Thanks for reducing Zorn`s 60 albums down to something more graspable - if any musician needed a beginner`s guide here, it`s him !
I`m going to take your advice and start with The Bribe, if I can find it, as some of that other stuff sounds pretty unsettling.
Zorn comes across very well in the interview clip, doesn`t he ? He expresses himself really clearly and is happy to talk about some quite banal influences, which a lot of composers would turn their nose up at. I mean, fancy paying attention to cartoon music; that would never occur to me.
Actually, when he talked about growing up with the tv on, he reminded me of the guys from The Tubes, who used to say the same thing, although they took the influence and ran with it in a different direction.
