CFCF | Music For Objects EP

CFCF ‘s Music for Objects EP, out today on Paper Bag / Dummy , shows the Montreal native departing from his signature dance-floor oriented sound into the realm of experimental compositions and making strong references to the music of Philip Glass . The common thread stitching Michael Silver’s past works with Music for Objects is the recurring theme of music with repetitive structures. On the topic of the inspiration for the thematic direction of this project, Silver recounts the following:

“The theme ‘Music for Objects’ came to me kind of suddenly as I was watching this documentary by Wim Wenders about the fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto called ‘Notebook on Cities and Clothes’. In particular, there was a piece of music by the film’s composer, Laurent Petitgand, that struck me with how bizarre it was and that it was essentially a song that was trying to convey something inexpressible about his clothing. It inspired me to look at the everyday objects on my desk and all about my apartment and outside on the street and see that there was something kind of inexpressible about them that I wanted to convey through music.”
