New Interview with Keyboardist Bob Kinkel (TSO/Savatage)

[Dan Roth]

I know there are some Trans-Siberian Orchestra fans here on PE, so some may be interested in this.

I recently conducted an in-depth, career-spanning interview with Bob Kinkel, the co-creator of TSO, and some of the topics we touched on are:

• Bob's early musical upbringing and influences (hint: it was an iconic prog classic that started Bob on his path)
• His introduction and keyboard session work with Savatage
• The writing of their signature tune, Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24
• His many roles and contributions as producer, keyboardist, engineer, arranger, and musical director with TSO
• What he has been doing since 2010, including his new ambient project Cinema12
• And much more.
