The Obelisk Questionnaire: Florent Sicard of Stone From the Sky
The Obelisk Questionnaire is a series of open questions intended to give the answerer an opportunity to explore these ideas and stories from their life as deeply as they choose. Answers can be short or long, and that reveals something in itself, but the most important factor is honesty.
Based on the Proust Questionnaire, the goal over time is to show a diverse range of perspectives as those who take part bring their own points of view to answering the same questions. To see all The Obelisk Questionnaire posts, click here.
Thank you for reading and thanks to all who participate.
The Obelisk Questionnaire: Florent Sicard of Stone From the Sky
—
How do you define what you do and how did you come to do it?
I play guitar with my friends. When I was young, a friend gave me his old guitar, I thought it was the best thing to do all day and I still think that way after 20 years.
Describe your first musical memory.
Music video for Jamiroquai’s “Deeper Underground” song, from the 1998 Godzilla soundtrack. The bass synth line blown me away instantly.
Describe your best musical memory to date.
The first time I saw Neurosis live in 2007 at the Hellfest Festival. It completely change my perception of music.
When was a time when a firmly held belief was tested?
I thought it was normal to eat animals and use animals products but after talking with people and self reflection, I’ve been vegan for 6 years now and that’s cool!
Where do you feel artistic progression leads?
To being self confident about your music and happy in what you’re doing.
How do you define success?
When people listen to your music just because they love it, not because it was on a playlist or radio.
What is something you have seen that you wish you hadn’t?
A video of a dog tortured for the Yulin Festival. That thing shouldn’t exist.
It popped up one day on my feed on a social network, it was a very bad day.
Describe something you haven’t created yet that you’d like to create.
My own brand of effect pedal. I love make them for me but there are already thousands of brands on the market.
What do you believe is the most essential function of art?
Bring joy and gather people together.
Something non-musical that you’re looking forward to?
Win Euromillions to never work again in my life.
