It’s better to finish at the peak or soon after it, than to wait until the audience notices a decline. Eberhard Weber Read Quote
Whenever I release a record, it’s my record. It’s not a selfish thought. I may work all year ’round for other people. So, finally, when I come out with my own album, it should be me with the creative help of other musicians. Eberhard Weber Read Quote
When I think back now to the recording sessions, there is more improvisation than one hears. It’s an ideal combination of arrangements and improvisation. Only a few people are able to listen and say what is composed and what is improvised. It’s a unit. Eberhard Weber Read Quote
There are always some doubts when you do a new album though. You wonder whether you succeeded or not, especially when you waited as long as I did for this one – seven years. You’re never really sure if it will be a nice record or not. Eberhard Weber Read Quote
The problem is that I don’t want to add another record to the world that is not necessary to be published, except to make some business. There has to be a musical reason. Eberhard Weber Read Quote
Orchestras are not used to playing the kind of stuff jazz musicians like to play. It requires a lot of rehearsal and recording time, so it’s much easier to do on a synth or sampler. So, we came up with that idea. Eberhard Weber Read Quote
Orchestra had a little brass ensemble on two tracks as well, but the rest was me. I knew I couldn’t continue in this direction, even if people liked it, because I can only duplicate myself. Eberhard Weber Read Quote
On the other hand, when I give it closer thought, I realize I’m not enough of a dictator to conduct an orchestra because it requires a pretty awful person. When you read these biographies of famous conductors, they are all awful people who fail in their private relationships. Eberhard Weber Read Quote
