Interaction with technology in an organic way is a great way to articulate what we are hearing here. I really love this band (Aiming for Enrike) and this post. Thank you for always expanding musical horizons, Spin. This is good stuff. The explanation of how they are using pedals really enhances the appreciation.
ReplyDeletePS Nice D^2 callout.
ReplyDeletePPS Sly coda on the melody observation.
I think your theory is correct. I also like your observation that challenging music can also be fun, enjoyable, and even danceable. For example: Kraftwerk.
