Tyondai Braxton - Platinum Rows



"Tyondai Braxton deployed an army of machines for his second solo album, Central Market
(out this fall). To record it, Braxton connected traditional
instruments like guitar and keyboards to a chain of pitch shifters,
Moog modulators, and looping pe...dals, then added beat-boxing samples
(among other quirky vocal effects) for a densely layered texture.... The artist then transcribed these sounds into sheet music using a
notation software program and enlisted the Wordless Music Orchestra, an
independent New York ensemble, to contribute strings, woodwinds, and
percussion."
