The Story Behind the Typewriter (The Recording & The Artwork)
Garrett Viggers - Wednesday, February 27, 2013
One day my sons (Judah and Gabriel) and I were out for yogurt at The Social Yogurt Society in Redding, CA. In the back they have a turquoise vintage typewriter that Gabriel was typing on. I had my eyes closed at the time and I heard him typing and experienced it as a percussive musical element. I recorded a sample on my iphone and knew that we could use a typewriter on a song. We featured it on "God I Look To You" Watch Music Video. I love how we took a machine that is designed to create words and used it on an instrumental canvas as a percussive element. Nathan Grubbs designed the cover art when he smashed this typewriter up. Click here for behind the scenes story on the album artwork. I love the album artwork. Hope you enjoy! It comes out March 5th worldwide. much peace and creativity...
