Are you on vacation or do you live in Koh Phangan? For how long? How did you come to know about the island?
I came to Thailand on a three week vacation to visit the country. I first came to Koh Phangan with some friends to meet friends and we were supposed to stay for only a couple of days...ahahah!...in the end, we stayed up until the end of our trip...we have been Koh Phangan trapped!!!
What are your thoughts on Koh Phangan? Has your experience been inspiring in any way? How so?
Koh Phangan is a magical island where everything is possible and anything can happen! This Thai paradise location is the temple of party (as Goa in India) but on a grander scale. You can find all kinds of electronic music ranging from techno to deep house, minimal to trance music, and much more! Likewise goes for Phangan's local residents; so incredibly different are the kinds of people who make this party magic appear! As a percusionist in an organic trance band (or accoustic tekno music) called Goayandi, I have done, and continue to do, many parties and festival, but Koh Phangan's really got something different about it...something more. Their celebration is a six month festival, everyday party, each party's got his after party, and when the after party's over, the next party (the after-after-party) is already ON! When people ask me: "What have you done in Thailand?", I answer: "I LEARNED HOW TO PARTY".
When, where, and how did you meet the Alien SiSTARS? Did you contact them or did they contact you to be alienized?
I met the Sisters at SP Resort's restaurant while I was having dinner after a party. They were having their meal sitting at the table next to ours as I was chilling with my friends and playing my djembe. They immediately invited me to perform at Jungle Experience drumming; but first, to visit their home laboratory, a huge beautiful mess in full colors, and full of everything!
When and where did you get transformed into an alien? What is your opinion of the party and its location?
The next day was the Jungle Party so i met up with them again, first in their laboratory where we started my mutation with body painting, then continued the transformation in the Jungle! I was trapped for the second time during my trip! Ahahah!
In the Sistars interview, they explain that when body painting they are transferring positive alien data into the skin of human beings. Did you feel any symptoms from their data transfer? If so, what are they? Did the alien transformation have any effect on your natural human behavior?
Their shamanik psykedelik alien body art gave me power! I was connecting completely with the whole party and with planet Koh Phangan...magic was ON! That night, and the following days, I met the crazy me deep inside myself. I was really crazy; but always in a good way. I partied for three days straight as if possessed by the god of party!
Did your new alien super powers make you feel any differently than you normally would have without them?
That alien me doesn't make me feel any different, but it does give me strenght and craziness; it also helped me to improve my natural power!
Was your experience memorable or special in any way? How so? Would you be willing to have them transform you again?
It was a really good experience to be body painted by them and it's good way to party...I'll do it again whenever they want! Andrea, Luana, and Patrizia are such magical, beautiful, human-aliens that it lead to a powerful meeting. Thank you for your art and the experience. I 'll be back soon! Riiiiiiiide ON; we are psychadelic travelers!!! Ride On! Bandaiiiiiiiiiiiiii.
Here's a video for you to see Goayandi perform...don't miss your chance to see them live if you can!!! :D Enjoy ;)
