Viðtal við Sebastien Grainger
Hérna er viðtal sem ég tók, við Sebastien Grainger, annan meðlima Death From Above 1979, í ágúst á seinasta ári í gegnum MySpace. Þetta er eitthvað gruggugt í IE, www.getfirefox.com.
Hvaða tónlistarmenn hafa haft mest áhrif á þig; gert þig að þeim tónlistarmanni sem þú ert í dag?
Dan Lanois, Paul Simon, Big Star, Yes, Nina Simone, The Cars, Bruce Springsteen, Prince… og allt annað sem ég hef heyrt og elskað.
Jesse [F. Keeler] hefur verið mjög virkur síðan þið tveir hættuð í DFA1979, í MSTRKRFT. Þú hefur tekið því rólega og látið lítið á þér bera á meðan, en þú hefur verið að semja tónlist, og þú sagðir á MySpace að þú hafir samið mörg lög. Hvenær kemur sólóplatan út?
Ég hef verið að „taka því rólega“ að semja, spila, kaupa fasteign, stofna nýja hljómsveit, byggja stúdíó og taka upp plötu með lögum sem verður gefin út þegar hún er tilbúin og einhver vill gefa hana út og gefa hverjum sem vill hana.
En hvernig mun platan hljóma? Raftónlist virðist renna í blóði þínu og Jesses. Þegar þið voruð í DFA1979, gáfuð þið út remix plötu, og núna semjið þið báðir dans tónlist. Á MySpace-inu þínu eru dans- og rokklög, en þar sagðir líka „ég gæti verið að skjóta mig í fótinn með því að senda inn annað danslag“. Verður þetta rokkplata sem við fáum?
Raftónlist er skemmtileg, en ég gæti aldrei tekið hana nógu alvarlega til að helga mig henni. Ég er of rómantískur.
Platan mun innihalda 10 lög, og hún mun hljóma meira eins og Roy Orbison en Kraftwerk. Skilurðu?
Á meðan er útgáfufyrirtæki í Bretlandi, Phantasy Records, sem gefur út raf/fönk 7“ vínyl plötu með Rythm Method hliðarverkefninu mínu. Skyggnstu um eftir Renegade Silence/When You Go Out á „sjö tommu“ bráðlega.
Spilið þið Jesse einhvern tímann saman? Annað hvort upp á fjörið eða í gegnum Femme Fatale, o.s.frv.
Nei.
Hvaða plötur hefur þú hlustað á seinustu sex mánuðina, eða svo?
Bruce Springsteen – Born To Run, Born In The USA
Justin Timberlake – FutureSex/LoveSounds
Ýmsir - Gospel Music
Spoon – Ga ga ga ga ga
Paul Simon – Rhythm of the Saints, Graceland, There Goes Rhymin’ Simon
SOnic Youth – Rather RIpped
Albert Hammond Jr. – Yours to Keep
Andre Ethier – Allt með honum
Wyrd Visions – Half-Eaten Guitar
Hlustar þú á einhverja íslenska tónlist? Sigur Rós, Björk, o.s.frv.
Ég hef heyrt í Sigur Rós og hlustað á Björk. Köld tónlist.
Góð tónlist.
Talandi um íslenska tónlist. Þú hlýtur að hafa heyrt um tónlistarhátíðina Iceland Airwaves. Allavega, ég þori að veðja að það eru margir Íslendingar sem myndu vilja sjá þig á tónleikum. Er einhver möguleiki á að þú myndir spila á hátíðinni?
Þegar rétti tíminn kemur!
Hvað semur þú helst um í textum þínum?
Það sem ég sé og það sem ég man þegar það er penni í hönd minni.
Þegar ég leitaði að upplýsingum um ykkur Jesse á netinu, sá ég að þið eruð báðir með hliðarverkefni í gangi. Jesse er með Femme Fatale, og þú með Girl On Girl. Ég fann aldrei neitt um Girl On Girl, og þegar ég googlaði það fann ég bara klám. Hvað er Girl On Girl?
Girl On Girl var remix verkefni sem ég stofnaði til að græða pening meðan DFA1979 járnið var ennþá heitt.
Hrein misnotkun.
Eitthvað sem þú vilt bæta við?
Verið í skóla, ekki nota eiturlyf, stundið öruggt kynlíf, klifrið í tré.
Og viðtalið á ensku / In English:
Which musicians influenced you the most, who made you the artist you are today?
Dan Lanois, Paul Simon, Big Star, Yes, Nina Simone, The Cars, Bruce Springsteen, Prince…and everything else i’ve ever heard and loved.
Jesse has been very active since you two quit DFA1979, in MSTRKRFT. You’ve been taking it easy and laying low in the meanwhile, but you have been composing music, and you said on MySpace you’ve written many songs. When will the solo album be published?
I’ve been “taking it easy” writing, playing, buying property, starting a new band, building a studio and recording a record of songs that will be released once it’s done and someone wants to take it from me and give it to everyone who wants it.
But what will it sound like? It seems like the electronic music runs in yours’ and Jesse’s blood. When in DFA1979, you published a remix album, and now both of you compose dance music. On your MySpace you have dance and rock songs, but you said there also “i may be shooting myself in the foot by uploading another “dance” number”. Will it be a rock album we’re getting?
Electronic music is fun, but personally i can never take it seriously enough to commit my self to it. I am too much of a romantic. I only love it when it’s song-y and delivered from a black pyramid. My record will be 10 songs, sounding closer to Roy Orbisson than to Kraftwerk. You know?
In the meantime a label in the uk called PHANTASY RECORDS is putting out an electro-funk 7″ of my Rhythm Method side project. Look out for RENEGADE SILENCE/When You Go Out spanning seven inches on a turntable near you soon.
Do you and Jesse ever play together now? Either for fun or Femme Fatale etc.
No.
What CD’s have you been listening to in the past 6 months or so?
Bruce Springsteen – Born To Run, Born In The USA
Justin Timberlake – Futuresex/Lovesounds
Various Artists – Gospel Music
Spoon – Ga ga ga ga ga
Paul Simon – Rhythm of the Saints, Graceland, There Goes Rhymin’ Simon
SOnic Youth – Rather RIpped
Albert Hammond Jr. – Yours to Keep
Andre Ethier – (entire catalog)
Wyrd Visions – Half-Eaten Guitar
Do you listen to any Icelandic music? Sigur Rós, Björk etc.?
I’ve heard sigor ros and listened to bjork. cold music.
good music.
Talking about Icelandic music. You must have heard about the music festival Iceland Airwaves. Anyways, I’ll bet there are many Icelanders who would love to see you live. Is there a possibility that you would ever sign up to play at the festival?
when the time is right!
In your lyrics, what do you write about?
what i see and what i can remember when there is a pen in my hand.
When trying to find info about you and Jesse on the internet, I see you have side projects. Jesse’s FF, and your Girl On Girl. I’ve never found anything about Girl On Girl, and when I google it I only find porn. What is Girl On Girl?
Girl on girl was a remix project i started in order to make a little money when the dfa iron was still hot.
pure exploitation.
Is there something you want to add?
Stay in school, don’t use drugs, practice safe sex, climb a tree.
