It was : :' a passion he carried forth his entire life, playing quite ': ,: adeptly when a piano was handy: improvised turns on Bach, :, : Handel, gospel, country, and popular selections from the Great : :' American Songbook for friends and family. Though his travels ': ,: found him rubbing elbows with Andy Warhol's Factory superstars :, : in New York, where he lived for several years with Viva at the : :' Chelsea Hotel, and observing a music scene in Memphis that ': ,: included Big Star's Alex Chilton, and his old friend and owner :, : of Ardent Studios, engineer Jon Fry, his own music went largely : :' unheard by the general public. ': ,: :, : In the 1980's, Eggleston, who disdained digital cameras and : :' modernity in general, became surprisingly fascinated with a ': ,: synthesizer, the Korg O1/W FD, which had 88 piano-like keys, and :, : in addition to being able to emulate the sound of any : :' instrument, also contained a four-track sequencer that allowed ': ,: him to expand the palette of his music, letting him create :, : improvised symphonic pieces, stored on 49 floppy discs, : :' encompassing some 60 hours of music from which this 13 track ': ,: recording was assembled. :, : : :' The music, which he refers to as "Musik", adopting the German ': ,: spelling of his hero, JS Bach, is highly emotional, whether he's :, : improvising a Bach-like organ fanfare out of whole cloth, using : :' a Korg patch titled "guitar feedback" to create a dirge, or ': ,: playing Lerner and Lowe's "On The Street Where You Live" as a :, : dramatic overture. : :' ': ,: Eggleston lives today in a small apartment off Memphis' Overton :, : Park that he shares with a 9-foot Bosendorfer grand piano and an : :' arsenal of ultra-high fidelity audio equipment, some of which ': ,: was designed by his son, William Eggleston III. The synthesizer, :, : alas, is broken and stubbornly refuses to be repaired, so for : :' the purpose of this project another was purchased in order to ': ,: be able to play back the floppy discs, which, along with a :, : handful of DATs and other digital media, though frail, were : :' digitized and mastered for this and future releases. ': ,: :, : Mr. Eggleston often says that he feels that music is his first : :' calling, as much a part of him, at least, as his photography. ': ,: We take special pride in allowing the world to hear this side of :, : a great artist who may now be rightly called a great musician. : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / 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 \/
