Techno, as always....

 

Grayfolded is an album produced by John Oswald featuring the Grateful Dead song "Dark Star". Using over a hundred different performances of the song, recorded live between 1968 and 1993, Oswald, using a process he calls "plunderphonics", where he built, layered, and "folded" all of them to produce two large, recomposed versions, each about one hour long.


In an interview in 1995 Oswald described how the project came about:

Phil Lesh called me up and talked me into doing it. At that point, I hadn't listened to any Grateful Dead music in about twenty years. I did think I was qualified, because I do think it's often a good idea to come into a project without a lot of prior knowledge and get kind of an alien's overview of what the music seems to be, and then put in your own two cents of what you think it should be. And I think that was the case for this. During the course of working on it, I went to a couple of Grateful Dead concerts, but other than that, I haven't listened to anything except these hundred versions of "Dark Star" that I found in the vaults.

 

Now if only he could really dance...

Love the song though...

My top indie guys in the rotation are JNTHN STEIN, Slynk, Pogo, and James Blake

They all have a sound unlike what I was used to hearing, and something you'd never hear on the radio (except that one big James Blake piano song)

Oh! and how could I forget! Louis Cole's solo stuff & his band KNOWER
