the only two things fennesz has done that even come
close to touching the perfection of 'endless summer',
in my opinion, are his two track cd 'fennesz plays'
which i think is out on moikai or something, but maybe
it got reissued on another label... i don't know,
not too hard to find though and well worth the effort
because he "covers" the songs 'don't talk (put your
head on my shoulder)' by the beach boys and 'paint it
black' by the rolling stones. while fennesz asserts
that 'don't talk' is a very faithful cover and that
an acapella vocal track fits over his song, i've yet
to track down an acapella track to check it out for
sure... though i know with certainty that paint it
black is only a cover in the most rudimentary
conceptual sense. and also his new split
12" with main out on fatcat... while i'm not a big
main fan, fennesz returns to that soupy syrupy
beautiful sound he's got on endless summer with the
melodies now a bit darker and the drones a bit more
longing and pensive.
i don't really know too much about oval, though i
do own ovalprocess... i know someone who knows him
though and they told me about how the music is made...
and while i'd like to be able to merely appreciate
the end result, when you damn your album
oval/process//
you draw a bit of attention to it and obviously want
people to talk about it or whatever... so i don't like
automatically generated music is what i'm saying.
i think it's a novel application of programming saavy
to be able to construct a program that uses your input
to construct its own songs, but i think it's more a
testament to the remarkable artistic potential of
machines than it is to the unwavering ingenue of the
artist.
