I just killed a huge bug with a library book, I feel a little guilty (that i killed it, and that i got the library book dirty). But its too late now.
Anyway, Owen Pallet (aka Final Fantasy) is a wonderful musician! I found out that he plays most of the stringed-instrument arrangments for Arcade Fire.
One of my musician friends is letting me borrow 14 CDs from him, including Final Fantasy, has a good home. I'll definetly give it a good listen this week. By good listen, I mean I'll listen to the album start to finish at least 3 times, untill I understand the meaning of every song. Its kind of excessive, but I feel like thats how one should listen to an album, by really listening (which takes more than one time).
How do you listen to an album?
I think my favorite way is either in the car, on long rides, or with headphones before I fall asleep.
He has a demo on Soundcloud availble for (free) download. Also, this Pitchfork video of him playing is quite beautiful (the embeded video doesn't work, but that link should take you to the right place!).
