Will Taubin
An experienced producer and a Pioneer of east coast BMX Biking About SoulCrack Music is a pretty abstract way to say something,
its difficult to communicate something successfully
production credits: On the Bike: will taubin was one of the first bmx riders from new york to put the city on the map,
in the days when the bmx magazines mainly covered the west coast and the mid west.
he was also one of the pioneers of brakeless street riding, which is now more or less the standard. He appeared on the cover of ride bmx, and was featured in ride bmx, transworld, bmx action, looking glass, ride uk, dig magazine, props visual, shine, and various other publications. at one point or another, he was sponsored by animal, zoo york, base bklyn, volume bikes, brooklyn machine works, vans , etnies, puma, elite footwear and inopia. his music was also featured in props video mag, ride bmx "in the life", animal"can i eat" which ran on the fox sports network. Will taubin still rides his bike but stepped out of the spotlight of the media for personal reasons. |
without speaking it directly in a verbal language
that we all learn from birth.
when you make beats as opposed to being a lyricist,
youre trying to communicate with the moods that you create.
theres no narration of what exactly a particular song is trying to say,
and the same musical textures will evoke different emotions or moods in different listeners,
and some might not feel anything.
Soulcrack is a collection of mostly flipped-sample instrumental joints that reflect my current perspective on life,
based on my experiences of growing up in brooklyn and manhattan, the highs and the lows,
watching a lot of good people drowning in shit, gifted kids with no self esteem, and no direction,
neglected by society. fake friends, real friends, love and heartbreak, loneliness, confusion,
insecurity, poverty, intoxication, dreams, hopes, and reality. Will Taubin 2008
