Peter Hook talks about Martin Hannett and more

30.11.2011, Københavns Hovedbibliotek, Copenhagen, Denmark.
A couple of hours before Peter Hook & The Light play Amager Bio.

Peter Hook has no airs or pretensions about him. I watched him and The Light at Salford Quays. They played two sets, one for each album they were doing that night. So there was a break in the middle. Pete went straight to the bar and started talking to me, which felt like the coolest thing ever.

Fantastic Peter, memories conveyed with love, lucidity and laughter.

It's mine. It's the old Factory 'use hearing protection' logo made by Peter Saville for the first night at the Russel Club.. Pretty cool to have a legend like Hooky pointing at you :)

Martin Hannett was not "recording silence". He was recording background noise. At the time, and even now, having samples of background noise of multiple locations is extremely useful. Not just for noise cancelation, but for all sorts of purposes. The fact that Peter Hook doesn't understand that is astonishing to me. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the tracks of Joy Division's mixdowns came precisely from the manipulation of the "silence" that Hannett recorded. The beginning of The Eternal, for instance, may well have a lot of the "silence" that Hannett recorded.

I was there ! Got a hug from Hooky :)

[@therollingbeachfloyd645]

You wear it very well!

[@inspector_melvin9384]

Now play like a fuckin' musician!

[@JoeyArmstrong2800]

Entertaining guy Peter Hook is.

[@totaltwit]

He's probably worked out that doing these interviews pays well for minimum effort, so has adapted and works on a performance. Good for him.

[@sneakquencer]

Hooky looks great for his age. Don't think the Danish crowd understood some British terms. Wish he still played in New Order.

Bono picking up from where Ian Curtis left off...not fit to tie his shoe laces springs to mind

[@anarkie2016]

Bono is a useless prick

Martin Hannett (Scene from 24 Hour Party People): "You wear it very well, now play it like a fucking musician."

[@michellewilliams8188]

Hooky is quite funny.

[@Horizon344]

Interesting fella.

[@worldbones]

What's the tattoo he pointed to at 6:40?? Great upload, really interesting insight into the mad genius of martin hannett.

[@marguskiis7711]

fun

[@Mancheguache]

He's such a laught this bloke

[@fordprefect4345]

The reason why Hook didn't get any sense out of Martin was that he didn't understand and he wasn't on the same intellectual level as the musician that Hanett was.

[@leoa4c]

Lunatic or not, Martin Hannett made Joy Division and New Order. Yeah… maybe a lunatic. But the results speak (play) for themselves.
