5Q-interview with Joel Bakan

TB_joel1.jpg
Earlier, I interviewed the sound designer of the film ‘The Corporation’ Velcrow Ripper for the 5Q-interview series. This film being an important source of inspiration for the song No More, I am very happy to now present the 5Q-interview with Joel Bakan.

He is the writer and filmmaker of the book and film ‘The Corporation’. Joel also happens to be a musician; co-producing and playing in the band of his actress/singer wife Rebecca Jenkins.

Bakan: "Then act, and keep acting, forever"

Time For A Break: First Episode!

Life of a musician in the studio is a lot of blood, sweat and tears...well..mostly sweat, actually. Anyway, every now and then, I need a break. And you, sitting behind your desk, are entitled to one, too. (Look it up, it's in your Collective Labour Agreement).


I only have to get up and take a look out of the windows of my tropical recording studio to get some relaxation. In Time For A Break you -too- can see what's going on in and outside my solar studio in the Caribbean. Check out the very first episode called Iguana.
