Interview By Miriam "NocturnalConcerto" C.
Trascription and editing by Andy Axworthy, Robin Stryker & Miriam "NocturnalConcerto" C.
I've watched "I Feel Immortal" video and I love it. I think that it's the best videoclip ever of your solo career. If I'm not wrong you have shot the video in Iceland...can you tell us more about the story?
Thank you! The storyboard was drawn by the director, Jörn Heitmann. And we were talking about it very closely with him, where we should go to shoot this very emotional video. And Iceland paints the picture because we wanted to shoot something immortal in the video. And what could be immortal? It was definitely this waterfall, mountains, rocks and ocean, something that is immortal. We went there, and it was incredibly beautiful country with these amazing places to visit and film. And it was beautiful, really beautiful, we were very lucky. The story is about the cycle of life. What is life about? Life is about loving somebody, losing somebody, struggling to find your way in life, the cycle of life. So that is about that. It is a very, very emotional video.
This year you have partecipated at the Miskolc festival. And at the press conference a journalist asked you if this gig will be out in DVD and you have replied that "no, because for do it you need to record at least 2 gigs and a lot of preparation." Have you in mind to record something for a DVD during the upcoming tour?
Definitely! The plan is really to make a proper DVD from my shows that I’m going to be performing here for "What Lies Beneath". I’m very, very happy that there will be lots of concerts coming up, and I know already that I coming to Milan also. It’s going to happen this year. We don’t know the dates yet but I can already tell you that it is going to happen. It’s not a surprise because I don’t even know yet the date but what I do know is that I am coming to Italy this year – you can write about that!
And again talking about the Miskolc gig : have you in mind to publish the audio recording of the Miskolc gig like has done Epica with "The Miskolc Conspiracy"?
Oh?! What conspiracy? I don’t know! I have no plan to release an audio nor a video from that show because it was the first show of the summer that we did with the band. There were a few songs that needed to be prepared and there was really a lot of rehearsing and preparation going on at that time. So I do not have a concrete plan to release an audio from that show.
I push a little bit the button : have you recorded it?
We haven’t recorded that. Me and my crew, we have not recorded that but I think the local people have done that.
After doing cover of Deep Purple's "Child In Time" with Rata Blanca, Alice Cooper's "Poison", this time you have done a cover of Whitesnake's "Still Of The Night" that will be present like bonus, if I'm not wrong. Why choose this song?
Oh, well, first of all, all of these bands that you mention have been very much influences because I’ve been a fan of them from already long ago. All these ‘80s bands have been a part of my growing process. And the thing is that "Still of the Night" is a song that I really love the melody always, the original melody, so much. But I had a kind of a conscious thought about this, about, "How should I do the song? What kind of mind-blowing orchestral arrangement and choir arrangement would I use for the song, if I dare do it?" And definitely now it has this huge orchestra and choir on it and it’s a quite a bit heavier version than the original. I love it very much.
Why is "Witch-Hunt" not present on the album?
Oh, I wrote more than 30 songs actually for the album, so there were many, many songs left out. And "Witch-Hunt" is a song that is done, and written, and left for later on. So hopefully one point of view I can have a chance to use. It was a hard decision in general for me to choose between certain songs for this album.
Last question - For starting, I want to tell you that I love your stage dresses are fantastic! Here @ Femme Metal Webzine we have always a moment that we call "The women area" and we ask always about woman things. I'll gonna ask you some curiosity about your stage dresses : who is your stylist?
Well I have a girl -- a very good friend of mine in Finland -- designing together with me my performance. Yes, as a matter of fact, they are a very, very important part of my show of course. That all my clothes are changing, it’s a visuality together with the music. It’s very important. As well as there is a designer in Argentina called Marian Marquez. From her, I’ve found very, very nice clothes. Always when I return back to Argentina, I go to check out the pieces they have. But it’s been really created by these two ladies.
So Tarja, we're at the end hope you have enjoyed my questions and thanks for your time. Just leave a word for our fans and users, if you want.
That’s very sweet, thank you. I wish you a very good day, thank you for calling, and I hope to see you in Milan!
