FAQs
Answered by Edgar Froese
Any chance in considering a TD sound without electronics?
What is normally called music has nothing to do with electronics in the first place. Music is what a composer and/or musician wants to say or portray in terms of sound and a structured pattern. The second step is to find the shortest and most effective ...
Answered by Edgar Froese
Have you ever regretted taking the step from classical rock instruments to the "musical switchboard?"
In 1971, when we gave our first concert performed with synthesizers only, no one had ever before seen this kind of a stage setup. It revolutionized the entire music business and what happened is that a huge industry was created and would continue to ...
Answered by Edgar Froese
"Eat more s…, 100.000 flies can’t be wrong," was the headline in the Melody Maker review of your unexpected hit release Pheadra in the UK in May 1975. Did this upset you?
I remember the feeling of reading it for the first time in London. It was like eating marshmallows topped with vinegar. I didn’t understand the story behind it at all. Did we produce the wrong recording at the wrong time for an unprepared audience? ...
Answered by Edgar Froese
Some people argue that electronic music is nothing other than a bunch of dogs barking at the moon?
I love dogs and that’s their way of sending bio e-mails with a very strong message. Seriously, it’s the same story all over. If people don’t have a clue about something, they start whining about the way things have to be. They get upset if something ...
Answered by Edgar Froese
Is it true that the final part for soundtrack for the film Thief ended up being locked in an LA restroom?
Sitting with Director Michael Mann in a Burbank Studio finishing the Thief score, suddenly someone ripped open the door and pushed us into a broom closet filled with cleaning articles .It was a very tight squeeze and very dark. I thought I was getting ...
Answered by Edgar Froese
You drove in a military tank to a concert in Spain – is that trash or a true story?
Trash and truth often go hand in hand as we all know, but here the story is slightly different. We played at the great sports hall of Bilbao back in 1978. In the middle of the concert something showered against the glass walls of the building. It ...
Answered by Edgar Froese
There is supposed to be a book on the market which covers the entire lifespan and development of TD as well as Edgar’s experiences as founder. Will it be available in 2006?
The book is still in the process of being written because my schedule doesn’t allow me to continuously work on it without interruption. All I can say is that it will reflect all areas and experiences I went through with or without TD within more than 40 ...
Answered by Edgar Froese
What has been your main instrument as far as composing is concerned?
Definitely the piano. It always has been my sketchbook while in the Studio. Polyphonic, monophonic and percussive playing techniques can’t be performed on any other instrument in the same complexity. If I’m on the road I always have my laptop with a ...
Answered by Edgar Froese
Does playing guitar still touch you as “deeply as it did” – in your own words – 40 years ago?
Yes, it does – but surprisingly it’s different. Many years back, playing guitar was really just linked to my ego. It sounds strange at first, but identifying yourself with what you do can easily get you into a trap of pure egotism. Inundated with ...
Answered by Edgar Froese
Musicians do not always focus their careers on politics and social movements. What is said in public very often reflects the public’s naivety and ignorance about the subject in question. There are of course exceptions, like Bono or Geldorf, but is there a better way to go about changing the world and humanity?
It’s astonishing how much energy and careful thinking has been put into various projects set up by colleagues of mine through the years. It would be a false and inhuman reaction to capitulate about what we experience every day worldwide. That fact that ...
