In a recent podcast The Tuss confessed he learned all about song structure from Coursera and from watching free Point Blank tutorials on youtube every time he needed guidance. Then, using the pomodoro technique, he slowly built this album mostly inspired by the interaction with common objects in his small apartment in Paris. He gladly accepts festival invitations and loves to travel whenever he gets the chance because that puts him in contact with beautiful people. He feels blessed.

[@intelligenceservices]

Can't compare many contemporary popular musicians to JS Bach, but in spite of the times and the trends, RDJ stands out. We can't know in our lifetimes who else might be ignored now and discovered after the next 300 years, but RDJ has a good chance of being well remembered by then. I don't think the same can be said for much of the popular music business. I don't think it's possible to over-rate him, the worst that could happen is the over-rater would fall short.

In the mid section a vocal is used with the exact same effects the whole of Rushup's Edge vocals have. and what's on the cover of Rushup's Edge? A sheep.
