Interview with drummer Jaki Liebezeit

I have learned everything by myself by
listening
most of the things then by thinking and
then by training this experimental
drummer was part of revolutionary 70s
krautrock band ken
hi I’m Rebecca Brayton and welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re speaking
with yaki lipid site
can was revolutionary can you see how
the band is influencing today’s music
maybe we were one of the first bands who
had their own studios we never wrote
music like is like in some writing or so
we had our studio and like a laboratory
and started working and experimenting
we try to do something else at the time
everything we made is developed kind of
life in in the studio people they say
they they are influenced by can maybe
it’s a way of making music because today
it has become quite normal musicians
have their own studio today because you
have some computer and so you can make a
record set home
could you tell us about the live show
versus the reporting process how they’re
the same or different it’s not
completely the same if we take the
essence of the things from the record
that means that it has a certain rhythm
and it has certain melodic structures in
it and then we compose it again life in
terms of your music then and now how has
it evolved does the music you play now
with burnt Friedman get the same kind of
reaction worldwide or is it more
indicative of a European audience
actually I don’t care I’m not making
music for a special audience like for
especially young people of for Germans
for Americans so I don’t care so if
somebody likes it I’m happy I’ve heard
you compare your music to a football
game yes yes yes because there are rules
you have to accept these rules to play
the game and then use you kind of
improvise you have to develop creativity
to do something but keep the rules and
don’t shoot the ball out for me music is
similar except there’s no second party
hood who disturbs you all the time
