Articles & Interviews - 2003

Excerpted from an interview with Travis Dickerson in Tastes Like Chicken, vol 6 - issue 04 (dec 2003). Travis Dickerson is the producer of Viggo Mortensen's album PandemoniumFromAmerica, on which Dominic performed.

 

M[onkeybe]: The new Viggo Mortensen disc-- PandemoniumFromAmerica-- is done and should be out soon. This album has a really cool gathering of musicians and celebrities, consisting of yourself, Viggo Mortensen, Henry Mortensen, Buckethead, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan, and Elijah Wood. Was this a fun project?

T[ravis Dickerson]: The CD was a blast. In fact, we haven't stopped working on it, despite the fact that we just released it. That is to say, we have another one in the works already.

M: Haven't you collaborated on projects with Viggo and Buckethead before?

T: Yes. Viggo and I have worked on six CDs now, four of them with Buckethead. We have a nice working rhythm together, and we have a lot of fun.

M: How were Dominic, Billy, and Elijah to work with?

T: The day the Hobbits came by to jam with us was just surreal. We were jamming away with the cast of Lord of the Rings, and Buckethead and I looked up at each other with like, "Whoa. Is this happening?" But it was such a Viggo thing; just throw in a wild card and see what happens,.. and what happened was really cool. The guys couldn't have been nicer. They are all really talented. Billy and Dom were both in bands in the past, and both are multi-instrumentalists. Bill is a great bass player, and Elijah played some nice keys. All of them sang well.
