  • BIOGRAPHY TIM FINN the Conversation
    BIOGRAPHY TIM FINN The Conversation “In a good conversation, everyone contributes equally” The Conversation is the brilliant new studio album from Tim Finn. Organic, intimate, introspective, celebratory – The Conversation sounds and feels like no other record the great singer/songwriter has ever produced. Economy and clarity – music and emotion stripped bare. Make it as real and honest as possible. Everyone involved contributing equally. That’s what Tim Finn was thinking long before work on The Conversation began. There’s a verse in the song “Straw To Gold”, which opens The Conversation, where Tim sings: “Lay down your heart/Break the world apart/Somewhere in the middle we could make a start.” That sort of sums up what Tim knew had to happen before The Conversation could progress. “Come down, come down from your imaginary kingdom,” Tim sings on another of The Conversation’s new tracks, “Imaginary Kingdom” [a song which, of course, takes its name from Tim’s last solo album, 2006’s rich and majestic Imaginary Kingdom.] Still, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly how The Conversation finally got started. In a manner of speaking, it’s a song cycle that begins with a track called “More Fool Me” and ends with another entitled “Forever Thursday” – two of the most personal and honest songs that Tim Finn has ever committed to record. But that hardly tells the whole story – those two songs don’t even appear on the track-list in that order. Tim Finn had long ago thought about making an album of new songs using only the most intimate of instrumentation.

Included were, Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam, Johnny Marr of The Smiths, Phil Selway and Ed O’Brien from Radiohead, Sebastian Steinberg of Soul Coughing and Lisa Germano. They staged three amazing concerts under the moniker 7 Worlds Collide and it was a huge success. Now seven years later, in New Zealand on the west coast of Auckland, Neil has done it again and this time he invited, KT Tunstall and Wilco to the line-up. In addition to the three concerts, they recorded an album of new songs -- in just three weeks. Go behind the scenes and watch as these amazing artists conceive, write, tweak, record and perform these songs. Experience their creative process and their camaraderie as they work together for a bigger purpose, to raise money for Oxfam. THE SUN CAME OUT is an inspiring, very intimate look at some of the best musicians in the world gathering in a place of spectacular beauty to record all new songs with a strict time limit, no real plan but enough goodwill to do it all for charity.

Somewhere back in history, someone created legislation that allowed artists to get paid. Copyright makes me feel that my work’s not for nothing. It’s hard enough to be a musician. If we didn’t have mechanisms to protect our work it would be almost impossible.” BIC RUNGA Artist & Songwriter “I would say that protecting the integrity of copyright should be our number one priority, so that the work of music creators continues to be valued.” NEIL FINN SPLIT ENZ, CROWDED HOUSE, FLEETWOOD MAC Artist & Songwriter “The internet changed things so quickly and there’s so much still to be revealed about its nature. It scares me that big tech companies are determining so much of the future for artists – and for the world in general. So much has been made possible for us by sharing – but far more has been made possible for them by what we share.” SALINA FISHER Composer, Performer & Fulbright Scholar “Protecting the value of what people compose, write and create is fundamental.
