Kaki King - The Making of Dreaming Of Revenge - Vignette 3

[FreedomBeats]

lovely studio

[MicahAllBoxedIn]

Hey kaki I am a fellow musician and one thing i've discovered is that if you just make something thats popular and that will sell you will just make urself miserable. Play what you are wanting to play and as long as it sounds beautiful and perfect to you thats all that matters and the rest will follow.

"People don't make music like this nowadays, people do not make nerd music. People make music for cool people that have punchy choruses and catchy things they can sing along with in minor keys so they can feel appropriately melancholy and dark and epic and weird and cynical but at the same time good about everything because the song works and there's a chorus a verse and a bridge."

[CyberchondriacNess]

If anyone's played Mirrors edge, there's a piece of music on one of the final levels, I think It's called The Shard (Ambient) or something, and it reminds me of this. :)

[sombermike]

omg....tool + kaki king would be an awesome show.

[blacksunshine89]

A guitarist who understands a bit of music theory. Awesome.

[buopako]

Nerds rule the world. I love polyrhythms and all that odd time sigs. The more of that stuff, the better.

[buopako]

I hope she opens for Tools someday.

[errosmusic]

Tools? LOL.

[buopako]

okay I knew some tool won't let this pass. Yeah I'm aware of the typo..thinking we are all intelligent here.

[OpaqueMoonlight]

wow i think i just realized why i liike Kaki King now. Her style falls under the other indie bands like God Speed you Black Emperor and Explosions in the Sky and The Fucking Champs(at least with the experimentation) and Blond Redhead and Enon and the Dresden Dolls....nerd music^^

[AnnaAdelly]

great great music made by a great great musician! Go Kaki! =D

[fortunateson08890]

Yeah, not too many people do music in 5/4 these days.

[WoodenSteelPuppet21]

before i saw this, i ddn't even think of all those noises in the song... i wouldn't have thought how much work there is innit

but it's GREAT::D

[SpeshelEdTed]

yeah i really didn't notice all of the little noises in this song until i saw this video where they kinda break everything down. it's pretty cool.

[Chippiej]

Nerd music ftw. I love Kaki's music so much.

[Leffuy]

I love the comment she made on mainstream music.

[tahini87]

It's the most amazing thing...

[higzyguitarist]

Its not nerd music!!!!!!!! its great music!!!!

[drumonit]

one of my favs

[UnderClassBoy]

great song, very fond of her 12-string epiphone in the background..

sorry, just had too..

[dmlled]

great!

[yalolol]

Luckily, Kaki didn't abandon this song.

I would have to say, Air and Kilometers is a very unique song, and it sounds really good.

Well.. Of course it sounds good. It's from Kaki. Lol

[jonas227]

i love songs in weird time signatures that sound so natural. 5/4 ftw! =)

[8394147]

Yay for nerd music!!

[emilymack87]

i like air and kilometers. it's beautiful in all it's nerdiness. i don't know why musicians do more of this nowadays. Awesome Kaki, Awesome.

[jtdiggerdogs]

super insightful

[Subtropicx]

oh kaki. u are the real reason music exists.

pop sucks, and i think u know that ;)

always push yourself and challenge urself to go where you never throught u could. u have amazing imagination!!!

[CiaraJune11]

@Subtropicx Agreed but all pop doesnt suck just the tasteless songs .... I love her though <3

[YouLikeBosch]

[stevethepilot]

I really like Kaki. And I really like that song. But I think she couldn't be further from the truth when she said that other musicians weren't experimenting with that type of style.

It's not uncommon that a popular musican calls themselves a pioneer of sorts. Kaki King didn't introduce this type of music to the world. But she did take it one step further. Eventually someone else will come along and do something even better.

[thenerocomplex]

i think she was referring to hipster music. like the boring kind.

[jlancia]

I can't believe you almost abandoned this track! It's so amazing! NERD MUSIC FOR LIFE! xo

[catharsis84]

air and kilometers is the best thing that happened to me in months

[SNObordr149]

i wholeheartedly agree!

and kaki, i saw you a couple weeks ago and can i just say that you are even more incredible live! sara quin was right when she said that its fun to watch you blow the audience's minds! i dragged my friend along and it was the first time she had ever heard you and she was absolutely amazed. so, i guess just thank you!

ps. i like your nerd music

[chazferrari]

saw you at the paradise just last week and you were GREAT! looking forward to seeing you again, this album is absolutely fantastic and i can only imagine how much work you put into it. this video gives us an idea, but we still can't see just how much effort you poured into it. bravo!

[FdF3221]

[louloumc89]

Fab video, so great! So glad you played on Tegan and Sara's Album, so I could find out about your music! Awesome! Oh, and for playing with them in Sydney last year, that was great!
