Monday evening (28th November) saw
Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason interviewed for two hours at London's
Central Saint Martin's College of Art.
 |
| Central Saint Martins College in London |
The discussion covered art and
design disciplines - looking at how photography, fashion, graphic and
stage design, film and animation have all played an important role in
the success of great British bands. From The Beatles to The Rolling
Stones... Pink Floyd to Radiohead and Blur.
The interview had Nick discussing
the impact Pink Floyd had on the design industry - specifically
clothing, record cover design, stage design and so forth. Professor Rob
Dickins discussed with Nick how the music of the band brought all of
these together.
There was also a brief
opportunity for the audience to pose questions, and William Hayter, who
kindly sent us this report, was there. William mentioned to Nick about
his friend, who designed one of the prototype Animals covers when he
was working for Hipgnosis. Jeff Cummins designed the image of the boy
standing at the bedroon door whilst holding his teddy bear and
watching, presumably, his mum and dad having it off.
William asked if he had any words
of consolation for Jeff for rejecting the design in favour of Battersea
Power Station, tongue in cheek of course. He said he was sorry, and
that the band felt it was inappropriate!
William also reported that when
asked about any chance of a reunion in the near future, apart from all
the usual rhetoric, Nick did state that the "gap" had been far too long
and that he was very keen to do it again, especially as technology had
moved on and the stage show could be even more impressive (if that is
possible). We can only hope that Nick can apply pressure to the other
guys to do a little more than a good cause get-together, and do
something that could send them out with a bang!
