article is mostly about Smith, but cool to see Kevin Shields out there…
Quote:Kevin Shields to team up with Patti Smith
The unusual pair confirm joint gig
My Bloody Valentine’s Kevin Shields is to make an live appearance with Patti Smith.Shields is set to collaborate with Smith on a live recording of Smith’s ‘The Coral Sea’ on September 12 at the South Bank Centre in London.
The gig will be divided up into two parts. The first half will be a combination of new songs, spoken word pieces and overdubs from Smith plus other musicians. She will preview songs from her forthcoming album of covers, plus a new political piece dedicated to children of the Lebanon.
Shields will act as musical director, in the second half, for a performance of ‘The Coral Sea’, Smith’s tribute to photographer Robert Mapplethorpe.
kevin shields – musical director.. what is that role in practise?
to me the word musical director means someone who approaches music the theoretical way.
listening to kevin shields music; I find it hard to believe he knows how to conduct a symphony. I suppose musical director has nothing to do with theory. just me mixing up terms.
