J'en ai fait une traduction en anglais, si ça vous intéresse ;-)
THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT
This planet is amazing. It is so full of exciting things. But I think we,
people, can be a little boring sometimes. We tend very easily to go in autopilot as soon we get answers. I'm much more concerned by questions. As long as you live questioning yourself , you will never get bored.
Morten is concerned with what he calls « floating time » a time not previously allocated to anything, not predetermined of what it should contain. Floating time can be spent alone or with others, the important thing is there is a room where you can have a foot into the unknown, because we need the whole time.
It reminds you what other people with a perhaps slightly hackneyed phrase, describes as quality time, but it doesn’t all correct.
- We have quality time now, or we not have it. It depends. There will be an assessment of how you think the time was, he said.
- But floating time is floating time.
My Hurum
I can only speak for myself, but it felt like we had: floating time..
Morten Harket came back from two weeks family holiday in the Maldives, and maybe that’s why he proposed to meet at Villa Malla, banquet-hall at Filtvet with palmtrees, and Arabic inspiration, are the closest thing to Maldives in the Hurum location. Or maybe it was because Hurum, the peninsula between the Oslo Fjord and the Drammen Fjord, is also Morten Harket area. He live here for almost ten years, Sætre clos to Drøbaksundet, in the old Manager’s residence of explosives (TNT) manufacture Dyno.
He found the place quite by chance, as he says, "it landed in front of me, in a way," but it is a place that seems being good for him. At Holmen residence, The Director (manager) residence, you have many different biotopes, freshwater, brackish water and seawater interchangeably, a "rocks concretion » , pine forests, rich animal and insect life, "bumblebees and bees and lots of great things. » And not to mention a rich flora of butterflies, that remains the best he knows in nature, from his first encounter with a night-and-day-violet, that was such a deep sensation that moved every fiber of his body. But butterflies have been his most persistent passion since his childhood, before he was frozen them and put them on the needles, today he runs just for them. Or rather, with them.
There is no better exercise to get in shape, he said.
It requires all of your abilities, speed and powers of observation. Keeping a butterfly in her eyes is very difficult. You learn to follow the shadow of the butterfly more than the butterfly itself. You must know where the sun is and how to run in the terrain. Even if it’s a rough terrain, you can not see where you run, it is only sensation. You must be able to change direction very quickly. You can’t bring an elk hunter to a butterfly hunting. To do it together with someone is a stunning experience. Being out in the field and discover things together, the elation which is just below your skin.
In thick and thin
There is an a-ha song that describes butterflies in even more detail.
From the very cosmic beginning, the chrysalis stage, the larval form of the wings stretched for the first time, and detachment process is complete.
You don't have to turn something in, stay with it through thick and thin, as they say in chorus, "Butterfly begin."
The song "Butterfly, Butterfly (The Last Hurrah)" is the latest a-ha song ever recorded. So it is tempting to interpret the text as the life in the most successful band of all time could be a bit like in a cocoon. At the beginning there was apparently plenty of space in the cocoon, both to new platinum awards (combined they sold over 40 million albums), more and more new Grammy Awards (nine in total) and more new Brazilians (their concert at Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro in 1991 still holds the Guinness record for the highest number of paying spectators, around 194’000).
Finally the cocoon also filled up with ever more half-known German music producers, healer increasing the bill band’s budget, and more and more reunion tours. Until Morten, Magne and Paul one night in November 2010, before the Oslo Spektrum, went together on stage for the last time. They were out of the cocoon, ready to spread their wings, dressed in their own colorful Moods of Norway suit, one in red and one in white and the third in blue. At one point Paul Savoy took the microphone, so he never really does, and assured the public that they all three came to making music in the coming years, but just not together.
But it is, perhaps surprisingly, Morten Harket who has done first. While Magne Furuholmen has been a judge in the talent show "The Voice" and Paul Savoy has released one song to the movie "Headhunters", Morten Harket come with two solo albums, the first "Out of My Hands" in 2012 and, today, "Brother."
- I have somehow not stopped at all, and that’s because it has been waiting for something in me, said Morten Harket.
- I was constantly asked, in 2010, "what will you do afterwards?" But I didn’t really not it. I knew very quickly that I will not spend a thought on. I will be here now, to make sure I'm here, this is the reality I will find myself in now, I would not be half way somewhere else. But I knew the moment I stepped off the stage of Spectrum, that I was going to do something on my own. But whatever it was, I did not and I would not know that, either.
Morgann Gyger The cathedral and the street.
Exactly what "Out of My Hands" really was, the critics were quite clear on: « A bit catchy but empty of imagination " wrote Dagbladet, « feet of clay’ s tubes » wrote VG, « Consistently mediocre ... it might be expected much more from an album whom title is a disclaimer?" Asked Morgenbladet.
Harket himself seems not to have a too high opinion of the album, he sees it as a transitional product, he says, a way to get out of a-ha The new album, however, is more obvious personal. The single, named the same as the album, which he sees as "an anthem, a mixture of the Cathedral and the street," begins even with his own words. (In a-ha discography he is the less credited with text contributions and on his previous solo albums, he has brought in poets like copywriters). "'Brother' thrives in its own solemn banquet," wrote VG. "It obviously so Harket too."
- I don’t think I am going to quit music, Morten Harket says.
- It is very natural for me, and a business that you have practiced and wait for you. I know it well, and find it stimulating and challenging. It's really a great business, really. But I also know, and I have done a long time that I miss not to use myself on other things. There are other things I know I could have done very well.
He takes a short break.
- For example, I well understand those who love fashion, with fervor, love to go into the field. I get it. Facade only for the sake of the facade, it has not caught me. As a musician, as an artist, I'm not concerned about it. But I can well next year begin working with fashion, it could be interesting.
- Is it real? Next year you ...
- No, I take that as an example. I could start working for Volkswagen as well. On looking at: Okay, where is the development waiting to happen here? Is it performance or is it the balancing of the car? To identify the sale, it's very interesting. Looking out the way you behave? Do the toothbrush out that way that it behaves?
He contemplates for a few seconds, before adding:
- But I'm no more interested in cars than toothbrushes. I can go from one to another.
What is what?
The Morten Harket’s siblings, respectively doctor, artist, furniture maker and publisher, and it is known that he always thought that he could have gone in many directions, both within and outside of pop music - in Jan Omdahl a-ha biography " Swing of things "(2010) he mentions among other things that he could have been plan-constructor, boat designer and ballet dancer, not to mention that « I could have danced my ass off Michael Jackson. " "I'm sure I'm funky," he explains in the book.
To a certain extent this stems in his theory, conveyed in many forms over the years, that "the same mechanism may underlie very different expression. Do you know of a mechanism, you will know quite a lot about a subject, preferably, that you really don’t know anything about, because you know the mechanism that controls it. " And to some extent is the fact: He has demonstrably been through many disciplines. As a 13yo hobby zoologist, he studied the skeletons of dinosaurs, and was struck by their common traits anatomy had with birds. This he found no coverage in contemporary textbooks, but "I thought this was going to come. And it did, of course. " The relationship is considered to be anything close to a truth in paleontology, right enough, but he is credited with any research contributions.
However, his commitment to East Timor a documented reason why Carlos Belo and José Ramos-Horta in 1996 was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
He has been an actor, thanks again reject the title role in "Spider-Man" film adaptation, but figured later in the Sørlands gothic feature films "Kamilla and the Thief" and "Yohan - The Child Wanderer", the latter of which gypsy troubadour with the immortal remark, "What is what? "He belonged to the avant-garde in Norwegian baking bread, he was one of spelled, or « (ur)flour », (I don’t know what it means???)as he calls it. And he imported in 1989, with Bellona, Norway.
First solar car
- But I did not want to fly around and be cyclists Apostle. The media at the time was almost about to put on my robe, he says, and mentions that he later broke with its green profile by buying a gas-guzzling Mercedes 500 SL, a fall from grace that once invoked anger and amazement up to then Prime Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland.
- The idea I came up with was that I was particularly interested to set a good example, he continued.
- I wanted to do it, I do. I felt that there was a better way to get in dialogue. It's the system, our fellowship, which must arrive at what we do, as a species, such as race, how to act. I will not make me violent.
Immature wife... (not sure of the translation... immature against women maybe?)
But Morten Harket can’t be quite, either. As the interview draws to a close, comes a woman, representative from his record company with a fruit basket with apples and bananas.
- Oh, you are the world, he says before he thinks for a while.
He runs for an apple.
- There is only starch in that stuff, you know, and they are green as well.
He points the banana bunch and smiles at her.
- Currently, you can only use them as dildo.
