Oneohtrix Punto Mai

[Starn]

La mia preferita è sicuramente The Station

[Homunculus1510]

Io purtroppo in sto periodo davvero non sto trovando né il tempo né la concentrazione necessaria per ascoltare sto disco, me lo sto tenendo da parte come la bottiglia buona.
Qui però c'è un articolo con intervista (non una recensione del disco, attenzione) in cui quel pazzo di Lopatin ci dà un po' di stimoli su cosa l'ha influenzato nel disco. E quindi anche le quattro epoche che citava prima ninarena.

Qualcuno ha idea di cosa c'entrano Gargantua e Pantagruel

In questa intervista di Lopatin su Dazed se ne parla.
Nello specifico:

Q: I suppose if you were trying to teach an AI about humankind by feeding it data from the internet, that would have to include Twitter memes, YouTube prank videos, reptile conspiracies, and all these bizarre elements of human thought that don’t totally represent us, but also totally do.

Oneohtrix Point Never: I love this book (Rabelais and His World) by Mikhail Bakhtin, who is a Soviet literary critic. He writes about Gargantua and Pantagruel and says that what’s brilliant about the book is that it reinvigorates and revitalises all the scatological humour and laughter, all the whispers and dirty jokes, that are told in secret – all of the stuff that’s really the meat of life is contained in this book. And history doesn’t contain any of that! History is written in this completely perverted way by perverted people with perverted amounts of power, about other perverted people with perverted amounts of power. A true assessment by omniscient AI of what we left behind would recognise that that stuff shouldn’t take up more hard drive space than all the other good shit. When you look at an artist like Jon Rafman, for instance, if there’s a modern day François Rabelais, it’s him, because he’s very aware of the folkloric potency of the internet and how that’s actually where vital shit is going on.

Vabbé praticamente va a finire che James Blake è così prezzemolino che è il nome più importante al mondo, oggi. Lavora con Kanye, lavora con Beyoncé, lavora con Bon Iver, lavora con OPN e fa dei disconi da solo.

[The Sheltering Sky]

Non so dove collocarlo all’interno della sua discografia, ma in certi frangenti credo si sia superato. Le strumentali sono pazzesche. Risalta subito all’orecchio la sua capacità di padroneggiare vari generi e la sua tecnica che migliora di album in album. Acquisto immediato comunque.

[Biascica]

Sale parecchio con gli ascolti.
E pare debba uscire anche un ep fra due giorni:

Curioso... Però due tracce sono già incluse nell’album. Chissà come mai avrà voluto fare questo ep.

[Starn]

Occhio che non è tra due giorni ma a Luglio

[Biascica]

Si scusate ho letto male.
Questo peró fa presagire belle cose:

- 3rd card in the collectors card series available with this release

Quindi aspettiamoci un quarto ep visto che col vinile e cd sono uscite solo le prime 2 carte tarocco.
