Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson - Book - by S.Wilson with Mick Wall
(2022)
The
more I thought about it, the more I realised my career has been
unusual. How did I manage to do everything wrong but still end up on the
front cover of magazines, headlining world tours and achieving Top 5
albums? How did I attract such obsessive and fanatical fans, many of
whom take everything I do or say very personally, which is
simultaneously flattering but can also be tremendously frustrating? Even
this I somehow cultivated without somehow meaning to. My accidental
career.
Limited
Edition of One is unlike any other music book you will ever have read.
Part the long-awaited memoir of Steven Wilson: whose celebrated band
Porcupine Tree began as teenage fiction before unintentionally evolving
into a reality that encompassed Grammy-nominated records and sold-out
shows around the world, before he set out for an even more successful
solo career. Part the story of a twenty-first century artist who
achieved chart-topping mainstream success without ever becoming part of
the mainstream.
From
Abba to Stockhausen, via a collection of conversations and thought
pieces on the art of listening, the rules of collaboration, lists of
lists, personal stories, professional adventurism (including food, film,
TV, modern art), old school rock stardom, how to negotiate an obsessive
fanbase and survive on social media, and dream-fever storytelling.
