Colin MacIntyre - The WaterColin MacIntyre Chats To ilikemusic
ILM: Can you describe the Colin MacIntyre process of writing and recording music?
Colin: Mmm, won't be easy as I don't really understand it myself. There is no one way of my creating. Each song is different. The writing part happens, I think, by
just being open, being prepared to jump off a (creative) cliff. Some songs come to you immediately from an emotion you're feeling, others can be from overhearing a plumber fixing a toilet - just something he says grabs you - others are a spark (note the tradesman theme). Actually being a songwriter to me is like being a song tradesman.
ILM: What would be your ideal night out?
As long as it involves red wine, that's a good start. Maybe being back home on Mull, walking along the beach on a Friday night in the summer, then being picked up and flown across the Atlantic to 1965, New York to a Bob Dylan gig, then back to 2008 and a curry, and then.....I'm stuck. I'd need a time machine.
