Morte Scott Walker. Arrivano gli omaggi di Damon Albarn, Thom Yorke e del mondo della musica

La notizia della morte di Scott Walker ha scosso nuovamente il mondo della musica che ancora non si era del tutto ripreso da quella di Mark Hollis, avvenuta esattamente un mese fa. Vari esponenti del mondo musicale hanno manifestato il proprio ricordo del genio britannico – il cui ultimo lavoro rimarrà la colonna sonora Vox Lux, composta per l’omonimo film di Brady Corbet – con nomi che vanno da Thom Yorke a Nigel Godrich, da Damon Albarn a Marc Almond, dal disc-jockey Erol Alkan fino al nostro Morgan, che per l’occasione ha postato sul suo profilo Facebook un video in cui lui e Franco Battiato omaggiano Walker con l’esecuzione di The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine (Anymore) nel corso di un’esibizione all’Auditorium della Conciliazione di Roma nel 2006.

So very sad to hear that Scott Walker has passed away, he was a huge influence on Radiohead and myself, showing me how i could use my voice and words. Met him once at Meltdown, such a kind gentle outsider. He will be very missed. https://t.co/v33Ey91hbn

When I worked at RAK studios I was lucky enough to spend a few days in the studio with him during the recording of the Tilt album.. I so grateful for that.. what a legend.

Absolutely saddened shocked by the death of Scott Walker . He gave me so much inspiration so much I owe to him and modelled on him even down to my early S C hair cut and dark glasses . He cemented my love for Brel. He was enigmatic , mysterious and with some of his latter recordings , to me, infuriating. An absolute Musical genius , existential and intellectual and a Star right from the days of the Walker Brothers. So many of his songs will go round in my head forever. And that Voice. We lost Bowie now we’ve lost him. There is surely a crack in the Universe. Thank you Scott.

Had a dream about him last night that I can’t quite remember. Head is hung its lowest today with the news of his passing – – Solitary baritone, outside of everything, 20th/21st century icon + genius ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. “When I see the page and the lyrics, I see soldiers in a field. There's a lot of white space which represents me in a sense. It's an abstract way of putting it, but I see it that way visually.”
