I wanted to share this interview I did with my brother about what it's like to create and play music with his band WALK
and my brother, Tim, will be playing an acoustic set of some of his band's songs
Im very excited so be sure to tune in. (stream www.kuci.org)
I wanted to share this interview I did with my brother about what it's like to create and play music with his band WALK
Spotlight
on the experience of being in a small local band
an
interview with Timmy from WALK
WALK is a
band that formed in early 2006 by a group of friends who “finally decided to
call it a band”. They have been creating music and playing shows ever since.
The band includes Tim Jordan(guitar), Dan Apodaca(drums), Chris Kerrigan(keyboard) and Sean Guerin(bass). They have played a plethora of
venues around LA ranging from the Troubadour to Tim’s living room and have
toured up the coast to Olympia, Washington. The creativity and experience
involved in being in a band is something that is hard to describe, but here is how
Timmy describes his feelings and thoughts about making music.
How would you characterize and describe
your process when creating music?
I think it’s a
little like making a bed for yourself to sleep on. And you have a certain discomfort
that only certain resonations or vibrations can sooth. I guess you start by
hearing music in your head from another song, or even the way your walking and
your dragging your feet *cachunck a chh*cachunck
a chhhi* its sort of starts a tumbling of a song. It’s like narrating your own
life with music. Create a soundtrack to your own life in a way.
What
inspires you/ what are your songs about?
Probably like
lamentations. A lot of my songs are about responsibility. Like singing or chanting
an anthem. Making it ok to feel like you wanna do the right thing. It’s like
having a conversation with someone and you wanna tell someone something and
your don’t know how else to describe it other than to sing it.
Tell me about the formation and changing of
your band?
I think it
started in the first house I ever lived in and we had a studio that we could go
make noise in. The band started forming around the drums. As I started to
become more musical, friends of my brothers would come over and we would all
play music. We had a tape recorder that only recorded one thing - so it would
just record the whole room while we played. Then my friends Kenny, Andrew and
Wyatt were the main ones and we were in the studio playing music and recording
on Kenny’s 4-track recorder and when he forgot the tape recorder in our studio, I
started using it. Then it was almost like someone dropping miracle grow on
something - I just used the tape recorder and had so much fun.
How many people and what instruments do you
usually have in the band?
I think always
guitar, bass, drums were kind of the core. I think the band sounds adequate
with the 3. But other interesting stuff happens when you add more people, so I
think 4 is good and its worth having the extra guitar or keyboards - It gives
that song something.
How do you feel when you perform onstage?
I think it’s
similar to what I was hoping to achieve when writing or coming up with the
song. Having to create the song and getting to relive it - as if it was the
first time. So its really liberating onstage to kind of let the cords loose.
What is the hardest part about playing
music in a band?
I guess timing.
Well I’m thinking- getting everyone in the same place at the same time. So even
being a band or being friends for any length of time you start drifting away
from each other and being a band does not always help you get together… And
always remembering to have a tape recorder. Keep everything you can, cuz you
don’t know when something good is gonna happen.
Considering you’re a small local band, do
you face any challenges getting your band’s name out there?
I don’t have
anything to do with out there because I don’t know what out there is and I
don’t know how to get there. Everybody I know, knows of our band. I certainly
am aware that there is an out there. But I don’t know what [our music] looks
like to other people. I don’t think its been hard getting the name out there,
but I’ll just try harder anyways. It just sort of happens on its own.
What are some goals you would like to see
your band reach.
Maybe to make a
totem pole of all of our heads, that would be pretty cool. To have an artifact,
or have like a monument, I guess (chuckles).
It doesn’t have to be a big monument. It should be easy to find, that’s all.
Like a good thing to visit, “this is the WALK totem pole.” Having it be
discovered but not in the same way.
Do you want your band to eventually get
super famous?
I think I just
wanna share with the most people that I can. And the music is powerful and
nourishing but I would want whoever needed it to have it - so if that means
being super famous. I would be ok if nobody told me they liked our music. It’s
not for me to know, its just for them to check out.
Do you think your music is the best?
I think there is
really really great music out there. I don’t know every new band, but I think
there are better bands than ours. Of course there are so many aspiring artists
– creative, creative people. I like a lot of bands, but I love my band extra
cuz its mine.

One of the poems my mom read on the show...
Heartthrobs
1
The snails never had is so good.
Today my daughter has discovered you
and is cherishing your eel bodies
and frail horns like a fairytale.
How earnest we become over something
which before we gladly would have smashed.
I pull weeds and wonder where this
particular species of plant, this weed
with miniature flowers and new green burrs
has come from, finding a home
in the snail’s salt flat raceway.
With glee I excise this source from outdoors
before these burrs, fast burr from burr
turn brown and start nesting in my socks and cuffs.
I am aware as working fades
and we gardeners lose our light, that
sounds from a once-a-year neighborhood
carnival ebb, then pick up force
like the wind just before the sun goes down.
As if our air were just too full
of these sounds of children’s voices, sirens
doubt, jubilation, that a maelstrom
is all that can cleave day from night.
Her flashlight wobbles back inside, jostling
just below the height of her elbow, satisfied with snails.
2
I honestly come to the Post Office to visit
her nails. It is as if her nails have drained
some power of beauty from the rest of her
to keep themselves alive. Her fingernails,
Coming Attractions, Picasso Retrospectives
riffing on my stamps and certified letters,
The Rockettes kicking away on the ends
of her two wrists, lipstick and blue.
She plants a gem, a heartthrob, words
poems on each nail. The Eleventh Commandment:
Thou Shalt Not Cheat Thy Nails, nails who sing
all the live-long, postal service day away.
