Goldie returnz...

Paul Morley talks to Goldie. Goldie's already talking about becoming a blue-sky-thinking Classical evangelist, breaking all the up-and-comers who send him their mixtapes erm manuscripts

Goldie's piece is first

i enjoyed this. i liked the fact the ppl he was working with genuinely seemed to be worried. gave the whole thing a real sense of drama, compared to most reality tv progs like this. but i did feel a bit sorry for goldie. i wonder how his piece will end up. did like his graphic illustration of all the dynamics he wanted. i think his insecurity about taking on such a big challenge were obv making it a struggle for him, but i dont know why he doesnt just do a rough 'sketch' of his ideas on his computer like his normal pieces and then get the orchestra to play it/flesh it out for him. or maybe its just that he has no melodies in his head to begin with.

Good reviews all round from the broadsheets. The bit at 9:40 is quality.

 

[Ach!]

I thought the piece was fantastic.
