Thank you very much for the translation,Raphael. :-) Op 4 nov. 2010 om 00:23 heeft Raphael Ackermann <raphael.ackermann@gmail.com> het volgende geschreven:
A quick translation of the video:
DM: Dieter is saying that it is a very personal selection of tracks, selected by Yello and selected such that they choose the tracks that sounded most Yelloesque, Yelloish. Tracks with which they believe they have invented and reinvented themselves. Music was a way of surviving for Boris Blank. A way of feeling himself. For Dieter, singing was a way to find his own identity, as he didn't know at all what to do with himself during the first 23 years. And so the privilege of the music and working together with Boris Blank on these small tunes let him (DM) be born.
BB: What I don't like is if people come to the studio and say to him, "Boris, show us how you work, that they won't to watch him work". He doesn't like that at all because working on a music piece or just in general working creatively. It matters to him that he has the peace, solitude, quietness. Almost like a monk when praying/meditating.
DM: I wouldn't say that the 80's were the most productive time. I would even say that after I listened to the last 3 or 4 pieces of Boris that they capture the essence of his musical inventive talent, more barebone and without all that sometimes too much candy/jewellery hanging on the christmas tree. Boris had done that too much of things out of fear not be good enough and wanting to be even better. Boris says himself that for this Anthology he has purged some of the excess from some of the tracks and that he as found his musical conscience and his musical identity in a way that he doesn't need the to add too much ornament to the songs anymore.
BB: I consider it a compliment if the people today are copying and using that style. I believe it is a confirmation that we have done something right in the past and that we lived and felt the music in a very authentic way.
DM: I believe that our approach without a given composition or a finished idea but work together and one gives the other and at the end we are standing there and marvel like children at what they created. And he is most happy that they have retained that childlike pleasure.
btw. Boris sits on exactly the same chair that I bought 2 years ago :-)
