About this episode
Bach Artillerie is made up of multi-instrumental wizards Greg Saunier (Deerhoof) and Curt Sydnor. This absurdist take on the nine canons from Johann Sebastian Bach’s Goldberg Variations and his Brandenburg concerto no. 5. will be released on April 24th via Ernest Jenning Records. We get a unique perspective from both Greg and Curt not only on Bach’s musicality, but his work ethic, the root of his dissonance and why Bach has a grounding influence on their own music creation. They discuss how a Lutheran work ethic relates to music making today and why being less productive may be better for our species in general. Greg and Curt explain why it’s important to “play tempo to the room”, they share their experience of making the record in one day and the three discuss why AI is more of an indication of a lack of trust rather than a lack of competence. Curt tells us how a re-arrangement of a Deerhoof song brought he and Greg together, we hear a new tune and somehow the topic of The Red Hot Chili Peppers sneaks into the conversation.
