Tori Amos: Piece by Piece

Neste mês, para além, do seu mais recente álbum The Beekeeper (lançamento:22 de Fevereiro), Tori Amos dá a conhecer o seu processo criativo- como as suas ideias passam a melodias, a canções e, muito mais do que isso, no seu primeiro livro "Tori Amos: Piece by Piece" (lançamento:8 de Fevereiro), escrito também pela jornalista Ann Powers.

Da introdução:

Now, backstage at an undisclosed arena where the sweat of athletes is still perfuming my makeshift dressing room, my many conversations with Ann Powers have begun . . .

“You come from the journalist side. I come from the artist side. It can become offensive. I’m sure from your side as well as from mine.”

“Well, it’s true everyone expects us to be enemies. And in some ways we are. My job is interpretation. Yours is art, which often benefits from mystery . . .”

Ann and I decided to strip our roles back to basics. We are both women born feminists in the 1960s. We are both married. We are both mothers. We are both in the music industry. Traditionally we are enemies. But for this project to be effective, I had to allow Ann to expose Tori Amos. And Tori Amos’s inner circle. And me.”
