 As always in a musical collaboration: One has to like each other. As simple as that. |
| Most of today's music is done electronically. |
| I listened to the rock music of that time, but as you know and can easily hear: my music of that era had nothing to do with the common music of this era. I was experimenting, I was searching for something new. |
| Manuel is still today a good friend. The others I see rarely, but with Edgar I phone from time to time. |
| The human voice is the first and most natural musical instrument, also the most emotional. |
| A concert is a concert is a concert is a concert. An album is an album is an album is an album. Musically, both have nothing in common. |
| We are all part of a tradition, at least we depend on the past. |
| Then, in 1983 I went on a very long concert tour all over Europe. |
| Everything changes permantly. How boring if it wouldn't. |
| Yes, I'm a musician. I also like to play with others, sometimes more, sometimes less. |
| Sometimes I like to make music together with a singer or with singers. |
| As everyone else, I was a fan of Pink Floyd in the sixties. |
| When I came back I had to realize that IC was not in a very good shape - all the much money that we had because of the huge Ideal success, was gone. I was very upset. |
| I did not start IC and Inteam to have control over my music. I had control before and after. |
| And of course, the musician - if he's serious - always answers: My last album is my best, otherwise I wouldn't have done it. |
| Yes, sampling has changed not just my way of playing and composing. |
| Every music - except dance music, which is for dancing, I suppose - is for the spirit of the human being, and not for the body. |
| The problem was the journalists who also did not understand much of my music, but they wrote about it. I think you fell into the usual trap laid out by parts of the press and other writers: that the poor musician has always to fight the evil companies and managers. |
| Yes, I was invited to make the sound environment at a booth of a huge electronic company, during the Hanover Industrial Fair in 1973. It was a job. Slightly good paid. But not as much as my producer then told the press. |
| I never had many problems to do my music and to give it to a record company. Rarely do they try to argue with me about my music, probably because it's still too far-out. |
