Board to Death Ep. 13 - Jim Jarmusch & Carter Logan (SQÜRL) | EarthQuaker Devices
"I'm no shredder, and I wouldn't want to be," says Jim Jarmusch.
In SQÜRL's music, the twisted scraping of industrial wreckage (to my ears the byproduct Jarmusch's northeast Ohio upbringing) gives way to an uneasy drone seemingly stuck in time like crestfallen Lake Erie tides fighting a losing battle against subzero temperatures before resolving at last into saturated but sparkling reverberated arpeggios. It's what The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly might have sounded like if Ennio Morricone booked studio time with Steve Albini and hired Sunn O))) as session musicians. Learn more: goo.gl/WegiZD

Jarmusch is a humble master of many things. What a mind. 💚
SQÜRL's soundtrack to his movie, Only Lover's Left Alive is absolutely incredible. Very cool to hear him talk about his gear, thanks!

Totally! When Akron's non-profit arthouse theater The Nightlight opened a few years ago, they chose "Only Lovers Left Alive" as their first feature. It was super cool to finally see Jim's movies on the big screen in his (and our) hometown!

That's great! I didn't know he was Ohio native. The way the soundtrack "Only Lovers Left Alive" not only sounds incredible but it adds so much depth to the story. I love the idea of a composer living for hundreds of years, now making modern music with fuzz pedals!
It's what The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly might have sounded like if Ennio Morricone booked studio time with Steve Albini and hired Sunn O))) as session musicians. Perfect description. Love it. Love Jim's movies(Dead Man!!!) and SQURL is right up there with any drone/doom band around. What an amazing talent.

Jim is a legend. I’m not surprised he’s into EarthQuaker. He came up with all of the best of the 70-80s underground rock’n’rollers.

Me too! Sometimes I'm convinced Roberto Benigni's vignette in "Night On Earth" is the funniest thing I've ever seen on film.
I think it’s cool how you guys don’t shun when the Artists show pedals that aren’t EQD! With that said, EQD, makes some of my favorite pedals!!

They were great! The Man Ray set is one of the most unique musical experiences I've had in a long time.
I saw their Man Ray show last night in Ann Arbor, which was mesmerizing. Catch it if you can.

He made music for Only Lovers Left Alive and also with Jozef van Wissem!
It's interesting how Jarmusch described putting sound "under" the images. I've always sort of thought about it the other way around, that the music is layered on top of the image.

In film editing, both in the old flatbed days and now also in digital editors, standard practice is to have the music usually reside in the bottom track of the audio master mix. Your point about the different mindset is still valid, but his use of that word may just be an artifact of of his filmmaking experience.
Woe! Jarmusch making soundtracks to Man Ray!!!
So creative and simple, thanx EQD.

EarthQuakerDevices my pleasure... Meshes of the Afternoon by Maya Deren who was a very interesting surrealist filmmaker in the 30s /40s would blend beautifully with similar sound composition her other films are also fascinating... she was a performer too and is in most of her films
We all love to see it. Your friends, our fiends, their pedals, sounds, your pedals... sounds. Our pedals, - ... our sounds. Avalanche run id probably the best delay nd reverb on the market if you ask me, especially when you take into account exp. control.
Ahh Jim.
Tasty great stuff !

I’d love to watch man ray with this backing - are any of the performances available?
lord where can I start a band like this
Is there a live performance of these scores to watch somewhere?
Loved watching this! One of my favorite filmmakers. Sorry for a nerdy pedal question: Is that a Boss CS-3 in the 2nd row on the right of Jim's board? Thanks!

I think it is a Pitchshifter- Delay, next to a EHX Pitchfactor , an octaver-harmonizer too.

I found 2 photos of his board on the band’s Instagram, and I’m leaning towards CS-3. If you skip to 12:30 in this video, you’ll also notice the far right knob label is consistent with where SUSTAIN would be on a CS-3. All the PS pedals have multiple things printed there. I doubt this is a PS-3 because there don’t appear to be multiple outputs. There’s a chance it’s a PS-2, but the word MODE would appear on the far right a little higher up. Correct me if I’m wrong! This is just a guess.
Supa Puss is so underrated

why does iggy call barre chords cheater chords?
@EarthQuakerDevices
6 жыл бұрын
If I had to guess, it's because with a barre chord, you can learn one shape and move it all over the neck. And because Iggy Pop is always right.
What genre of music he is playing? Please help me find some more this type of music or song.
