Derek Johnson & Michael Fiday on Enjoying Complex Music

Sometimes contemporary art is kind of intimidating. Artists Derek Johnson & Michael Fiday talk tips on enjoying complex music & not being scared of new or old sounds. 

From Derek: “You don’t have to listen with your mind. …Art is more like a ride! Instead of trying to intellectualize it, approach it more like going on the bumper cars or the roller coaster. Throw your arms up and try to enjoy the experience."

​From Michael: “just kind of let is wash over you and experience it. …let it jostle you around and don’t worry about sorting it out right then and there. …You don’t have to ‘understand’ it.”
