Abspielen / Play Bühne / Stage Darsteller / Actor Geschrieben / Written Instrumente / Instruments Stattdessen / Instead Symphonie / Symphony Teile / Parts
I've written lots of songs on the piano. My mother had a piano and it was the first instrument I played.
The part an actor played on stage was once written on a separate roll of paper.
So, for instance, if you came to me, I'd ask, 'Do you want to write? Do you want to improvise? Why do you want to play this instrument? What do you want to do?'
I'm an instinctive actor. I just see the part and play it. I'm more interested in what isn't said - the silences.
Composers love to write for symphony orchestras because the symphony is the Rolls Royce of musical instruments.
For me it's the instrument. If I want to think of a flute and the state of the arts I hear a vibrato; I don't know what a flute is unless the person plays it for me.
I won't get into it any more than to say that there are parts of me in all the songs that I write.
Writing a play, you start with less, so more is demanded of you. It's as if you have to not only write a symphony, but invent the instruments as well.
An auditory scenario for the players to act out with their instruments.
