JB
: Let's talk now about the future of Recoil : no tour . When you
will release a new project or a new Recoil album , there won't be any
tour ? You say "it's not possible " or "I don't want".
Alan : Everything is possible . I'd prefer to do another album.The time I would spend making a tour I won't spend it working on a new album. JB : If you would go on tour , you will make more promotion, and you will attract more people. Isn't it the main goal of this? Alan : It's not the only goal . I want people to know me , but I don't want to spend too much time making promo. I could do that for a year , to answer to interviews , to chat with people on websites , or spending my time on the road . But I'd prefer to spend it working on a new album . Actually I'd like to be able to start working on it since today but i have to make the promotion of the new album . It's just a way to spend his time in the best way . But going on tour is not what I prefer. JB : It would be difficult , with all the people engaged on the Recoil project . It would be interesting to see it and hear it. G : I remember that I read in an interview that you use to listen to a lot of soundtracks .Have you ever planned to contact a movie producer ? Alan : It would be a good thing, I'd like to do it. I would send this album to lot of people of the cinema to see what they think of it. I've never done it until now. It would be a great challenge to do it with people from the the movie sector than to do it by myself and to see what it would be . It wouldn't be something dark obviously. Maybe not a David lynch movie. It would be more obvious for me to work with him. But if he would ask me to do one with him , I would do it certainly . G : When i heard the album Liquid, It seemed to me like a whole story.Starting with "Black Box Part I" and going on through each sng of the album , going by higher and lower moments and some more calm , and ending with " Black Box Part II" . It looks like the beginning of a movie , I could quite imagine a soundtrack with Liquid. Was it the state of mind with which you made this album ? Alan : It wasn't the idea at the beginning of the album but mostly at the end. With " Black Box" at the beginning it was only one song , but with time going on , I developped the idea of this man crashing with in the airplane , and showing clearly all the other stories like souvenirs. It looked like a good way to put all together , and to give a sense to the order of the songs . It's not easy for me as I don't write all the songs , to give a meaning to the whole album. It was a good way for me to give a meaning to the album . It was easier for me to compile all and put the songs in the right order. It doesn't have to be that way, because each history can be quite independent from each other. |
