Talk:Tim Arnold (musician)

Tone

This needs some rewriting. Text such as "Tim Arnold's childhood was a rollercoaster ride (mostly in a VW Camper Van!)", "the smell of the grease paint was so strong", "Arnold’s writing was unique in the unprecedented way he infused his poetry in the band's music, also bridging the gap between his classical arrangements and rock sensibilities", "quite simply the best and only concept album about London’s Golden Mile by a writer who, along his way, has both dined and begged at The Ritz", "This album also features an in depth and achingly honest interview by BBC London's very own lord of pop, Gary Crowley", and "One listen and it’s hard not to agree." simply don't belong in an encyclopedia.--Michig (talk) 07:06, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

I've removed the worst parts of the article, but it could do with another pair of eyes to clean it up further.--Michig (talk) 07:40, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Influences

Ever since 1996, in interviews, Arnold has always confessed his passion for the music of Mike Oldfield. Apparently it was after reading the back cover of Tubular Bells when he was 12 and seeing all the instruments that Oldfield played, that Arnold decided that making music was going to be his profession (Arnold actually worked with Tubluar Bells producer Tom Newman in 1998).

Whilst living in Spain as a child, Arnold relied on his elder brother to keep him up to date with current music. Arnold became well acquainted with the music of ECM Records, namely Stephan Micus, Zakir Hussain, Jan Garbarek and Keith Jarrett. Whilst these artists influenced Arnold as a musician, his love of Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel, Sting and Queen is what made him start writing pop songs.

Whilst in Spain he also became a fan of Mecano, even going so far as to cover "Hijo de la Luna" on a Spanish language album that was released in 2007.

By his own admission, Arnold's melodies are largely influenced by the classical music he grew up listening to such as Ravel, Mozart and Debussy.

Other influences on Arnold's work as a musician, writer and composer include Antonin Artaud, Ray Davies Jimmy Page, Barbra Streisand, Peter Gabriel, Leonard Cohen, Johnny Cash, Ultravox, Mingus, Nick Drake, Sylvia Plath, William Burroughs, Frank Sinatra, Pixies, My Bloody Valentine, Roger Waters, Arthur Rimbaud, Billie Holiday, John Lydon, Steve Reich, Freidrich Hundertwasser, Lerner & Loewe, Fluxus, Stevie Wonder, Elias Canetti, William Blake, Janes Addiction, Burt Bacharach, Gustav Klimt, Luang Por Charoen Parnchand, Lenny Bruce, The La's, Rudolf Steiner, Oscar Hammerstein, John Hurt, Peter O'Toole, Phil Spector, John Dee, Pythagoras & 'Sir' Francis Bacon
