Songs or composing music is more like having good ideas with writers, and if they are great ideas it is good, but if they are corrupted, the good ideas can become bad ideas, the untrue ideas. Most of us are utterly unaware of the little changes in the brain that music makes while we listen, and maybe that learning music theory helps a bit, but musicality that we mainly inherit is the one that shapes it. This is like a little voice inside of our head that tells us that this music is good, identifying it very clearly. Do we know how to apply this identification to the music? And even if a music theory doesn’t work for everyone, luckily there is something called a good instinct.
This is what got me into this album, a good instinct! Ian White, a drummer from London (drummer of the bands’ Gallon Drunk, Lydia Lunch and Big Sexy Noise etc..) an actual punk music drummer, released
his first instrumental solo album. A solo debut Blyth, and boy it is a great debut! I wouldn’t
call this experimental album as others that wrote a bit about it. It reminds me
of drum and bass a bit, a genre that I like a lot, but yet I wouldn’t again call the
album Confessions of a Justified Sinner a drum and bass. It is the album that
has a fantastic atmosphere that takes you somewhere for a proper identification
with words. Maybe this is why in other reviews this album is called experimental, it definitely has a few layers.
Confession of a Justified Sinner is an excellent album. Ian White has
other projects teamed up with Gallon Drunk guitarist, organist, and lead
vocalist James Johnston on Big Sexy Noise with saxophonist Terry
Edwards and vocalist, performer, filmmaker, writer Lydia Lunch and yet
this solo project Blyth proves the right. This man, Ian White works very well alone. A Confession of a Justified Sinner is a contemporary-driven piece, it is the music that gives also a slight jazzy element too. There are for sure some loop patches destined to synchronize consciousness for serious psy in there because the drumming parts that give a special impression. I hear the sounds of a future, balanced beautifully, an exciting, almost cinematic soundtracks, with impressive beats, moodscapes, and
slightly, darker, but not depressive shades. Like a crazy jungle drum ‘n’ bass at to create a speed of the drums that again creates a laid backtrack to a cool atmosphere. A listener can concentrate on this
element, a cool and exciting atmosphere. And no, this man is not under the
influence of a virus lockdown so much as many other musicians. Ian White’s Confession
of a Justified Sinner solo project Blyth is featuring a good album.
The music genre places great importance on the “music line”, a deep drum-bass musical pattern, which
sometimes can be felt physically via a powerful sound system. The musical
frequencies favored has been considerable exploration of the different line regions.
A strumming beat of a drum that seems to be wild and (un) – coherent, that sounds a little like drum and bass pattern. I do not know about the others, but I always liked music in different genres. I adore good rock, noise, punk, alternative, drum, and bass, jazz, sometimes acid jazz, a classic etc… You name it, and occasionally I like to walk into a different genre, even though the music genres are very difficult to determine today. Everything is about the complex brain latitude of mind, that is why music today is more complex. We are often roaming about from one genre to the other. We are all looking for something special and that isn’t bad and for the musician, it’s not that easy to use chords and make a sound that holds a constant interest. I noticed though those people who are always into one genre are actually boring, especially if they are the audience.
They do not listen to a beat or recognize something special, but simply
following an emotional pattern of their brain, sticking to the same thing all
over again, that little something that takes them back to their youth or first
love.
