JadeWeb : What is your first musical memory ?
I can’t remember, but I was always interested in sounds, much
more then images.
Which
artist or song has "affected" your childhood ?
No one
really.
Did
you think of working in music ? What did you really want to become
later?
I wanted
to become a historian, which I did actually. but my father was always
playing music by Antonin Dvorak and Anton Bruckner, and meanwhile
reading the scores which he had of those works (the complete Dvorak
collection, plus every bit that was ever released on vinyl) and i
was fascinated by scores. To me it was secret knowledge that i want
to know about.
Are
there any disturbing or nice sounds that have "affected" your childhood ?
Not
really
.
Did
your parents give you a musical education ?
They
both played the piano a bit, so they wanted me to play it to. I hated
it. I wanted to learn the guitar, but was just too lazy to learn to
play it. I just made funny sounds on it, by beating on the strings
with objects.
Can
you tell us about a musical memory of your childhood (a concert, a
show..) ?
I think we went to the Violinconcerto by Max Bruch one day, and i
remember it being nice. I don’t know how old I was. My first concert
I visited it myself was in 1977. It was the band U.K. (who remembers
them).
