His recording “106” is pretty nice

I can’t believe yall trippen that hard on this album😂🫶🏽. It’s so freaking unbelievably good. Give it time. I hear it already though. Man sick! 🙌🏽

I like them both more than stadium arcadium ✨😊.

Letur Lefr has that “old” John sound. The vocals are the biggest standout, obviously? To me he sings in a style and tone reminiscent of Niandra. Not as extreme, but in my head it sounds like it could be that same John that was sitting in a room for hours tripping out. Now with a tight electronic band backing him featuring wutang mc’s haha. I love him

Idk just a thought, I always imagine things with John. Hope your all having a good weekend ✨

The only problem I have with SDM is…they should have left birth control pill unreleased lol other then that love em

Track feels like im somewhere in South America but its a dream in time lapse. lol what other vibes are there for you?

This is my favorite from his electronic stuff! I enjoy all his output but something about when he slows down and gives the machines space. His music is already so beautiful, it’s like when a cheetah slows down and you can really see its coat. Idk, I guess to each his own haha

Really cool how he plays guitar on that record. The way he jumps strings and the wide intervals sound so cool to me. It’s pretty similar to the version of frippertronics that was recorded live on television. Then there are the skittering twisting guitar lines he does that I’ve never really heard any other guitar player do. I’m not even sure how to describe some of the runs, if anything I’d say original. The playfulness is something i love about the playing. Seems like he was just curious what would happen if he played in a certain way. Then all the modular sounds are just otherworldly and totally mind blowing to me. Anyone still enjoy?

In a interview in 2015 with RA:

You seem attracted to lone genius types who are functioning in their own space. At the same time, collaboration seems pretty important to you.

When I started doing that acid stuff, I thought I was going to stop making music with people. I didn't think I would end up in a friendship like I did with Aaron—I just thought I'm finished working with people. I didn't know that there could be collaborations where you could just both be responding to your imagination and be confident enough in your imaginations to not be like, "What do you think? Is this good enough?"

I think in general, the greatest, most important ideas that have ever occurred in mankind have come from individuals, people who are not worried about what others think but had some kind of internal guidance from their imagination, and who made it their objective to do their will, regardless of the danger it might put them in, or regardless of whether people might want to kill them or disagree with them. I think it's really important for people to trust their inner guidance and not let the outside world be their guide. To me, letting the outside world be your guide is like being a slave, and I think that who we really have to thank for any progress mankind has ever made have been leaders, people who were uncompromising and people who spent time cultivating their imaginations and weren't afraid to be alone and weren't afraid to be different.

When I made that transition to making electronic music, I was reading a lot of Aleister Crowley and reading all these Thelema books, and it's all about doing your will. And I saw people like Aaron and Autechre and Richard D. James—musically it seemed like their life and philosophy was totally correlative to what I was reading about in the Thelema books. People around me thought I was doing my will because the people were screaming, and I'm playing the guitar, but I knew that I wasn't.

I saw that ability in electronic music to, as a single person, create an entire piece of music. Those are the kinds of leaders we had when we had classical composers. Back when composers were actually the leaders of music, there was one man who would have 150 people do what they said. Now this was possible without having anyone do what they said, because I don't like telling people what to do, and I definitely don't like people telling me what to do. Telling people what to do seems like the worst thing that you could do to yourself, but with machines, you don't lose anything by commanding them, you don't have disappointments the way a composer might with the musicians not playing the way he hears in his head.

In general, in society, it's getting harder and harder for people to figure out how to be leaders, and I see electronic music as this area where you're free to be master and leader and not have these kinds of complications that come up when it's actual human beings that you're having to lead.

I still think it’s genius after all these years. Guitarist, you should learn this one! Great chord progression

Do any of you actually enjoy John Fruscinate currently? All I see is people obsessing over the past. Obviously, you’re entitled to an opinion. He’s one of those artist that has a past that his fans keep very much alive. People are more attracted to the drama in his life. How his looks change throughout the years. Who he’s dating or married to. I get it, that’s how the world treats one another. He’s an artist guys, whether you think so or not. His music is real part of his life and means a lot to him. I been following him, reading all the interviews watching all the videos and learning a lot of his guitar playing. For me, everything he’s doing musically makes sense. There’s no surprises that’s he making electronic music and not guitar music right now. I see his electronic music as being very singular and highly creative. I hear the same voice in his electronic music as his songwriter stuff. He’s simply not composing songs in the traditional sense. Any other artist with his type of following would cash out, keep making the same type of stuff over and over. That’s not why he’s here in the public eye. The man truly loves making art and music. Anyways who cares what I think 😂 but I hope his fans truly get into him. I feel very lucky to be able to hear the music he makes in the comfort of his own home. I just think there’s so much beauty in his current state.

I’m a 37 year old single male with no kids or career. I stopped talking to all my old friends, classmates, coworkers, big amount of my family. No one will hire me. I’m in the middle of bankruptcy without a job or car. I have a few hundred dollars left, then it’s over. I feel so useless and hopeless, like it’s time for me to die.
