Clubit interview with Ben Morfitt.
Question: – What was your inspiration for the One Man Orchestra video?
Answer: I’ve had the idea a lot longer than i can remember but I had to get good enough at all of the instruments before I could even think about pulling it off!
Question: – How many different instruments were used?
Answer: I think in this video, I used about 15 various musical instruments
Question: – Can you tell us more about Pegul?
Answer: Pegul is basically a cartoony franchise similar to Mario or Sonic. What for, we have no idea? We just started creating it when we were about 10 years old. It could work as a video game or a film, we have unlimited ideas for it. Maybe one day we might be able to do something with it but it’s been put on hold for now.
Question: – Was the cat planned to be in the One Man Orchestra video or did it just gatecrash the party?
Answer: Yeah whilst filming the video, Ed (my cat) kept walking into shot, but in that shot i decided to pick him up!
Question: – What is your dream job?
Answer: My dream job is probably to be a composer for a film or game but I like to keep things interesting so i’m always open to other career paths too!
Question – Which is your favourite instrument?
Answer: Drums or Sax
Question – Which is your favourite video game soundtrack?
Answer: Gears of War is up there, but I also like less serious stuff like Sonic Adventure 2 battle!
Question – Would you like to create music for video games?
Answer: Yes!!!!
Question – Finally can you give us an insight into any of your next projects?
Answer: I’ve got a couple of things coming up! One is similar to my one man orchestra but on a smaller scale and there will be dancing so it should be entertaining! There is also something exciting in the pipeline with Square Enix.
