Music is often perceived as an act of pure creation. However, for our new collaborative EP CrIspP, my partner Aymantium and I wanted to explore the primal beauty of decay. The central concept underlying the entire release is dark, surreal, and provocative: the decaying body of Jimi Hendrix. It serves as a metaphor for the disintegration of traditional guitar-driven rock music, left to decompose and mutate into a chaotic electronic ecosystem. To bring this vision to life, I took Aymantium’s original tracks and completely turned them on their heads. I pulled apart the seams of his arrangements until his guitar work literally turned to dust, assembling these sonic particles into something utterly alien, fluid, and heavy.
Major Moment is a fairly new band, but already has plenty of stories to be told. Uniting members born on four different continents, and speaking different languages, in Boston, MA in early 2017, coming from different backgrounds, the band is disrupting the steadily declining rock music scene with their heavy guitar riffs, emotional lyrics, melodic vocals, and multi-layered synth pads.
