Ah, the obligatory Nirvana phase, followed by a total Eels obsession. I’ve been there. I love Things The Grandchildren Should Know, it’s written really well. Until recently I hadn’t realised that a childhood obsession, Hugh Everett and his many worlds theory, was the father of Mark Everett. Hugh Everett inspired the novel I have been writing for over ten years, the novel I think will end up being my main central work. And then the Eels fed that novel 10 years later with their music. I can see that influence in your work and that too is feeding that same novel. Nice how things bleed together.
I agree with the presenters, the visual aspect of your work is something spectacular. I don’t think it’s just an aural experience, it’s part visual.
I really liked the bedroom session piece. I love the rift between harmony and disharmony, the distortion is very atmospheric. Shame it all stopped very suddenly, but that’s the way it goes sometimes and it’s all part of it.
I agree that your music would work aces for a proper cult British film. If I ever get round to writing a film script I’d insist that your music feature heavily on the soundtrack, for sure. 😉
