I bought this record in 2001 and I distinctly remember playing this for people and having them straight up say ā€œthis isnā€™t musicā€. I was frustrated because they clearly didnā€™t hear what I and a lot of other people heard, which was an absolute masterpiece of aggressive music and the first truly HI FI hardcore album. I teared up the first time I saw this video because this justified everything I felt (and feel) and so much more. Jane Doe is high art, period, and much like other great works of art, it just took 10+ years for people to understand it.

I love Kurt and Converge but this woman introducing him and Matt, is so well spoken. That was a perfect intro, I know she's an excellent teacher.

Asking Kurt to comment on the values/strengths of a formal education in music is kind of hilarious. She mentions they're all paying top-dollar to be there, and here you have Kurt who produced an album that's known outside of it's relatively niche sub-genre because it was so well received. He did everything the exact opposite way, and he was working a day job as a medical-engineer when he did it. He's sort of proof of concept for not studying music at college. And punk rock in general is like that, but was the origin of rock: Delta-Blues which was pioneered partially by men who might not have been able to read let-alone read music. It is a labor of love and passion that sometimes suffers from institution and orthodoxy. But Kurt's time spent watching Matthew Ellard(who I assume is trained academically) was invaluable to him I'm sure. But he got to watch a professional, and he had a frame of reference doing DIY himself to build upon. This makes me think of Tom DeLonge from Blink-182, and how he said when he went into the studio for their 3rd/4th records he felt a huge inadequacy, and it lit a fire in him to become more professional and hands-on with the music production. He then did Boxcar Racer, and I think blew it out of the water with that record.

It blows my mind that Converge is at Berklee doing this. I got lucky and bought this album the day it came out. That night when I listened to it, my whole perspective on life changed. I'm so happy for the guys that they can keep doing it.

Discovered this band at my Meshuggah concert I recently went to. Knew nothing about them at all. Now Iā€™m doing research into who this band is. Gives me something new to discover! They kicked ass right before Meshuggah blew up the agora! I remember as my friend and I got out of the car, we were walking to the front to wait and we heard them playing through a song inside and my god they sounded insane! Definitely was a great concert!

I was watching a video on Prince and this producer came up that looked so familiar, and I couldn't place her until I remembered she was the professor interviewing Kurt Ballou in this video. That was kinda cool.

Kurt is a wizard when in comes to Create sounds. My god Converge albums were just walls of chaos in the form of music notes.

I revisit this video at least once a year. So well done. Kurt is a master at composition and production and I love the professorā€™s enthusiasm. Wish I couldā€™ve had this at my school.
