RECORD CLUB



"Record Club is an informal meeting of various musicians to record an album in a day. The album chosen to be reinterpreted is used as a framework. Nothing is rehearsed or arranged ahead of time. A track is put up here once a week. The songs are rough renditions, often first takes that document what happened over the course of a day as opposed to a polished rendering. There is no intention to 'add to' the original work or attempt to recreate the power of the original recording. Only to play music and document what happens. And those who aren’t familiar with the albums in question will hopefully look for the songs in their definitive versions". Beck
El alma inquieta de Beck Hansen ha querido seguir dando cancha a su hiperactividad, inventándose eso del Record Club. Este último año ha recreado cinco lps de sus favoritos (The Velvet Underground & Nico, Songs Of Leonard Cohen, OAR, Kick y Live At The Acropolis) en compañía de amigos del calibre de Nigel Godrich, Devendra Banhart, MGMT, Jamie Lidell, Feist, Wilco, Liars y Os Mutantes, entre otros. Todo está grabado en audio y vídeo, a la espera de que alguien financie el sacarlo a flote. Y ese alguien va a ser el propio Beck, que ya tiene en mente editar un recopilatorio con los mejores diez temas de estas sesiones. Serán elegidas por sufragio popular, así que sólo tienes que participar votando (http://beckvoting.com/). Imaginación al poder.
