Dan Matz - Windsor For The Derby - The Birdwatcher - Five digressions

Dan Matz - Windsor For The Derby - The Birdwatcher

"Five digressions"

We discovered Windsor For The Derby belatedly, with their latest album "The Emotional Rescue lp". But ever since, we've caught up with their discography, listened to their previous epileptic albums, vibrated to their impressive stage performance, and dug a little deeper to find out Dan Matz's fascinating project The Birdwatcher!

These are the five words that Dan Matz picked:
Marvin Gaye's "Inner City Blues"
Stillness
Static
The Clash "The Magnificient 7"
Dusk


Marvin Gaye's "Inner City Blues"
The first song I heard today. I live very far from any solid radio transmissions and this was barely popping through the a.m. radio. It is always such a joy when I find a good radio station to listen to. It's such a rarity. This canadian soul station eased me into the day.


Stillness
The calm from calamity. I decided to get away from the project I was working on today and venture into the woods for a last walk before the winter snows bury the trails.  When I am walking in the woods I try to make every move with non-associative intent and notice every leave tread upon.


Static
This is what happens when you go for too long a walk in the woods. The peaceful sounds become a cacophony. You forget where are you are and why.


The Clash "The Magnificient 7"
I tried to reinvigorate myself after my long walk. Unfortunately (fortunately?), I was reinspired to lock myself back in the studio after a couple of listens to this song. I dance in the kitchen so I can slide like James Brown across the linoleum floor.


Dusk
Someone very close to me would always tell me dusk was there favorite time of day. Hundreds of days upon days. Every dusk I think of that person now. I realize that, in many ways, we do not share the same dusk.
