reach inside when you create your music?
When sound carriers are on the stage, there works a
magnet field between us and we get chemistry and it
works. Sound creating is limitless world of time and
space. You can go to any direction as we find information
at the moment … one can make one music, two
can make three music. I mean. It’s our conversation
and understanding.
Are you aware of the huge influence you’ve had
on bands like The Fall in the UK? Do you get much
contact from any UK bands?
I say it’s not bad they found something about us, they
had good tastes. I have many contact with UK bands
as I perform every time with different sound carriers in
different cities. Mostly young unknown but ambitious
bands. To make contact is easy today with internet access.
Internet is the greatest development for years.
In May you are playing major UK cities. How do
you find the UK?
UK is something special. It works well with instant
composing. Even small places there’s always carriers
who like to perform with me and their quality of play-
BUY Damo Suzuki music online from and
ing is high. Audience is honestly … if they like it they
like it. They are not shy to travel for long distances
to visit and be in our event. Sound carriers who performed
with me mail me to perform with them again
and some of them organise shows with themselves.
Fancy witnessing a musical legend in close motion
then? An icon of the psychedelic-punk age?
The man who taught most of our musical masters to
sing? To be able to see the whites of his wise eyes
sing out sweet and formidable odes. “This is the
moment” says Damo, “we are together with audience
in trance.” We’re not talking Phil Collins here.
The venue’s Damo and his Network will be playing
are intimate in size, and should capture a certain
incomparable atmosphere if you’ve never seen his
performance before. Don’t exactly walk on glass to
see this one-off underground superstar, but you could
try crawling. It might be worth it. And if you wanna
join him for a psychedelic freakout session then you
can always have a word with this guy. He’s cool. He’s
approachable.
He’s Damo Suzuki. �
