A&E EDITOR
Senior economics major Pat-
rick Kane is one of the most
talented musicians on campus
and plays bass for UD favorite
Kinch. The University News took
the opportunity to sit down with
him and inquire into his life as an
aspiring rock star.
University News: When did
your love of music begin? When
did you first realize that music was
something you could seriously
pursue?
Pat Kane: I have always loved
music. My earliest musical memo-
ries are of my mother playing old-
ies on the radio in the car while I
bounced around in the car seat. I
started piano lessons at age three,
but I was in my first competition
at around five or six. It was prob-
ably sometime around first grade
that I started taking myself seri-
ously musically.
UN: Do you think musical tal-
ent is acquired or intrinsic?
PK: I believe
there are two types
of musicians: those
who have talent that
is both intrinsic and
acquired, and those
who have an ac-
quired talent. People
who have it "built
into them," play
naturally, and de-
velop an "ear." Those
who acquire most of
their talent usually
play quite mechani-
cally, and their "ears"
are usually not very
well developed. I be-
lieve it is fatuous for
someone to say that
musical talent can be
purely intrinsic, or
purely acquired.
UN: From where
do you draw inspira-
tion?
PKWhenl write

ould you like to go
to Rome ?
The annual Eternal Cities study tour
lead by Prof. Novinski provides a
wonderful experience for students
who don't plan to participate in the
Rome Semester.

Venice, Tuscany and Rome as well
as special destinations not usually on
the toursit's itinerary.

undergrads 3 of the Art History credits required in the Core,

and objects. These
can be both fictional
and non-fictional. I
love looking at pho-
tographs and paint-
ings. I usually hear the
"coolest" stuff in my
head when I do so.
UN: Could you
name some of your
major musical influ-
ences?
PK: This is a very
hard question to an-
swer. Basically any-
thing from Gregorian
chant to Autchre. I
almost forgot... NO
COUNTRY MU-
SIC!
UN: How difficult
do you find collabora-
tions? Is it easier to
work on your own?
PK:It is always eas-
ier to work on your
Own because you can
do whatever you want,
but easier is not neces-
sarily better because it can be dif-
ficult to come up with anything
decent at all. I enjoy collaboration,
and feeding off of other people in
the room that I'm playing with.
UN: You play a variety of in-
struments, including the piano;,
the drums, the guitar and the bass.
Which is your favorite and why?
PK: The piano will always be
my favorite because it is the in-
strument that enabled me to teach
myself other instruments. Any
musician will tell you that every-
thing is easier if you know how to
play the piano. Of course playing
bass for Kinch is something I love
to do, but I have never had les-
sons on any other instrument, so
I don't know if I'd be playing bass
if I didn't learn piano first.
UN: What do you see yourself
doing ten years from now?
PK: My dream over the next
several years is to play music with
Kinch, and then settle down and
start a family. I love playing mu-
sic, but I can't wait to teach my
kids too.
