My First Date Holy Nurseries Jack's interview : June 29th 2012

Hello. Boys are dipping and tripping ?

Boys are on holiday.  Doing what they do.

No comments.

Cannot say very much.

Illegal businesses ?

Do not know what they are doing. Not a curious control freak.

Holy Ghosts are ready to roll ?

Sort Of. Listening the songs every now and then, and thinking, if there is anything we could do for them. Few songs are still under construction.

You are writing new melodies for the Boys' next album. Did you run out of old melodies ?

Yes. Looks like that we are sort of getting back to the old Space Waves sound. Songs I have written are slightly more classical than songs in Space Waves.

You are writing new melodies for the Boys' next album. Did you run out of old melodies ?

No. There is around 200 melodies in the pool. We have used approximately 50 from the melodies earlier. And that's not all. When we made Ghost Opera, we took all music box melodies into it. Even the ones which were initially doomed as failed. Got them going quite well.

But you are writing new songs for Boys next album ?

Yes. When you use new melodies you get fresh sounds to the songs. The style and noting sequences of the old melodies have been used earlier.

Wrote new melodies for Space Waves, too. Although not brand new, Ghost Opera  had also melodies, which could be nominated as unique to the album.

What will it be like ?

Don't know yet. I am not 100 percent sure, that the already written melodies will be used on the next album.

The current melody pool is different from earlier albums. Using new tones in the melodies.

New for you ?

Yes. New for us. Don't know how new they are in general.

* * The Riddle * *

How does it go, looks like an old . . .

Let me put it this way. It looks like an old which, and sounds like an old harp, what it is ?

It's my wife.

Yap. Although the style is popular, it is not a very nice joke. So we decided to drop it away from the primary context.

* * Back to the stone age * *

Heading back to the stone age with Flintstones ?

Yes. At the same time the world is heading back to the stone age with current power keepers.

Khrrm . . .  aah . . .  the short sequences are for the live performances ?

They are for the people, who plans the show.

And also to the song.

Adding something new to the song, always needs to be adapted to the existing song.

When making the final version for the live performance it is easy to lengthen the sequences. So that the sequence is long enough for the things choreographer wants to play on stage.

If there aren't anything special, you can always play some special effects during the sequence.

Like bombs and other explosives.

Or fire and lighting.

How about falling stars.

You mean flares.

Or some surround sound effect.

Okay. You said, that the Flintstones is not very different from Music Box version.

It has grand opening, and two verses.

Solos are composed. We play them from notes.

In the Music Box we just played something into the solo section.

I rearranged the recorded solo notes for the new version.

* * Favorite Nanny * *

Your favorite Nanny, you only talk about her ?

No. She is very nice, quiet young woman.

In real life.

How does she feel about you ?

She is not here, to tell you.

What do you think, getting your picture to the covers of the popular album.

It is one of the best things, which can happen to a model . . .  or woman . . . Lots of positive long term publicity.

People all around the world adores you and your pictures.

Okay . . .  that's it . . . I am what I am is still your favorite from Holy Ghosts ?

Work time favorites changes a lot.

Some song with what you have worked recently, usually raises to your favorites.

Cover from Apache has been quite popular amongst us.

The guitar classic from Shadows ?

Yes. That's the song.

It is almost non-commercial,

Yes. It is much like the non-commercial songs we have done earlier.

But there is a small problem with our non-commercial songs and projects.

They are non-commercial only in our dreams. After they are released our listeners like them.

Sad about it ?

No.

It just happens.

Some editors from movie medias are always playing with a thought, that it would be cool, if we hated the success of Boys' songs. 

It would also mean, that we would hate our listeners.

And we do not hate our listeners.

Quite glad, that we are not in main stream movie medias.

They can put an end to everything. Was there anything else ?

The Pee Girl, is she a band member ?

No. Jack.

The pictures and the sensational Pee Girl are ten years old.

Something else ?

No. Thanks for your time.

Not at all, you're welcome.

* * Looney Toones * *

Nursery Rhymes EP is completely released. You think it will be classic ?

Don't know, what it will be.

It will be permanent contents in here. At least.

Time shows.

Not going to make new mixes from these songs for a while.

Yes. Already pushed the limits as far as we could.

Takes quite long before we can get anything new to them.

Looney Toones, who invented the plings to the last verse ?

It's a bell which is played and ringing in the last verse.

Don't remember who invented to add them to the song. Jack ?

Not me.

I think, that we took it from the classical music, think that such things exist in some classical power sequences.

Not a new thing in music. 

Nothing new under the sun.

Music is so old, that almost everything has been done already.

Looney Toones is a perfect play ?

No. There was the sequence after the blast.

During the blast too.

Added the blast over it afterwards.

Nice sound, you didn't extend the song at that point.

You have to listen the song very carefully.

Quite many things in the song ?

Ever heard the original score.

It lasts only ten seconds.

Already extended the song to one minute for Music Box. 

When you make full length 3 minute song from short fanfares, you have to add many things to the song. 

Looney Toones is a story for live performances ?

Could say, that the song has an imaginary story.

But not necessarily for live performances.

Made the song for the younger audiences.

The told story would bind the imagination of the younger people.

The song has a story, but you have to use your imagination when you build it.

Video from the song would probably concentrate on you and your wild plays.

* * Pancakes * *

You like pancakes, with strawberry jelly and sugar.

Delicious.

Yes.

My favorites too.

You do not have any difficulties with your image and your favorite food ?

What do you mean ?

The publicity problem. 

You got to eat something. Pancakes with jelly and sugar tastes delicious.

Trying to be as honest as we can.

If we like pancakes and ice cream, why should we lie about it. 

* * * *

What next ?

We go back to holidays.

There will be quite quiet on the site during the summer. 

Songs will be here for you, of course.

Yes. Of course. Not very many new pages, blog chapters coming.

Okay. Thanks, and have a good summer.

Thanks. Good summer to you too.
