MM: Did you discover the piano or lyric writing first?
BB: It was writing first, definitely. I've been writing for a long time, lyrics and poetry mostly.
MM: What was it that brought your playing and words together?
BB: I didn't bring them together until very recently, but I had been songwriting for a while. I actually had a little stint with the Olympics, and I did have a song that almost made it to the Sydney games, and that has been a highlight of my writing career. Anyway, I recorded all of this music that was meant to be sung to. When I first entered the studio, I just started writing and all of these thoughts were coming out like I had been writing forever. At the end, I took a look at what I had written and it turned out really good for the music.
MM: Would you liken your vocal style to poetry or even spoken word?
BB: Yeah, but I also consider it a way to express philosophy. I still like poetry not necessarily because of poetic expression, but because it's a way for me to express philosophy and my own view of life.
MM: What are some of the subjects that inspire your words?
BB: We still are not really taking time to think about our own lives. The more and more that the media takes over society so to speak...the average person supposedly watches television or videos about eight hours a day. They don't really take the time to reflect. And that's what philosophy basically is - reflections and abstractions about your principles and how you're going to live your life. You are still going to do those things that you do to live your life, but what are they based on? So many people are aimlessly going from moment to moment without really basing their life on principles.
MM: Do you feel there is a good market for your style of music right now?
BB: Well...not really. (Laughs) Philosophy is like the science of thinking about how to live life. And religion always seems to have that market cornered. So I don't really think there's a market for it. It's something I sort of make for myself. But I would like to see if anyone out there is interested in the content as well.
MM: What have you done so far in marketing "Taming of Creation," and have you been performing the songs live?
BB: I have not been playing out live as of yet. I did use to play out live a lot back when I was a singer/songwriter. I don't really consider this a performance record. I'm still developing a way to get the music successfully out there. Ultimately, the bulk of the music business is geared towards certain types of markets, like you have to have a record that sounds like a hit in a particular genre. Then they go out and market it a certain way. But "Taming of Creation" is not really a performance record. It's more like one that you would look for licensing.
MM: What are your future marketing plans?
BB: I need to find the people who are thinking in the same direction that would enjoy it. So my school of thought with ("Taming of Creation") is I just have to keep analyzing the way things are in the music business. As I grow and feel that I have another body of work in me and it's time to express it, it will probably be something along these lines. It will reflect a new level of my development. But I need to work on specific methods of communication to get the music out. There is not a predefined marketplace for the type of music I do. I could go to college radio and I may still do that. I could go out and perform it, live but that is not really what the music is all about. And I want to do the right things for it without necessarily bringing the industry into everything.
