Kit Bradley - WeirdMusic.net Exclusive Interview:

 

- Do you Like/Write Weird Music ??

I love weird music.  Anything that sounds different and real appeals to me.  I don't know if  I write weird music- you tell me!  I would certainly consider myself weird.  The biggest insult to me is to be called normal.

- When and where did your experience in music start?

My dad has a really eclectic taste in music and so I was influenced by everything from Tchiakovsky to Jethro Tull from an early age.  My first memory of wanting to create a unique musical experience was when I was about 10.  I was sat with a guitar and thought 'I wonder if I could play this like a cello, be a pioneer and become famous?' obviously that didn't happen though!.  I played lots of different orchestral instruments but I always wanted to sing.  However I was terrified of singing and it took me a long time to be brave enough to do it.

- What are you currently working on and what are your plans for the rest of the year ?

I'm writing as ever, hoping to get paid to write and perform one day.  I'm also trying to record my songs- albeit in quite a 'rustic' style- to put on the web.  I'm just trying to get my stuff out there basically. 

- What do you consider your greatest inspirational sources in music ? 

 I think if you're an artist of any kind you're inspired by all sorts of things.  For me it's largely life experiences and just an overwhelming need to create.  I can't say it's a logical process.  I just sit down and, if it happens, I tend to write everything as I go along.  I'm not sure where it comes from.  I'm still a little surprised and confused myself so i'll get back to you when I figure it out.

- Please describe your personal studio for us...

I wish I had one!! At the moment I have a load of guitars i can't play properly and my piano's residing elsewhere.  I am writing and recording by using a very basic computer programme and an old yamaha keyboard

- What are your favorite readings ?

I absolutely love literature but I'm pretty scatty when it comes to reading and I find that I'll be reading and then 4 pages later realise I've been thinking about something else.  I really love the Brontes though.  Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights especially.  I also love biographies, Florence Nightingale and Isadora Ducan's were fantastic.

- In your opinion, what role does the third sector, public and non-
  profit entities; have for music on the Internet ?

I'm just a wacky writer................

- Who is Wacky Jacky ?

Me?

- Are you religious ?

I'm really spiritual but not religious.  I believe in keeping a calm head and promoting a loud heart wherever and whenever possible.

- Anything else ?

Stay cool...??
