SHANGAY EXPRESS: How did the idea for Women of water ? JAVIER
LEMON: After working with Eleftheria , I realized that a number of things that all countries bordering the Mediterranean have in common. From there, I started looking for these countries the typical songs forgotten or hidden issues that are some gems scrotumtightening and that inspired me to compose. When I found the code I started looking at the performers.
SE: There's nothing like pulling agenda for this disc.
JL: course. I have many friends and all my staff are women, from the sound engineer to my manager. I think in the world of music, and flamenco and jazz in particular, women are undervalued. It seems they can only sing and dance. I I have a very natural relationship with them, and ninety percent of the records I produce are of female artists from Victoria Abril to Luz Casal. I do not know why, but I do better with them. Would have to call some psychoanalysts to explain it ... This album is dedicated specifically to women who could not sing in it, because, for example, I wanted to participate in the disc Iranian interpreter finally could not. Not that I am a pain in the ass to be doing cansautor propaganda, but I wanted to clarify the situation of Middle Eastern singers. Beyond that, all the singers responded that I asked. It's been satisfaction, and is now being crazy coordinate all because we will organize concerts with twelve cities like Madrid and Barcelona. I usually make life difficult enough with these things.
SE: Mix bulerías soniquetes of Kurdistan is a rather strange combination ...
JL: Yes, but I like to mix all of that and the result is not a pain. When I finish a disc may take a year or two until I can again hear the relaxed without turning to studio tricks I've used. However, I have heard this from the outset by the sophistication of the proposal: twelve songs with twelve pieces of artists.
SE: You tend to get involved in several projects at once. Do you suffer from hyperactivity musical?
JL: From the musical and non musical. I am a guy quite hyper, but I do not have the gift of good taste. My only solution is to generate a lot of work to do screen and choose the best. There are many projects that I'd be, but I realize that my successes are sometimes based on say no to certain things. Now I want to dedicate myself more to the creative and composition to production.
SE: Does it bother you identified before as a producer than as a composer?
JL: bothered me before I was called a producer, because in the world of music is linked to the projects in a different way than it does in the movies. The music producer would be like the film director, decides on the repertory, performers and participate in the creative process. Executive produce your product is very good because it forces you to keep your feet on the ground. When you know the cost of an instrument, it takes away all this mystical nonsense with the artists and can be dangerous. The depth in art is relative, so I like the pragmatic people, as Lady GaGa or Paco de Lucia .
SE: Did you come to Lady GaGa's musical interests?
JL: No. What I have studied is the fact that all the world to study it. A musical level I do not care, I do not bring anything, does what any girl in the Bronx of fourteen who plays and sings. To me what surprises me is the ladygaguismo, that interests me.
SE: You took part in the assembly of anonymous Valentine . Are you still interested in musical theater?
JL: I am very interested, but the negative part of musical theater in Spain is that they tend to choose songs famous and write about them a script usually boring and pointless. Would be called the Anglo-Saxon and German, where the music serves the story. The big score to settle in our country is to compose our own music and myths.
SE: What other projects do you prepare?
JL: Women After water will fire Man, where I'll go musically over the Middle East, and I would like to invite and Jorge Drexler Antonio Carmona .
WOMEN'S WATER THE ALBUM IS RELEASED BY HOUSE LEMON / UNIVERSAL MUSIC.
