1. Most people in music grew up in a family with lots of music. 
When you were young, what did you listen to alot?

I did not come from a family of musicians but my family always loved music
and my parents had a lot of records. They listened mostly to Pink Floyd 
and Supertramp, but let’s not forget that I grew up in the 80’s, 
so there was a lot of  The Cure, Depeche Mode and New Order going 
around and I used to listen too that when I was a kid.

2. Do you still listen to that?

            Yes, of course. These bands are still amongst my favourites, 
although I listen to a lot of different things now.

3. What was the most romantic thing that ever happened to you?

            Eheh! *blushes* Life is full of little romantic moments. 
I really can’t name a special one, because every romantic 
moment is unique and unforgettable.

4. We know you had a swim with whales, how was it?

            I love animals and I love working with them.
It’s what I do besides music. Recently, a very young whale showed up 
at a Portuguese beach, lost without his family. 
He was taken to a rehabilitation facility, where he is recovering from
trauma and being taken care of while he’s just a baby. 
When he’s able do swim and feed by himself, he’ll be back to sea.
I had the opportunity to help with that project and it included being
in the water for hours with the little whale, interacting as much as possible, 
urging him to play, helping him feed… that kind of things.
It was a fantastic experience, something I shall never forget, 
because whales are such peaceful and, on the other hand, 
playful animals that no one can avoid feeling amazed by them.

5. When you were a little girl, what would you 
liked to be when you were a
 grown up?

            Fortunately for me, when I was a child, I wanted to be exactly what I am now.
I’ve always loved music, so being a musician was always a dream. 
On the other hand, I always wanted to be a vet, and now here am I,
swimming with whales. *lol*

6. What is your biggest fear?

            To lose irreversibly any of my beloved ones is my biggest fear. 

7. You are preparing to play live. What are your expectations on that?

            We’ve just started working on that and I hope we’ll be able to play live
in the beginning of 2007. I’m very enthusiastic about that because
we are arranging everything to the minimum detail and I’ve very curious
about how the songs will sound like and how people are going to respond to them.

8. You are responsible for the visible part of In[Perfektion], 
what can we expect?

            Well, I take care of the visuals as long as CD cover and website 
design is concerned and promotional pictures as well.
I like to associate a special mood to every song we do and take inspiration 
on that to do the artwork. That’s why our promotional pictures for Evilution have, 
each one, the name of a song. Each of them was inspired by that song’s mood 
and made especially to fit in it.

9. You make awesome pictures as well. 
What inspires you when you take pictures?

            Thanks! 8) I do photography as an hobby and I feel very flattered when
people enjoy my work, although I do it just for fun and I don’t have 
any specialized knowledge in that
field. I like to portray melancholy,
sensuality, even some aggressiveness… 
Most of the times, a sketch of what I want a picture to look like comes to my head 
and then I start working to make it look just like it.
Sometimes, I realize it won’t work afterall, but there are sometimes
when the final product is even better than what I’ve imagined 
and that’s what has kept me doing this for some time now.

10 What are your dreams and goals for the future?

I really want to finish university and I’d like to work with wild animals, 
mainly in rehabilitation of wounded animals and their return to wildlife.
Also, I want to keep working on In[Perfektion] and I hope we can fulfil our
dream to play live in many different countries and see our work become 
known and appreciated by people all over the world.

11. What is the strangest thing you have ever bought?

            Ahah! This one really made me think hard! I think that might be a winter coat for my dog. 
*LOL* He’s very tiny and he’s always shivering in winter, so I bought him a warm 
and
impermeable doggy coat.


Thanks Charlotte for this interview.
Hugs and kisses from us all.
