The best part of this interview was cut off... 😆 Running on dopamine as he did, he might have gotten lost in an online video-game and never emerged long enough again to do any new recording. - Perhaps video-game soundtracks. Probably we'd watch his actual playthroughs right now.
@@LukeCantPlayBass For sure, as talented an artist as he was he could also be a bit of an asshole, he divided royalties up for the band towards the end of his life, I like to think it was his smack habit that had an affect on his persona towards the end, still such a terrible loss to this day.
I'm surprised he's familiar with The Shamen, musicians that I'm a fan of from back in my teen years. They are most well known for their pop-techno tracks, but they did some cool experimental B-side stuff which is the direction they wanted to go in, but their label, One Little Indian, insisted on more mainstream albums. The Shamen call them "One Little Idiot". I should google them and see if they're still active.
I could see the hand/body tracking stuff being useful for performance or inputting parameters over time but yeah i don't think anyone's made a particularly useful interface for any sort of productivity for VR. It's really just kinda difficult to do any amount of work for any amount of time without running in to wearing a headset being uncomfortable.
maybe im pretentious, but I feel like, apart from VR and cool games, Kurt would have really hated how technology has changed society. I feel like he would be the first person to be sick of social media and all that jazz.
The clip is trimmed, but I'm imaging there part of a "mind machine" type thing, usually some sort of combination of a noise machine and flashing lights inside the glasses.
im pretty sure he wouldn't have done what he did in '94 if we gave him a trip to today so he could see the modern technologies, homes, cars, medicine and his favorite music genre, pop music. its hard to believe it but its very true kurt would have loved taylor swift.
iirc Krist sarcastically said they were gonna do a hip hop album but we've heard Kurts guitar over Kid Cudi and Kanye so who knows, I feel like if they stuck to Grunge they would've tried something like what Soul Glo did on Diaspora Problems.
He constantly name dropped a lot of great music with less recognition, he said he loved underground music. And honestly even though he was in the music industry, all the artists and music he listened and found out prior to the internet being an established concept as it is today I think is quite impressive
