MUSIC .................................... José González and The String Theory orchestra José González, the Swedish-Argentinian guitarist and singer who most people discovered through his 2006 cover of Heartbeats, comes to Brighton this month backed by The String Theory orchestra for a radical overhaul of his usually minimalist music. What is The String Theory? It’s a 22-piece orchestra that started off in Berlin as a collaboration between a collective of musicians and arrangers. When one of them moved to Sweden they decided to do the same sort of experimental collaborations, but in Gothenburg. And I was one of the invited artists. We did one song and I liked it a lot, so I asked them to do more and we ended up touring Europe and the States. Now we’re back on tour again, this time hopefully with a live album coming out. What kind of stuff will you be playing? The songs are all mine and most of them are pretty old, but the arrangements are quite creative and varied. They range from very classical and harmonic, to a bit more soundscape-orientated. We have string, brass and woodwind sections, and we decided to add some electric guitar with effects, to get a more Spiritualized type of feeling. It’s still my voice, and I’m not singing in different ways, but a couple of the arrangements are a bit more out there. Were you surprised by any of the arrangements they came up with? Most of them, actually. It’s worth mentioning Every Age, which is very simple on the recording with my guitar. It’s one of the most simple songs, but in the orchestral version there’s a pretty long intro that’s very melancholic. It reminds me of the composer Arvo Pärt in its simplicity with all the strings, and then it ends with a very bombastic and larger-than-life type of feeling. Do you still enjoy touring? It’s great, but I definitely overdid it in the past. There’s a sense of not knowing if this will last forever, so it’s like riding the wave while it’s still there. I can sort of understand why I did what I did, but looking back I think I toured way more than I needed to. It’s all good in a way, I can sit back and know that lots of people heard me, maybe ten years ago, and maybe they want a nostalgic moment. I think I reached a lot of people with touring. How have the new arrangements gone down with your fans? Judging from the audiences when we tour with the orchestra, the reactions are pretty positive. There’s something about hearing these songs in fleshed out versions with so many acoustic instruments. It adds another layer to the whole thing and hopefully this will make the songs last longer, in a way. I wouldn’t mind growing old by doing these sorts of concerts.
