Re: Jeff Pearce - The Last Rains of October - Tribute to Emm
It wasn't intended as a negative comment, although it's easy to see it could be interpreted as such. All slights aside, it's a tribute and the objective is to show respect, so I'm enjoying it as such and listening to it from start to finish. It's good mood music.
This music can be realized on most any instrument using enough processing, so while I do not feel that this is music I would listen to in the car, it might be something to listen to while I was working.
After having seen a recent thread of 30-something year old Bob Culbertson mid-song spin a frisbee, that's also a guitar, do a rolling backflip while spinning said guitar / frisbee and crush rocking solos before and after, my attention, in a visual sense, feels a bit underwhelmed with this. So, perhaps a bit of context is in order.
This importance of presenting some sort of visual component to the music was driven home to me in a conversation I had a few years back with Rodrigo Serrao, in which he succinctly described the importance of a visual presence to accompany the music. If there was a way to present this music with ambient images and visuals, I might enjoy actually watching it.
I'll have to learn more about Jeff with the links that you provided - thanks for posting David.
