I agree. If more so called musicians experimented with different instruments, there wouldn't be so many complaints about how all music sounds the same nowadays.
There's hardly any bands nowadays that don't have the cliche acoustic/electric+drums+bass.
Even some mainstream bands like Linkin Park are finally catching on though. They use some Japanese flutes in a few of their songs. It's a step in the right direction. :P
Hey man, don't forget Incubus. Didgeridoo on Redefine, pipa in Aqueous Transmissions, sitar in Nowhere Fast. Tool as well. They have a few songs with tabla in them.
ever thought of having some type of video for your music, like a music video, or something the have a DOP run wiht your music. i think it would be every influencial for a scene that needs to speech simply let the music play. and let the video speak for itself along with the music.
I have been coming back over and over to watch and listen to your music. I have a question this time tho, i was wondering if you have had any nibbles from any establishments interested in your music. Got any Radio stations, major artists, or anything in that such? I'm wishing you the best of luck and hope you can end up going big with this music ( if that is indeed your wish ). Keep playing mate.
oddmusic, you are by far one of the most orignal and inspirational artists i have seen on youtube, please do not stop posting these, i love your style and how you make it unique, ive never heard something like this before.
Thanks Casey, I appreciate your comment and glad you like my stuff... to be honest, I didn't know what people would think of it at first, so it's nice to get feedback :)
oooh I'd looove to play the igil it looks reaally cool, and it has a nice sound as well!you should give me lessons haha, however I don't have an igil and I live in Holland, which is not quite around the corner. (And not the capital of Denmark, somehow people seem to think so..)
Love it man,,you keep up the good work,Im a Didgeridoo player and i play along to this song every day.very very inspiring just like the Didge.wish i ca jam it up with you.
thanks very much, kate,just got my new website up, you can check it out at:
asinglethread [dot] com
I have a CD available on my new site now, since some nice folks like you have heard my music and were asking if they could get a CD of it. Anyway, you can read about it on my site if you'd like to stop by. -- John
not at the moment, hopefully soon, I do have some mp3 tracks you can buy if you'd like, on my myspace page (there's a link to it on the video descriptions or on my youtube channel) or you can go to " aSingleThread dot com " though nothing special there at the moment other than links to purchase the tracks.
I have a huge respect for any musician who can step so completely out of genre and self-consciousness that they can bring together the completely disparate elements and create something truly new and unique. I think this fits that description. Bravo.
I'm glad I stumbled across your stuff a while ago while I was on Fark. But I have to wonder, are you classically trained or did you just happen to find the Igil somewhere?
More good stuff, enjoying what you've posted. That riff is great, you could apply that to something like what U.N.K.L.E produce or else i could see this working in a progressive house/breaks context, along the lines of say Hybrid. Loving the verby delay tails you seem to favour. I havent checked your site yet but curious to see what pickups youve got on it
Were can I download your music?
By the way your music is great
