Emil Friis

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My dad worked in a record store when I was a kid and I remember he would bring home LPs of all kinds; Elvis, Beethoven, Bob Dylan, Brian Eno and so on. My dad's enthusiasm for the music and listening to it with him left a lasting impression on me. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “For Goodbyes” Up until now this is the piece I'm most proud of. The string were written and recorded first and I wrote and added the flute part later and also the synth parts which I improvised. It's a good example of how I often work. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? The one that really blew my mind was watching Stanley Kubrick direct Tom Cruise on the set of Eyes Wide Shot when I was a young man. As such it is not a musical career highlight, but it sort of marks a full circle career wise; film - music - film. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? As an artist you have to keep moving and expand on your palette, hense your bucket list is not a static list of goals but rather something fluid.
