# 10 x 4 – Dubai
**Anna Barie** hasn't been sitting down since disbanding of her previous
project, the glorious ghost-noise group [These Are Powers][1]{:
target="_blank"}. After relocating to Lyon, France, she's formed the duo
of **[Dubai][2]{: target="_blank"}**. Like her former TAP bandmate
[Brenmar][3]{: target="_blank"}, she's found a new sound to communicate
with: one of hazy, ritualistic drones and beautiful chants.
**1. Is any aspect of fame important and if yes, why's that?**
Communicating to a lot of people is a big responsibility.
**2. What goes in your coffee?**
Trepidation.
**3. What does underground and mainstream mean to you?**
Metropolitain and Seine.
**4. Better show: Buffy or X-Files?**
Buffy. Because of teenage lesbians and it's one of Johanne's nicknames.
**5. Name three essential artists.**
John Cage, Michael Jackson, Stanley Kubrick.
**6. Write a non-promotional paragraph.**
As Henri Dès said--
There was once a tiny man who had one hair.
He wanted a part in the middle but he only had one hair.
There was once a tiny man who had one tooth.
He wanted to eat little children but he had only one tooth.
**7. Your current favorite song?**
Bear In Heaven's ['The Reflection of You'][4]{: target="_blank"}. We
just played with them in Lyon and they are a super solid band with
integrity and a sense of humor.
**8. Do you believe in the paranormal?**
Yes. Johanne's mother is an energy healer and Anna's mom would throw
pennies at funeral processions so the dead would have money to make it
to the next place.
**9. Are you interested in politics?**
Especially now that France has its first Black president. Just kidding,
but he is a Socialist.
**10. Raging or chilling out?**
Hazing out.
