Artist History
In 1888, Édouard Dujardin (1861-1949) first used the technique of stream of consciousness in his novel Les Lauriers sont Coupés. This technique records the multifarious thoughts and feelings of a character without regard tological argument or narrative sequence. The technique received further exposure in 1922, when James Joyce (1882-1941) published Ulysses, a freakin' long novel in which the activities of two characters were chronicled over a period of 24 hours in stream of consciousness style. Decades later, a team of critics selected Ulysses as the most important novel of the century. Indeed, the novel sits proudly on the bookshelf in Neil's living room, and although neither he nor Mateo have read it, the technique of stream of consciousness may describe their technique of songwriting, sort of...only instead of being conscious, they usually dream about the songs and when they wake up, there they are. Hence, the band often practices music early in the morning on weekends after watching a lot of television on the previous night. |
