Fantasy on a Melody by the Dirty Projectors - "Offspring Are Blank"

from Fantasies For Piano by Michael R. Oldham

/

about

The Dirty Projectors are one of my all time favorite bands. Compositionally, they experiment and push the boundaries (if there are any) of indie rock music. They are unafraid, raw, and fucking mental. I am constantly inspired by their textures, meters, timbres, and sheer genius. "Offspring Are Blank" has a very modal, distinctive melody. They combine that melody with hip-hop-esque grooves and noisy guitars. With those in mind, I wanted to convey the rhythmic syncopations and raucous guitars in my fantasy with lots of low-end playing, "harmonic-minory" riffs, and lots of slamming down on the keyboard.
