Jan Jenilek, you write long long phrases for the titles of your songs, does it mean really sommething and does it give to the song an added value?
Nah, they are just random phrases that I listen walking on the streets or watching movies and stuff.
@mca: yes, wait here for Jelinek’s answer hehe lol
Where is Jelinek from? His English is faulty, which underlines his daftness.
Germany, dude, and I don’t give a pendejo for what you think of my english!
Each track is a collage based on an excerpt of an interview with a public figure, isolating the spaces between words as well as the non-verbal noises the speakers make. According to the press release, the vocal sounds “control a synthesizer, creating electronic sounds that overlay and merge with the voices to make 12 acoustic structures.”
– From Resident Advisor review.
Interesting idea; the Lady Gaga track is on preview on Resident Advisor, actually sounds kinda cool to me.
It sounds so fun…
