Interestin interview with Mr an' Mrs Vander:



Christian Vander interview
by Jason Gross

Not particularly relishing it, I unwittingly became a club employee and a band manager at the same time when I arrived to interview the masters of Zeuhl music for their first New York show (July 1999) in over a quarter of a century.  I had long been enamored by drummer/mastermind Christian Vander, who was/is so committed to his own mythologies which he created in the late sixties/early seventies.  Even though the group originated out of France and created a new language (Kobaian) to tell their tales, they might as well have been some interstellar visitors as such.

Arriving early to the club, to meet Christian, his wife Stella (also a singer in the group) thought I was part of the club management and asked me about payment for the show.  I dutifully passed the message along to the owners, who then wanted to know if I was their manager.  Slipping out of this slippery slope, I was then commandeered by Stella to get mineral water for the band.  Being so accommodating (not to mention a fan), I dutifully went out to a deli and lugged back a dozen bottles to the club.  At the end of the rehearsal, Stella (who I had been in touch with only by phone previously) called out from the stage for me, saying that we should do our interview now.  I came to say hello and it dawned on her that I was the writer she spoke to before and not a club employee.  We both had a good laugh over that one (mostly her actually).

If that wasn't confusing enough, the problem then came with doing the interview herself.  While Stella was gloriously bi-lingual, Christian only knew French and I only knew the Queen's English (or gibberish, to be more exact).  She agreed to translate my questions but since time was tight, she said that I'd have to find someone else to translate Christian's answers.  Not a problem, I thought.  I ended our chat by blurting out the few words of French I remembered from high school: 'au revoir,' 'merci beaucoup' (I also remembered how to ask where the bathroom is but I didn't think that was appropriate).

Sadly, several people who seemed willing to help with this didn't come through and I was left with an interview tape gathering dust, wondering what to do.  I suppose that it's appropriate that the reason an interview I had done over a year ago languished for that long because of a language problem- after all, this is a group that invented their own language.

When all hope seemed to be lost, a plea was made in the Progressive Rock newsgroup.  Amazingly, we got back numerous responses to help.  The kind and wonderful person who did the honors in the end was Steven Hegede, who we owe a great deal of debt, needless to say.  Thanks also to Olivier Jouan, who helped to formulate some of the questions below.  Also 'merci beaucoup' to Shawn Ahearn and Pascal Zelcer for helping to arrange the interview itself.

And so, without further adieu...



 

PSF: Can you talk about you musical background before Magma?

Well, honestly I didn't really know what was happening in France musically at that time. I had some idea of what was going on. But I was mostly attracted to other types of music. Especially the music of John Coltrane, which occupied me, and served as my "daily bread." It's a long story, but the music of Magma started one day because, in my opinion, it had to come out. I would call it a revelation. The music came out of me naturally, without the need to compose it. The music had a need to come out, whether it was through me or someone else.
 

PSF: The story behind Kobaia, was it influenced alot by science-fiction?

No, not at all. It was more of a transposition. We were looking for something new. We baptised that other world "Kobaia". But, looking back at this today, Kobaia refers to Earth.
 

PSF: What was the intention for inventing a new language?

The language itself came parallel with composing. Meaning that when I was composing on piano, certain sounds would appear. And, at the same time, we had words in use that we baptised as Kobaian. The first word that I ever pronounced was "Kobaia." The other words came as a result of the music, it was a natural process.
 

PSF: There was some talk that the whole concept was supposed to be a nine-album set?

No, I think that there is some confusion with Zess. I mentioned one day that Zess would probably fill 5 records. At the time, 5 records was equal to about 3 hours of music. So I imagined Zess to be 3 hours long. So I probably mentioned "5 albums" one day. But it wasn't about Theusz Hamtaahk but rather Zess. 45-minutes is already an LP. But it's possible that I also said 5 hours, instead of 5 hours.

PSF: For Zess?

Yes, Zess I was refering to Zess. But we never talked about 9 albums. Maybe 5 albums? I probably said 5.
 

PSF: By the time of Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh, things seems to be changing for the group. How did the changes in personnel change the music?

Well, we were allowed to go further musically. Jannick's (Top, bassist) sound, and spirit, allowed us to advance further and faster. Now, I'm not saying that the previous musicians were not excellent musicians. But Jannick brought along with him a sound which was musical on the one hand, but on top of that he superimposed melodies (translator note: Christian is refering to countermelodies). Jannick brough a new level to the band. And he was the bassist that we had hoped for at the time.
 

PSF: Was the story of Kobaia changed by the time of Kohntarkosz?

As I mentioned earlier, we had transposed the story a bit. Progressively, we were finding ourselves within the story. Anyway, we were finding that we were actually talking about the story of planet Earth. Whether the story happened here or somewhere else, it really didn't matter. We were finding sources to try to explain that which supports us. The importance was that Kontark had to be told in a profound manner. It's a story that many people look for when trying to find their meaning in life. To know our place within the world, and in a manner that is positive. It's in reference to Earth and life.
 

PSF: The version of Kohntarkosz that appears on the BBC release is very different. Especially the first half. I was wondering if it envolved into the final version. Or did you rework it quickly?

No, Kohntarkosz at that time was a work in progress. It wasn't finished. At the time, I was trying to finish the theme while, at the same time, we were playing a version it. The colors were somewhat there, but it wasn't finished. As soon as I finished writing the structure, we recorded it. It was ready, but not totally finished. The finale wasn't yet composed when we recorded Kohntarkosz. But it was finished at the time of "Kohntark".
 

PSF: Why were there many band members joining and leaving Magma?

Bands change personnel due to natural occurrences. Many musicians become exhausted by fatigue. We would do 25 concerts a month with little free time in between. Musicians would drop out due to exhaustion even when they weren't interested in changing bands. But we were fortunate to find a few musicians who had the will to continue.
 

PSF: Why did Magma stop in the '80's?

First of all, he were offered very little work. But at the same time, it allowed us to work on other projects. For example, during that period we started a new group called Offering. Which permitted us to create a lot of new ideas that later went back in Magma. It's two different ways of reaching the same goal. The goal of taking music further and discovering new sounds.
 

PSF: What inspired you to start Magma again?

We could have done it before because we were always ready. It was after a suggestion from a friend, Bernard Ivan, who proposed a tour. Thanks to him we rebuilt the band again. It had been proposed several times in the past, but nothing was solid. This time it was thanks to Bernard Ivan. But we were always ready.
 

PSF: It is important to reprise your older material or to play new compositions now?

It is important that we replay the older compositions for a newer generation of Magma fans. But we are going to quickly move to newer music. Hopefully.
 

PSF: What do you think of the bands that play Zeuhl music?

I don't know all of them. There are certainly a lot of good ideas (out there), but there are also a lot of bad ones. The idea isn't to copy our sound, but rather to feel something deeper within. But, as the founders of Zeuhl, we also have the responsibility to make the idea clearer and expressive. Once that idea is clearer and more expressive, people will be able to create something real out of it without misinterpreting the message.
 

PSF: How do you see the future of Magma?

I live day to day. I can't talk about things that haven't happened yet. I work so that Magma can continue. In my opinion, music and spirit co-exists together. The idea is to continue and progress.
 

PSF: Over the years, have you seen another band that you consider contemporaries, brothers and/or sisters?, fellow travelers?

No, I can't say that. Maybe I haven't heard anything new from Univers Zero, but their music sounds diluted on a spiritual level.

Stella Vander: No, not just about Univers Zero. Any band, really.

Christian: A brother-like band... nothing at this moment.
 

PSF: How about Xaal?

There were some correspondence between both bands, but very little outside of them.
 

PSF: I know that you're a big John Coltrane fan. Which of his records would he recommend Magma fans?

Well, there are different fans of Magma. If you're looking for a certain sort of obsessional "dance"... "My Favorite Things." It wasn't written by Coltrane, but he made it immortal. If not, Expression.

     (from Q magazine...)

"Interesting ?"
Steve Davis flies the flag for... Magma.

The posters announced : "Steve Davis and Interesting Promotions Present Magma". Music lovers the worldwide chorused : "The Steve Davis ? The consummately professional number one ranking snooker player ? The oft-called Ginger Magician who looks like the man you might complain to in Sainsburys and loses frames as often as panda bears achieve sexual congress ?"
Swiftly followed by : "The Magma ? The uncategorisable 12-piece ensemble of French and early '70s disposition ? The brainchild of the highly peculiar Christian Vander whose name is frequently accompanied by the word 'otherness' ? The band who write concept tracks and sing in Kobaian - a language of their own device ?"
"Yep, Magma", says Davis, 30. "I can't even begin to articulate why I like them. They've had a big effect on... my life."
Most people had you down as a Shakatak boy.

"Pur-lease !" he grimaces. "No. When I was in sixth form all the kids were into Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath and Deep Purple which was pleasant enough but I felt I wanted something more complicated. I was into Gentle Giant - yeah, the Giant, Caravan, Soft Machine, Isotope, Hatfield And The North all that Canterbury jazz rock scene."
Gong ?
Yeah, a bit of Gong. I bought Camembert Electrique when it was 59p. I saw that recently in a record collectors' shop for £5. What a rip-off !
The Cow?
"T'Pau ?! "
No, The Cow - Henry Cow.
"Yeah, I heard a couple of his records. Didn't he do the one with the pair of socks on the cover ?"

Your musical tastes appear to stop around 1975. Do you listen to anything contemporary ?
"Some of that punk stuff was pretty rancid. I didn't get on with much of that. But I listen to a bit of pop. I listen to Radio One before matches. That way I've got nothing in my head when I go out to play."

Was it a spiritual experience seeing Magma for the first time ?
"It was at The Roundhouse in 1974. They were the support band. I was there in my afghan which used to stink when it rained. But they were just ... the best thing I'd ever seen. And I've collected everything they've ever done since and been to see them as much as I could. But I've been busy recently and I couldn't see them in Europe which is why I decided to put them on in London."

It turned out to be an inspiring couple of weeks for Steve "Interesting" Davis. Three nights of Magma at the 560 seater Bloomsbury Theatre and one Mercantile Credit Classic victory worth £50,000. Of course, there was no question in his mind which event was the more satisfying.

Next month : Eric Bristow talks about his Incredible String Band fixation.

Fun guys. Could almost be written about The Sugarhill Gang:

Imagine a world, many centuries into the future, when society as we know it has decayed into chaos and degradation, void of spiritual guidance. The colonization of space is well underway, and space travel has become commonplace. It is in this setting that a handful of enlightened Earth people seeking a better existence finance the construction of a private spacecraft and leave the planet in search of a new world where a new, more spiritually guided civilization can be reborn. They finally find that new home after a long and hazardous journey on the distant planet Kobaia, where the party settles and begins anew

he may be very sexy or even cute
but he looks like a sucker in a blue and red suit
i said you need a man who's got finesse
and his whole name across his chest
he may be able to fly all through the night
but can he rock a party til the early light?
he cant satisfy you with his little worm
but i can bust you out with my super sperm
i go do it, i go do it, i go do it, do it , do it

i give the rest to master gee so he could shock the house

It was twelve o'clock one friday night
i was rockin to the beat and feelin all right
everybody was dancin on the floor
doin all the things they never did before
and then this fly fly girl with a sexy lean
she came into the bar, she came into the scene
as she traveled deeper inside the room
all the fellas checked out her white sasoons
she came up to the table, looked into my eyes
then she turned around and shook her behind
so i said to myself, its time for me to release
my vicious rhyme i call my masterpiece
and now people in the house this is just for you
a little rap to make you boogaloo
now the group ya hear is called phase two
and let me tell ya somethin we're a helluva crew
once a week we're on the street
just a-cuttin' the jams and making it free
for you to party ya got to have the movies
so we'll get right down and give you the groove
for you to dance you gotta get hype
so we'll get right down for you tonight
now the system's on and the girls are there
ya definitely have a rockin affair
but let me tell ya somethin there's still one fact
that to have a party ya got to have a rap
so when the party's over you're makin it home
and tryin to sleep before the break of dawn
and while ya sleepin ya start to dream
and thinkin how ya danced on the disco scene
my name appears in your mind
yeah, a name you know that was right on time
it was phase two just a doin a do
rockin ya down cause ya know we could
to the rhythm of the beat that makes ya freak
come alive girls get on your feet
to the rhythm of the beat to the beat the beat
to the double beat beat that it makes ya freak
to the rhythm of the beat that says ya go on
on n on into the break of dawn
now i got a man comin on right now
he's guaranteed to throw down
he goes by the name of wonder Mike
come on wonder Mike do what ya like

like a can of beer that's sweeter than honey
like a millionaire that has no money
like a rainy day that is not wet
like a gamblin fiend that does not bet
like dracula with out his fangs
like the boogie to the boogie without the boogie bang
like collard greens that dont taste good
like a tree that's not made out of wood
like goin up and not comin down
is just like the beat without the sound no sound
to the beat beat, ya do the freak
everybody just rock and dance to the beat
have you ever went over a friends house to eat
and the food just aint no good
i mean the macaroni's soggy the peas are mushed
and the chicken tastes like wood
so you try to play it off like you think you can
by sayin that youre full
and then your friend says momma he's just being polite
he aint finished uh uh that's bull
so your heart starts pumpin and you think of a lie
and you say that you already ate
and your friend says man there's plenty of food
so you pile some more on your plate
while the stinky foods steamin your mind starts to dreamin
of the moment that it's time to leave
and then you look at your plate
and your chickens slowly rottin
into something that looks like cheese
oh so you say that's it i got to leave this place
i dont care what these people think
im just sittin here makin myself nauseous
with this ugly food that stinks
so you bust out the door while its still closed
still sick from the food you ate
and then you run to the store for quick relief
from a bottle of kaopectate
and then you call your friend two weeks later
to see how he has been
and he says i understand about the food
baby bubbah but we're still friends
with a hip hop the hippie to the hippie
the hip hip a hop a you dont stop the rockin
to the bang bang boogie
say up jump the boogie
to the rhythm of the boogie the beat
i say hank can ya rock
can ya rock to the rhythm that just dont stop
can ya hip me to the shoobie doo
i said come on make the make the people move

I go to the halls and then ring the bell
because i am the man with the clientele
and if ya ask me why i rock so well
a big bang, i got clientele
and from the time i was only six years old
i never forgot what i was told
it was the best advice that i ever had
it came from my wise dear old dad
he said sit down punk i wanna talk to you
and dont say a word until i'm through
now there's a time to laugh a time to cry
a time to live and a time to die
a time to break and a time to chill
to act civilized or act real ill
but whatever ya do in your lifetime
ya never let a mc steal your rhyme
so from sixty six til this very day
ill always remember what he had to say
so when the sucker mcs try to chump my style
i let them know that i'm versatile
i got style finesse and a little black book
that's filled with rhymes and i know you wanna look
but there's a thing that separates you from me
and that's called originality
because my rhymes are on from what you heard
i didnt even bite and not a god d--m word
and i say a little more later on tonight
so the sucker mc's can bite all night
a tick a tock yall a beat beat yall
a lets rock yall ya dont stop
ya go hotel motel whatcha gonna do today (say what)
ya say im gonna get a fly girl gonna get some spankin
drive off in a def oj
everybody go hotel motel holiday inn
ya say if your girl starts actin up
then you take her friends
a like that yall to the beat yall
beat beat yall ya dont stop
a master gee am I mellow?
its on you so whatcha gonna do

Well like johnny carson on the late show
a like frankie croker in stereo
well like the barkay's singin holy ghost
the sounds to throw down they're played the most
its like my man captain sky
whose name he earned with his super sperm
we rock and we dont stop
get off yall im here to give you whatcha got
to the beat that it makes you freak
and come alive girl get on your feet
a like a perry mason without a case
like farrah fawcett without her face
like the barkays on the mike
like gettin right down for you tonight
like movin your body so ya dont know how
right to the rhythm and throw down
like comin alive to the master gee
the brother who rocks so viciously
i said the age of one my life begun
at the age of two i was doin the do
at the age of three it was you and me
rockin to the sounds of the master gee
at the age of four i was on the floor
givin all the freaks what they bargained for
at the age of five i didnt take no jive
with the master gee its all the way live
at the age of six i was a pickin up sticks
rappin to the beat my stick was fixed
at the age of seven i was rockin in heaven
dontcha know i went off
i got right on down to the beat you see
gettin right on down makin all the girls
just take of their clothes to the beat the beat
to the double beat beat that makes you freak
at the age of eight i was really great
cause every night you see i had a date
at the age of nine i was right on time
cause every night i had a party rhyme
goin on n n on n on on n on
the beat dont stop until the break of dawn
a sayin on n n on n on on n on...
like a hot buttered de pop de pop de pop
a saying on n n on n on on n on
cause i'm a helluva man when i'm on the mike
i am the definate feast delight
cause i'm a helluva man when i'm on the mike
i am the definate feast delight
come to the master gee you see
the brother who rocks so viciously

I'm not farmiliar with this album, but for the searching I did there didn't seem to be too much information of this release. It does seem though, some of the member went on to Magma, maybe we could even called this one a proto-zeuhl release
 
Formation of Magma 1969
 
From ZORGONES------------> Francis Moze (keys) --------> Natl.Service
From ZORGONES------------> Lucien Zabuski (voc)
From ZORGONES------------> Laurent Thibault (bs)
