Charlie Siem: The Music Man

I remember hearing the violin when I was three

and being captivated by the sound

and I just wanted to try and make that sound

when I try and play.

Get so used to reading scores

and interpreting them and as a classical musician,

when you ve got complete freedom to do whatever you want

it s a completely new experience.

That s what I find I get from these collaborations.

Last time I played Heaven with Brian

and the same when I play with The Who.

They re are so many people that I d love to work with.

I d love to play with Pink Floyd.

I ve always had the problem of

being able to play in a jacket that s really fitted

so I developed with this tailor in London

this system on cutting a slit in the back

so I ve got flexibility

and a sort of slit in the arm sleeve as well.

I really feel like I m at the beginning of my journey

and it s been so exciting.

It s just sort of taken it s path

and each corner s kind of unexpected I suppose

but it s been a lot of fun

and I don t know quite where I m gonna end up.
