Is his music emblematic of the 2010s?
I can't think of any other artist who has so perfectly captured the essence of the culture of modern Western civilization in musical form. I guess what I'm asking is: is he the voice of our generation?
>starbucks
yeah he's really got his finger on the pulse
can he try to get a bigger fan base? like make an attempt to subtley sell out or something, it's just getting sad
Yes and no. Yes because like you said he perfectly captures this moment in time. No because culture is too microcosmical now for any generation to have a single voice.
>>65677119
he should go full post-irony and sell his music to commercials
I cant wait to see what he critiques next. 7-11?
What is some *essential* ferraro I really don't get the hype from what I've heard
>>65677139
implying anyone would pay for this meandering horseshit
>>65677148
Far Side Virtual
Night Dolls with Hairspray
Condo Pets
KFC City
iAsia
Live at Primavera Sound 2012
>>65677174
iAsia is fucking dope
good choice
>>65677174
needs NYC, HELL 3:00AM
>>65677070
yeah nothing but shitty incoherent albums. just like this generation
>>65677174
i wouldn't listen to this guy seeing as ferraro's latest works are some of his weakest yet. i won't deny that they're at times conceptually masterful, but they're completely brought down by extremely weak execution. you'd be better off sticking to someone like dean blunt/babyfather who (imo) is a better candidate for the voice of our generation.
if you're getting into ferraro, stick to his lo-fi era which is definitely his prime as an artist. especially check out albums like Clear, Marble Surf, Last American Hero, and On Air to really see how he's influenced what was to come this decade.

I can see not liking his recent r&b stuff but human story 3 is absolutely sublime. easily surpassed fsv in my mind
>>65677462
>human story 3 is absolutely sublime
>lofty and grandiose
I hated it but I won't disagree with this.
>>65677070

Are you legitimately retarded?

>nu-male
lmao you couldn't be more wrong
>>65677519
he's a nu-nigger
>>65677541
nu-whatever isn't a new word for "left from center", autismo
literally who
>>65677570
he's a faggot who hasn't released anything good since Live at Primavera Sound 2012
>>65677594
which makes him a nu-male, solid logic bro
>>65677541
>nigger
>mixed
>acts whiter even than will toledo
>>65677594
he literally just dropped AOTY

this fucking post
>>65677702
you know you're gonna have to have at least a ten deep classical list to make this claim right?
>>65677715
(not true by the way)
>>65677732
uh yeah it literally is
>>65677741
(not true by the way)
>>65677715
i listened to all 100 CDs of Deutsche Grammophon's The History of Classical Music. does that makes my claim legit?
>>65677070
99% of our generation has no idea who this person is. The voice of our generation is Kim Kardashian. You are from a shit generation. Accept it.
>>65677702
Is there actually anything impressive about it sonically this go around or
>>65677767
people lately misusue "voice of our generation" to mean who most accurately somes up the state of our lives and who is most in tap with our collective psyche. maybe that is kim kardashian by those standards still but personally i'd relate more to James.
>>65677594
im confused is Live at Primavera the title or was that his set at that festival?
>>65677840
so he's not the voice of our generation then. he's just your role model faggot
YEAH
S I M C I T Y
>>65677808
it's more the concept and totally trippy vocal cuts.
All the songs are worth listening.
>>65677070
I don't get it
>>65677852
That was his set at the festival.
The first part of his set was released as 'Earth Jump' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsRPF4LhgPA
Does anyone have any information on the clicking sound on Live at Primavera 2012? Someone likened it to Chinese water torture, but I'm not sure whether the clicks actually mean something.
>>65677070
nah, but someone should compare him to arca, opn, and james blunt.
>>65679039
This reminds me a lot of Sushi.

>it's more the concept
Yeah, no thanks.
>>65678543
I don't either.
Is this thread satire? Bait? Are the posters ITT over the age of 18?
>>65680302
This is my major issue with Ferraro's stuff. His concepts are often interesting and bizarre, but the music that accompanies it is usually hard to listen to.
>perfectly captured the essence of the culture of modern Western civilization in musical form
Yeah, by listing a bunch of common 21st century words.
>GPS, LATTE, TECHNOLOGY, INTERNET
>WOW WHAT A VISIONARY
You guys treat this guy like a virtuoso simply because he can make Sims music while layering technology and pop culture references over it.
I liked FSV but HS3 is just a watered-down repeat.

Here are some other links to Ferraro releases, many dead ones though. There was another mega archive but it has been taken down.
The archive that was linked before mostly contains unreleased stuff.

You can't be serious nigga
He's so terribly mediocre. All his albums are bandcamp-tier and unlistenable, like I can't listen to any of his albums because they're so lame.
