| | |  Tom Felton talks musical inspirations, instruments, the Beatles & more
The second part of the Feltbeats interview with Tom Felton, to promote his upcoming EP, In Good Hands, is online now (the first two parts can be read here and here). In it, Tom talks about his method of producing and recording music, the Beatles, how long he has been a singer and songwriter and much more. Quote: FB: I thought this was a good question from ktqck: What was the first time you picked up the guitar and really felt like a musician? What song was it and what inspired it?
TF: Yeah, yeah. Well, you get little bits. You don’t get like one big epiphany. Like, BANG. The track, “Under Stars” was the first ever riff that I’ve ever made up by myself, if that makes sense. It was the first riff that I didn’t look up first online. I was just purely messing around. And, admittedly, it didn’t start off quite like that, it developed over a while.
And there is a funny story behind that: When I was out in Boulder, Colorado - me and a friend of mine - there’s a charity that I help with, “There With Care.” I’ve mentioned it to you before. We wrote a song for them up there, using that riff, me and Jamie Waylett [the actor who plays Vincent Crabbe in Harry Potter] for the charity. But I came up a year later and they still hadn’t used it, so I decided to put the original lyrics to it and record it myself.
Quote: FB: LilyGinny27 asks: “Do you have a recording studio in your home?”
TF: I’d like to say yes. I’d like to say yes. And I suppose the answer is yes, in the respect that I record all my music at home. However, it’s not quite a recording studio. Basically, in my house… The people who I bought the house from, they had a young girl, and she had the largest bedroom in the house. And it’s pink.
So I have a completely pink, empty room, in which I have ten guitars, a laptop, all my wires, microphones, a drum kit, bass guitars, a keyboard, and a load of other stuff, like old laptops and stuff like that. So, in essence, it is a studio. But does it look like one? No. It looks like an empty bedroom full of used equipment.
FB: …that’s pink!
TF: That’s pink! Yeah, yeah. Truth be told, we always had the plan to get rid of it. But for some reason, for some reason, I find the pink inspirational. So I just left it.
Either that, or I just got lazy. I’m not sure; one of them.
FB: Maybe that’s the reason your songs are so emotional. If the walls had been black…
TF: I could be a completely different artist. I would be Gothic.
The full interview can be read here. The third part will be posted next Wednesday, April 1st.
Various songs released by Tom can be purchased here and here.  | |

Well, now we know why Tom's songs are romantic and light! I love them, though, he's a very talented artist and the style fits him perfectly somehow!

Well, another good interview. Boy, we're really getting more interviews of Tom lately. Why? Is it because he's more accessible at this time? Oh well. | |
