The Cult työstää uutta musiikkia

Englantilaisen rockyhtye The Cultin nokkamies Ian Astbury kertoo tuoreessa 89 FM A Rádio Rockin haastattelussa yhtyeen työstävän parhaillaan uutta musiikkia. Astbury kommentoi myös, kuinka hänen mielestään albumit ovat nykyisin mennen talven lumia ihmisten striimatessa kaiken musiikin. Tämä on myös lisännyt yksittäisten artistien määrää teknologian digitalisoiduttua.

Astbury kertoo:

”Yes, we have some songs. It’s just how we’re gonna release them, because now everything is very different with albums, streaming.

Albums are dead, pretty much albums are finished. Albums are dead, the concept of making an album, I like the idea of making — if you have a piece of music and it’s fresh, put it out.”

”Many years ago, it was just a different format — different time, different format So you went with the format, and the format was to release albums, tour, radio, that kind of thing, whereas now the format is very different — streaming — and I feel that’s why there’s so many individual artists now or duos who are making music in a much more digital environment, smaller environment. The art of microphoning drum kits, guitar amplifiers is kind of dying because you can get a lot of plugins, if you know anything about recording, that mimic what studio engineers used to be experts at. Digital technology can now mimic that. So we’re seeing the end of these incredible engineers and producers who worked in a very different environment. That’s not to say that what is happening now is not important or relevant in terms of the quality of what’s being made, ’cause there’s some incredible music being made that’s being done outside of large studios, being done in very small environments with digital technology. But I feel that the way that music is made now changes the way that people create.”
