Rockzone - TMF Extra
from Dutch TV-broadcast on TMF, 30 April 2001
[part of the Clogger video-clip is shown] DEE: We all just bring ideas in from each other. We kind of pick and choose what is going to work and what is not going to work. Hopefully agree upon everything. We just keep playing it, till everyone is happy ... until it feels good to everyone.
[part of the Clogger video-clip is shown] DEE: Life is spooky to me. Things that I deal with everyday ... things within myself ... things in society, ... everywhere. But at the same time I have hope ... that it's not going to overcome me. So, I just reflect that in my music, I guess.
[part of the Splinters video-clip is shown] Pascal Humbert: Well, the video was just a simple idea. A friend of us pulled all those images together from old archives-images. Just trying to keep it simple and (fitting to the ...) lyric.
[part of the Splinters video-clip is shown] DEE: Most of the songs are stories about things that happened in my family ... in my immediate family or distant relatives. Things that are very secretive and that you don't want to tell everybody.
[part of the live version of Wayfaring Stranger of the Melkweg-show is shown] DEE: It is different every night, for the most part for me. The songs themselves kind of force to be in a certain mood or give a certain amount of energy out. They kind of dictate the energy of the show ... the lyrics and the music ... and the mood of the music itself. We just let the music do what it does.
Pascal: The nature of the music we play can't just be played lightly. I think you have to go a bit deeper ... to play it. As soon as you do that the response comes from the public, which is different from one place to the other sometimes. Still it gives something back to us ... we can keep pumping ... those feelings from deep below and inside.
DEE: Basically we just try to play our parts properly ... pay attention to each song and to make sure it sounds the way it suppose to sound, and it is played the way it's suppose to be played.
Pascal: Nothing is thought off this way ... it's just the way we are. There is some contact between us that we know we are in touch with each other. The 4 of us know that.
