What is an "ignorant savant" anyway?

what people are saying

• "Sounds kinda like Hendrix covering The Fall - thats a compliment - two of my favourite musical things" - McDead (on Bouillabaisse)

• "Some disparate influences influences showing, makes it extra interesting. A whole little world." SoundAnimal

• "Good and creative progressive rock music. That scream in the background reminds me of Ummagumma (Pink Floyd)". Adian Losof

• "I dig the psychedelic vibe." Deep Blue Cat. (On Enneadecaeteris)

• "yea this is a groove and that bass is right on point." Stranded Alien (On Abishag)

• "el piano le da un toque increible, personalmente me encanta lo tranquila que es la pieza: Top 11 (on Stonework).

• " ... really enjoy your music. It is quite unique and has great emotional depth, wonderful creations." Amethyst

• Mysterious and intriguing, from the percussion to the guitar. This could also be in one of those dramatic irony scenes in a movie, when the audience knows more than the characters. - S. Corpac (on Characters in Existential Play)  

• "loved every second it took to take off, like an impressionist painting slowly shifting in the light, and then the go, just long enough to get covered by the clouds again... gorgeous piece. i came with no expectations and found actual gold!" (on Crescent Moonbeam)

• Love your work! This is so out of the box extraordinary! (on Hollow-man)

• Perfect poetry smashing with sad guitar chords 🫶🏽🔥 (on Picture of You)

• To the picture of life right here in one track (on Picture of You)

• Mystic Tapedeck - "you have really unique and interesting phrasing, the way your parts kind of breathe...it's cool man, I dig it. I'll have to check out your movies." (on Hollow-man)

• Miles, where are you? the ignorant savants playing 🙌🏾💯🔥🫵🏾

• 😃...plan to listen more..You got some other Curtis Mayfield vibe going on..... (ship of fools cover)

• I will say it again...I love the vibe of this song...better than the original (ship of fools GD cover)

• You will be captivated by the background sounds that exude the scent of true music.

• a quirky array of sounds behind this great guitar part...my ears tingle and my mind is stimulated. (burnt orange)

• instant attraction to this flitting and fluttering beat. the progressions I hear unfolding are wonderful. awesome track! (burnt orange)

About the ignorant savants:

This project began in 2018 on a personal challenge to create a piece of music with an accompaning video from a single idea and develop them into simple, impressionistic works within 72 hours.  Most creations adhere to this concept, except many do not have videos. Visit my YouTube channel for the full set of videos and more.
