They are handmade by Newtone, whom I believe make the most wonderful strings on the planet.

0 }$ x( T. z! j+ ?; O4 AJON:That song is very simple, the melody is based around a simple major pentatonic scale and the chords are 10th intervals (like a 3rd, but separated by an octave) which is the sweetest sound in all music! The tuning effects help lend a country feel, it's kinda like a pedal steel sound.

Wait In Vain是Bob Marley写的,所以我不是太清楚曲子背后的故事!大概是关于一段无私的爱的吧。相比于最初始的版本,我用了一种更热烈,更外在的方式来演绎这首曲子。Butterfly Hurricane则是表现寂寞和孤立的一种心情,那种被世界遗弃的感觉。是一首存在主义者的颂歌!(译者:太虚幻了。。)

N' N2 w7 P" t1 \3 I1 k1 T8 PJON:Sometimes I have a sound in mind which I want to make. You can hear this in songs like Afterglow (which will be on Curses and Blessings, but is on Youtube) - I wanted to write something with a jazz influence in some aspects, but with the feel of the song Glorybox by Portishead. Sometimes I just sit with my guitar, or just a piece of papaer and a pen, and start with a simple thought or feeling, and just let it go where it will go. Butterfly Hurricane is more like that. The lyrics will be more surreal, and the music often more typical to me rather than jazz/rock/blues or whatever. It will have no style!
8 i5 s- L0 B* `& |1 Z6 M有的时候我的脑子里会产生一些我需要的声响。比如Afterglow这样的曲子里就有(会在新专辑里听到,不过现在就可以在Youtube上找到它了)--当时我想写一些有爵士感觉的东西,但后来就被Portishead乐队的曲子Glorybox中的那种感觉给带过去了。有些时候只是抱着吉他坐着,或者只是拿着笔和纸,写一些简单的东西,表现一些想法和感觉。Butterfly Hurricane就是这样的感觉,歌词听上去四六不着调,但是对于我来说,却比jazz/rock/blues或别的什么音乐风格更有感觉。没有风格就是我的风格!
