Is there any relation between the title and the final stand-off between Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Moriarty?
Jonny Dawe: Often our music suggests a sense of ‘place’ or a landscape to it. I liked the idea of turning this around and giving the track a title to a significant place; Reichenbach Falls, the place where Sherlock Holmes confronts his arch nemesis for the final time. (Add your own metaphors here…. life/death/battles with your own subconscious etc.) I also like the way that lyrically and musically there are no indications towards the literary history of Reichenbach Falls, but somehow in the world of OSKAR a connection is drawn! One of the tracks, ‘Sanatorio’, was built around the experience you had whilst running a workshop in a Spanish psychiatric institution where some patients began singing songs from their childhood. Did you ever discover what some of these songs were and what they were about? NP: They were mostly playground rhymes and a few popular songs from the period that they were young. The amazing thing was that they were singing at all, because they were virtually catatonic
