Guy Gerber Interview - Gddtv

Cameraman: What are you trying to do? Guy: To get a cigarette. I don't have money, but I can offer a key. Can I see how it looks? I think... you know this music, electronic music doesn't have lyrics most of the time and also when there are lyrics they're pretty blurred. So the name and the art of each song create, in a way, not the whole world, because the whole world is the music, but it's like another way to express what you are meaning. Interviewer: Did you derive any influence from LA? So in LA, there's this fake glamour here, you know it's very very dark and everybody here kind of, it's like a place for dreamers. But it's not a beautiful place for dreamers. There's a lot of, I dunno, depression here. There's more space for imagination, and when you go to the studio here, you really feel the city in the studio. Interviewer: When Fabric approached you to do the compilation, did you always intend to do all your own new stuff? Since I'm pretty busy with some other projects that I'm doing, when they offered for me to do the compilation, I said maybe it's a good thing, it's a good opportunity to do this. Also.... because I'm a little bit bored of just making tracks after I've been doing it for a long time. And when you do something like this, it's just the essence of the track. I don't have to do the intro or the outro. So I would just, you know, at the end of each song, I didn't have to now do the boring parts, you're just already in the next part, so that was fun. (laughs) 11:11, it's me and Puff Daddy. It's a project we did together. One time he approached me and he wanted to do some music together. But at that time he was working on his artist album, Last Train To Paris. In the beginning he said, "Why don't you just do a remixed version of my album?" You know, so something a little bit more psychedelic, weird, and I dunno, quirky. But then, the more we progressed with the process in the end we realized the music can really stand on its own. So we said, "Let's just release it as an album." So, what is the question? What I'm doing next... Well I actually have this new project with this guy Clarian, from the Fabric CD, we're going to do some stuff together, we still don't know exactly how, but I'm doing a lot of stuff with him. I'm also working with Steady. It's my next release on my label. It's an EP I did with a guy from dOP. I'm also working with Life and Death. My new album... it'll be more song based. ... and more depressing. (laughs) I'm kidding. No, no. Yeah. My artist album. All the songs will have singers. So it's gonna be songs, it's gonna be slower, it's gonna be um, yeah, more songs. It will happen in 2013. The album. I hope. Interviewer: What do you drink before your set? I kinda like drinking *** on the rocks, because I heard, some people tell me that it's wrong, but it's like the healthiest thing, because like when you use mixers it's really bad for the stomach. So I got used to drinking it straight, and now I can only drink it on the rocks. Now, like if I have it with a mixer it feels very weird to me. But I really like when people, especially girls, ask if they can have some of my drink. I say of course. The face that they make, it's great, I like it. I will just say something, girls come and go, but the music always stays. Once I said it, and I got so much *** for it, but in the end I was right.
