Questions for Michael Hoenig
Tell us about your early years of playing with Agitation Free in the 70s.
Did you enjoy playing with Tangerine Dream in 1975? Did you ever consider joining the band on a more permanent basis?
Your first solo album Departure From The Northern Wasteland (1978) is a classic in the electronic music genre. How did you work on this album?
Why did you decide to move to Hollwood in the early 80s?
Tell us about working on Koyaanisqatsi in 1982.
Would you say that meeting Jack Nitzsche in the mid 80s was the breakthrough you hoped for in Hollywood? How did you meet him and how did you two work together?
How did the collaboration with J. Peter Robinson on The Wraith (1986) come about? Did it disappoint you that no score material appeared on the soundtrack album?
Your work with Robinson continued with The Gate the year after. What kind of score was this?
1987 also saw the release of your long-awaited second album, Xcept One. Are you pleased with this album? What exactly happened to the record label Cinema Records which seemed to go under shortly after?
The Blob (1988) was your first score album release, on the Filmtrax label. How did you approach this film musically?
Tell us about the music you wrote for The Last Of The Finest and Class Of 1999, both of them released in 1990.
You produced Jack Nitzsche's score for Revenge the same year. I was always curious whether Nitzsche was Tony Scott's first choice as composer on that film, as Scott just had worked successfully with Harold Faltermeyer and Hans Zimmer. What can you say about this?
Did you have any contact with your old mates Edgar Froese and Chris Franke during all the years you spent in Hollywood?
In 1995 you scored the two feature films Terminal Justice and Above Suspicion. Tell us about this music.
Your music for Dark Skies (1996) finally got a CD release on Perseverance Records some years ago. How did this release come about? Are you pleased with it?
Tell us about the music for the Baldur's Gate video games, and the CD releases of the music.
How did you score the 1999 Kiefer Sutherland-movie After Alice?
William Hurt starred in the film Contaminated Man (2000). What kind of score was this?
You scored over 20 episodes of The District in 2000-03. How is working on a TV series different from scoring a feature?
Has your music ever got replaced by another composer? If so, on what films?
You have not worked on a film score since Dracula 3000 in 2004. Why is that? What have you been up to since then? Will we see a return to film scores soon, or will there be another solo album?
