Interview with Gunnar Waage

by

Maurizio De Paola - chief editor of Drum Club Magazine in june 2009.

The drumming of Waage and the impossible rhythmic translation of the music of Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Rachmaninoff: All, assembled with the touch of  avant-garde jazz and at times of light heavy rock. It’s the orchestral Conception of the drumset, one, where the drumset replaces the conductors baton.

Adding to that, musicians like Percy Jones (former bassist of Brian Eno and David Sylvian), Tony Franklin and Derek Sherinian (DS scheduled for up coming album), take on duties on Waage’s highly intensive solo work, which includes Phase of matter (2005) and Take it outside (2008), both available free of charge on the web.

No business, resulting in only the pleasure to explore and - possibly violate the borders of a musical stereotype.
