Harold Budd concert
- Brighton 2005.
"I happened to hear Theo Travis sound-checking on stage,
using loops and long delays. The Brighton Dome filled with this
elegant, spiralling sound. Impressive.
"I immediately thought it would be fascinating to sing into
Theo's music, there would be points where you wouldn't quite
know what was voice and what was instrument, a sort of confusion
I particularly enjoy - like seeing a city through fog. Everything
becomes more mysterious when the boundaries blur.
"So we talked, and he kindly sent over the recordings of
Slow Life.
"On first hearing, though, I felt a little discouraged because
the music sounded so beautiful as it was. Anything else might
be just decoration.
"I played piano along with it, to get some idea of scales
and structure - and discovered the pieces contained all kinds
of hidden melodies.
"It soon became clear the tracks were rich enough to support
quite another entity - related to Slow Life, but revealing other
layers through these hinted, filmic melodies I was hearing. The
voice might have been a nice add-on, but this would be more of
an architectural appreciation.
That elision of instruments could still happen too, by extending
the piano harmonics through reverberation and making other harmonic
links using a few discreet synth textures.
I had a lot of fun working in this way - always loved that gentle
mystery of loose, suggested melodies and it was a real privilege
to be able to uncover all these other aspects of Theo's music."
