I just wanted to share this as I find it nice to see a modern muscian (and a well known one at that) speaking creatively about his music.
John Frusciante
"This song, (Walls and Doors) recorded in September 2010, marks the point at which I began
combining 60s and early 70s production styles with modern electronic production
styles. This song was also the first time I successfully balanced pop music with
abstract forms of music. This song showed me that the pop parts of myself and
the more adventurous parts of myself could blend without one compromising the
scope of the other. After this song I did not pick up the ball and run, but
rather I continued to challenge myself, experiment and investigate, more from
the abstract angle than the pop angle, until March 2011, at which point I'd
figured out the things which made it possible for me to consistently make
precisely the music I wanted to make, in which I was not restraining any part of
my nature, allowing me to begin the recording of PBX. I might mention
that Walls And Doors was also the first time my electronic instruments
had begun to convey the visceral energy that one associates with people beating
the fuck out of their instruments, in the context of a pop song."

Pity the song's terrible though
ReplyDeleteHahaha. Maybe takes a few listens. I'm not huge of it myself but at least he has a very technical and creative thought behind it, and I like that he makes that information public.
