RE: Art Collaboration 2 - Glitch Art Vs Paint
Haha, yeah that quote is super relevant to me, I'm always writing and playing stuff just out of my ability because the things that excite me most are things I don't quite understand. Bowie's last album is so incredible, most of my taste trends contemporary, but his backing band was some modern jazz players who I'm very into, so I was a huge fan.
Thanks so much for listening, I'm glad you liked it! What was your favorite track?
I thought Blackstar was phenomenal, after a few records I didn't really click with this was up there with his very best. What a way to go out and makes his premature death all the more sad. It hit me in a big way.
Picking a favourite on your album is difficult cos it's like one long journey with all the crazy twists and turns. If forced though I'd have to go for Tony Danza Quotes for the sweet calypso? opening and the manic breakdown at 2 mins - that sounds like a 505 chip being tortured but is probably a guitar?
Yeah Blackstar is the kind of album that makes fans out of people who aren't already into Bowie. It's such a shame he didn't live to keep pushing further, cos I have no doubt he'd have blown my mind again.
Cool! That's an interesting choice, that definitely personally felt like my best song until the last couple I wrote (Specter's World and Summer Thunder). Yeah, that's a guitar, those are natural harmonics being bent with my palm on a floating bridge. I never thought of that intro as sounding like a calypso but I sort of see what you mean. Thanks again for listening, I really appreciate feedback!
Ha! I'm no musical expert, I mean I listen to a ton of music but I don't know much about theory or different styles. Calypso is probably the wrong name for the music I'm thinking of.
I've always wished I could play an instrument and make music - recording an album remains an unfulfilled ambition. So nothing but the highest respect for you and your talents.
I still think I'm going to learn to play my acoustic guitar, build electronic instruments and record the greatest album I've always wanted to listen to. One day...
