Influence 13: Allan Holdsworth

 

Ce qui m'a le plus influencé chez Allan Holdsworth, c'était sa volonté d'être libre, d'aller en dehors des approches conventionnelles..

Extrait de l'un de ses entretiens, à propos de Tesla :  "It's about this particular tower and Nikola Tesla. I was intrigued when I read the big book with his patents and everything. He seemed to be a guy who was doing things, being really creative and it seemed he wasn't in the right time to be doing what he was doing. Although what he did contributed to everyone and everyone benefited, not many people actually know he was responsible for all the things he did. When I started working on that track Wardenclyffe Tower, I had this idea of Tesla in his workshop. So, when I finished that piece, I thought well, that would be a good title for the whole record." https://www.innerviews.org/inner/holdsworth-1

J'ai donné un entretien autour de l'envie d'Holdsworth d'aller le plus loin possible dans ses improvisations: entretien avec Gilbert Quélennec sur les improvisations d'Allan Holdsworth, dans l'émission Guitare passion de David Marnay , Radio fidélité, septembre 2019

I gave an interview about Holdsworth's desire to go as far as possible in his improvisations: interview with Gilbert Quélennec on Allan Holdsworth's improvisations, in David Marnay's Guitare passion program, Radio fidélité, September 2019
