It’s the early 2000’s. A music video plays on a nearby loop on the Much Music TV channel. A man stands in a room as if in a void. The camera rolls, swaying effortlessly through the abyss as sparse guitars begin. He is shirtless, cut from stone like a statue from antiquity. The music ungulates towards an apex as the camera begins to lower its gaze. A new style of music video is formed, R&B is recreated, the artistry of D’angelo is now truly whole.
Peter sits at home transfixed to the screen, amazed by his perception of what is now possible in music.
“Wake up, grandma why don’t you put on a little makeup.” Or so he thought the lyrics went to System of A Down’s “Chop Suey”. Peter is flabbergasted again. More new styles of music, more new guitar riffs! He sits, mouth open, with a copy of Guitar World magazine open to the tablature of Chop Suey. He is stunned to learn that a guitar can be tuned much lower than he expected! Drop C in fact. “Time to go to school young man,” he thinks to himself clutching his homework. At school, Peter’s classmate reads his essay aloud for marks, stumbling across the quote “Be careful when staring into the abyss because the abyss will stare back into you.” After class, amazed at his friend’s penmanship, Peter does a secret handshake with the author to celebrate the success of the essay. A ‘home-shake.’ That was the moment he realized how to unite his new inspirations. An artist is born.
