The inner part of the garage of Jeff Bridges, in Santa Barbara, California, has ease in the high bedroom: tiger print rug, tuft wheel, guitar, rogue teeth brush, recorded prints of ideas that he finds provocative or perhaps (“infiltration is a communication experience”), and a misleading of books, from rich books, from books. “Confusion“L”Who cares?! The unique teaching of Ramish S. With cicard“A black and white image of the captain, wears a jacket and a tie on the wall near the electric piano.
Earlier this month, Bridges “Slow Magic, 1977-1978”, a series of songs he recorded when he was in his late twenties, a young cinematic star, participated in a jam session on Wednesday night with a cutest of musicians and strange balls from the western side, while they are in the western stage, while they are in the centers, and a correspondent, in the centers, in the shrines, in the size ,, In the maqamat,, in Al -Maqasim, in the Maqamat, in the articles,, in the articles, in the articles, registration studio where the Fleetwood Mac was almost “Tusk”). “Slow magic” is great and also. In “Kong”, Bridges tells a story that he photographed for a possible “King Kong” supplement (in 1976, Bridges has long starred Jack Prescott in a new edition “Kong” produced by Dino De Laurentiis); The track is characterized by moving narration from the actor Burgess Meredith, and his words focus on revelation that Kong is actually a robot. “It is a sad story, but it was just a monkey machine!” Bridges cry in FalSetto Tottering. (The idea was rejected. Sometimes one also senses the scenes effect.
What I like most about the record is how socially: friends in a room, being stupid, intermittently (even unintentionally) doing something miracle. “When I continued to record technology to improve, I said,” Oh, I don’t need anyone! I can do all this myself. ”Bridges told me, lying on a chair in the garden.” This was a kind of trap, because even just reading the instructions took me out of the creative thing. I did some things in this way, it was fun, but he removed me from playing with live musicians. “
Bridges are undesirable, generous, envy. We saw YouTube, we ate a salad next to the pool, and we talked for several hours about art and love, and the funny ways in which they sometimes interfere. “Slow Magic” is available on Vinyl for the first time this week, for the day of the registration store, via Light Records. This conversation has been intensified and edited.
When Matt Sullivan, the owner of the light in the attic, sent the album for the first time, it was called “surreal”. I remember thinking, I heard some records outside its scope. You are very conceited about its potential strangeness! Then I put it on it, and I did not hear anything like that before.
It is great to hear! This is what we love – fresh, right? Fifty and fresh years! Two years ago I had cancer, then I took Corona virus diseaseand Corona virus disease Make cancer resemble nothing. Cento was stripped of my immune system. You are right at the door, do you know? People did not know if I was going to do it. And I thought, Hey, see, Jeff, you are twenty -third. Do you have juice to enter and polish all these melodies that you have? Why not only put? There is a lot of content now, or anything they call – in some sense, it is good, because everything becomes less precious. So I thought, Well, this kind of sharing is everything. This version is the same as a jam on Wednesday night.
In the past, she released music that feels more traditional, or at least more related to the type. But you also did some things that fall somewhere between the productive Americana, for example, “Be here soon“Album I made with Michael McDonald, David Crosby, and The Wild Wildselia of” Slo Magic “. I am thinking about”Emerging behavior“Series, on your website, where you can associate these somewhat raw sound songs with some triple images.
The phrase “emerging behavior” caught my attention when I made this movie.Living in the past of the future“About our environment and global warming. It is not a lot of fingers that refer to the bad guys. What we wanted to do is to address the question: Why do we behave in this way, when we know what is happening?
Well, this is a kind of great human question: Why do we do things we know bad?
It’s interesting, do you know? Emerging behavior is the principle of super living organisms. the Bird puffFor example. You see the shape, how they all go this. [Bridges swoops his hand to one side.] Now why are they making Which – which Figure and not another shape? So, there are human beings of humanity – we are all on this planet, and we do not do that, we do that. Why? One aspect of the emerging behavior is that if you take one of the small organisms that make up the super living organisms, it will tell you nothing About superior organisms. Nothing will tell you about the reason. So there is something, we are not familiar with it. This gives me a feeling of hope. These puzzles occur. You may face this as a writer, where you do You Instead of doing He – she. This is the beautiful place, right?
But what is this? Is this. . . machine?
certainly. The god who cannot be eliminated. You put a name on it and become the golden calf, do you know? It is not any of your concepts – it’s something outside. When creativity decreases, you acknowledge this, and try to get out of your own way. You have to let the ego just sit on the bench, and only hear what it wants to do through you. A man, we are talking about getting out of the road – another person responsible for “slow magic” is this man, Keifus Concia. I met Kefus with T Bone Burnett. Be a player Album I did with T bone. We have become fast friends. It is interesting, in life – you have all these opportunities that you have offered, either you take it or do not. It’s interesting, right?
It is actually the only interesting thing.
I am thinking about the song Leonard Cohen. Are you a fan of Leonard Cohen?
naturally.
Do you know the song?Waiting for the miracle“Isn’t this a great song? Like, we are waiting for this silver bullet when the miracle is herechild! It is here! So this new album, this fifty -year -old album, is about to go out, is the same kind of things. It seems that all of life once invites me to do something, and I cannot help him. I am attracted to it. In any case, KEEFUS called me shortly after years, and says, “Say, do you want to go to the studio? Just bring some of your songs and see what happens?” So I brought this small cassette from the seventies, and I love it. Without my news, Kevus sent it to the light in the attic, and they wanted to create an album. I said, “What do they want to return this?” “No, no! Just put it.” I said, “You are kidding with me! It is just full of heroos! It is very difficult.”
