A SHORT CHAT WITH GARY LUCAS
Gary Lucas will be at
Zappanale. He will be bringing his Captain Beefheart Symposium, he will be doing
a solo concert, performing with his Fast 'n' Bulbous Captain Beefheart Project,
and he will be guesting with other bands.
Gary Lucas : I have been working on an album "Gary Lucas' Cinefantastique" which will contain solo guitar arrangements of famous film music by Nino Rota, Bernard Herrmann, et al., plus some of my own, including music I composed for "Lalee's Kin", a documentary by Maysles Films ("Gimme Shelter", "Grey Gardens") that was nominated for an Academy Award. I love film music ever since I was a little boy, there is something haunting about a good film theme that stays with you and acts to trigger memories of the whole film when you hear it. They are like classic pop songs in miniature, albeit instrumental.
UniMuta : Another fascinating side of Gary Lucas. Sounds great.
Thank you & see you in a couple of weeks in Bad Doberan.
Gary Lucas : LOOKING FORWARD

August 1 - 4, 2012
Bad Doberan
Germany
Gary was also present at the 2011 edition of the Zappanale festival. The
audience had a great time, and it looked like Gary had a good time as well.
UniMuta : From my personal point of view, last year's edition of Zappanale was a real treat: both the music and the atmosphere were great. How do you look back on it?
Gary Lucas : One of the best festivals I have ever played! The sense of community was awe-inspiring, and the music sublime. The people who showed up had such great energy ad a anifest love of music. And what a trip to find old fans and friends of mine who had traveled all the way from far-flung places (I ran into people I knew from Sweden, Prague, the US etc.) to commune in Bad Doberan over a love of Frank Zappa's music and adventurous music in general!
UniMuta : Last year, you performed with Co de Kloet, did a solo concert, played with The Plastic People Of The Universe, guested with Essra Mohawk,... Are these all different aspects of your musical mind? It's all so different. How do you prepare?
Gary Lucas : I love all sorts of music and do all sorts of different musical projects continuously--it enables me to keep working full time as a musician and it keeps me from getting bored. I am not sure how I manage it except to say I am a double Gemini and have lots of different musical personas inside me. Like Walt Whitman once said: "I contain multitudes".
UniMuta : I'm glad to hear that you will be bringing your Captain Beefheart Symposium to Bad Doberan. You will also be performing with Doctor Dark, a Beefheart tribute band, and with your fabulous Fast 'n' Bulbous project. It's good to see that there will be a fine dose of Beefheart at Zappanale. How have the reactions been towards the Captain Beefheart Symposium so far? Is this something that you would like to do more often?
Gary Lucas : Yes I would. The world needs to know what a giant once walked the earth, and it saddens me when I draw a blank mentioning his name to so many people. But this was also the case when Don Van Vliet was alive...so I aim to change things and try and raise people's consciousness regarding Beefheart's art in all its variegated splendor.
UniMuta : I have always been fascinated by the variety of your various projects and musical interests. Can you already tell us what your next project will be about?

MUTLEHT ART & PSYCHOFON RECORDS
Browsing the Psychofon Records website for the new Ostrich Von Nipple album, I came across some interesting facts.
http://www.psychofonrecords.com
The one that blew my mind was:

The Eyeball Museum...
If I'm reading it correctly, it's in Bremerhaven, Germany.
I don't know if this is a permant thing, so if anyone has some extra info, please let me know.

A SHORT CHAT WITH SANDRO OLIVA
Sandro Oliva
will be performing at Zappanale #23.
Sandro has performed on earlier editions of Zappanale. This year, he will be performing in his own right, as Sandro Oliva.
Sandro
Oliva : It
will be basically my own five piece band. Mauro Andreoni is my keyboard player
since 1986 (he replaced Don in the Grandmothers in 1998 and early 2000), his son
Ares is on drums (they were both with Essra and me last year). Gianluca Ferranti
on bass, and Mauro Centrella on sax and vocals. If this combo doesn't sound like
the '90s Grandmothers (minus Jim, yes), I'm an Astronaut!
Sandro
Oliva : I
hope the projected tour with Essra will happen some day. At the moment financial
problems makes it very unlikely.
Sandro
Oliva : At
Zappanale we'll play a bunch of Garrick Theatre songs that I had re-arranged
(oops, RE-ORCHESTRATED!!) for the Grannies, plus some of my own tunes. Wait and
see!
Sandro
Oliva : OBVIOUS
MUSIC is my own label, but I only had web or limited edition releases. I'm
looking for a producer or a bigger label for a new CD.
Sandro has performed on earlier editions of Zappanale. This year, he will be performing in his own right, as Sandro Oliva.
UniMuta
: Hello Sandro, how do you feel about playing at Zappanale again?
Sandro
Oliva : First
of all is great to be at the Zappanale again. And what's even more exciting,
this will be my first time with my own show. I played in 1994 with the
Grandmothers, last year with Essra, and now it will be ME.
UniMuta
: Who will you bring along?
UniMuta
: Last year you performed at Zappanale with Essra, and talked about
possibilities of touring together with Essra, is this still scheduled?
UniMuta
: Do you have any other concerts planned?
Sandro
Oliva : I
have just played a bunch of gigs in Italy, this is a new line-up (new rhithm
section), so we're still basically playing the 1998/2000 Grandmothers show which
I had put together. In fall, we will renew the repertoire.
UniMuta
: What material will you be performing at Zappanale?
UniMuta
: How is your Obvious Music Label? Have you released anything recently? Are
there new releases scheduled?
UniMuta
: Thank you very much, Sandro. & see you soon.
Sandro
Oliva will be performing at the Zappanale Festival in Bad Doberan, Germany, on
Wednesday, August 01, 2012.
Around 21.00 h.
