In the second part of our discussion with Nate Wooley (check out part one here<\/a>), we cover the importance of silence, lessons learned from Ron Miles and Anthony Braxton, drone music, and the demystification of experimental music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PostGenre: The special guests – Trevor Dunn and Mat Maneri – add to the album, but some of the most powerful moments on Ancient Songs of Burlap Heroes <\/em>is when the group is paired down, particularly in the final interlude. How did that track come together?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nate Wooley: Whenever my wife and I are in Maine, we go to a beach named Jasper Rock Beach. We love to sit on the beach for hours and listen to the waves go out between the rocks. It makes such an incredible sound, and I knew that I wanted recordings of those sounds, more for my wife and me to listen to than to release as part of a record. But as I was finishing Ancient Songs, <\/em>I listened to the music and kept visualizing the sea and how the sound of the waves through the rocks would be a great way for the album to disintegrate into nothing. The track goes on a bit longer than I think anyone would find comforting. I think anyone else would have ended it two or three minutes earlier. But the extended length gives the feeling of slow and continuous disintegration. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n
