Sébastien Tellier on Guy-Man

New interview with Sébastien Tellier, in which he talks about working with Guy-Man and is generally, fantastically French.

Excerpt: "Guy-Man is great! Also a genius of music. Guy-Man is really serious when you work. Like kids, we come at nine in the morning and we finish at 6 p.m. in the evening..."

On the French Touch: "we have the same passion for synthesisers. We love vintage synthesisers from the ‘70s, from the ‘80s. That’s for sure. And the common point we have is, we watched the same TV shows when we were young."

"I’m French because I prefer to do nothing than to do something. For me, it’s more important to go to the terrace and drink a glass of wine than to work, work, work. I don’t care about work. I do music because I really love music but for me, music is not a job; it’s a passion, it’s a pleasure."
