The song never remains the same

A couple of weeks ago Digital featured Danger Mouse and Danielle Luppi’s impressive WebGL video which was made to promote their new album Rome. As was noted then, artists have to do something fresh, new and different these days to get their music noticed amongst the hail of noise that dominates entertainment.

Step forward Gwilym Gold. The former frontman of London’s promising band Golden Silvers has gone solo and to mark the occasion has released his first single Flesh Freeze as a downloadable app using a new musical format called Bronze (bronzeformat.com). Far away from his former band’s sprightly indie-pop music, the new track is downbeat ambient song with Gold’s vocals pushing things along. Flesh Freeze does not have a conventional arrangement. A perfect song for some experimentation then.

The Bronze format is described as “a non-interactive music format, that transforms every aspect of a song, to create a unique version on each listen.” The result is that no two listens of the song are exactly the same. Vocals will not always follow the same order, the drum pattern may change, synth lines will appear and disappear:the arrangement and playback is always unique.

Gold himself conceived the idea and implemented Bronze along with the help of his producer Lexxx and, not your normal credit for a pop song, a team of scientists from Goldsmiths University in London. The non-static song is available for Mac only at the moment with iPhone, Android and PC coming very soon at gwilymgold.com. More music in the Bronze format is also forthcoming.

2009 in Pop: Condensed

Published on Jan 20th, 2010 by  

We could make some kind of astute point about how the positive message of this ‘mash-up’ promotes old-fashioned fun-having and dancing in the slightly austere current economic climate. Instead we’re just going to say ‘ZOMG’ and ‘awesome’ at regularly spaced intervals. Make of that what you will.
