Hey all -
DERU Neo Ouija LIVE TONIGHT 8pm PST on www.piratetv.net (click on the
TV).
A blurb:
Ben thinks about sound as he falls asleep, when he can¹t fall asleep, and
after he falls asleep, when he wakes up in the morning. Often, if you are
sitting with Ben and he looks like he is in a far off land, he is thinking
about sound. He strives to make the sounds that he thinks about. He tries to
manifest these sounds with various devices - to buy them a ticket out of his
head - but it is like trying to grab a goldfish out of its tank with bare
hands. Ben longs for the future when he can grab these sounds, and secretly
hopes to never reaches that point, for he enjoys this struggle. He
obsessively keeps a scrapbook, continuously and lovingly rearranging these
sounds. And luckily for us, these sounds make music.
The word Deru is the root of such words as tree and duration. Ben likes the
idea that once music is released, it takes on a life of its own - it grows
roots. From listening to music while driving along the coast of Spain to
listening on headphones in the bathroom of Newark Airport, it is impossible
for Ben to predict the life of this music. He wouldn¹t have it any other
way.
Ben is from Chicago and lives in LA. Ben is about 23 (I think). Ben Wynn
loves hip-hop (good hip-hop).
-thanks for tuning in
