We had all kinds of pieces - some went for seven hours, some went for four hours, some went for only 25 minutes. But that's what's so cool about this, the not knowing. We did play for a few hours, not really knowing where it was all headed. You guys played for seven hours straight? Actually, we did have a seven-hour piece that's very compelling." "We had some uncharted pieces of music, long pieces, that we played for hours and hours. Twenty-four hours of music - how did you actually record it? Was it with loops, bits and pieces? If my bones can make somebody feel good, that's cool." Maybe I'd get a lot of joy from somebody buying my old head, my skull, and listening to music that was inside of it. I'd be dead, so I wouldn't know the difference.
"If I had the choice of having my skull buried in the dirt for worms and bugs to crawl around in or having somebody buy it and get some music in it, I'd go for the music. Would you want somebody to put music in your head, er, skull? It's a little bit of a weird thing, I guess, asking for somebody's head so I can put some music inside of it."Ĭoyne definitely thinks outside the bubble. As it turned out, we got more heads than we thought we would. "You just never know how many heads will be available to you. Originally, it was only going to be five. And it takes a while to get the hard drives into the heads once you get them." We would do more of them, but you just can't get a lot of real people's heads." And they're real skulls, too, from real people's heads. They haven't been distributed yet, but they will be soon. The only way we're selling the song is with the human skulls." I think it'll go on for a year or so - whenever you want to hear some of it, you can. We'll be streaming it live ourselves starting Halloween at midnight. In addition to encasing the music on a flash drive in the human skulls, it'll being streamed live. We can't do that.' I think the longest piece of music they have is 90 minutes." We talked to the people at iTunes about carrying a 24-hour song and they were like, 'No! You're insane. There's nothing right now that can carry something more than 24 hours.
"When we were doing the six-hour song, we said, 'OK, so now we'll do a 24-hour song.' At one point we thought about a song that could last for a whole month! It's insane, but that's fine - a form of insanity is all right if it means not holding back on the art. That doesn't always mean that what you do will be successful - or even interesting - but the important thing is to explore and see where an idea takes you. If you want to do something that's different, you should be able to see it through. "Yeah, right! It's pretty cool, isn't it? The great thing is, whether conventional or not, there should be no restrictions on where your ideas can go.
