Ganfunkel - God‘s Creation (a deep dive with the artist Rik Ganju) (2020)

On this special episode, Trevor and Shane are joined by Rik Ganju, composer and multi-intrumentalist of Ganfunkel. Ganfunkel is a Musical Collective that defies genre but has elements of jazz, industrial, world, and EDM. This latest EP is a two song work titled "God's Creation." Despite the fact that these songs are instrumental, the music speaks volumes about the chaos of our world today and touches on wildfires, covid 19, and our political climate with a saxophone as the central protagonist amidst this disorder. Rik shares his vision for these songs, but more broadly speaks about the balance between his classical training and his intuition and ways that they work together but can also be at odds with one another when tapping into the magic that makes something just work. Though lyrics often play a central role in Shane and Trevor's musical deep dives, this exploration was a very rewarding look into how the music itself can tell a story...and how that story can speak differently to one person or another. You can find Ganfunkel's music wherever you get your tunes, but it is also featured as the outro to every Album Divers episode. Link to episode in bio.
