A member of the last generation to : :' experience life before total interconnectedness, Anthony ': ,: Ferraro (digitally known as Tony Peppers) aims to be a bridge :, : between two very different realities. : :' ': ,: The spirit of change is especially pronounced in CaliforniaÆs :, : bay area, where technologies dawn and disruption is the noblest : :' goal. Critics and advocates of all stripes write columns and ': ,: fill talk radio hours with their analyses of the times. Ferraro :, : is a funny case: a sometimes Luddite with a romantic streak, he : :' would probably be a doomsayer if it werenÆt for his being ': ,: situated in the middle of it all. As it happens, he ended up :, : writing a generative music algorithm that sold on auction at the : :' Smithsonian for $5,000. ': ,: :, : His take on tomorrow is nonjudgmental, meditative, imaginative. : :' It keeps away from unqualified hope or outright alarmism, ': ,: choosing instead to embrace the indeterminacy as food for :, : dreaming. : :' ': ,: FerraroÆs friendship with Chaz Bear, who co-produced the album, :, : began modestly enough: Bear walked into the coffee shop where : :' Ferraro worked while attending UC Berkeley. The two became ': ,: friends, and when Ferraro graduated the following summer, he :, : signed on as touring keyboardist for Toro y Moi. Musical bonds : :' were forged over the next few years, and the pair began ': ,: collaborating on what would become Living In Symbol. :, : : :' Sonically, the album weaves its influences into an alien ': ,: drapery. ôThe Borderö introduces Latin psychedelia to a groove α :, : la David Axelrod, setting the stage for a vocal performance that : :' manages to be equal parts Lee Hazlewood and HAL 9000. On ôThe ': ,: Roomö, a Borgesian story gets dressed up in an eerily graceful :, : string arrangement reminiscent of Les Baxter. And ôWho I Talk : :' Toö nods to George Harrison in a soft rocking arrangement that ': ,: supports FerraroÆs ghostly croon. :, : : :' Living In Symbol is a series of rooms, a ': ,: choose-your-own-tomorrow story. Step in and peer through its :, : open doors. : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 1 8 \/
