The leader of Dirty Projectors, David Longstreth, took to the McGuire stage at the Walker Art Center for a special installment of Making Music. We learned how the multi-instrumentalist crafts his music from a wide assortment of sounds, voices, and anything else with a touch of inspiration, as displayed in the Dirty Projector's 2009 release "Bitte Orca".

  • I wish these videos were louder

  • @atrickp Indeed. What a guy. I also love how there's a great contrast in a language, with high-level vocabulary like "ethos" and "apotheosis" among such charming use of "like, totally". Good on you, Mr. Longstreth!

  • Dude, look at the vid before this and you'll see where the REAL influence comes in. I think he takes a lot more from Wilson and Lennon than "Hell Yeah Burrito."

  • "absorbing that ethos..." "apotheosis" what a guy

  • i think its funny that his music is just absolutely everywhere and has crazy composition.

    and most of his influences are straight forward punk bands, thats awesoms.
