I edited my profile with Thomas.. Myspace Editor V3.6 !
I'm the director of the documentary feature film about the great Scott Walker; one of the most influential and enigmatic figures in rock history.
The film World Premiered at the 50th London Film Festival in 2006, debuted Internationally at the Berlin Film Festival in the Panorama in '07 and has been playing around the world since then and will soon be making it's way to a screen near YOU.It's a history of his music and career, from his early days as a jobbing bass player on the Sunset Strip, to mega-stardom in Britain's swinging 60's pop scene as a member of The Walker Brothers, to his evolution into one of the most astonishing soundmakers of the last few dacades.
He's 63 years old and has just released his first album in over 10 years, "The Drift" on 4 A.D. Records (out May 23 in the USA). The 4 and 5 star reviews are rolling on in!
