Questove on Prince’s Band Rehearsals

View this post on Instagram

The most telling part of @Prince’s personally imo was how he conducted himself in rehearsals. No doubt he was drill sgt disciplined (even as fly on wall i was rolling my eyes like “if HE CALLS DELIRIOUS ONE MORE DAMN TIME!!!!!!!) most people practice to get it right for showtime, he over-practiced to get them to the place of zen. It’s like only then when you master it so much that you can play “Little Red Corvette” in your sleep you can build on top of the perfection and explore colors (if you ever are fortunate enough to have the patience to study the 32 min version of #IWouldDie4u you can hear the results of when repetition becomes perfection then morphs into a trippy place that make total sense.—-but on the other hand there are plenty of silly moments like this 1999 era rehearsal in which he’s just messing around w Vanity 6 & Jamie Shoop (he calls Vanity her given name Denise)—this jam amazes me the most: that his idea of fun was jam sessions with ANYBODY including his tech, tourmanager and gf. I mean I know I love music more than anything but I ain’t tryna jam for an hour w no purpose w non musicians lol—but to hear this bit, he is having the time of his life. THAT is a commitment to music. That’s what we need to learn from @Prince. Fall jealously in love w our craft. Prince will never age.

INXS Name Giles Martin as Executive Music Director for Future Projects

0

Legendary Australian rock band INXS and Petrol Records have today announced that renowned music producer, composer and arranger, Giles Martin, is named as their Executive Music Director across a variety of ground-breaking future projects.

The award-winning producer and composer will have a creative overview on all audio aspects of upcoming INXS developments, including the eagerly-awaited documentary the untold story of INXS, the reimagining of the INXS catalogue through a dynamic and entirely unique live theatre show and their forthcoming repackaged, remixed and expanded studio albums, to be released via Universal Music Group (UMG) in partnership with Petrol Records.

Martin first met INXS in 1994 when working on The Great Music Experience, a spectacular concert starring Japanese and international musicians staged at the eighth century Buddhist temple of Tōdai-ji, in Nara, Japan. The chance meeting was the starting point for almost 25 years of friendship and an innate musical bond that led to Martin working on the band’s Greatest Hits compilation and subsequent projects.

Martin’s most recent collaboration with INXS saw him mixing their classic, multi-platinum album Kick in Dolby Atmos with Sam Okell at Abbey Road Studios for the seminal recording’s 30th anniversary reissue in 2017 via UMG. Delivering an avalanche of hits including ‘Need You Tonight’, ‘New Sensation’, ‘Never Tear Us Apart’, ‘Devil Inside’ and ‘Mystify’, Kick has sold over six million copies worldwide since its 1987 release and made INXS one of the biggest bands on the planet.

Martin famously reunited with his father, Sir George Martin, in 2004 to work on the soundtrack for “Love”, The Beatles-Cirque du Soleil show that opened in Las Vegas in June 2006. Earning Martin a Grammy Award, the critically acclaimed show and soundtrack album went on to break box office and sales records.

A chart-topping classical and pop songwriter and producer, Martin works across a diverse range of creative projects from film, television, emerging technology to the theatre. He is also a creative consultant for global audio giant, SONOS.

Originally formed in 1977, INXS’ career spans an extraordinary 40 years, during which they have sold over 50 million records worldwide, including No. 1 albums in four different continents. Their popularity has transcended generations, with 9.8 million monthly streams and over 3 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
