David Sylvian: Love, devotion and divine intoxication
Interview by Anil Prasad.
DAVID SYLVIAN Love, devotion and divine intoxication by Anil Prasad Interview date: April 19, 1999 © Copyright 1999 by Anil Prasad
I t is as it should be." Those words are spoken by singer-songwriter David Sylvian in a new promotional film called Time Spent
When speaking to Innerviews, Sylvian immediately conveyed his dissatisfaction with the media process
Much to his chagrin, Sylvian is still most identified as the lead singer and key muse of the British avant-glam act Japan
Sylvian says he left because he needed to find his own voice
"The David Sylvian we'd always known was one of complete control
Sylvian wasted no time establishing a solo career
Sylvians musical journey since Brilliant Trees is a remarkable one
The discs also showcased Sylvian's prowess in choosing sidemen
The next step in Sylvians career was an unexpected one
Rain Tree Crow wasnt Sylvians only post-Japan collaborative effort
Sylvian looks back at the Fripp collaborations with very mixed feelings
It's unlikely that Sylvian, now 41 and the father of three, could have explored these themes with such nuance and depth previouslysuch is the impact of his recent personal, spiritual and artistic growth
Mick Karn: Honorable tension
Interview by Anil Prasad.
He and his bandmates David Sylvian, Richard Barbieri and Steve Jansen were responsible for some of the most interesting and quirky pop of the early '80s
But old tensions resurfaced as a dramatic rift with Jansen, Barbieri and Karn on one side and Sylvian on the other
Pitchfork Feature: Interview: David Sylvian
Story and interview by Chris Dahlen.
Mon: 12-05-05 Interview: David Sylvian Interview by Chris Dahlen | Photo by Derek Sumisu Even when he was a pop star, David Sylvian didn't want to play the role
Sylvian formed Japan at the end of the 1970s, with Mick Karn, Richard Barbieri, and his brother Steve Jansen (both Sylvian and Jansen changed their names from Batt)
As the frontman and main songwriter Sylvian adopted an image that was luminescent, mysterious, and androgynous, with a mane of bleached hair that influenced both Nick Rhodes and-- reportedly-- Princess Diana, and he led a band that took pop forms and insinuated its way beyond them
But that single-- and personal conflicts in the band-- persuaded Sylvian to break up Japan and work on his own
In addition to instrumental and ambient projects like Plight and Premonition with Holger Czukay, his principal solo albums of the 1980s stretched pop songs into longer forms and ambient passages; Sylvian's baritone carries the melodies, but the pieces are defined as much by atmospherics as writing
Although Sylvian worked sporadically throughout the '90s, his 2003 album, Blemish -- the first release on his own Samadhi Sound label-- may be the most powerful album he's ever recorded, the rare case where an artist uses his maturity to show more pain than he had in his youth

JAPAN NIGHTPORTER Steve Jansen, Rob Dean, David Sylvian, Richard Barbieri, Mick Karn 2nd July 'Assemblage' and 'Obscure Alternatives' remasters fixed! When the remastered versions of 'Obscure Alternatives' and 'Assemblage' were released in 2004 there were a few errors
Sandii & The Sunsetz remasters out 13th September 2006: Sandii - 'Eating Pleasure' (Sony MHCL855), Sunsetz - 'Heat Scale' (Sony MHCL858), 'Immigrants' (featuring David Sylvian on three songs) (Sony MHCL856) and 'Viva Lava Liva' (Sony MHCL857)
30th April Collectors Corner 2: 1978 Acetate This acetate, apparently once the property of David Sylvian himself, was auctioned on Ebay in 2005
1st April 'The Very Best of Japan' has prompted more email, including information from another third party stating categorically that David Sylvian had nothing to do with the track listing of the CD
Also if I were a band member, I'd probably be rather disgruntled that there's no photograph of any of them apart from Sylvian, or any listing in the CD booklet of who any of the musicians are

Darshan | Tributo a David Sylvian
Mp3, date delle esibizioni e file audio della band tributo a David Sylvian.
Darshan Tributo a David Sylvian Il progetto DARSHAN nasce nel '99 dall'incontro tra Stefano Rizzo (voce e chitarra) e Marco Comencini (chitarra e tastiere).I due, fortemente influenzati dallo stile musicale e vocale di David Sylvian, incominciano a collaborare con l'intento di riproporre live i brani del cantante inglese
Con questa formazione danno vita nella seconda metà del 2000 a una serie di seguitissimi concerti in locali e rassegne della Val Sangone, durante i quali propongono un repertorio di musiche e canzoni di Sylvian riarrangiate in chiave elettronico-acustica, inframmezzate da brani originali composti dal gruppo
Nello stesso periodo incidono il brano 'Wave', inserito nella compilation inglese Shadowplay-A tribute to David Sylvian
Il gruppo incomincia a riprendere i brani di Sylvian con l'intenzione, questa volta, di studiare a fondo ed ottenere il sound che da sempre contraddistingue questo genere: sonorità morbide e cariche di pathos, grande cura negli arrangiamenti e negli 'interventi' dei singoli strumenti, 'svuotamento sonoro' ai limiti del minimalismo

So what does the music of R-Three sound like?

{ Rhett Redelings '} vocals could remind a bit of David Sylvian and also an early Peter Gabriel - plus at times an echo from {John} Lennon , both concerning lyrics and atmosphere
All this is creative music, with some great surprises to it." - Gert Ove Fridlund, Hallandspoten, Sweden "...Similar in style to the David Sylvian and Robert Fripp collaboration of the early nineties..
