Formula Indie Sessions _ Interview with Casha Mour
What is your earliest memory connected to music?
Probably listening to the soundtrack of the video game Earthworm Jim on a custom mixtape my dad made for me.
How did your passion for creating music begin?
It started with listening to nu metal bands like Limp Bizkit – Wes Borland inspired me to pick up the guitar. It wasn’t until I started studying music production at university that I really got into electronic music and began using DAWs like Ableton Live. I come from a very musical household too, my dad, older brother and sister all play instruments – I’m the youngest so I suppose I soaked it all up.
What’s the story behind your current music project?
I created Casha Mour towards the end of my university course when I really started producing properly. The name is a combination of Cash and Amour – I’m not entirely sure what it means, but it felt like it encapsulated the music I was making at the time. Now it just represents my sound.
How would you describe your sound to someone who has never heard your music before?
“blending ambient textures, lofi aesthetics, and experimental electronica into a sound that feels both intimate and otherworldly.”
What is one thing you’ve learned that completely changed the way you make music?
Your creativity is endless; if something isn’t working, just start a new project.
What tools, instruments, or software are essential in your creative process?
Ableton Live and the Arturia Prophet V VST. That’s about it – the stock plugins are more than good enough.
Which indie artist or song are you loving right now?
I’ve been listening to this band called My trio – they’re about 80% noise rock but also have some lovely calming pieces.
How have your personal experiences influenced your music and artistic vision?
I originally wanted to be in a band, but it’s difficult to find the right people and keep it going long-term. So I pivoted to electronic music and really delved into that world – I don’t regret it at all. But having said that i think the metal world still influences my electronic music heavily.
What emotions or messages do you hope listeners take from your work?
I hope my music conveys a wide range of emotions.
What’s the most important lesson music has taught you so far?
If it’s not fun, it’s probably not worth it.
What is a dream venue or festival you would love to perform at?
I’d love to perform at Oslo Hackney or MOTH Club – both legendary venues. Or a church venue would be great!
If you could collaborate with any artist, past or present, who would it be and why?
Anyone? I would love to make a beat for Danny Brown

Looking toward the future, what’s your dream for the next chapter of your musical journey?
My dream would be to play more gigs – I did my first one recently at Bush Hall which I feel was very overdue. I’m working on some new audo-reactive live visuals at the moment so I’m hoping to take those on some sort of tour soon!
What do you hope listeners will discover about you along the way?
That there’s a genuine curiosity behind everything I make – that I’m always exploring different sounds and ideas rather than staying in one place. And maybe that underneath it all there’s a consistent feeling or identity, even if the surface changes.
