1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Kate Sobrano has a new album out called My Life

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: Is a Symphony. She's also doing some shows but on

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: the East Coast and she's with us.

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,399
Speaker 2: Now good morning kay shows on the West coast.

5
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: You are coming here as well with the Yeah, my

6
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: Life is a Symphony? Oh well, I take it back then. Yeah.

7
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: No, no, it's yet to be announced. Okay, you.

8
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: Heard it here you defend yourself. No, I'm sorry.

9
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 2: This album was recorded before COVID, so it's taken four

10
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 2: years to actually make okay. And it says it's like

11
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 2: a film, and like the title suggests, it's like a

12
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 2: broad spectrum of all of the fields.

13
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, well is you know, probably obvious. So My Life

14
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: is a Symphony it's with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Features

15
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: some of your favorite songs reimagined. How many musicians were involved?

16
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: How many takes does it take to record songs with

17
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: the symphony orchestra.

18
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: Well, I think that people are under the idea that

19
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: the recordings take a long time as symphonies, and yet

20
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: they are recorded in real time. So orchestras are so

21
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: fabulous and they're so highly trained and so skilled that

22
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 2: you can just put a piece of paper in front

23
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 2: of them and it could have been like your life

24
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 2: Sopus and then just go boom in one take and

25
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 2: that's it. It's recorded. My favorite album that I made,

26
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 2: actually in my career to date, has been with the

27
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: Western Australian Sypney Orchestra. I know, and I'm not even

28
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 2: saying that it's a blow the whole It was actually

29
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: again another chance when I had like stepping over from

30
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 2: a pop artist into the stronics of space. Yeah, you

31
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: have to kind of do it with much respect and

32
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: dignity for the orchestra themselves because they can play you know,

33
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 2: Marla Beethoven, Rakmaninoff, and you need to give them more

34
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: than just a three chord pop song. You need to

35
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: give them an experience. The guy that I did in

36
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: his arrangements with is the musical director. He had been

37
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 2: for years with James Morrison's Jazz Academy, but he also

38
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 2: works with the Bamboos and the cat Empire, and so

39
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: he's got this really great study of pop and classics.

40
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 3: Okay, I've played those early on talking singles. There's New

41
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 3: Things on vinyl, and vinyl was the first time on

42
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 3: the radio. Is this album, Katie, Is this your thirtieth album,

43
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 3: What's Coming.

44
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is actually and in forty years of being

45
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: an artist, I don't aim to make the definitive album.

46
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: I don't reckon that's actually even physically possible. I think

47
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: an artist has to grow and they have to change

48
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: just as much as like from you know, when I recorded.

49
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: But I'm talking at seventeen, at the grand old age

50
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: of fifty six. You know, I'm a different person. So

51
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: you make music about.

52
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: Who you are. But I mean so many genres that

53
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: you have stepped around. Because I love Kate Sobrano and

54
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: the Septet just you know that album.

55
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: I put it, thought it a lot, and I see.

56
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: You know where no one can hear me. I love

57
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: the jest stuff.

58
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: I feel like I was born old. It was really weird.

59
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: I wanted to be all of those films draped over

60
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 2: a piano and smoky bars, and I was still young

61
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: enough to kind of like make it really sexy. So

62
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: it was sort of seventeen that album was released in

63
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: the guy who did that record for me, his name

64
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: was Cliff at Hocking. He had brought out Judy Garland

65
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 2: Frank Sinatra on their last tour and he booked me

66
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: in Perse for the Big Purse Festival there at the

67
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 2: time of the Big Boat Race, you know, the America's Girl.

68
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: And then so you could say, w A that maybe

69
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 2: you discovered me. You state, how good is that?

70
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 3: I know you're at the recent Opera Awards, and what

71
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 3: a night it was. I mean, speaking of Colin Hay,

72
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 3: I know you were there and you caught up with

73
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 3: the legend himself and I played those business as usual

74
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 3: on cargo albums. Still my fingers bled, but what a

75
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 3: wonderful thing for him to be acknowledged on that night.

76
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 2: So well, well, the statement that he made is true

77
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: for any of us that are like the kind of

78
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: the last of the Mohicans, if you can re evolve

79
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 2: and stay in the business of being who you are.

80
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: And he said, and oh this is a bad quote,

81
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 2: but meaning I'm not going to say it as he

82
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: said it, But he said, you know, I reached the

83
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 2: apex of a popular sort of success, and then I

84
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 2: had to start from zero again. And it's taken this

85
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 2: long to get to where I'm to sday. But he said,

86
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: this is the artist I always hoped I would become.

87
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: There's names Miss Sobrano in the Macquarie Dictionary.

88
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,679
Speaker 2: What true going on? You've done your homework.

89
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 3: This was amazing, totally.

90
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: A name is not in the dictionary, but here you

91
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: are sobrano o Kate.

92
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 2: They had to put it in there because I'm so

93
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 2: like notoriously misspelled my name. They needed to put it

94
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: there so that people could check it up in the

95
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: dictionary to see if it's spelt it right. Actually, I

96
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 2: am very glad for my career in the Apps. I

97
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 2: think Australia I have everything to think. I think my

98
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 2: daughter said it beauty once. She said, Mum, I think

99
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 2: you've got the career that you can handle, which it

100
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 2: is because I get asked off and she's there. Can

101
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 2: you imagine, you know, she's often in a super Oh

102
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: she was famous as Connie and as a little kid.

103
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 2: You know, this can be quite make a deep impression.

104
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 2: And then she she rationalized it. She said, actually knowing

105
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 2: you and knowing you as the mum that you are,

106
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 2: you're exactly where you want to be. So I was like,

107
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 2: I'll take a kid, that's a great compliment.

108
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: The album is out now and you shall in the

109
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: future and now it's some shows over here.

110

Speaker 1: Then it's all out there now and now I'm going.
