Postmodern latte pls
>On Human Story 3, James Ferraro paints a hyperrealistic portrait of modern consumerist society and the adoration for the post-digital age. Labeled as his very own “classical” record, this is a masterful suite that bluntly yet powerfully displays capitalism, market crashes, digital mediums, and various businesses that appeal to the average millennial consumer and middle-aged merchant. Ferraro’s latest is not so much a Music For iPads and Starbucks, Vol. 1 as it is a potent mirror to our current lifestyle; its brilliantly haunting MIDI choir and string arrangements serve as the backdrop and simultaneous forefront to a text-to-speech narrator that works as a crucial element to Human Story 3′s main conceptual drive and aesthetics. Like a robotic secretary on the Virtual Cloud™ above a modern, dreamy CGI Mario landscape, we are presented with the “individualism” and “commercial simulacra” of IKEA, Starbucks, market crashes, touchscreen GPS variations, GoPros, Microsoft, freeways, yoga, lattes, burning Priuses, the contemporary plasticity of the “real” world, global markets, our own reflective digital products, smartphones, etc. With each one-punch reminder of Human Story 3′s surreal yet fitting take on state-of-the-art merchandising and worldwide retails, Ferraro peels back more and more layers of the album’s often satiric but undeniably artistically moving and important exhibition of the post-internet sphere’s postmodernist appeal.
what did he mean by this?

fuckin pseuds god damn. And I liked the album too.
idk, it's really good but i think maybe he relied a little too much on the tts this go around.

Why can't they just let the music speak for itself. Fuck
Just started it. I've never listened to Ferraro before. It's like Zappa meets R+7.

Because it's good and half of /mu/ has shitty taste.
>>65718117
he always puts these ramblings on his albums

that's taken from a review though, not from a description james made.

My reading comprehension is going to shit
I gotta up my meds sometimes
It's okay i think talking about the concept atm is more interesting than the music itself. At times I can easily tune it out to background music. atleast FSV had my attention all the way thru with it's eery noise.
