An interview with
‘Gone Gone Beyond’
By REGAN DETWILER
Daily Arts Writer
The
Michigan
Daily’s
conversation with Gone Gone
Beyond’s
David
Block
was
as broad and wide-ranging
as Block’s musical projects.
His most recent project in
futurefolk, Gone Gone Beyond
— with Danny Musengo on
vocals, Paul Weinfield on guitar
and Block on production, synth
and pretty much everything
else — just released its first,
self-titled album. Prior to this
project Block has collaborated
with countless musicians as
The
Human
Experience
—
not only working with artists
from all different genres and
from all different areas of
the world, but also producing
his own solo work. In a mini-
documentary available on his
website Block says his goal as a
musician is to make electronic
music more than just random
bits and wobbles of sound —
to incorporate acoustic and
classical
instruments
from
different
time
periods
and
regions
around
the
world.
Having
played
at
festivals
both local and international
— including Electric Forest
in 2014 — Block is planning
on touring again soon with
Gone Gone Beyond. In a phone
interview with the Daily he
shared his thoughts on Gone
Gone Beyond, art and music
in general and the human
condition in an increasingly
digital world.
The Michigan Daily: Gone
Gone Beyond’s first album just
came out. So I guess first of
all you’re working with Paul
Weinfield and Danny Musengo
— how’d you guys meet?
David Block: Well I met
Danny two years ago. Danny
had worked with Paul before,
and Paul just kind of fit in
and now they have Gone Gone
Beyond. Danny pays attention
to
intention,
which
is
an
integral part of how I create
music.
TMD: Yeah, I was going to
ask you about intention. Gone
Gone Beyond seems to have a
very specific sound, because it’s
reminiscent of other futurefolk
artists that are popular right
now. What was the intention
behind
that?
How
does
spontaneity and intention play
into all this?
DB: My primary intention
is to expand the hearts and
the minds of listeners — really
just to connect ourselves to
our humanity through stories
and through music. That’s the
primary intention. It’s either a
blessing or a curse — sometimes
both — but I have no format with
how I do anything. Apparently
I have a sound — I don’t hear
it, because everything I do
sounds so different. I guess
some people say they can hear
a Human Experience track and
tell it’s mine fairly quickly even
if it’s some of the world music I
do or more of the futurefolk. I
would say that when I sit down
with any group of players I just
use the tools that I have. Being
a collaborator, which is also one
of the foundational elements of
my work and one of my most
powerful skills I integrate what
I can do with what someone
else can do. It’s a combination of
my vision and Danny and Paul’s
songwriting.
TMD: In reading some of
the things you’ve written and
listening to your music, it seems
like spirituality is a driving
force for you in your music. You
worked with Hacking Arts at
The Massachusetts Insitute of
Technology, a project seeking
to inspire youth to merge
creativity and technology —
how do you merge creative
expression and even spirituality
with technology?
DB:
First,
I
think
it’s
interesting how we use the word
‘technology.’
Your
creativity
and creative expression are
your
human
technologies,
which
are
exceptionally
powerful. You are a human
interface; your consciousness is
an interface for reality. So that
is a technology in itself. It has
exceptional functionality. It has
these things called the senses,
which make you believe that
you are real.
TMD: Make you think you’re
real.
DB: Yes, it’s a very effective
interface. Every single human
has one. It perceives light and
sound and touch. When I was
at MIT some of the people
there were showing me how
to do some new, augmented
technology. I’m like looking
around the world right now.
I’m standing right in front of
Radio City Music Hall. I’m
looking at, you know, 500
people walking by and they’re
all looking at their iPhones,
which none of them had five
years ago, and some of them are
FaceTiming each other. That
was like fuckin’ Jetson’s shit.
That was on the Jetson’s like
25 years ago. And now, what’s
about to happen is they’re about
to launch the first consumer-
level virtual reality experience.
Basically, people are going to
have this new technology where
they’re going to be able to quite
literally create worlds. It is
about to change the entire way
we interact with other humans
and the world around us. And it
will be a possible tool that will
really fuck stuff up and possibly
really change the way that
we do our spirituality. You’ll
probably have virtual gods and
all sorts of crazy shit. So the
game is about to change and
that’s interesting.
TMD: Yeah, it’s exciting and
terrifying all at the same time.
DB:
Totally,
yeah.
Who
knows? We’re either gonna
change for the better, or we’re
all gonna die. We’re at the
tipping point right now. It’s
serious and not serious. We’re in
a very crucial time in humanity
where I think we really need to
be checking our intention and
how we are interacting with
the world, how we’re treating
each other, what products we’re
consuming and all of these
things. It’s really important
right now.
TMD: It’s absolutely crucial.
Touching back on spirituality,
I Google-searched Gone Gone
Beyond
and
what
showed
up was the Heart Sutra of
Mahayana Buddhism. Was that
a part of your thought process
as the three of you named this
project and if so, why?
DB: Originally the name of
this project was WAVS. It was
about
higher
consciousness.
Everything is just vibrating
— sound waves, light waves,
etc. — everything is a series of
vibrations in space. But there’s
another band called Wavvs and
we were like, fuck it we don’t
want to compete with that.
But I had been working with
another artist, and in this song
I found the Heart Sutra, which
translates to ‘gone, gone beyond,
gone beyond the beyond. So be
it.’ Part of what was so exciting
about the name is the Heart
Sutra is about the expansion of
the heart, the expansion of the
mind to go beyond all we can
possibly comprehend. We want
people to challenge reality.
We want them to challenge
conformity. We want them to
push their boundaries and I do
hope that when they Google it,
they discover something like
the Heart Sutra. That way, if and
when we reach the mainstream,
that people will be Googling
this and they’ll find the Heart
Sutra — and other things like it.
I’m not a Buddhist but I do take
a lot of the concepts there and
appreciate them.

MUSIC INTERVIEW
Some call him
arrogant, I call him
confident
By SHIMA SADAGHIYANI
Daily Arts Writer
When I was six years old, I
used to play a game in the summer
called “Saving the Kingdom.” In
this game, I would recruit all the
other kids in my neighborhood
to pretend that we were trying
to save the kingdom we lived in
from mysterious and dangerous
outside forces. At least, that’s
what I told my friends to get them
to play. In reality, the game was a
shameless ploy on my part to not
have to do anything for myself
all summer. Day in and day out, I,
the self-proclaimed queen, would
sit on the patio with a ragged
crown of dried dandelions on my
head, sipping on lemonade, while
my friends did everything I told
them to do, all under the guise of
protecting the kingdom. It was
empowering, the one summer of
ruling my own little world.
Of course, it all came tumbling
down when my mom caught on to
what was occurring in her own
backyard. My crown was thrown
away, and I was sat down for a
crash course on what it means to
be humble. Under my mother’s
watchful eye, both my ego and my
ambitions of becoming a queen
slowly died down.
My first Kanye West song
was “Can’t Tell Me Nothing”
when I was in eighth grade. My
middle school self, completely
contrasting
my
six-year-old
self, was restrained and too shy
to speak up in front of anyone.
My self-esteem, much like the
majority of other prepubescent
kids, was at an all time low.
However, as soon as I heard
the unapologetic “excuse me?
Was you saying something? / uh
uh, you can’t tell me nothing,”
I was hooked. The energy and
arrogance emitting from this
song reminded me of the little girl
I used to be, who had endless self-
confidence and dreams to the sky
and beyond. By the last line, “then
you can’t tell me nothing, right?”
I felt energized, self-assured and
completely in control of my life.
It was then, in eighth grade, that I
had an important realization:
Kanye West’s narcissism gives
me life.
Much like his celebrity persona,
Kanye West’s music somehow
manages to simultaneously say
both “fuck you” and “I’m too
important to give a fuck about
you.” In “H.A.M” the combination
of driving beat and vigorous,
in-your-face
lyrics
brings
a
pulsing
energy
that
nearly
implodes the speakers. By the
time the song gets to the chorus,
you know both you and Kanye
West are about to go “HAM / Hard
As a Muthaf-cker.” Similarly,
“Stronger” is just as empowering.
“There’s a thousand yous, there’s
only one of me” makes you want
to own your originality, and the
constant muted “make it better”
in the background gives you
the assertiveness to turn every
surface you walk on into your
own personal red carpet.
For me, Kanye West has helped
in many different scenarios. If I
needed pump up music before a
big football game, I immediately
blasted “Who Gon Stop Me.” If
I needed a confidence booster
before a competition, a huge
test or an important moment in
my life, I always put on “I am A
God.” If I felt like I was going
to die at the gym, I consistently
played “No Church In The Wild”
on repeat. On long car rides, my
friends and I would roll down the
windows and scream everyone’s
favorite, “Gold Digger.” In every
situation, Kanye West was there
to provide some much-needed
composure. And maybe that’s
the reason why he is such a huge
force in popular culture: there is a
little part in everybody that wants
to have that take no prisoners,
self-absorbed confidence that his
music inspires.
I want Kanye West to always
keep obnoxiously calling people
out on Twitter and to keep
making songs that are the musical
equivalent of rocking an entirely
leather outfit so that, one day in
the future, I can hope to truly love
myself as much as Kanye loves
Kanye.
