Flute Job - Part II / Birdman Serge Meseth, aka Serge47 - This "rock & roll funky show dimension cybernetic flute (More) Serge Meseth, aka Serge47 - This "rock & roll funky show dimension cybernetic flute boy"('s), first time in a recording studio.
THIS NYC MESSENGER/MUSICIAN and "Street Player" from Cusco and Lima, Peru can really make a "pretty sweet sound" with his flute. I first "experienced" Serge and his percussive style of playing, at "Le Bar Bat", 311 West 57th Street in New York City.
Fortuitously, the space was full of "good vibes" and had previously been the "world famous" recording studio, Media Sound. Before that, it had been an old Manhattan Baptist Church. Everyone from Aerosmith, Aretha Franklin, Guns N' Roses, Kool & the Gang, Jimi Hendrix, Billy Joel, BB King, John Lennon, Meatloaf, Jane Oliver, Yoko Ono, Frank Sinatra, The Rolling Stones, Barbra Streisand and Stevie Wonder (to name a few) recorded multi-platinum records there. I produced several projects there. Media Sound was owned and founded by John Roberts who had put up the money and produced The Woodstock Music and Art Fair. Of course, those appearances at "Woodstock 69" i.e. "Woodstock" by Richie Havens, Swami Satchidananda, Country Joe MacDonald, John Sebastian, Sweetwater, Incredible String Band, Bert Sommer, Tim Hardin, Ravi Shankar, Melanie, Arlo Guthrie, Joan Baez, Quill, Keef Hartley Band, Santana, Canned Heat, Mountain, Janis Joplin, Sly & the Family Stone, Grateful Dead, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Who, Jefferson Airplane, Joe Cocker, Country Joe and the Fish, Ten Years After, The Band, Blood Sweat & Tears, Johnny Winter, Edgar Winter, Peru (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young), Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Sha-Na-Na, Jimi Hendrix and Neil Young are all legendary today.
Serge's energy is electric and intense. He was running around the club jumping from one stage to another. He was singing and playing "original songs" on the flute and accompanying himself seamlessly. His music is both "aggressive and sweet". Wild! I figured he was "spun out" on "serious drugs".
QUITE THE CONTRARY, later after his set I introduced myself. It was really refreshing to meet someone so "clear thinking" direct and original. He has never taken drugs; "he's clean"! After talking with him I felt committed to interviewing him on camera. I have rarely encountered a person as "talented and unique" as Serge.
STREET MUSICIAN - As it turns out Serge played regularly on the corner where I live. His flute playing was so distinctive (like hearing Ian Anderson on flute or George Young on sax) that I began hearing him everywhere. He worked / The East Village (by the Cooper Union Cube) / Union Square / Columbus Circle / Central Park and all over New York City. He rode his bike around the City, chained it, opened his flute case and was instantly in business. He is innovative; his music has a rich, magical and joyful resonance in it's sound.
I was surprised to find that he had never recorded any of his songs and more surprised to find, he played the guitar, keyboards and seemingly any instrument he could get his hands on. I decided he was either "crazy or brilliant". He explained his father is French and a professional saxophone player, his mother from Peru. He grew up in Cusco and Lima hanging out in music stores where he learned to play. You might be surprised while watching the video to know that has never owned a guitar or a keyboard but HE CAN REALLY PLAY! VERY COOL!
It seemed the perfect way to find out who "the man behind the music" is, was to let this "Street Player" loose in a recording studio. I decided that I would record him at my Friend (Benjy King)'s "Home Studio". Benjy, a "Former Pop Star" and keyboard player (of the 80's band, SCANDAL, with Patty Smyth) has a comfortable studio in his apartment on Lexington Avenue and he produces a "really good sound".
My favorite memories of working with Serge 47, including filming him while he built his tracks, were following Serge around town on his bike, seeing his "Studio/digs" (in the basement of the former, Piano Store Theater, 158 Ludlow Street, NYC) and his neighborhood haunts. I loved our cam interviews and listening to him tell about Machu Picchu, Cusco and Lima Peru, "His love of music" and his experience with UFOs in Peru. Not sure what planet he's from but I'm convinced he's an Alien. That might explain his EXTRAORDINARY TALENT.
I haven't seen or spoken with Serge in quite some time. He hasn't been playing at his old haunts around town. I miss hearing his flute playing and seeing his honest face. The City Streets don't feel quite the same without his electric energy.
Someone once told me, "Talent is like cream to milk, it rises to the top". If that's true, I know we'll be hearing a lot more about Serge Meseth. I hope you enjoy the film and meeting THIS GIFTED MAN.
Serge, I know you're out there... ET Phone Home!
