I once saw this pretty good punk band with a female singer play at a tiny bar in Miami. I liked the music a lot but kept thinking about what kind of punk music I would write if I could find a band. well, first of all, I would prefer to do the drums and vocals by myself, since that's what I'm working on ā playing percussion and singing at the same time.
all the music would be a referendum on the absolute retardedness of paid shills in politics, which is fitting because the punk genre has always been good at that sort of thing, and I feel that paid shills are a thorn in the side of productive social dialogue.
obviously, this could be done in the metal genre but I find the metal genre to be a bit too sentimental about mysticism.
anyways, during that punk show, I was covertly practicing whistle register things along to the music. I don't want to be accused of being psychopathic, but I do this everywhere where there is loud music to see if anyone picks up the frequency, cause that's how I know who's locked in and who's not.
I still believe that the only way to beat 'them' is not to join them but to write the most grievously accurate and harsh sounding album which blends the best of punk, jazz, and metal with a sprinkle of pop. I've been experimenting with this and it's a bit like drum & bass but not as repetitive.
afaict, jpegmafia is the only one who has done anything remotely close to this, but from within the hip hop genre.
maybe somebody can put some bars on that.
I think what's scaring me is that the nature of analog (meaning, non-sample, live-performance, on actual drums) beat-making means ripping holes in the borders of our beloved genres.
being TOO experimental means being mostly inaccessible, although this might not be a bad thing ā everybody knows that the best shows are the small ones!
