I just finished transcribing an article for Les (soon
to appear on a jmdl site near you) called "No borders
here" by Mary Dickie. It's an interview with Joni
done shortly after the release of Turbulent Indigo.
In it Joni discusses her use of piano, keyboards,
synthesizers. Et voila:
"For the Roses also has a lot of piano on it. I wrote
that in a cabin in B.C. while I was building my house,
and I had a piano, and it just seemed my interests
went into that instrument at that time, and continued
into Court and Spark. And then with The Hissing of
Summer Lawns I met my first synthesizer, the Farfisa,
and it had some strange little preset sounds on it.
Prior to that, with these instruments you had to be
kind of a jet pilot; there were all these dials and
levers. So that kind of kicked me off in another
direction.
And even on guitar-oriented albums, the keyboards and
the background coloration Im playing, Im using it as
orchestration, so Im still a keyboard person. Ive
never lost that. Dog Eat Dog was a synthetic keyboard
album, but Im playing most of it. People think
somebody has smeared all of this over me, but it is
me, playing with a wider palette."
