Important music is not born inside a machine.
At least, not so far as Harlowe Jones is concerned. Great music comes when human beings play physical instruments in real time, and the sound connects a room full of people by filling in all the spaces between them. And if it’s just right, some of the spaces inside of the people themselves. We first had our toes curled up in our shoes playing tapes and records from the likes of Sam Cooke, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Otis Redding, and Led Zeppelin. We know that there are feelings in each of us that can only be felt in the presence of live music, so we create music with sticks and strings and our voices that feels like love, and loss, and struggle, and joy.
