Dead Eddy

This is a track based on something my nephew Ben (8yrs old) sent through. He was trying to capture the feeling of newness and adventure that comes with not knowing much about music. Ben sent through an 8 bar electro piece as an m4a file which was then converted to mp3 so it could be manipulated in Live. Weirdly the combination has the quintessential Dead Eddy sound and therefore Dan and I would like to welcome Ben as a full member of the band. The only thing missing in this piece is some input from Dan, but we really like the random aspects of this tune. As we venture forth into the musical realm, albeit with nervousness, we worry that “not knowing anything about music” is a pure, child-like state from which we come and then enter headlong into conservative regurgitation. Ben, Dan and Ed will together strive to keep the purity of ignorance alive in our music. Learning about music, whilst hanging steadfast to the rock of pure ignorance is the Dead Eddy gamble.
