On the other hand, I'm very tolerant as well. I expect that everybody can play what they want. I'm only not tolerant when it comes to myself and what is presented on my album that I have to listen to for the rest of my life. Eberhard Weber
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
If there is a good musical reason, I think it might draw more attention and sell, though it is not guaranteed. To make a record without a musical reason, you have to either be a pop star who sells automatically or just be lucky. Eberhard Weber
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
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
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
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
At the time, I didn't know that bass would not be enough for me. I'm not a bass player because bass is always a background instrument even to this very day. Eberhard Weber
In 1972, I got my first electric bass and started playing the kind of instrument I play now. I found that the majority of musicians couldn't bear that. They are not used to listening to the bass because they think the bass is in the background to support them. Eberhard Weber
I realized pretty soon that I have to do more than just play bass in the background way. So, I developed a kind of playing which only a handful of musicians accepted. Eberhard Weber
I like to create the music I hear in my interior. As a conductor, you have the ability to squeeze the sounds and interpretation you asked for from 50 to 80 people. Eberhard Weber
Eberhard Weber quote: "The way to compose for me is to have lots of time."
The way to compose for me is to have lots of time. Eberhard Weber
As a result, I had to get my own playground which was my band Colours. This band lasted for about eight years and then the air was out of it and it was time to finish. Eberhard Weber
Eberhard Weber quote: "I am a classical music lover - not necessarily the..."
I am a classical music lover - not necessarily the contemporary stuff, but the old stuff. Eberhard Weber
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
