: Quel est votre premier souvenir musical ou sonore ?
My first musical memory would probably be singing "Popcorn popping
on the apricot tree" in my church.That song was my favorite.
Quels
artistes ou chansons ont marqué votre jeunesse ?
2. I think that Devo's "Whip it" affected
me in deep ways as a child. I can remember dancing around to that
song with my brother and sister and just being so excited by it's
originality and oddness! To this day, I am looking for music that
stirs my creative juices the way that "Whip It" did when I was young.
Pensiez-vous
travailler dans la musique ? Que souhaitiez-vous devenir plus
tard ?
3. I can remember thinking that I would
eventually start playing the guitar. I don't know why, but it seemed
like an eventuality rather than something that was up in the air.
When I did start playing, the floodgates opened and I immediately
started writing music right off the bat... granted, the songs were
really really bad. I really wanted to become a baseball player or
anartist of some sort. My mom is an artist.
Y
a t’il des sons désagréables (ou agréables) qui
ont marqué votre jeunesse ?
4.
Well, my Dad loved to sing sea shanties and although I hated it as
a child, I wouldn't mind hearing him sing one now! Also, I can remember
being in a big mall and hearing the PA system echo off of the walls.
I remember being totally mesmerized by that effect. I am sure that
had some bearing on the guitar sound that I am always searching for.
Est-ce
que vos parents ont participé à votre éducation
musicale ?
5.
My parents absolutely gave me a musical education!! My Dad was a total
music lover who played guitar and loved to sing. He was always buying
strange instruments like tablas, hammer dulcimer, saltry, and to this
day I use his old fender amps for my guitar. My Mom is also a lover
of music. She was really into New Wave when I was young and would
listen to Depeche Mode, the Cure, BlancMange, R.E.M., Devo, the Pretenders,
the list goes on. Needless to say she influenced my tastes in music
dramatically!
Pouvez-vous
raconter un souvenir d’enfance marquant, relatif à la musique
(concert, spectacle…) ?
6. As a child, I never really went to concerts or saw any live music.
I can say that when I was a bit older, I bought the Cure's "Disintegration"
and it changed my life! The density of the sound and the heart felt
nature of the music was, and still is, engrossing. I love that album!
