Artist description Surrealistic Spoken-word and Bop-talk take you on a verbal trip. Summoning forth a stream of images, with illustrative mouth noises and musical expostulations that achieve unexpected changes of tone and pace, tension, surprise and imagery in music as well as speech. With the use of Musique Concrete, these jangling, alternative pop songs, represent a cunning synthesis of commercial and subversive signals, but do not compete with delusion of the theme. They do not present difficult music that requires study and contemplation, but a processed collage of moments of spontaneity. Street Pilot is among the few artists that can manage to sound interesting yet also give their public the feeling that everyone can do it. In addition to creating a mood, the music seems to demand that people listen to it and react. It's participatory. What Street Pilot does is not designed to reinforce your lifestyle, it's coming from a different place; it's not product. Ultimately the intent is not product-oriented. It's the promise of pop in which social documentary and art fuse in a single flash. Appearing at a time when pop music is looming, Street Pilot provides a beat, a message, and a voice that is captivating. As modified rock and roll appears to be strong as a programming trend, almost all of the rock and roll artists who show up on various polls have changed to a sweeter style, and their current releases tend to be more on the ballad side.The ability to express emotion is perhaps Street Pilot's strongest suit. You can feel the anxiety in the music and the lyrics. Street Pilot has passion. The music style - which eloquently defines the mood of 20th century America and endures as a burnished monument of the artist's time and ours - may appear artless, but it is the product of a great deal of thought and labor. The absence of any impression of art is imperative to Street Pilot's style. The accomplishment in avoiding it is the most compelling evidence of their stature as artist. He is not presenting himself as an artist; he is presenting himself as a person. The coolly emotive legato vocal lines prefigure his approach, and the light, seemingly effortless delivery, is derived from his emulation of the long duration techniques of instrumentalists. He exploits the sensitivity of music and speech, to create a heightened sensation of warmth and intimacy in both his concerts and on his recordings. The persuasive music and the soft vocal readings, make the material a very personal statement. Personal statement is the cornerstone of Street Pilot's musical style.The observations are often extraordinary and the smooth parsing, control over dynamics and solid sensitivity with the music and lyric's delicate intrusions, all melds together. The song's human qualities are what enable him to inject such pathos. The spectacular combination makes it possible for Street Pilot to reach a broad public with his music. The complexities of Street Pilot's characters and songs may never be weighed by a single observer. His measure as an American cult figure and a musical colossus is economically summarized by the legend on a lapel button sported by some of his fans: " The passionate interchange of talk. As if the whole world had but one voice to hear."
