Taylor Deupree & Joseph Branciforte: Reimagining Stil

Click the play button to listen

Today, the Spotlight shines On experimental music producers and label owners Taylor Deupree and Joseph Branciforte.

Back in 2002, Taylor Deupree released an electronic album called Stil. (12k Music). That release captivated listeners with its quiet, repeating patterns and stark digital sound. Twenty years later, Taylor and producer Joseph Branciforte linked up to reimagine the album as Sti.ll (greyfade), rebuilding the entire work using only non-electronic instruments.

The new version takes all of the computer-generated sounds from the original and puts them in the hands of live musicians playing clarinets, strings, and percussion. It is an ambitious and adventurous project from two collaborators enmeshed in experimental music—Taylor runs 12k Music and has spent years blending electronic and natural sounds, while Joe's built greyfade into a label that keeps finding creative ways to present creative music.

They're here to walk us through this one-of-a-kind project while covering several other topics related to creativity and the modern music business.
