Road Dawgs — a short film about Future Islands
directed and shot by Jay Buim
I had the great pleasure of seeing Future Islands perform at the Coachella festival in Indio, California this year. The photo above (not by me, by Wilson Lee for spin.com) is of that show.
Here are a few resources I prepared for my student, Ben, this week. This song has a lovely vocal by Frank Ocean underpinned by some juicy seventh chords in the verses. It was a good song to demonstrate chord inversions: in the chorus, the three-note chords (triads) that the right hand plays are all in 1st inversion (with the root note in the middle).
A video of me playing one of my party pieces at the Millstone the other week. A bit noisy, and the waitress (who has, tragically, abandoned us for her sunnier, native Spain) interrupted me in the middle, wondering if I was just watching myself in the iPad as I played!
