Peter's joke from an interview :-)

[kowk]

Peter's joke from an interview (very interesting) for Polish Jazz Forum magazine from 1996.
Peter said about his composition Oh Well:
First I wrote the second atmospheric and acoustic Part Two, and then Part One which was a hit.
I'm not sure if I wanted to be commercially successful but I think- Oh Well Part One is one of the first RAP songs. (laugh)

Rap sells and Vaughn Williams does not

however OH Well part one is rap to instrumental call and rersponse. I do not know enough about rap but i do not believe they have yet explored that possibility

what do you mean by "rap to instrumental call and response"?

[doodyhead]

If you notice ,the only words sung during the music are "Oh Well".
the pattern is musical phrase, pause Lyric incantation, musical refrain, instrumental, pause , lyric incantation, musical refrain, instrumental finalle. That the sections repeat so predictably, it is as if it is a call and response.


one interpretation anyway
. and then there is the "atmospheric" instrumental Oh Well
