“ my room
” , an ep from los angeles based artist and creative yungdurr
q. what was your primary inspiration for
the production of this project ?
a. to
define one specific location of inspiration would be tricky, but I can
definitely think of a few key sources. mainly, the concept of a person’s room
or perhaps more specifically, my own room; is what is really at the center of
this whole piece. I think that a person’s room is an extension of their psyche;
maybe a reflection or even personification of the subconscious. In my case,
this means cramming my marshall 4x4 stack and other miscellaneous speakers and
recording equipment, plastering my wall with a chaotic array of newspaper
clippings, notebook sketches, hot Italian models and basically anything that
masking tape can hold onto a wall. Unorthodox, to say the least, but this has
been a recording style that has absolutely changed my perspective on independent
creativity and productivity, as well as on audio recording in general.
q. what is your favorite song off of the
project ?
a. that’s a tough one, I really enjoyed
the whole creative process on this project. I think the songs work well with
each other, and I especially enjoy the project more as a full work rather
focusing on the individual songs. But, if I had to choose, I’d say that “
counting clouds (my favorite dream “ ), is the song that I connect with the
most on an emotional level. It’s a song I love to play even when I’m just sitting
at home messing with guitar. I also think it’s a song that listeners can really
appreciate and connect with as well.
q. is there anything you’d like to say to
your listeners about this new ep ?
a.
first
and foremost, I would just like to personally thank every single person in my
life who has supported this crazy
dream of mine, as well as all the amazing people who take the time out of their
busy lives to listen to my music and support me at my shows. I love you all. Hopefully
you can relate to what I’m saying in these songs, and I promise I’ll never stop
going :)
