Here’s an interview I did at the MusikMesse 2013 with Mattias IA Eklundh. I met him for the first time in 2009 for an audio interview you can find in episode #38. This time we talked about his latest solo album “The Smorgasborg”, his True Temperament equiped Caparison guitars, his next projects and many more.

The video of the interview is available online on YouTube (see player below) and as an MP3 file in the podcast feed.

Extracts from “The Smorgasbord” played before the interview in the MP3 version :

Musth
Hells Bells
Crossing The Rubicon
That’s Amore

Yes you HAVE to make a stupid crazy face pic when you meet with Mattias, it’s mandatory so here you go :

During the MusikMesse 2013 I had the opportunity to meet Ola Strandberg who is the master mind and luthier behind .strandberg* guitars. The design of his guitars is pretty radical and optimized to have the best ergonomic.

Here’s the interview done in the noisy environment in front of Hall 4.0:

Hello,

For the release of his solo album Transition I had the pleasure to meet Steve Lukather for a video interview.

I have fond memories of playing over and over a VHS tape (yes, I am that old) where Steve explained his licks so you can imagine I was quite thrilled to meet the man himself.

Subjects discussed during the interview :

His new guitar, the Luke III from Ernie Ball Music Man
The recording of his latest solo album Transition (which I think is great)
His guitar playing over the years
His current projects
And many more

As usual this interview is available in video on YouTube and in audio format in mp3 via the podcast.

Extracts from Transition played in the audio version :

Transition
Creep Motel
Rest Of The World
Smile (the superb instrumental song we talk about in the interview)

Enjoy,

Pierre.
