Idea: Story about people that have everything except that “one thing.”

What I love about being both a musician and visual artist is that I can alternate between the two and they inform one another. For the Human In The Loop album, I was going for a “metamodern” vibe—a mix of modernism and postmodernism, placing traditional Old Master paintings against what is essentially “modernist” music. I call it modernist because I’m incorporating orchestral elements, scored by me. It’s my “representational painting”. I am not a traditional artist. My art is all postmodern (and minimalist), and is based on ideas. I grew up in the 60s and 70s so it’s in my bones. It’s also postmodernist in the sense that I’m juxtaposing the sacred and profane. I had seen some of this type of work at art shows over the years that pulled no punches, and I liked it. But I’ve had a change of heart over the years and have become somewhat of a Stuckist. I like that I have the necessary skills of a musical stuckist, but it wouldn’t be all I’d ever want to do.

(Tony Townes diary) 

Pretty good review of Strategic Erasure published in Rolling Stone. “Nth makes a concerted effort to bring us back to the deep roots of old-timey pop music of the 1970s. Neone’s personal journey from mortality to immortality, and all the constituent memories, get woven into the songwriting. Women are less likely to erase memories as they seem to become so attached to them. This is what I find so compelling in the work of immortals: they have vastly larger memory banks and more grist for the mill, which ultimately enriches us all in the end. We have so much to learn from trans-mortals. Reset 2046 LLM: “Discuss Neone’s music”
