2. When have you started to play music? Would you like to tell us about your first musical experiences?
• DP: I used to do a pile of shit called Flying Saucer Attack, no doubt Jessica can explain further....ha ha ha. 1stly: grew up thinking I am the walrus was "normal" music, which lets be honest it actually is, anyway I haven't been the same since.
• JB: Dave's self-deprecation is almost amusing... My first memories of listening to music - my first record was a Beatles compilation when I was 5 (a Christmas gift). As far as playing music, I started with the piano around the same time - but I'm not a trained pianist or anything like that. My grandmother showed me the notes, and let me mess around with things on her piano from there. I'm self-taught with most instruments I've played (obviously...).

3. Do you feel that you belong to a musical scene?
• DP: I don't feel I belong to anything; as for the Clear Horizon record I think it does pretty much stand alone in the current climate. (but whether that's a good thing?).
• JB: I wouldn't say that we belong to a musical scene. We're very much in our own little world - we're not trying to fit in. We're more trying to find what works best between the two of us, taking our strong points & seeing how they can fit together to make good music.

4. What was or is the general idea behind this project? Where does the name "Clear Horizon" come from?
• DP: The idea is to kick musical ass. Name is care of Alfred Hitchcock.

5. Are you able to give a definition to the music you compose?
• JB: No, not really. It's just the two of us sharing ideas & expanding on them - trying to find fulfillment in creating with another person. We'll leave the definitions, or labels, up to the critics.

6. Which emotions or messages do you like to spread to your public with your music?
DP: sweetness and joy.
• JB: Definitely not thinking of a specific message to share. I'd rather that someone listen to the music and maybe connect with it somehow at an unexplainable level. It's hard to explain the emotions one feels when they truly are absorbed by a piece of music.

7. To what is your album inspired? Which are the motivations, which have lead you to realise such CD? Which are its musical contents? Which kind of atmosphere have you underlined most?
• DP: Inspired by the way things are. It's just what came along... then the rest is up to you.
• JB: The contents are basically the result of a haphazard way of making a record! With this one, we were just curious to see if it would even work, so we threw a bunch of ideas at each other. We were definitely surprised that some good came out of it.

8. What do you think are the most representative tracks of the album and why?
DP: Dunno. Gotta try and take it as a whole.
• JB: I agree; there was a lot of care put into the album to make it flow from one song to the next, how to start and end the album, and each side of the album (for those with the cd, side 2 begins with "Millennium Blues").

9. Tell us about the lyrics.
• DP: I regard the voices as a sound in all of it, afraid I'm really not a "word" person, so not a lot to say. Except... "a child's eyes" is about mental abuse.
• JB: The music existed, mostly, before the words. So lyrics were often written because there needed to be someone singing something. It's not that the words are meaningless, but they are not a focal point. There's two tracks, though - "Watching the Sea," and "For Days," where they do stand out, and were meant to.

10. Can you tell something about your creative process? How does an album of yours born? What does it happen in studio recording?
• DP: The process is variable, this one was done seperately through the post, slooowwwllly, the next will hopefully be done together and a lot quicker.
• JB: The fact that we live in different countries, separated by an ocean, will make the process slow no matter what. Generally, though, the songs start out as one person's idea, then the other person adds things, and we go from there. We'll begin our second recording session in January for the second album; it's being done, so far, together in England. There's no pressure from the record label or anything like that, so we're able to follow the creative flow, wherever that might lead.

11. What was the most exciting experience during your work so far?
• DP: Just coming up with something that surprises
yourself.
• JB: For me, it's been working with someone whose music has inspired me & that I've enjoyed for many years. To connect with Dave creatively is amazing.

12. Which are there big differences between Clear Horizon and your solo-project activities?
• DP: Well, ch is not solo... that's actually a big difference when you're doing stuff, someone else involved.
• JB: Yes, that's the biggest difference - having someone else to answer to! But it is nice not having to be the person in complete control, to have to make all the decisions and to come up with all the ideas. Another person's input can be very inspiring, and lead you to places you never would have thought of on your own. Ideas become expanded upon, and usually made better.

13. How was the album received by the press and audience?
• DP: Too soon to know, you tell us!!
• JB: We've received a few really nice reviews so far, but there really hasn't been much time since the album was released for us to know how it's really doing.

14. What artists or bands have had the biggest impact on you? What are your favourites currently?
• DP: White Stripes of course, there IS no-one else... apparently...
• JB: Despite my cohort's obvious sarcasm (his specialty)... I think I can say that most of our influences come from older music.

15. What's your opinion about the world around you and its near future? Just draw us your subjective image of it.
• DP: Right wing neo-conservatism seems to have infected most everything.
• JB: Things do seem to be very bleak at the moment. Nearly everyone I know is unhappy, and the world is falling apart.

16. Favourites movies, film directors, books, writers, cities.
• DP: hmmmmmmm...
• JB: Dave's list is too long to type! Mine, too limited to be of interest! My favourite cities list would be huge, as I love to travel. But I'll mention Reykjavik, Iceland...

17. Future projects? Is it coming any new release?
DP: Second lp is on the way.
JB: Yes, we're in the middle of recording album two; it's hard to say when it will be finished.

18. Will you play live?
• DP: Possibblllyyyyy......
• JB: Probably!
