DJ CJ: Alright guys, this is DJ CJ here with WKNC 88.1 and I’m here with…
Geordie Greep: Geordie Greep.
DJ CJ: Geordie Greep!
DJ CJ: And I just have one question for you, it’s quite simple or you know, as complex as you want to make it, but it’s what does music mean to you?
Geordie Greep: Ah, it’s the best thing in the world you know,
DJ CJ: Yeah!
Geordie Greep: it’s like pure expression you know
DJ CJ: Mhm.
Geordie Greep: its something that you try to imitate nature and imitate the universe, but also it’s like why does certain music sound good and sound bad, it’s like a mystery you know.
DJ CJ: Mhm.
Geordie Greep: And that’s all it is, and it’s like trying to find how and find out why certain things make you feel so good and trying to replicate them in your own music and trying to search and find them you know,
DJ CJ: Yeah!
Geordie Greep: That’s it, that’s it.
DJ CJ: Well hey, thank you so much!
Geordie Greep: Have a good one bro!
DJ CJ: You as well! Thank you, thank you!
It was such a pleasure and great opportunity to meet and interview Geordie Greep at this year’s Hopscotch Festival! He was very nice and easy to talk to, he signed my record of his project “The New Sound” and then I talked to him a bit about the beautiful Telecaster and Gibson he played on stage that night! While this interview was very short and sweet, it made me realize that this is a project that I for sure want to start, and that project is asking artists/bands (especially ones who do music as their full time career) “What does music mean to you?” Like I said in the interview, it can be a very simple or complex question but that’s why I love it. I hope to expand this project further and compile the different answers I get throughout the years.
