Robert Wyatt: Comic Opera 2007

"It's really about the unpredictable mischief of real life - it's sort of chaotic as our life.
It's about humans and the things we turn to, and looking for fun and stimulus and meaning and stuff."
Robert Wyatt

Robert Wyatt’s “Comic Opera”
Sunday, November 04, 2007
Robert Wyatt has been exploring the unusual possibilities of song since the 1960s in the bands
Soft Machine, Matching Mole, and others, plus his own solo albums. He sings in his distinctive,
agile voice about the complex and obscure, as well as the simple and obvious. Via connection
from London, this British musician talks thoughtfully and revealingly with host David Garland about
“Comic Opera,” his new three-act album full of bright instrumental colors, dark observations about
life and politics, and warm compassion for human dreams and foibles.
