: Quel est votre premier souvenir musical ou sonore ?
The Doctor Who theme, from the black and white episodes. Very spooky
sounds for a boy just out of nappies.
Quels
artistes ou chansons ont marqué votre jeunesse ?
Nothing in particular, for me it was a
kaleidoscope of older brother and sisters preferences chopped with
a large dose of parents and grandparents old-time crooning marhler
waltzing. For me it was the milea of sounds from outside and in, mixing
with the themes and tunes from the 60's & 70's TV and radio, that
had the most effect. Occasional sounds and music saving me from the
vagaries of my families choices.
Pensiez-vous
travailler dans la musique ? Que souhaitiez-vous devenir plus
tard ?
I think I might have said, a fireman, racing
driver, in the Beatles, tinker tailor soldier sailor, secret agent.....depending
on the day and weather. Didn't really think of such things seriously
until I was well into my teenage years.
Y
a t’il des sons désagréables (ou agréables) qui
ont marqué votre jeunesse ?
The
sound of a storm from inside a creaking caravan or tent, the howl
of the wind has always fascinated me, as did the sea shell effect
on the ear, or the Doppler roar of a jet engine or car. But the air
of a breeze is as magical as the sound of heavy snow.
Est-ce
que vos parents ont participé à votre éducation
musicale ?
They
dragged me to the classical concerts every week at the local big concert
hall (50km away) this went on for what seemed a decade or two! There
was an old piano in a wintry backroom and a dusty guitar we could
not touch. We got given penny whistles and cheap plastic recorders
at some point.
Pouvez-vous
raconter un souvenir d’enfance marquant, relatif à la musique
(concert, spectacle…) ?
I remember a Christmas show at the local arts centre theatre, maybe
it was an adaptation of Alice in Wonderland or something similar.
It was pretty abstract in any case as they had full-on oil screen
projectors going in a generally blacked out theatre. The music lived
up to the trippy visuals and was very sonic and drone complete with
big sound effects and echoes,to this were some trancy medieval beats.
It was the late 60's and my only taste of it, I guess my parents didn't
like it, they were square there.
