Very inspiring peek into the creative process of two great musicians! Thanks for watching!!! Please feel free to leave feedback and check out my blog and website: Joseph Braun Photography: josephbraun.com
u should hear what Chris Frantz has to say in his book about what happened during the recording of My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts. Im not gonna tell ya! Youre gonna have to read it yerself!! Ok, ill tell u its in either chapter 42 or 43. Then again, its hard to believe any of Frants's recollections seeing as he says that Damon Albarn was the night barman at a hotel he was staying at in London in 1977. Albarn wouldve been about 8 years old.
David, once again the connection continues. I just listened to this album. The song, My Big Nurse is an uncanny name since when I was a visual artist, my boss and old friend at the time was married to a nurse (who was quite overweight) and who made a decent salary and allowed him to remain in the profession until where he was making enough to support a family. (Sears didn't pay us much in those days) But when I left to give birth, he became quite angry with me and threatened "If you leave, I will blackball you" I believe he did do just that since every job I had after that ended with me being dismissed for being "too slow" And the reasons I was let go were very minor, like cursing on the job, or talking about my supervisor behind her back. I think the seriousness to my psyche bears investigation as it ended up costing me money as I look back on it now.
On est frappé par leur beauté, puis s'installe l'essentiel : l'esprit, très fort , trés libre, trés vivant Assez merveilleux en fait...l'air palpite au gré de leurs pensées.
It's hard to calculate how important these two are. But that aside I always love what they do and have pretty much everything they've ever done and I'm better for it.
"Song Is An Affirmation For Humanity".....That's what I hear in David's music. Songs about building, community, people, coming, together, perpetual, party, forever.
Brian in this interview sells himself way too short, though I understand his points, yet still love the enthusiasm. He's artistically quite malleable and allows the musical canvas to have no limits sonically. If there are limits, he's chose them to be just that. An extension different than what he often starts out with. For David, that's just great fodder to groove with. These are possibly the two musical artists I identify with the most. From Heads, Music for Airports, Before and After Science, to Bush of Ghosts. These are just some of life's simple pleasures". Thank you, Gentleman. - James Conrad Tucker "Reasonable Approach".
Life in the Bush of Ghosts is an extraordinary piece of work. I got used to hearing it in the early 80s because it was on one side of a C90 that had a favoirite album on the other side.... Soon it was the other album that was the "one you play to wind the tape back". I have no idea why I like it so much, bit there is something exquisite about it.
I don't get all the hate in this comment section for either of the albums they've made together. Both Bush of Ghosts and Everything That Happens are great albums, regardless of genre.
@@garymorgan3314 U2's best albums were also produced by Eno and he also helped out with Slowdive's Souvlaki. Also can't forget his own solo material from the 70s which was brilliant as well
Yes ‘Ghosts’ is especially brilliant, Eric Satie would have been proud of some of those tracks. As to the hate here, well Eno is very far from hateful... it’s trolling, just feel sorry for those who don’t get it.
I enjoyed that. Criminally short tho lol. Two of my fave musicians and creative minds there. is there more to this vid to be found...or is it only a short film?
I love the way David describes his writing process of fitting lyrics and moods to the music, exactly my method too, sometimes you just dont know the lyrical theme until you accidentally string together a sentence that makes some sort of sense when you listen back, very cool video
Love these guys! Thank you Brian Eno!! just for being you! Thank you David Byrne for working with Brian Eno on " My Life in the Bush of Ghosts " !!!! One of my most favorite albums!!! Cant wait to get ahold of this newest material!!!!! 😎👍
Just saying this here David Byrne and Brian Eno with “My Life In A Bush Of Ghosts” and beyond literally unspoken genius of music and without them I would have never kept trying to make music
Thanks for sharing this. Have loved Eno and Byrne's work for decades. I was privileged to meet Hillman Curtis and fell in love with his work as well. RIP Hillman.👍👍👽
Love them both, but this record and most recent Eno stuff is really ghastly... its like he has gotten to the point where he can find ANYTHING interesting, so unfortunately the records really aren't...
if by 'keyboards' you mean synthesizer than probably, but he was NEVER a part of the band, he just liked to contribute stuff sometimes because he was their producer.
It's hard to quantify what these two have meant to me - both together, and working separately (Eno especially). The thing with Eno is that his back catalogue is so rich, you ca nnever exhaust it.
Interesting coincidence that David Byrne lived for a good part of his youth in Hamilton,Ontario and Brian spent severl years in Hamilton as well and collaborated with a fellow Hamiltonian Daniel Lanois who became his production partner for many succesful musical creations
I cannot begin to describe what a warm fuzzy feeling it gives me to discover that somehow (having just watched this) not only has David Byrne got a music studio work space somewhere steeped in the kind of homemade organised chaos & with an element almost of 'Just moved in / might move out again anytime' impermanency about it, that I'm extremely familiar with from my own sweet bolt hole ; but that despite him having been pretty much my alltime musical idol since I was a kid (now in my 50's) I discover from this, that somehow, by accident, we share pretty much the exact same aproach to coaxng songs to take on form out of the ether. It's genuinely made my f*cking day that !
“Please check out my photography in the link below!!” Two exclamation marks don’t make your repetitive plea any more loudly. It’s annoying and discourteous to Byrne and Eno; it makes the thought of “checking” non-existent. You say you are a photographer; but you come up with a film that has no colour grading, not to mention the blown out highlights in some shots.
What a great interview. Wonderful insights from Two Music Icons. It was especially great to learn about their creative process and collaboration. Very inspiring.
It feels so fresh to see an interview with some natural awkwardness - not polished at all. Very cool time capsule of that time period as the web was a new thing.
4 pictures that should be under avantgarde brilliant FUN. ONE OF Brian Eno, one of David Byrne of course Bowie and finally Todd Rundgren. Yup that'll do it. While Brian wasnt the front,.he was in on a lot of sneaky shit. That Roxy Music influence.. the fripp time.. I really appreciate his like song of the freaking week or whatever. David just does small side gigs like Broadway and world touring
Why is music, film, tv do deprived, depressive, agressive, dark I loved positively, moves, rthym, dancers, look at victory's secrecy or conspiracy tour, and 80 funny disco, funk, jazzy
Darker horses I promised to hold his Spirit The black Stalion, stollen, beaten I look to the horses, I am there heard There words I promised to breeks, down Walls To free, them left inside I'm am the wictim, there voice A am the dark secrecy, of the High angel,. Army the freedom I am a serving,
This just proves that music that is 'thought out' and all of the details of each track considered ,can still feel so unplanned and satisfyingly emotive when listening A really beautiful album
This is a really super record and is of the same high standard as the only two other of their collaborations that I am aware of: My life in the Bush of Ghosts and Remain in light. There isn't one track that isn't fucking great. It's so touching as well because there is a touch of nostalgia and regret running all the way through which perhaps alludes to their previous work together and the length of time since they last worked together. I'll buy it as soon as I can get my prepaid card charged up. The dimming of the lights LOL Make sure the door doesn't hit you on the way out.
@@karlstrausside107 controlled puppet...sure lol by who? Sorry but dont think so,If you dont like him is your choice...but that just doesn't make sense.
My brother I was near the disaster I held under, saved some I was , there in the dreams But , turned under The flood of incomes We're noone regoniced Anyone's I think twice, on peace mission I heard him blessed me A given to tell you,
well, I'll leave it at that. They're great guys etc. 'Stay Hungry'. one thing: everyone put on Talking Heads' Nothing but Flowers. Everyone Dance! __ trust me the song still delivers. if you hav'nt heard it in a bit.
jamesnich99 It is funny that you say that because I was listening to Nothing but flowers when I read your post. That guitar part near the end of the song might be the best I have ever heard. Also the talking heads were one of the funkest bands out there. They still amaze me on how creative and innovating there music was. Stop making sense. Stop making sense.
