I… this album that I’m trying to make is… I’ve taken songs off, I’ve put songs on and then I’m like “maybe I’ll just throw that one in as a hidden track.” So… maybe. And I was like “oh, like, aguamenti,”-like to get a little dirty-“it makes you wet.” And so… that’s where it comes from.Īsh: Yeah, maybe…maybe a hidden track? Maybe someday.Īsh: Definitely. I have it beat made and everything for it-but it’s called “Pickup Lines” and it’s all Harry Potter pickup lines and I really wanna record it. So… I didn’t have a name and I was writing a song-and I still have it. So why did you choose Aguamenti as your stage name?Īsh: Okay. You could start a support group.Īsh: There we go. How Airplanes Fly has the same problem his wife isn’t a fan either. So at least she read three of ’em? But she was probably one of the first people that was like “Hey, the stuff with JKR is a little iffy.” So yeah, she’s not,–she’s not a big fan, but appreciates where I come from with it. She got almost halfway through Goblet of Fire. Um, she is definitely not a Harry Potter fan at all. She said “if you like doing it, do it.” So I did and I took the jump and I love it. What made you take the plunge to start recording?Īsh: Actually my lovely wife. Took a few years off, came back and now I’m an artist and recording and that’s a lot of fun. But yeah, I… I’ve been around and following wizard rock since almost the beginning. I tried writing wizard rock then, but just some things happened with family and kind of couldn’t do it anymore. Um, as a teenager and probably like, 04-05, I found probably-I think it was the Parselmouths, on MySpace and kind of launched into everything. Can you tell me a little bit about your history with wizard rock?Īsh: Oh man. You are a newer member of the wrock community from the renaissance rather than the original era. He wants Melanie to know that “you are precious to me, to Julianna, and all the people who love you most (especially your husband with the deep, mighty voice).” “My Precious” was a special request from my excellent patron Geoff. That was MC Kreacher with “ My Precious”, The Cruciatus Curse and “ Gryffindor”, This is My Nightmare singing “Muggle Dueling Club,” and The Bandon Banshees with “ Free Tuition.” Let’s get the energy up with MC Kreacher and “My Precious.” I’ll be talking with Aguamenti, wizard rock’s very own hype wix!
