Great post. I'm feeling inspired by it! It's always so interesting to hear people's journey, it adds such a richness to the work. (I've always loved commentary albums for that reason)
And what a great line: “craft is responsible for everything beautiful in the world.”
The breakdown of the inverted pedal point and the numerology is so cool. Thanks for getting me hooked on Cole. I'm a few episodes into the season on Because the Internet, and his dissection
"craft is responsible for everything beautiful in the world." <-- this feels like the perfect distillation of everything I've been trying to circle around since starting WOP. Thanks for highlighting this.
I hope we're both making beautiful things in the world for years to come.
Nice piece, Camilo. As always, very evocative and thought-provoking. I don’t know Cole, and after reading you I sure will check him out. Interesting perspective that of dissecting music to get to a deeper understanding of its meaning and messages. And I love KL, I think we talked about this already. I think he’s one of the very few geniuses of today’s music. But I also think he would have been regarded as a genius even in a different music era, where competition (so to speak) was much higher and fiercer than today. He’s got the literary posture of a Dylan, the musical originality of a Zappa, and the storytelling capacity of a Prince. Great writing, amico mio. :)

Excited to be following your journey in this!

deepens my love for the album.
And nice bars at the end :-)
Great post. I admire people who can nerd out to such a level and make work out of passion.
