A short insturmental piece from Color By Numbers. Edgy and quirky, filled with beautiful chunks of white noise and static but still emotional and utterly human. This is brain music.
From Archive.org:
“The new album by ‘color by numbers’ (Jason Corder) aptly titled “The Transitions”, represents an epochal evolution in the life of author Jason Corder from isolational observations translated through sound to beautiful, techni-colored daydreamings mingled with childlike curiosities.
Through the two year long production span of “The Transitions”, Jason underwent a shifting period in his music and life. Through this phase he embraced his roots, solidified a musical philosophy, and began collaborating closely with a community of artists and musicians. So the album is themed around his personal transition into a new paradigm of production coupled with his move out to the California coast.
The inspiration in transition truly stands out by the naked use of instruments such as bells, violins, a melodica, a Wurlitzer baby grand, a dulcima, an Ethiopian tamtam, and even a homemade percussion set - “I set up a pots-and-pans drum kit in my kitchen one time - hanging all the utensils from strings. It was like being a crazy kid again … I guess that’s the point anyway.” Crediting ‘Jason Corder & Friends’ as being the authors of the songs displays the new non-isolate production environ behind “The Transitions” - “For many of the songs I would sit down with my guitar and start noodling out a melody into the mic. Then I would get other musicians to come over to my studio and jam along with me. I would record the whole session and later go back to edit away. On other songs, my friends and I would sit around and talk about all the ideas we wanted to put into a track. Though I think I prefer the more chaotic method of just sitting down and feeling out a sketch from thin air”.”
