IGGOH VOL. 17 (MASSIVE GAP), THURSDAY MARCH TWENTY FOURTH.
YO. IT’S BEEN A MINUTE SINCE THE LAST POST ON HERE, AND I AM SORRY FOR THAT :(. BUT HOPEFULLY I CAN MAKE IT UP TO Y’ALL BY POSTING THE PLAYLIST FROM LAST WEEK’S SHOW, IN WHICH WE PLAYED KEVIN SCUTCHFIELD’S “ERRORHORN” MIX ON THE SHOW, RUNNING ROUGHLY THIRTY MINUTES LONG. IT WAS A GREAT PLEASURE TO BE ABLE TO PLAY THIS MIX ON AIR, AND IT WILL ALWAYS BE A PLEASURE TO USE IGGOH AS A PLACE WHERE ARTISTS CAN SHOWCASE WHAT THEY ARE WORKING ON OR WHAT THEY WANT TO SHARE :).
KEVIN IS A PHENOMENAL SKATEBOARDER, FILMER, AND DOG WALKER BASED OUT OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. HIS FAVORITE COLOR IS PERIWINKLE. WHAT CONTINUES TO FASCINATE ME ABOUT KEVIN’S WORK IN SKATEBOARDING AND IN MUSIC IS THE INTENSE FEELING OF CALM THAT IS EXPRESSED THROUGH HIS FILMING AND EDITING TECHNIQUES, THE CHOICE OF MUSIC, AND EVEN THE SETTING IN WHICH THE TRICKS TAKE PLACE. HIS VIDEO, “JUMP OFF A BILLBOARD” FROM 2015 PROVED TO BE MY FAVORITE SKATE VIDEO OF THE YEAR, ALSO PROVING TO BE ONE OF MY FAVORITE SKATE VIDEOS I HAVE EVER SEEN.
SHORTLY AFTER PUTTING OUT “BABY ANGEL GANG”,(A COLLABORATIVE VIDEO CREATED BY MATT KING, GENE BELANGER, AND KEVIN), HE HAS BEGUN FILMING FOR HIS NEW PROJECT “COOK COUNTY: THIS NORMAL LIFE”. I MAY BE WRONG ABOUT THIS, BUT DURING MY STAY IN CHICAGO A WEEK PRIOR TO IGGOH VOL. 17, EITHER KEVIN OR SOMEONE ELSE HAD TOLD ME THAT THE VIDEO TITLE WAS INFLUENCED BY AN INNER CITY DRIVE-BY SHOOTING THAT KEVIN AND OTHERS HAD WITNESSED, SEVERE ENOUGH FOR THEM TO HIT THE DECK IN HOPES OF NOT GETTING HIT IN THE CROSSFIRE. ALL POTENTIALLY FAULTY INFORMATION ABOUT THE INSPIRATION FOR THE VIDEO ASIDE, IT WILL FEATURE MATT KING, GENE BELANGER, NICK LABARRE, TAYLOR RADELIA, TIM JOHNSON, JESSE WARD, ETHAN BERONJA, AND MORE. KEVIN IS PROVIDING VX FOOTAGE TO THE PROJECT, WHILE TAYLOR IS CONTRIBUTING FOOTAGE TO THE FULL VIDEO OR IN A COMPLIMENTARY EDIT ALL FILMED ON A HI-8 HANDYCAM/DADCAM.
WHAT FIRST SURPRISED ME ABOUT KEVIN’S VIDEOS WAS HIS CHOICE OF USING MANY GREAT SIXTIES AND SEVENTIES ITALIAN COMPOSERS, AS WELL AS OTHER GREAT MOOG INNOVATORS. IT WAS MUSIC THAT I HAD ALWAYS GREATLY ADMIRED AND HESITANTLY USED IN MY OWN VIDEOS AND ON MY RADIO SHOWS, BUT WAS SOMETHING THAT I NEVER THOUGHT COULD TRULY “WORK” WITH SKATING. KEVIN PROVED THIS WRONG. I ASKED WHERE HIS ADMIRATION FOR THIS GENRE OF MUSIC STEMMED FROM, AND HE REPLIED THAT A GREAT SOUNDTRACK BY ENNIO MORRICONE IN IL GRANDE SILENZIO HAD STARTED IT ALL.
THANKS TO KEVIN AND ALL THAT LISTENED TO LAST WEEK’S EDITION OF IGGOH, DESPITE THE TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES THAT HAD HAPPENED!
