The last question ended up turning into the best question because of his answer. Thats the best advice anybody can give. Trust your taste. Its so easy to try and make music based on what you think others might like. If you do it based on what you like you're developing your own sound by your taste for music. Imagine being a cook and trying to cook meals that you dont like but you think others would like. You have to taste test the meal while cooking to make sure its good and the same with music. Creating the opposite way would be like a vegan at the grill of a bbq trying to cook up all the meat for everybody.

I have to agree with you totally....

[@u_mrmcmisdemeanor]

What beautiful chord progressions... legend.

[@MrJvandal]

Love this guy. So humble and down to Earth.

[@ericdecree6882]

Man... this brother right here. Brian can blow. Check out the Albums with Gil. These were my dudes. Used to go to sleep listening to their albums back in the mid 70's Loved their music... very conscious lyrics... "New York's like Johannesburg, Detroit's like Johannesburg, Philadelphia's like Johannesburg... Can I See Your I.D.... Can I see Your I.D." " A toast to David Walker(Google him)... A toast to Martin King... A toast to all Black leaders, who dreamed a golden dream"

dude recorded with gil scott heron in his prime and still looks 40, damn

[@justin__blk4878]

I know hes got to be early 70's, lol

[@Westlake72]

66 according to wikipedia - remember he and Gil started well young but yer he does look and sound great.

[@lucianonotarfrancesco4443]

Yeah, and 20 years ago Gil Scott-Heron looked much older than Brian Jackson now, but they are almost the same age

i've finally completed my (albeit) simple dream rig. Korg SV-1 on the bottom rack with a minimoog model d on the top. along with a couple of nice delays and moogerfoogers.

[@MusicMatic707]

What delays do you have?

[@mystupidtheories6554]

Slick I run a similar feel but don’t have such a nice synth running. I do the sv1 on the bottom and an ultra nova top left for bass and vocoder and a Roland Gaia for poly and pads

[@officialkinxg693]

brian jackson , lovely.

[@maticherzog]

Super fun and amazing watch:)

[@eleanorzissou]

I love this. Any time.

[@cacheteinflado1]

the best way for me is to compose is when you suddenly hear a melody that appears on ypur mind and you develop it, the other way is an improvising composing but not the real thing

[@tendaimutepfa7335]

but the best ideas and song always better the other way

It's called Nomad, by Brian Jackson. Don't believe it's out yet, it's a recent piece he wrote but look out for it!

[@rambo3801]

Interviewer was not the right guy for this job.

[@lucianonotarfrancesco4443]

Who's the interviewer? He looks so out of place... is he a DJ or something? "If I haveto make a track but I never touched this instrument (the Rhodes) before, what do I need to know?" WTF? Brian's answer is good: just switch on the delay. Actually it feels a little disrespectful for RB to pair unprepared interviewers like this guy with music legends like Brian Jackson. Same thing (even worse) with the interview to Morton Subotnick, it felt embarrassing even watching it from home

[@dinfluence30]

Maybe he is not hat good in this interview but i saw a lot of Red Bull interviews when he was hosting it. And i can say he was one of the best with his questions and tactics. The Teddy Riley masterclass etc

[@OrionGarcia]

Thats Chairman Mao and he is a legend.

[@RetrovisorAV]

I actually don't enjoy the way he tries to find things out or conduce answers to Brian Jackson, he has another one with him also, and I feel he is a bit pretentious kinda over intellectual and over contemporary in his approach. Gives me a bad taste to hear him I must admit. Also, as well informed as he might be/is, I guess it's not just about that when you talk music, sound, maybe he lacks the capacity to share his passion for music, if he really has it.
