It can't be Brian Eno or Markus Dravs... and it isn't one of the band members.

In one of his journals he says that he is a non-musician...

So... Phil Harvey maybe...:thinking:

 

I have never saw that journal before could you post? dont remember prospekt ever making mention of him or herself

Maybe the deeper meaning of "Prospekt" Will be revealed when the album is finished and ready to be released. :thinking:

well that changes my whole theory on Brian Eno being prospekt....lol i dont even care who it is anymore...lol

Mabye it David Holmes, their manager!!!???????????Hmmmmmmmm or it could be Jonathan Billars.

who is jonathan billiars and phil harvey?

I heard prospect was a cat

Pospekt is that colorful old guy with the pick, shovel, pack mule, and that tattered old hat, looking for gold in the California hills. He's in all the Westerns.

Giddyup little doggie'. Whoa mule! Cliff ahead!!:P

Well ive decided to break it down and search things to find out what we know of Prospeckt. Okay, here goes

We know first thing he has a little room above where the boys work/rehearse in their studio.

 

"Chris just burst into my little room upstairs at the studio. He’s been working on lyrics. Much more abstract, much more visual than before. This is reflected in the music too: less straightforward, more oblique"

 

Also, he was with the band before they got a record deal, that pratically rules out Eno.

 

"The control room is tiny. Literally smaller than my bedroom. The live room isn’t much bigger. About the size of the rehearsal room we used to have pre-record deal"

 

 

He dosent like Tension and dosent go studio alot of the time.

 

"I myself am not very good at dealing with tension. That's why I only spend short periods of time in the studio. I dip in and out. I'm too thin-skinned to thrive in the studio atmosphere"

 

He travelled with them to Barcalona, so he travels with the band often most probaly.

 

"We've been travelling light - an acoustic guitar, a couple of mics, a laptop and some headphones. We're recording in Barcelona - moving from church to church, setting up where we can: in front of the altar, under the pulpit. We've been playing at the feet of archangels. It's an odd scene: a host of saints look down impassively upon four unkept band members, circled around a single mic stand - singing loudly together as recorded guitars reverberate around the church"

Hes also not a musician.

"I have to confess that, as a confirmed non-musician, this approach slightly worries me. My feeling is that the album should be made up of the nine best recordings. If that means eight thrash metal tracks and one ballad then so be it. However that’s not the way the band see it and I have to respect their integrity"

 

He knows them for quite a long time from what he says as he says its the album he dreamed they would make so this tells us again he has known the band for a number of years.

"This is the album I always dreamed they would make. It's the sound of a band realizing their own strength. The sound of four men with total confidence in themselves and one another"

This is also said in a later Journal also,

Friday 26 October 2007 - London

"this will be the album I always dreamed we'd make"

He knows the guys and their duties in the band so this shows a relationship between them both.

"Guy - always the tastemaker and musical authority of the band - has guided and shaped the whole process always pushing but unafraid to rein things in when necessary"

 

He is an authority in the band and is important for them as he helps with artwork , Live shows,Coldplay.com etc.

 

The ups and downs come thick and fast at this point in proceedings. One minute we're all buzzing about the mix of Prospekt's March; the next we're crippled by doubt over the drum track for Lost! One minute we're over the moon about a new artwork idea; the next, we're all gloomy about our slow progress in designing the live show. Later today, we've got a meeting about coldplay.com and how to make it the best darn website out there.

So thats about all the stuff i could get about Prospeckt i hope it helped in switching on your brains and helping find out who this guy is.

Phil - without a doubt;)

I think

COLDPLAY = PROSPEKT

???

 

no idea

Phil

I have the urge to agree that Phil it must be.

 

And yet, I just cant seem to say it outloud.

 

Almost sounds like one of the guys themselves.

I hope too that they reveal all this ponder material someday.:confused:

Who is Prospekt?

 

Forgive me for being arrogant...

 

But who the heck is Prospekt? Is it Chris? :confused:
