When will we admit Siddhartha rules?
It was 8 hours of the best thing Billy has ever done, and it doesn't get the respect it deserves.
Pew pew! |

It would probably take BC's death, and that's not a promise

Nah, he's the one tripping. There's no other explanation.

I'll take the modular stuff over the wrestling anyday
Always found it quite odd how much crap he took for these modular events, think it was maybe just before fiddling around with modulars became ultra hipster? I mean it wasn't stellar to listen to but the lowkey art event in basically a cafe concept is fine |

"MY HOPE IS TO EMBARK ON A MUSICAL JOURNEY; NOT IN SONG, MIND YOU, BUT BY EXPLORING THE TEXTURAL SPACE THAT LAY BEHIND THIS POWERFUL, EMOTIVE PROSE; AND LIKE SO MANY GLIMMERINGS IN THE MIND'S EYE, CAPTURE THAT WHICH IS EVER CHANGING, BUT STILL"
Yes Bill, you certainly achieved that! |

he should have done it more often. I would have been an interesting project to watch develop.
seriously. It's difficult to measure the quality vs accidental tones he runs into. one ongoing session didn't reveal to me the kind of depth I was hoping from. |

You might say "Well, Cupid de Locke," but I don't put that in the same class as this horseshit because it's purposeful, poetic in an actually pleasing way (if you like the Romantic poets; I generally don't but whatever), and it works. It's not embarrassing; it's meant to be flowery and over the top. This is... not that. I guess I'd like an episode of the podcast that's just "What the hell I think I'm doing/who I'm aping by writing this way," you know? Like where is this coming from. |

Did he ever finally sell those 500 or so box sets made of Siddhartha? I used to love the monthly updates when we found that a unit was moved.

I've never listened to Siddhartha all the way through, but skipped around a bunch. I don't think it's stupid that Billy tried something like this, but there's an undeniable cringe factor to it. The whole concept is pretentious as hell, but whatever-- it's just a experimental, avant-garde kind of event at his niche tea-house.

The way Billy started experimenting head-on with synths has always had a quality of outsider art to me-- I'm talking about TbK onward. His approach to them baffles me-- they sound like toys, and I feel like he treats them like toys. It's fine to me, though-- I like Atum well enough. And he seems happy with what he's made. I like that he has never made the same album twice.

Siddhartha is by far the most pretentious thing the Bald Lord has ever done, which is saying quite a lot.

To anyone who actually uses this sort of synth: Does it look like Billy is turning dials and shit with intention, or does it seem like he's just fiddling with random things to see what they do?
Not necessarily a criticism—if it's the latter, maybe playing randomly with it was his intention to like "channel Buddha (who never learned to play the synth)" or w/e—I just have no way of knowing |
