SUMMER EMPLOYMENT

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.

Gone 
Gone 
Beyond’s 
new 

self-titled album is available on 
SoundCloud for listening and on 
Bandcamp for downloading.

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.
