my mind and kind of changed everything. What a phenomenal performer. I distinctly remember the crowd waiting and waiting in anticipation, the curtains finally opened on stage and she was standing on this huge platform wearing something amazing. The definition of a star. I remember leaving the stage thinking to myself – did that just happen? What was the first record you ever bought? As far as I can remember it was a Gorillaz record (Demon Days). My Dad used to play it on tape in his van when it first came out. I remember it being the first record that fully took me in. What's your favourite song right now? At the moment it's Genius of Love by Tom Tom Club. I was in New York earlier this year and heard it playing out loud in a restaurant. It's been stuck in my head since. Favourite lyric of all time? "I wish I didn't miss you anymore" - Wish I Didn't Miss You by Angie Stone. It's such a beautiful song and lyric and the way she sang it was just so striking. What a great voice she had. If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be? Raindrops by Basement Jaxx. I love their music and the way the records are always so busy. It's a really unique production style that you don't really find often. Where can people find your music/more information? On Spotify as i n n e r l i z z a r d s. Instagram. Alan Corr
