Host: How do we decide a national treasure. Well, I am not going to be diplomatic. I am going to just call it. I am Angelica from watchmojo.com. And today I sit down with the National Parcs. So I am here with the National Parcs. Let us quickly introduce ourselves.
Chimwemwe Miller: Well my name is Chimwemwe and I take care of the music and the lyrics in the band along with the Freew orm over there.
Ian Cameron: My name is Ian. I am the Director of the videos for the project.
Vincent Lettellier: My name is Vincent, Freew orm. So I make music and the lyrics along with Chimwemwe.
Host: Let's talk a little bit about National Parcs. The evolution from the Freew orm Project and why you spell it the French way?
Chimwemwe Miller: Ian and myself were hired by Vincent, Freew orm to help promote his first and second albums. So we were working together for about five, six years doing shows and we just after a while we realized we wanted to create together and that's when we decided to call at the National Parcs and start from the ground up.
Vincent Lettellier: We spell it the French way because obviously with my accent you can tell that I am a 100% Montrealer.
Chimwemwe Miller: He is a Quebequer or he is Québécois.
Vincent Lettellier: And therefore we had to keep a bit of the heritage within the name of the band.
Host: It's actually a really beautiful story. This whole timber vision idea and going out and you are singing from -- you are doing it in the woods and stuff. So can you elaborate on that for the watchmojo audience.
Vincent Lettellier: Ian is the video director and we are both the musicians. So we went out, smack in the middle of the woods. We would choose like let's say the close to lake, we would go close to lake and then we would take the canoe and take the paddles and take whatever would make any sort of sound and improvise and make beats with everything that we found around and then we come, we would come back to the studio cut that up and then make songs with the videos.
Host: Talk to me about my space, about how you would classify yourself if you have to because --
Chimwemwe Miller: Well, I think on my space and in stores and in interviews if we have used certain terms to classify ourselves it's simply because of a lack of other terms. When it comes down to it anybody asks us what is our genre -- we don't have a genre. That's an audio visual. It's audio visual, it's the National Parcs genre. Pretty much if you want to hear our sound you have to buy our album and you listen to us you know.
Vincent Lettellier: I am with them. Host: How do we decide a national treasure. Well, I am not going to be diplomatic. I am going to just call it. I am Angelica for watchmojo.com. And today I sit down with the National Parcs. So I am here with the National Parcs. Let us quickly introduce ourselves.
