Vignettes by fuzzy...
Vignettes to me are little ideas or memories that might evoke a strong sense of emotion. The goal of this project is to try and match the description of a vignette that I've created. Many of these tracks I can trace back to a memory that had some sort of impact on me and I can recall many details of the exact time and place. This is a very personal album to me which is why I think it's perfect for someone like me to release due to my state of being.
This album will not have beats, hip hop, raps, anything of the sort. It was done out of wanting to explore other styles of music and cultures that have been inspiring me for a part of my upbringing. Not to discredit anything I've done thus far, I was just having an immense connection to the sounds that I desperately tried to emulate with the equipment and technique I have acquired up until this point. Much of the styling and character of this record is strictly percussive, as drums have always been integral to my process. I took inspiration from the clave patterns I would hear growing up, to the double conga hits at the end of a two or four bar phrase, to the intense rumbling of gongs and cabasas I would occasionally hear. These are the elements that made me appreciate what rhythm really is, and why rhythm is so important.
"Fuzzy Buttocks" has been, and always will be a moniker that is just a veil to deter those that lack the willingness to delve deeper and find out more about a person, artist, topic ,etc. Nevertheless, I have always had fun making the music I have been making in the past, but I had had a change of heart and viewpoint of what I should be dedicating my time to.
If you are not interested in any of this I do not blame you in any sort of way. I myself was not interested in this idea for a very long while. I finally got together the energy to make this project truly mine and I hope to whomever wants to listen enjoys it as much or more that I do.
(7/20/18)By the end of this year I would like to have this on vinyl somehow and I will figure out how to do that! If you want to wait until then to listen please do so there's no rush. Thank you if you've read everything above and God bless you. Thank you for showing interest in my art.
Again and finally, this is an album that is somewhat meant to be overlooked, shelved, ignored. I really just made it for myself and only for myself.
