This was the real Scott - at work. Forget the myths and so called legend. He was always happiest creating his art, he knew what he wanted and his team supported him. “The Drift” is a masterpiece. I’m very sad that there won’t be any more music from him, who else is there from his generation is there worth caring about? I can’t think of anyone.
@Ryan Muskopf He is/was a huge cult artist. It started to snow ball with Julian Cope’s compilation in the early 80’s and then really take off with the re-release of the four “Scott” albums in the early 90’s when people could actually buy the albums again. All the albums from “Tilt” onwards built up a new audience that enabled him to keep recording. I got into him in the 80’s when I bought “Climate of Hunter” and knew nothing about the 60’s albums until the “Boy Child” compilation came out in ‘90. He just wanted to make the music he wanted to make - without compromise. He finally succeeded and he kept a private life, which was rare in the internet age. A great, great artist.
So nice to see this. The legend that has grown up around him doesn't allow to see him as what he really is: a hard working, creative, conscientious musician and producer. That's how he does what he does folks! And these clips show that, more so than the stuff in the film, with people punching meat and building huge boxes... love the bit of 'guitar envy' he gets as well!
THANK YOU FOR THIS........as a Scott fan since 1964 I have followed every album....yes, up to SOUSED too !! ...and SUNDOG !! This footage of the so unique master at work is so priceless.....MORE PLEASE !!!! a question...will Pete ever write his experiences with his good mate Scott in book-form ...one day ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????
One of the best parts about listening to the album is wondering what Scott looked like recording it. Usually what comes to mind is Tony Bennett signing in a foggy graveyard.
It's fine to see these videos about the tracking process. And furthermore, the guys seem all passionate and kind as well. ... by the way, anyone knows which amplifier is the small one on the right alongside the Fender?
Pausing at 1:43, it looks like a Trace Elliot Velocette/Gibson Gold Tone (exact same amp except for the badge) with a Roger Linn AdrenaLinn II on top of it. BTW: "Hughie" is Hugh Burns, otherwise known as the guitarist on "Careless Whisper."
If memory serves me right he moved to Britain and remained there for his whole life. Or at least and extremely long time. Must’ve picked up the accent from living there
The Sun Ain’t Goin To Shine no more people. He’s gone to the great Spiritland but he’ll reincarnate soon as no one can stand his noise making genius there either.
There’s music and then there’s Scott Walker with blocks of freaky, alien noises irritating the ears, mind and soul of innocent listeners swayed by incorrect descriptions that he’s a genius and a musician. He came into this country with his velvet toned voice and then stayed too long. Can we let him go home now.

Agree, he was one of a kind.

A great, great artist.
Tim Smith!! But now.. he's dead too.
A small insight to the private Scott, at ease and at work. Thank you.
Scott has been a hero with no sword....just his bare presence and smart poetry..No1

Bye 30 century man, way ahead of all ,always pushing boundaries, the adventure continues, Thanks
Scott, in his head: "I want to make people REALLY uncomfortable." Mission accomplished.
Thank you for this insight into Scott enjoying what he does - sadly it’s now what he DID 😢 RIP Scott 💔
3:27 - the sinister look on the intern's face + the music = gold
Thank you so much for uploading this !
RIP you genius :(
fascinating. thanks uploader.
The "Genius at work" cliche fits brilliantly here. RIP, Scott.
For anyone "to find themselves", Scott Walker was way ahead of all of us.....
“Ahead”? Or way back to the Stone Age.
Still inspiring artists to move forward. So missed 😢 but we still have his incredible music ❤
GENIO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love Scott ❤
I love Scott. when hes referring to that wonderful amp.. is it a fender blues jr????? lol
Love Scott Walker!
So lovely to see Scott in his natural element, creating his sound and thoroughly enjoying himself.
thrilled to see this

He realized it was hard to play when he wrote it.!
It's really cool to faintly hear the clicktracks and sparse, skeletal arrangements that would later be finished.

Pretty interesting uses of a Les Paul and a Strat. My bet is Jimi Hendrix would have approved. What an amazing musical trajectory he had.
BLINDING SIGNS FLASH FLICKER FLICKER FLICKER BAM POW
They like saying "Hughie" don't they
rip
Is it just me or does Scott almost go into a British accent now and then?
If memory serves me right he moved to Britain and remained there for his whole life. Or at least and extremely long time. Must’ve picked up the accent from living there
He moved to the UK in 1965 with the Walker Brothers apart from a short time in Copenhagen
Been there since mid 60s must of been Bowies fault😂
whois thatgiuy in th e control room
Peter Walsh the coproducer
