'Music for Elevators' is a unique
collaborative project between acclaimed electronic producer/composer George Sarah and
Anthony Stewart Head. The album has a subtle electronic feel and is a sophisticated,
stylish piece of work.
Anthony has achieved international acclaim in
numerous theatre, film and TV productions, but is probably best known for his role as
"Giles" on Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Despite his critical success with acting,
Anthony originally intended to pursue a career in music. He attended the London Academy of
Music and Dramatic Arts and got his first show business break as "Jesus" in
Godspell in the West End of London. He also starred in the London stage musical The Rocky
Horror Picture Show as "Dr. Frank-N-Furter." He has also showcased his vocal
talents on occasional episodes of Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
The combination of Anthony's rich vocals and
lyrical talent and George Sarah's orchestral electronica create a rich sound.
Music for Elevators also features guest
appearances by other Buffy cast members including Amber Benson, James Marsters and Joss
Whedon.

Q & A with George Sarah:
Q:
How did you meet Anthony and come to work with him?
A:
I met Anthony briefly when I was on the set for my appearances in season four of Buffy the
Vampire Slayer, however, it was the record label who came up with the idea of us working
together and they are credited in orchestrating everything.
Q:
Did you enjoy the experience?
A:
Yes very much.
Q:
Did you write together?
A:
About half of the record was written together. There are a couple of covers, a piece by
Anthony's Mom and a few older songs by Anthony alone.
Q:
What is your favourite track and why?
A:
Qu'est ce que j'ai fait. I just simply enjoy listening to it.
Q:
What comments would you like to make about yours and Anthony's musical styles?
A:
Just that we are both fans of music and appreciate various styles and genre's.
Many thanks to George Sarah for taking the
time to answer some questions.
