GOTYE – Somebody I used to know (pop single) – CELLO ORCHESTRA (minimum 12 players)

Other Identification:
Wouter De Backer Gotye is an Australian musician, though he was born and spent his first two years living in Belgium. He is best known for the 2011 hit “Somebody That I Used to Know,” which earned him two Grammy Awards. A multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter, he is also a founding member of the indie-pop trio The Basics. His music is known for blending various genres, including indie pop, folk, and electronica, and his work is often characterized by its detailed and experimental production.

He co-founded the Melbourne-based indie-pop trio ‘The Basics’ in 2002, releasing several independent albums. After his mainstream success, Gotye became more private, releasing a statement in 2014 that there would be “no new Gotye music,” though he didn’t rule out future projects.

Personal

David Johnstone lives near Pamplona (Navarre, Spain) with his wife Rosa and their two “Spanglish” children, close to the Atlantic Pyrenees. The nearest international airport is Bilbao.

He is interested in world affairs, politics, animal rights, and most sports (including being a lifelong suffering Reading FC fan!). Also passionate about Celtic culture and genealogy, he has traced his ‘English’ family back to 1280, although Scotland and Ireland have also shaped his background. And yes — he is half-ashamed to admit it, he loves silly jokes!

Social Work

David Johnstone supports animal rights, he is against any form of abuse towards them, and says a loud “NO” to bullfighting, foxhunting and any other animal cruelty.

TORTURE IS NOT CULTURE !
