Infinity Hall Live Sneak Preview

We’ve known since the taping last October that the episode of Infinity Hall Live featuring Tori would be airing sometime during the program’s second season in the summer of 2013. Although summer is now knocking on the door, Infinity Hall Live’s website still offers no specifics on when the new season will start but it now seems that Tori’s episode will be the first episode of the new season.

More interestingly though, if you head over to the episode’s page, you’ll find a description of the program that includes a list of the songs that will be in the episode and three complete video clips from the show: “Cloud on my Tongue,” “Jackie’s Strength,” and “Snow Cherries From France.”

Check both the track list and the video out after the jump!

Thanks to Jimmmy and Sean for the tip!

Pro Motion Interviews Tori

Tori recently sat down with Pro Motion, a dance music marketing and prodution company involved with Peter Rauhofer’s “Flavor” remixes for an interview. Video of the interview was posted on their blog at the end of this week. During the relatively lengthy, as video interview clips go anyway, piece, she talks about “Flavor,” songwriting, and her thoughts on dance music as well as reminding us that that she’s working on a new non-classical record for 2014.

Check out the interview below:

Watch Through The Night

If you missed Tori and Hauschka on Au Cœur de la Nuit / Durch die Nacht mit this past weekend, you can catch it for the next seven days on Arte+7 in either French or German.

Unfortunately for those outside France, Belgium and Germany, those streams are unavailable. Fortunately for those outside France, Belgium and Germany, the program has been uploaded to YouTube a couple times so those of us outside the geo-fence can enjoy it too! The best-looking upload is this one from llliquidDiamonds:

Through The Night With Hauschka

Tori and the German pianist/composer Hauschka will be the subject of the episode of the Arte television program Au Cœur de la Nuit / Durch die Nacht this coming weekend.

Filmed last Autumn, the program follows the two musicians for one night as they meet and interact across the city of Berlin.

Curious? You can get a taste of what the program will be like from three video clips posted on the production company’s website.

The program will be aired late Saturday night (early Sunday morning) on Arte at 1:00 AM in France and at 12:30 AM in Germany. It should be available for viewing online after the broadcast.

Last.fm Originals Talks To Tori

Back in the Fall, Tori stopped by the New York City offices of Last.fm and spoke to them about Gold Dust, touring and the life and meaning of songs. Video of the interview was posted was finally on Last.fm’s Originals earlier weekend. Check it out below:

Tonight Show Appearance This Week?

Update: Looks like this is a false alarm as The Tonight Show website has now listed The Mowgli’s as the musical guest for the 16th and TVGuide.com has revised their listing as well. Our apologies for any heart palpitations…

The MTV Buzzworthy Blog reports that Tori will be a guest on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno on Friday, November 16th.

Curiously, The Tonight Show’s website does not have any guests listed for the 16th yet and Sue Trowbridge’s venerable Late Night TV Page indicates that the guests on the 16th are Chris Matthews and the Mowgli’s, as does Yahoo! TV. However, TVGuide.com says Tori will be performing.

Given the mixed messages, we will try to get confirmation as soon as possible.

A Date With Tori Amos

Journalist and TV personality Torgen Schneider interviewed Tori and has posted video of their conversation on YouTube as a two-part “Date With Tori Amos.” The first part is a discussion about Gold Dust while the second is a rather interesting and wide-ranging Q&A session.

C à Vous Appearance

Promoting the release of Gold Dust in France, Tori was the musical guest on the France5 television program C à vous on Wednesday, October 24th, during which she performed “Crucify.”

If you are in France, you can watch the performance on france5.fr — the segment with Tori starts around the 7:30 mark. If you are not in France, it’s YouTube to the rescue!

Many thanks to Marie at toriamos.fr and WAGA for letting us know about this! Marie also had the great fortune to be able to meet Tori before the C à vous taping. You can read about her experience on her website, where she also reports that there will be an article in the coming issue of the French Rolling Stone as well as interviews in L’Express and Pure People.

ECHO Klassik Redux

As many will recall, Tori was awarded and presented an ECHO Klassik award at a ceremony in Berlin last weekend. They had previously posted a short clip of Tori being interviewed by ECHO Klassik’s Axel Brüggemann on the red carpet before the ceremony but have since added a second clip, taken backstage after Tori had received her award, where they discuss the differences between classical and pop music with respect to risk and finding beauty in vulnerability, pain and torture in music. Ja, we like torture too…
