Commentary: |- <i>Michael Guy Bowman:</i> + This track was an attempt to try something in the same vain as the soundtrack to Jet Set Radio Future which was recommended to me by friends Erik Scheele and Richard Gung. Composer Hideki Naganuma has created some of the most intricate and engaging pieces of dance music I've ever heard - his signature approach is his construction of entire songs around only a handful of samples (check out "Funky Dealer" for a good example). + Going off of the notion that there aught to be some music dedicated to the 3 years that John, Jade, and Davesprite spend by killing time in Ghostbusters 2 MMORPG, I recorded myself singing the famous exclamation uttered by Ray Parker Jr partway through the legendary 1984 single. What is the deal with that line, really? Apparently chasing ghosts isn't just a public service for Mr. Parker - it gets him off. + The majority of the track is driven by drum and crowd samples with some very funky but intentionally primitive synths on top. I liked the idea of building up to some big climactic house beat, and the climax of the song is sort of an homage to Kalibration and his EDM project Screamcatcher (albeit missing all the cool). - The art is by Victoria Grace Elliott. + + <!-- The art is by Victoria Grace Elliott. --> + + <i>Michael Guy Bowman:</i> (Bowmantown Discord, excerpts, 9/11/2017) + + Busting makes me feel [ahead of the game](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tdyU_gW6WE) + + [[artist:robert-j-lake|RJ]] once called me a Neil Wannabe I think on Twitter<br> + [[artist:richard-gung|Richard]] called me "budget Lemon Demon" in college<br> + It is the thing that appears on my related artists on Spotify<br> + Neil is fantastic though, if this is great minds thinking alike I'm honored + + I think he understands a generation so crystal clearly though in a way I'm still never going to. They'll look at him like Andy Warhol someday. He's the next great voice in pop art after him, certainly. They want to give that honor to Banksy or some other pretentious counterculture figure but I think Neil looks up to kitsch rather than down to it. That makes all the difference, like comparing Dan Harmon to Seth McFarlane. Parody should honor its subject, not condemn it --- Track: Everything is Something to Somebody Artists: |
