昨日のAustin City Limitsのライヴの後、シンセショップでThomとJonnyに出くわしたファンの話。
→ COS

すごく状況が目に浮かぶような話ですね（笑）。
JonnyがArpでジャムっててCliveがKORG触ってるのを見つけて興奮して気がついたらThomがすぐそばにいて。
RadioheadのTシャツを着ていたから気付かれないように腕組みをして隠してたとか。
でも彼らの邪魔にならないようにと冷静になりファンであることを忘れようとして、再度シンセを触っていたら
後ろからThomが「それは何？」って声かけられて。Thomとパッチングについての難しさなんかを実践しながら一時間程ジョークを交えて話していたそうです。

Shye Ben Tzur が彼のプロジェクトやインディアンミュージックへの思い入れ等について語っています。
→Rollingstone India

Sometime during the late Nineties, a teenaged Shye Ben Tzur was drawn to the mysticism and energy of Indian classical music. Like many others his age, the Israeli musician was already introduced to Western music, but found the allure of qawwali and Hindustani classical irresistible. Tzur, now the brains behind contemporary music-meets-Indian folk project The Rajasthan Express, says over the phone from Tel Aviv, "You have to remember, something like jazz or Western music, is something that's relatively new. Indian music is quite ancient in many ways. It's important that we leave something far more valuable."

Tzur talks with the confidence of someone who knows his Indian music inside out. After all, he's spent close to two decades in the country, working closing with Rajasthani musicians--from the qawwals and Manganiyars to keepers of the sufi music tradition. With two crossover albums (Heeyam in 2003 and Shoshan in 2010) to his name, Tzur added another texture to his unique mix of Urdu, Hindi and Hebrew music; he teamed up with guitarist, producer and composer Jonny Greenwood, best known for his work with rock titans Radiohead. Together, Tzur, Greenwood and the 19-member strong Rajasthan Express created Junun, which released last November. Tzur says, "The aim was to create something that was a pure expression of music and art." Junun was mastered by Radiohead's go-to sound engineer Nigel Godrich and was accompanied by a documentary shot by renowned American filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.

Although familiar with Radiohead's music, Tzur went back to the band's catalog with a finer comb only after meeting and collaborating with Greenwood in 2015. The two musicians went on to perform together at the World Sacred Spirit Festival in Jodhpur last year. Unfortunately, Greenwood isn't a permanent fixture in the live setup for Tzur and The Rajasthan Express, owing to his own busy schedule with Radiohead and other projects. But Tzur and The Rajasthan Express will be taking up plenty of stage space on their own, when they perform at the fourth edition of Ziro Festival of Music, held in the breathtaking Ziro valley in Arunachal Pradesh between September 22nd and 25th. He says, "I'm really looking forward to the Ziro Festival. I'm very excited."

It's a busy season for the musician, who is also recording artists in Israel and curating a festival in Jaipur later this year. He says, "I wanted to research and study about the rich musical tradition that India has [when I was 19]; I just never imagined that it was going to change my life and I was going to spend so many years in India. I still feel I have not achieved anything of my aim. It's so vast--music in general and Indian music in particular. It's been quite a journey."

The Quietusに、11月にJonnyと共にツアーをするShye Ben Tzurのインタヴューが掲載されています。

"Greenwood is very, very curious about music and an amazing musician. We were discussing these things, and one of the main decisions we made was that we would try to use chords as sparingly as possible, and play more with rhythmic and 'sound' elements - try to rest and let the chords emerge from the melody rather than imposing, western chords on the music."

Jonny Interview @ NRP。
日本語訳がRo69に掲載されています。

Greenwood on why Radiohead changes its process with each album:

"I guess it feels like every record we make, we finish and have a collective thought that we didn't quite mean to do it like that and the next one will be different and then we'll get it right. It's kind of like rewriting the same letter and getting each draft slightly wrong. So it's a good motivation force -- it keeps us going."

On why he loves recording string sections:

"Our string days are just the most exciting days to record. I live for them. It's amazing, the whole excitement in the morning of putting out music on these empty stands and, you know, an orchestra are coming later that day and you'll only have them for four hours and you've got to make the most of it. It's really just the most exciting thing and then to sit in a room and hear them play it's really like nothing else."

On his first love, the recorder:

"Instead of stealing cars and having a good time as a teenager I was literally playing the recorder like until the age of eighteen -- seriously, with no shame."

On the importance of knowing what role he plays in the band:

"It's not really about can I do my guitar part now, it's more ... what will serve this song best? How do we not mess up this really good song? Part of the problem is Thom will sit at the piano and play a song like 'Pyramid Song' and we're going to record it and how do we not make it worse, how do we make it better than him just playing it by himself, which is already usually quite great. We're kind of, we're arrangers really."
