A Beginner's Mind CD / Album
by Sufjan Stevens & Angelo De Augustine
CD / Album
Description
'A Beginner's Mind' began when the two musicians and Asthmatic Kitty labelmates decamped to a friend's cabin in upstate New York for a monthlong songwriting sabbatical. Watching a movie to unwind after each day's work, they soon found their songs reflecting the films and began investigating this connection in earnest. The resulting album is 14 songs (loosely) based on (mostly) popular films - highbrow, lowbrow and everything in between. They wrote in tandem - one person writing a verse, the other a chorus, churning out chord progressions and lyrics willy-nilly, often finishing each other's sentences in the process. Rigorous editing and rewriting ensued. The results are less a 'cinematic exegesis' and more a 'rambling philosophical inquiry' that allows the songs to free-associate at will.
