Talk to me about how you approached the raw material.
With this particular project, it did open up this possibility where it seemed to make sense to think a bit like a crate digger, or crate digging in latent space. What I was trying to do in the way that I made these arrangements was, one, just makes some interesting music. And also to speak to this idea of a potential for different ways of making music and different ways of listening to music as well.
So it was a lot about formula structures, things that were in some ways reminiscent of forms and styles that are very familiar, but then presenting themselves as things that felt like they were coming into being or falling apart. A bit like that kind of point when a Polaroid photo is just starting to develop. And if you can imagine finding a way to just distend that moment of apparition of something coming into being and just staying there.
Another example I’ll give is, and I’m just thinking of this now, but if you turn on the radio or a stream or something like that, and right in the middle of a piece of music, for a second, it just sounds like chaos. You can’t tell what it is that you are listening to. And then it will just slowly, or maybe sometimes quite quickly, just pop in and pop into something that makes sense.
I interviewed Actress back in 2017 and he said the exact same thing about musical moments that inspire him.
Well, there you go. It’s great you bring up Actress, because Darren’s work is super-interesting on this front. And also he has worked with AI in the past with his Young Paint alias.
I don’t think that most people, myself included, really appreciated the significance of that release.
I know. Yes, it’s one of those weird things, the comprehension the audiences have about certain things. At least in the way that they’re framed. Maybe it would’ve been different if that came out as an Actress record. Who knows?
This is also one of the reasons why I wanted to be really transparent about what was going on. I think in all of the information that’s gone out there, it’s been really upfront about exactly the tool that I’ve used. That’s why also I came up with that term “crate digging in latent space.” Just so that people could have a way in to understanding what was going on there.
Because I think it’s hard if you’re not super-techy or even interested in, because people who are into music aren’t necessarily interested in how music is made. You can love the Beatles without caring about chord structures. You don’t have to. Because the music just touches you.
