Klymaxxx - Musique

The Short Version Original Recipe Is Two Guys Steve Mason And Dean Williams. We've Been Been Working Together Since 1996. Steve Is American Dean Is Canadian. We Only Lived In The Same Town Together For About A Year In 2001 In Toronto. However We Congregate At Least Once A Year To Write Music And The Process Is Really The Heart Of What We Do. Typically We Start Out By Going To Local Record Shops Preferably Ones That Have $1.00 Bins And Look For The Most Ridiculous Albums We Can Find E.G. "Let's Have A Pizza Party!" By The Gaylords . Afterwards We Take Them Back To The "studio" Listen To Them Drink A Little Too Much And Sample Them. It's A Common Misconception That "sample Artists" Will Lift Entire Riffs Or Melodies. We Tend To Sample Single Tones Chords One-Hits Drum Fills And Other Things That We Can Then Use To Construct Our Own Melodies And Rhythms With. But It's The Process Of Listening To The Music On Record Which Most Of The Time Is Terrible That Influences And In Fact Enables Our Compositions. After Listening To These Records We Usually Throw Them As Hard As We Can Into The Wall Or Floor Mostly Because The Music Is So Bad That We Can't Stand To Hear It Any More "the Record Should Never Be Allowed To Disgrace The Air Of Reality Ever Again." After A Typical Writing Session We'll Have Literally Dozens Of Records Strewn About On The Floor Some Of Them Stuck In The Walls Hidden In The Fridge Or Boiled Into Amorphous Blobs On The Stove. read less
