Melburnians are in for a treat
"An epic listen, its 15 tracks spanning well over an hour of listening pleasure and tension."
Pilerats chat with Alex Burnett about songwriting for artists like Motez and Digitalism ahead of his panel at EMC this week.. Hey man how’s it going, are you still in London at the moment? I just got back to Sydney this morning. Feeling pretty wack. I’ve been in London. A lot of the work I do is out of London but I do lots of work with Australian artists. So this trip is a to say hi to the family and work with some people who I started doing things with at the beginning of the year. Cool! So for people reading this who don’t know, you’ve worked with people like Motez, Digitalism, Elizabeth Rose and Flight Facilities, when did you shift from Sparkadia to working with producers? Before I had a guitar on, and did a lot of indie-pop and rock stuff, but I think around 2010 I got drafted in to write some stuff for Digitalism. I found it fun and easy. It’s about hooks all the time and tension release. Whereas the music I had done was more about leading into the chorus and adding more guitar
"The core Digitalism sound is something very timeless. It’s just a question of instrumentation and gear that you use to produce it. We could play Pogo on a guitar and people would know what song it is."
The duo have added some other gigs to their Fat As Butter appearance
"Enthralling the sold-out crowd with their distorted basslines and minimalistic electro keeping the crowd constantly moving and jumping to their entire set, an absolute climax at the end of their set achieved when they brought to life Pogo."
