New interview with Billy Corgan talks about Oceania as part of the Teargarden project
May 24, 2012
by MonteLDS
The following quotes are based off of translations by Google Translate.
In a new interview with Jenesaipop.com Billy was asked about the sound of Oceania live compared to the studio release to which he said “it is difficult to explain, on the album is more beauty than you can actually find live, because everything live to be easier. Things like delays, include a third or fourth guitar … Even if you could recreate every detail on the stage, it would be lost.”
When asked about if Oceania is still part of Teargarden
“I still consider it part of ‘Teargarden’. It is still important to me since we are running the project, but I think ‘Oceania’ would not have been possible without all you’ve done in ‘Teargarden’. To me it’s like an evolution back to a place I want to make records and I am so excited about music as it was when I was twenty. It is taking me a while to find a truly organic and natural from which to make music again and not the typical nonsense for the recording industry.”
