name of band
beige monk
where are you from?
i'm from new jersey, currently based in philadelphia.
what kind of instruments/equipment you use? do you use some particular record technique? which is your method of composition?
i'm always looking for new techniques to work with, but the main thing for me is always my acoustic guitar. almost everything i write starts as an acoustic demo and then gets fleshed out when i start playing with arrangements & electronics on my laptop.
What is your relationship with media and mediatic culture?
i live in it, i'm pretty much a cartoon. are there things that aren't media?
What do you think about the form of album? Is it still valid or the digital era somehow cancelled the necessity of the specific form - like Lp or Ep?
i think the album form is still valid, & i like to work within it just because i'm comfy with it, but i don't think it's at all necessary anymore. a trend i've noticed recently is shorter albums with shorter songs, quick and to the point, & with songs being easily removed from their contexts and easily replayable (for that streaming ca$h). i guess some of my stuff falls into that, or if not, i'd like to make more that does. something about tiny music is very satisfying to me.
Where usually you find/hear new music?
probably twitter more than anything.
what do you think about the music context nowadays and how you place yourself in? do you feel a part of any scene?
i don't know if i feel especially connected to music as a whole right now. i guess it's because i'm so small and because most of my music is very personal to me. but if alienated trans people who share their music on twitter is a scene, & i think it might be, then i'm part of that.
