Faith v2

Findlay Napier — Findlay and Boo's Interesting People

Listen

Here’s a only very slightly less dodgy version of Faith featuring a drunken choir of deaf goat herders and a ham fisted electrical guitarist. Less of a blueprint and more of a grey smudge… I’m going to live with it for a week and then replace most of the parts.

… and if you listen carefully at 1:56 the delay and reverb on the voice get turned off.. Oh christ… what’s happened to me?

The Beast in Me… I’m currently obsessing over this majestic little song. Such a strange structure too. It sounds really simple, three verses and a middle 8 but none of the verses are the same. That’s only part of what makes it so uncomfortable.

“MIDI,” Lanier wrote, of the digitizing program that chops up music into one-zero binaries for transmission, “was conceived from a keyboard player’s point of view…digital patterns that represented keyboard events like ‘key-down’ and ‘key-up.’ That meant it could not describe the curvy, transient expressions a singer or a saxophone note could produce. It could only describe the tile mosaic world of the keyboardist, not the watercolor world of the violin.”
