Is this provocative to ask? Well, yes. No. Depends on. Of course everyone has his ups and downs. Yet there’s more to it. Because nobody has the skills to be creative in every field. Or is there a sculptor in your band who is perfect in weaving tapestries, writing scripts for plays at the Old Vic, and at the same time artfully handling his stock shares himself and piling up his riches at the Caimans?
So why do I ask?
I’m not talking about finding a strategy or business model here. It is the very basic that comes first: ideas. Sounds simple, but be prepared for hard efforts. You know for yourself that ideas just won’t pop up when handy.

Wolfram Huschke: Transcription of Interview, Pt. 1/5 (Music)
Wolfram Huschke: Transcription of Interview, Pt. 1/5 (Music) by Wolfgang Senges is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0 Germany License. Permissions beyond the scope of this license may be available by contacting http://contentsphere.de.
Our interview is arranged at 4pm. While staying at Trier (he’s going to have a second, more improvised concert the next day), Wolfram Huschke is spending his days... no, that’s not quite correct. His days are filled with practicing, rehearsals, interviews, and even preparing for more projects. So, I’m invited to General Music Director Victor Puhl’s house where Wolfram Huschke is guesting.
After a short chat with Victor Puhl, Wolfram disappears somewhere downstairs. Then he’s back, and I must say, I wasn’t surprised at all to see Wolfram Huschke grab his Cello while I set up my MacBook. As you will see, he does not let the instrument go for one second during the interview. It doesn’t fit in terms of seriousness but I can’t help thinking of a ventriloquist with his puppet. They both are one. It is one voice that talks to you.
Q1: Musical impact
ContentSphere: You’re playing cello for four decades now. That’s quite a lot. Then there’s the scope of music you play which is incredibly wide. So, where do you get your influence from? Apart from (Johann Sebastian) Bach and (Jimi) Hendrix who you are mentioning - are there any other contemporary musicians having impact on you?
Wolfram Huschke: I think it’s much similar to Twitter: Everything tweets on the timeline. What’s music to me? There’s music in silence, here’s music right in the instrument itself, and within the atmospheric’s pressure there are tiny tunes swinging all around. Each change of condition results in different melodies.
