Name of band:
Delta Will.
Where
are you from?
Outer space.
Who is in your band?
Charles Tilden's body and Lowell Whitty on drums.
How
would you describe yourselves?
A
space exploration mission and an homage to traditions of folk, blues and
alt-pop.
Who
are your main influences musically?
LEADBELLY, SON HOUSE, JELLY ROLL MORTON, O.V. WRIGHT, RAY CHARLES, NINA
SIMONE, BEATLES, DYLAN, VAN MORRISON, BOWIE, TALKING HEADS, RADIOHEAD, BJORK,
THE AVALANCHES, M. WARD, SUFJAN STEVENS, WILCO, BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE,
ETC.....
What
do you hope to achieve in music?
Delta Will hopes to translate his experiences on Earth into experiments
in sound, with words. Delta Will hopes to get a little better at this with each
try.
What
has been the highlight of your career so far, and why?
Writing and recording this new EP has been the most fulfilling musical
endeavour thus far. I felt as though I had now learned enough about humans and
their musical traditions to make a record as an honourary human, rather than as
an alien pretending to be human.
And
what’s the moment you want to forget?
All moments of life on my own planet.
If
you had to pick just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it
be and why?
I think "Game Change Parade" (from the first EP) is a good
introduction. It's a song about starting over from scratch. Musically, the
layers build in a manner that sheds light on Delta Will's approach to loop
performance.
Where
can we listen to it?
Where
can we find out more about your music?
