Cinematic Orchestra Interview

Posted on by

This interview with Cinematic Orchestra was done backstage in Osaka in September 2002. It has been edited down to about 12 minutes in length, focusing on their collaborative work with Fontella Bass, live improvisation vs. studio editing, and their soundtracking of “Man With A Movie Camera.”
The interview was done for my old magazine Space Age Bachelor magazine (space-age-bachelor.com), The magazine had already pretty much faded out of existence before I did this interview, but at the time I was trying to resuscitate it as a DVD magazine. That never took off, and it would be 2010 before I’d get my act together to put this interview out to the public. I really enjoyed editing this, and from my own perspective I think it was worth the wait.

Part 1 of 2

This interview with David Toop was done in the Tokyo office of the British Council. Toop was in Japan for some lectures and a conference. I was an English teacher in Tokyo at the time, and I did this interview on my way to work.
This is one of the last interviews I did during the era in which I published Space Age Bachelor magazine. As it was, I never ended up printing another issue of Space Age Bachelor. The transcript for this interview ended up being published in another music zine called Sound Collector.
Here’s Part 2 of 2:
