Nicely put.
Of course the opposite is true. If one cannot manifest the creative thoughts swirling around in their brains by way of physical skill or technical prowess, how could their creativity ever truly exist for others to enjoy, or not?
I dearly hope you're not suggesting that someone can sit around and daydream and call that creativity?
I don't know. Same tempo, same key, nearly the same chord changes, very similar percussion. I honestly thought this was just someone's cover/homage.
Lot's of debate about creativity in these comments, but no mention of Radiohead. Is this not an adaptation of "Reckoner"?

I like this song and think it has a place on the RP playlist, but the
guy's not wrong - it's an appropriate comment, as far as I'm concerned.
Too much of what I see in the comments seems to just be cheerleading.
We appreciate that it makes you feel good, or reminds you of days past,
or that everyone in your hotel room is dancing to the given track ...
... but a more comprehensive discussion with room for criticism is much
more interesting. Trolls notwithstanding, I appreciate the critical
comments, even if I myself take umbrage occasionally.
Your I.Q. clearly shows in your post. Loser.....if there ever was one!!.
thanks.
I wonder how many times you copied and pasted the text in this post.
exactly the right amount.

Certainly seems the meaning behind that hand sign has been all but lost.... it's original meaning was not "peace", at all....it was a "V"..... For Victory from the war.
It wasn't lost. It evolved. Some consider peace a victory.

Gosh Mr. Staten Isle, ever heard the saying, "Don't judge a book by its cover"? I would say it most definitely applies here. He can put out such beautiful music and then you denigrate him because he is wearing a baseball hat and a sweatsuit? And, woa, showing the peace sign? (Maybe he even means it!!!)
A guitar is a machine and you adjust its setting to make it sound the way you want. It's the creative process behind the adjustment that makes the art not the machine that delivers it.
So once you've "adjusted" the guitar, it just starts playing on its own? Your creative input is done. Jeez
Ahhhh.....AhhtheMusic is spot on with the rebuttal to mrstatenisle…..besides, based on the interview I'm reading (excerpt below) he emancipated himself from being controlled by TV. I'm at an 8 on this one and thinking about a 9 maybe one day....Long Live RP!!
"How do you get yourself an interview with Rolling Stone Japan, a Puma sponsorship, signed to Japanese label Hyde-out productions and the Bay Area’s own 1320 Records? Not too mention two full length albums behind you and a growing fan base in the electronic music scene- all straight out of college? Doug Appling says, well, "I don’t have a TV."

Ok, guys, I appreciate your remarks. I'd say my Corn Flakes may have been meddled with the morning I first heard this. Since then, I've heard a few other very likable tunes from him here, and upon reading up on him, was impressed with his bona fide musicianship, ambition and career path.
But the peace sign in a snapshot, –the social media standard, –but still an awkward, nervous gesture, symptomatic of a generation that doesn't know how to react to camera lens pointed their way. Well, at least there's no ducky lips with it :)

Not serious. Or thoughtful.

I'm nitpickerish enough to point out that this did not exactly answer my question.

Are you saying that only musicians who use acoustic instruments are creative and that those who use electronics are not? Creativity is a cerebral activity - the use of imagination and ideas to create something - it is not identified or defined by the physical skills or tools one uses to express it. "Creativity" does not mean "technical prowess" or "hard labor".
Nicely put.

An ELECTRIC guitar yes, to a degree.
Certainly not an accoustic.

In this piece, without the violin - there is zero creativity.

All cheese is in fact somewhat processed...
If you like this, check out "Steep In The Safe Cliffs", by the same band.
Just an fyi, Emancipator is a person, aka Doug Appling, not a band.

What the hell!!!?? These prices seems to be for a Rolling Stones lost bootleg CD, not for a simple musician, really beautiful, but simple.
I spoke too soon. They are available for much less directly from the performer's web-site. US$ 10 for an mp3, FLAC or other download.
Interesting. RP plays Emancipator a lot (5 plays in the past month for Minor Cause alone), and I mean a lot but is not positioned to benefit from CD sales.

I got off the trail, i.e., lost for about an hour on the second day but eventually found my way back. In those days, maybe a couple of dozen hikers completed the full route per year. Nasty military dictatorships were in power in both Chile and Argentina at the time.
The snow-capped peaks and glaciers that calve off into the lakes are stunningly beautiful. I would highly recommend it to anybody who likes to backpack.
In those days, I went for a long walkabout as the Aussie aboriginals like to say. My grandmother dropped me off at the American/Montana border and I hitched to Tierra del Fuego.
These days it is called 'exotic adventure travel' and there are likely a lot more people doing it. Still worthwhile though.
By chance, would that be around Los Torres del Paine?

It sure was. What an experience. Played some Emancipator through my headphones eating lunch over Glacier Grey
Couldn't agree more. Going on a 13-day hike through the mountains of southern Patagonia in a couple of months, and have all of his albums downloaded and ready to be looped when I'm at the top of the bottom of the world.

This man puts out some of the consistently best ambient electronica I have had the pleasure of listening to.

Fifteen minutes ago I sent my daughter the reminder request to see if she will join me in his upcoming concert at the Boulder Theatre. Now here he is. Two notes in to the piece and I'm "AH there is Emancipator!" Thanks for making my moment Bill and Rebecca.

He's a doppelganger to a guy I went to high school with, maybe minus the peace sign. He did pretty well for himself and ended up being a cancer doctor in Spokane.
