¢ JESTER/SANITY
³Comments From the studio musician,
Andreas Stenhager:
¹
Most of the tunes that I've had the
opportunity to hear from this guy were
made to the masses, and I have a hard
time to recognize any sign of musical
talent in this sort of music. I'm not
saying that Jester doesn't have
talent, he probably has lots of it,
but if you're making pop/techno this
way, you don't show it. I can, as
already stated, imagine that this guy
is loved by the masses(am I right?),
but it doesn't give me anything.
The drums in Jester's tunes are almost
never as complex as they have to be if
your aim is to create this kind of
music. Complex doesn't have to mean
lots of notes, but a massive sound
that sounds right! Anyway, after all
I can't complain because many of the
Amigamusicians don't have the real
musical knowhow(although the technical
knowhow often is greater than I could
imagine!), and thus many of them don't
have drums complex enough in their
songs.
Some of Jester's melodies are very
nice, some are not. If he would have
varied the leadinstrument more from
song to song, I think the overall
judgement would have been higher. 'My
glamorous life' is very nice in some
aspects, and this is the song with the
¶most 'real' drums. Maybe because they
consist of sequences.
The bassline is very simple, as they
use to be in pop, and I think Jester
does the right thing not doing it more
varied.
The chords/voices are sometimes bad
looped, but he knows how to handle a
piano(at least it sounds so when he
selects the accords).
The only techno song I have heard from
this guy starts very nice, with a
quiet nice beat, but then he slows
down the tempo very cheap and the
general sound falls down to zero. If
Jester will make more songs, I would
advise him to make either fast
popsongs or even techno, because of
what I have heard, that seems to be
his personal style.
³Diesel's comment:
¹I have a hard time figuring out why
people love Jester's music.
'Jesterday' had one good song, My
glamorous life, but the rest was just
about average! I like the beginning
of the Pygmy Projects song, but not
the middle part with the
woooaaaaoo-lead which belongs to
Lizardking. An average guy, nothing
more!
