World That We Order is the third and final EP of psy-bass producer Spundose‘s trilogy. Displaying themes of creative evolution and mastery of his unique style, the release unleashes a powerful new arsenal of sounds that ascend the producer to a new height of sonic craftsmanship. Along with new grooves that compliment his rhythms flawlessly, this sound design displays Chris Johannesen’s (Spundose) exploration into new territories not previously exhibited in his previous two EPs. This is undoubtedly a bi-product of the dedication and commitment Spundose has for his vision. Every bassline, every rhythmic phrase is so meticulously arranged that when listening to the World That We Order EP in its entirety, one forgets it’s a collection of songs as each one accents the next with total fluency.

|| INTERVIEW ||
Funkadelphia: “What made you want to isolate the music on ‘World That We Order’ and your previous two EPs to a collection? Do you feel there’s any particular characteristics that separate them from your other works?”
Spundose: “Initially all three were going to be released this past summer as one release called ‘Tones That We Broadcast’- a phrase which people familiar with my music might recognize from “Vector Them In”, the first song on my ‘Relatives’ release. I’m not sure where the idea of splitting it up came from, but once that happened I guess they were still linked up together in my head, and either way it was a fun experience to figure out and manifest the trilogy aspect.
I think it is interesting how presentation has a huge effect on perception, and so it will mainly be the listener who is drawing conclusions about what’s up with the titles and cover art, and how are the releases linked, and how does it relate to the rest of my Spundose discography. I want Spundose to stimulate imaginations; so beyond the sounds themselves, I try to bring that vibe to the song/album titles and cover art as well. Generally speaking, we the people broadcast the tones, whether in sonic [or] visual wavelength, which shakes up the mainstream matrix conditioning, thereby allowing us to create a world that we order ourselves- rather than some sort of unknown 1% of the 1% cabal, which is the likely scenario in this global reality.”
Funkadelphia: “What sort of progression in your music has occurred from the first EP in the trio to this last one?”
Funkadelphia: “Have you always been focussed on electronic music; and, did you have any other musical projects prior to ‘Spundose’?“
Funkadelphia: “Did you grow up in a musical family; or, have you ever undergone any formal music education?“
Spundose: “No one in my family is a serious musician, but it is definitely a music-loving family. I am really grateful to my parents for exposing me to so much awesome music, taking my brother and I to see classical music concerts, et cetera.
I started playing guitar in junior high school and took some lessons with a local guru of sorts, learning scales and basic music theory. My initial aspiration in college was to be a jazz guitar major, but I felt late since I hadn’t learned to read music or play in the jazz band in high school. The late feeling was compounded by not getting into music theory for my first two semesters. I decided to do something that I loved and came naturally, which was reading and writing, so I majored in English. I’ve since thought it was pretty funny I ended up gravitating to music after all, late or not, for better or worse… definitely for better.”
Funkadelphia: “Do you think the visual art in your area, specifically Alex Grey’s CoSM [Chapel of Sacred Mirrors], has played a role in your music in any way; and if so, how?”
Spundose: “Nope. I think their work is awesome of course. I went there once to see Tipper, and I would love to be able to share my sounds there at some point.
Funkadelphia: “What do you have coming up for this summer – any festival or other appearances you would like to mention?”
Spundose: “I’ll be at Elements Lakewood Camping Festival in [Pennsylvania] on Memorial Day Weekend. I’ll be at Satellite Ranch Music & Arts Festival in September – that is all I have announceable right now.”
