ODG222 : Gregory Paul Mineeff / amidst. interference
Gregory Paul says:
“With ‘amidst. Interference’ I wanted to explore the sounds between sounds, the melodies amongst the ever-present soft distortions. I wanted the album to be a marriage of my solo-piano work, ambient and drone tracks and electric guitar, using distorted guitar as an ambient tool to explore mood and texture. As inspiration, I had in mind Neil Young’s Deadman soundtrack sitting side-by-side with more modern classical, felt piano explorations and melodica melodies. All tracks were recorded at Considered Into Atrophy Studios, utilising analog instruments and recording techniques, often embracing the noise produced.”
“The album also takes inspiration from the Percy Bysshe Shelley poem Ozymandias, with its imagery of sand as a million fallen voices, a society that has fallen and future when we explore the past as our present passes us by. It also explores the notions of life and loss and the often unfinished and unexpected nature of life, so unlike the neat and tidy endings often presented in films and popular culture. It is about the moments we let pass us by without appreciating them, the human nature of always seeking more and more and better and better. It is about taking a moment to appreciate our lives, to have a cup of coffee and savour it for a moment with a loved one. To just stop. To think. I hope this album presents you an opportunity to do this.”
