UScott Avett weA Avett Brothers wenza kwiBoston Calling Music Festival.(Ifoto: Mike Lawrie / Getty Izithombe.) Ngobusuku obandulela ukukhutshwa Usizi lwenene, icwecwe lesithoba kwi-Avett Brothers, UScott Avett, Isiqingatha sesenzo esidumileyo se-alt-folk, wathetha noMbonisi ixesha elide malunga nokuziphendukela komculo webhendi, iimvakalelo zakhe zokuphelelwa lithemba kunye nendlela azithatha ngayo njengomculi obonwayo kuqala, kunye nemvumi okwesibini.
Ndive ubhuti wakho uSeth etshata kwinyanga ephelileyo. Siyavuyisana naye nosapho lonke. Ungandixelela nto ngomsitho? Wena kwafuneka wenze (umkhondo wakho kwi-albhamu ka-2009 Mna noLuthando nawe Ngomtshato kaJanuwari.
[Ehleka] Akunjalo kwaphela! Ngokwenyani, utata wam wenza ingoma, eyayikhetheke kakhulu, kwaye ndangumtshato. Ke bekukho uhlobo olwahlukileyo lokwenziwa okuqhubekayo. Kwakungekho nkulu; besinabantu abangaphantsi kwekhulu. Yayintle ngandlela zonke. Yayilusuku olukhetheke kakhulu kwaye ekwakukudala sijonge phambili kulo. Kwakumnandi ngokwenene ukunikela ubungqina ngaloo nto kwaye uyonwabele nabantu obathandayo. Kwakunzima.
Ndingacinga ukuba uSeth angaba nomtshato omnandi kuba iingoma zimnandi kwaye zithandana. Ke ndiyacinga ukuba ayothusi into yokuba umtshato wakhe wokwenyani uza kuba mhle kwaye uthandane, naye.
Ubomi bokwenyani abuhlali bunothando njengoko iingcinga zethu zinokuba njalo, kodwa usondela kangangoko emtshatweni nabantu ababini abathandanayo. Ke, ewe ulungile.
Kwaye uliciko, naye. Ndiyathemba ukuba uthethile kulo msitho.
[Ehleka] Ndithe ezinye izinto ezininzi.

Ngokucacileyo ukhule nomntakwenu uSeth. Kudala nisenza kunye. Ngaba isizathu sokuba ninamathele kunye kuba niyafana? Okanye kungenxa yokuba nahlukile kwaye nizalisa izikhewu zomnye nomnye?
Ewe, zombini ezo zinto kunye nazo zonke ezo zinto. Asinakwahlulwa. Ukususela esemncinci kakhulu, wayexinezela kwaye wagxininisa kuloo mbophelelo, apho ndandingu-bhuti omdala owayedla ngokubona uSeth njengomntu ondibiza ngokungafuni ukundishiya ndedwa xa sisebancinci. Ndiyangqina ngoku nabantwana bam.
Ndiyaqikelela endaweni yokuvumela iyantlukwano zethu zisitsalele kubomi, ndibone ukuba nangaliphi na ixesha siphambili kwingxaki siyaxinana sizise ezoyantlukwano kunye. Sithetha ngabo, sichitha ixesha kunye nabo, kwaye siyabamkela okanye sibashiye bodwa. Kodwa kunqabile. Ukufana kwethu kugqame ngakumbi kunokwahluka kwethu, kodwa umahluko wethu uyinyani, ubalulekile kwaye uvumelekile, kwaye yile nto isincedayo ukuba sibe yileyunithi.
Ukuthetha ngomtshato, kunye nam kunye nenkosikazi yam sahluke kakhulu kodwa loo mahluko zizinto ezenza ukuba sihlangane ukuze sikwazi ukuphatha imiba emininzi edinga umbono ongaphezulu kwesinye.
Kudala nisenza umculo kunye ixesha elide. Eli licwecwe lakho lesithoba. Akuninzi amaqela enza ukuba i-albhamu yesithoba. Nge-albhamu yesibini, oko kuhlala kunjalo… ukuba kunjalo. Ngaba ivakalelwa njengee-albhamu ezisithoba?
Ulungile. Zonke iicwecwe kunye nako konke ukurekhoda esikwenzileyo kususela kusuku lokuqala, nangaphambi kwa-Avett Brothers xa besirekhoda izinto kwiikhasethi kunye ne-8-track, kuthi yayiyinto entsha eqhumayo eyayiza kuvula amehlo ehlabathi kuthi .
Ngalo lonke ixesha sisenza into, siphupha ukuba iyakuba yile nto itshintshe yonke into kuthi. Into ehlekisayo kukuba yayikukujonga ngasemva besisoloko siziva siphumelele kuthi, ke ngekhe kwafuneka sibenomvuzo oqhelekileyo owabelweyo kaHey, uwenzile. Singene kuyo siziva ukuba sele sizinkwenkwezi, nto leyo sasingeyiyo, kwaye saziva isidingo sokwenza oko.
Ndicinga ukuba isidingo semvelo sokwenza ukuba siyinxalenye yokwenza kwethu, kwaye ngenxa yoko siye sakwazi ukuqhubeka siyenza. Akuzange kubekho ndawo apho sathi, Kutheni usenza enye? Eyokugqibela ibingacatshulwanga-ungacaphuli ‘uphumelele.’ Yayiyiyo, Kutheni usenza enye? Kuba yindlela esiphila ngayo kunye nokuphefumla. Anditsho ukuba ayisoze itshintshe, kodwa ibinjalo ixesha elide kangangokuba ngoku sinje.

Enye into enomdla kunye neyodwa malunga nabafana kukuba uhlala ukhula kwi-albhamu ukuya kwi-albhamu. Ndicinga nasemva kweentsuku zokuqala xa uqala ukusebenza nomvelisi owaziwayo uRick Rubin, yayiyinto enkulu kakhulu leyo. Ngoku ukuqhubeka nokusebenza noRick, kuhlala kukho imeko yokukhula. Ngaba leyo ibiyinjongo okanye yinto yendalo nje?
Indalo yendalo, ngokuqinisekileyo. Kwenzeka into efanayo kubomi bethu bokhenketho. Kwakungekho njongo enkulu xa siqala. Xa [i-bassist] uBob Crawford ebhukisha uhambo lwethu lokuqala, khange silindele ukuba ukhenketho lwesibini lube khona. Sikwenzile oko sicinga ukuba linyathelo elilandelayo elo.
Ngenkqubo yokurekhoda yayiyinto enye, ubuya nayo into oyiqokelele kwialbham yokugqibela kwaye wenze eyona ilungileyo. Eyona ilungileyo kwi yethu amehlo. Anditsho ukuba yeyona nto iphumelele kakhulu okanye ithengiswe kakhulu, kodwa yenza elandelayo ibe yeyona ilungileyo apho siya khona sikude kakhulu. Ke ulungile, ibe yinto yendalo.
Ndicinga ukuba kufuneka ndikubuze ngokusemthethweni malunga nokuba kunjani ukusebenza noRick Rubin, kuba ndiqinisekile ukuba wonke umntu uhlala ekubuza loo nto. Ke endaweni yoko, ndiyazibuza ukuba yintoni ebeka uRick ahluke kubo bonke abanye abantu? Kuwe, kutheni ehlonitshwa kangaka.
[Ehleka] Ewe, ndingathetha kuphela ngolwalamano lwakhe nathi, ngokucacileyo. Asinawo amava amaninzi kunye nabanye abavelisi, abanye apha naphaya-abanye abavelisi abamangalisayo.
Incoko kunye nathi noRick soze malunga nokuba yintoni le nto siyenzayo izakusenzela yona [umsebenzi-wobulumko]. Ngapha koko, xa sisenza ingoma evakala ngathi yipoppy okanye efana nayo kunokuba ikunomathotholo, unokuba nezimvo ezinje, Ingayinto entle ukuba uyafuna ukuhamba ngaloo ndlela. Ngaphandle kwekhafu. Kuye, konke kugxile ekwenzeni eyona nto intle esinakho. Akungomhla wokugqibela okanye uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali, kuba loo nto ayinanto yakwenza nokunika into ixesha kunye nendawo ekufuneka ikhule.
Awuxeleli umthi owutyalileyo, Kulungile, ufike kwangoSeptemba 2030 ukuba ube mkhulu kwaye ugcwale kuba ilungile phambi kweKrisimesi. Oko kuyenzeka kwihlabathi lomculo, kodwa hayi ngenkampu yethu.
Kunye nathi noRick, sigxile kwifilosofi yokudibanisa ukuyivumela ukuba ibe yeyona nto ibalaseleyo, kwaye oko kuthatha ixesha elininzi. Ifilosofi leyo ibisempilweni kuthi. Kuyinxalenye yesizathu sokuba sinciphise isantya ngokunjalo, kuba sizivumele ukuba senze njalo.

Ugula kangakanani abantu ababuzayo okanye abangachazi kakuhle nokuba yi-Av-Vett okanye i-A-vett. Ngaba ukhe ucinge, Masizibize ngokuba ngabakwaSmith Brothers kwaye siqhubeke noku.
[Ehleka] Kulungile, ndinguye kwiqela lokuthetha, Ewe, ukuba umntu uthi u-Av-Vett, ndingubani mna ukuba ndingathi kufanele ukuba kubizwe ngenye indlela. Yitsho kodwa. Andikho mcebisi wabantu abalungisa omnye umntu. Wonke umntu kufuneka athethe ngendlela afuna ukuthetha ngayo, kulungile nam.
Makhe sithethe ngesihloko sale albhamu: Usizi lwenene . Ngubani. Elo binzana, usizi lokwenyani, livakala ngathi liphantsi. Andicingi ukuba i-albhamu iyinto engezantsi, nangona kunjalo. Ndiyazi ukuba ligama lengoma ekwi-albhamu, kodwa kutheni ubiza yonke loo nto?
Ewe, ngokomxholo besithetha ngezo ngoma bezimele. Asisoze isihloko serekhodi ngaphambi kokuba siyazi into esiyithethayo. Ukusukela kwinkqubo yethu yokugqibela yokurekhoda, ubomi butshintshe kakhulu kuthi sonke. Kakhulu . Baninzi ngakumbi abantwana ebomini bethu, kukho iinguqu ezininzi ezibi ebomini ezenzekileyo. Kwaye into esiphume nayo, ngaphandle kolo tshintsho ebomini, kukuba besingakwazi ukubhiyozela ulonwabo lobomi ngaphandle kokwazi ezo ntlungu ziyinyani.
Anditsho ukuba awungekhe wonwabe de uve iintlungu ezinzima, ngokuqinisekileyo unokuba, ndibubungqina obuphilayo bokuba. Kodwa emva, uyayiqonda umbulelo ongaphaya kweziganeko ezibuhlungu eziguqula ubomi. Ndibone abantu abangqonge mna abasebenzisa loo nto. Ndiyababona bebonwabela ubomi kwaye babusebenzisa ubomi ngendlela ethembekileyo. Ke ngoku xa kuthethwa, usizi lokwenyani kunokwenzeka ukuba lubangela umbulelo wobomi, oyinxalenye yovuyo.
Kwiphepha layo, kukho i-dichotomy apha apho usizi lokwenyani lunokujongwa njengolusizi ngokwenyani nolusizi kancinane. Imifanekiso eluhlobo lweqweqwe iyimizekelo yoluvo; ukungabikho kwezixhobo, abantu abasesichengeni kwihlabathi eliza kuthi ekugqibeleni libahlafune libadle.

Kuyathakazelisa kuba xa uhlangabezana neentlungu ezinzima okanye usizi lokwenyani lweziganeko zobomi ezibuhlungu, okwenzekayo emva koko kukuba kungakusondeza emadolweni okanye ungafunda kuwo. Kwaye kunomdla ngendlela, ngexesha onokucinga ngalo ukuba kutheni kusenzeka nje oku? Kodwa njengokuba ixesha lihamba, ususa izinto kuyo. Ubuncinci kuwe, kuya kuba yintsikelelo ukuba ngumbhali weengoma ukuthatha ezi mvakalelo unazo kwaye uzibhale phantsi. Ababaninzi abantu abaya kuyazi okanye bayenze indlela yokwenza oko. Ngaba ubhala umculo wecathartic wakho?
Yi. Ukungabi nanto malunga nayo, kodwa kunjalo kunjalo. Ndijika kuyo ngamaxesha amnyama ebomini bam. Uxinzelelo oluqhelekileyo lobomi aluthethwanga ngokwaneleyo ukuba luyinto nje eqhelekileyo ebomini. Ndiyazi ukuba kum, ngamaxesha okuphelelwa lithemba, ukudakumba, kunye neengcinga ezingenathemba, ukujikela emculweni akuzange kusilele kum.
Amaxesha ngamaxesha ukubona ukuba oko kwenzelwa umntu. Kodwa hayi rhoqo. Kungenxa yoko le nto sigqibezela le ntsalela inkulu kakhulu yeengoma ezingaze zikubone ukukhanya kwemini, kuba sizijonga ngaloo ndlela kwaye lunyango oluthile kuthi.
Makhe sithethe kancinci malunga nenkqubo yakho yokubhala ingoma, kuba olunye uluvo endinalo ngani bafana kukuba amazwi akho ahlala enzulu kwaye etyebile kwaye ecekethekile kwaye, ubukhulu becala, eyimbongi. Ndinomdla wokuba unenkqubo okanye ukuba ihlala itshintsha. Njengaye, ngaba uyakhupha iphedi yomthetho kwaye ubhale amazwi phantsi ngepeni emva koko ungene kwisitudiyo, okanye ngaba ukhupha ikatala kwaye ubethe ezinye iindlela zokudlala? Ingaba isebenza kanjani?
[Ehleka]
Akukho pad esemthethweni?
Ndakhe ndeva imibuzo efana nale ibuzwa kwaye abanye amagcisa bayiphendula ngendlela eyiyo. Ndikhumbula ndisiva ngenkqubo kaBruce Springsteen apho wayenenqwaba yeencwadana kwaye kufana nejunkyard yeembono. Sebenzisa ukusebenza kwi Usizi lwenene njengomzekelo, xa sasiphuma sisiya eMalibu ukurekhoda ndandinebhokisi yobisi ezaliswe phezulu ngamajenali, isixhobo sokurekhoda, iincwadana, iincwadana, amaphepha kunye namaphepha eencwadana ehotele aqokelelwe ngokuhamba kwexesha.
Inqaku eliphambili kukuba andiyeki ukubhala. Kuhlala kufana nokuphila nokuphefumla. Ke, ngexesha lenkqubo yokuhlela kunye nam noSeth, siza kuyaphula kwaye sibone ukuba yintoni umbongo kwaye yintoni engekhoyo. Ndicinga ukuba nabani na anganabo obo budlelwane ngamagama; yinto eyakhayo ngokwayo ekuhambeni kwexesha. Imilonji ngalo naliphi na ixesha izakundivulela kumazwi angenasiseko kwaphela, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha kuyamangalisa ukuba liliphi ilitye olityhilayo.
Nangona, andizukutsho ukuba uncuthu aluzi kuqala. Into ebalulekileyo kukuqonda ukuba kufanelekile ukulandela ntoni kunye nokuleqa kunye nokukholelwa kuwe ukuba olu luvo lukho jikelele. Siyazi ukuba uninzi lwezinto esizithethayo okanye esizikholelwayo okanye esikhubeka kuzo sele zithethiwe okanye zikholelwe okanye zakhubeka ngaphambili. Into endiyithethayo kukuba inxulumene nokungaphezulu kunathi, ke sizama nje ukuyilandela.

Ngaphandle kwawo wonke umculo, ndiyazi ukuba ungumzobi omangalisayo. Hayi 1, ungene njani ekupeyinteni, kunye no-2, unalo njani ixesha lokupeyinta?
Ewe, ngekhe ndidlale umculo ukuba ibingengowokupeyinta. Ndingumculi, kodwa mhlawumbi ndingumculi obonwayo kuqala. Ndi—
Ngokwenene? Ngaba uzijonga njengomculi obonwayo kuqala ngaphambi komculo?
Ewe. [Ehleka] Ngenxa yokuba ndiyenzile ixesha elide. Ewe, andifanelanga ukuthi. Ndihlala ndizenza kunye. Ndicinga ukuba ndihlala ndicinga ngokubonakalayo. Naxa ndibhala ndicinga ngokubonakalayo kwaye ndiziva ngathi yonke into iyahla ukusuka apho. Andipendi njengokuba ndibhala amazwi okanye ndidlala isixhobo ngoku. Ndenza umculo ube yinto ephambili ngoku, kodwa kufuneka ndisebenze ukuyenza loo nto iphambili.
Ndithatha isigqibo ngawo nawuphi na umzuzu ngonyaka ukuba ndiza kugxila kumculo okanye kumculo, kwaye ndiyayenza loo nto. Kodwa andizange ndibe nolawulo lokujolisa kwam ekupeyinteni okanye xa kuza kuza. Ndizixelele ngaphambili ukuba ndizakuvala isitudiyo sam sokupeyinta kuba sisiphazamiso okanye asindikhonzi kwaye zingaphelanga iinyanga ezimbini ndibuyile apho kuba andinakuhlala kude. Andizange ndithathe ngaphezulu kweenyanga ezili-10 ndapeyinta ebomini bam okoko ndaqala ukupeyinta kwikholeji ndineminyaka eli-18, 19 ubudala. Kubaluleke kakhulu kum.
Kuya kufuneka ndibeke ixesha elininzi emculweni kuba andinasiphiwo sendalo emculweni. Ndizama nje ukulandela indlela umntu abiza ngayo nokuthetha kakhulu kum. Ndifuna isazela sam sikhokele eso simangalo kwaye okukhona ndikhula, kokukhona ndiziva ndinyanisekile kuloo nto. Oko kuthethiweyo, ngeli xesha ngeli xesha, eli xesha lonyaka lichithwe kakhulu kugxile kumculo nakwimazwi kwaye zithetha ntoni kum.

Olunye uluvo ebendisoloko ndinalo kuni ngabantu kukuba ninocwangciso lokutyelela olungaxoleli. I-Zig-zagging kwilizwe liphela, idlala kwiminyhadala, endleleni kwaye irekhoda kakhulu ngemveliso engakholelekiyo. Unalo njani ixesha lokuphila ubomi obuqhelekileyo kwaye ungazisongeli kwaye uphulukane nokunxibelelana nenyani kwaye ungabhali iingoma kuphela malunga nokukhenketha okanye ubomi endleleni.
Ewe, andikukhonzi ukutyelela, ngokuqinisekileyo. Intsingiselo, ndigcina ingqondo yam kunye nentliziyo yam nabantu endibathandayo kwaye ndizama ukuqinisekisa ukuba ndenza izinto endizenzayo egameni labo nakwimbeko yabo. Umzekelo, ndizakuhlala ndinxibelelana nosapho lwam kunye nobomi bam basekhaya ngokugoduka onke amathuba endinawo. Ukuba unayo impelaveki yasimahla, ndinqwenela ukuya ekhaya. Ndidinga ukwenza oko ukuze ndihlale ndinxibelelana ngokobuqu.
Ngokwasemoyeni nasemphefumlweni, ndiyazi ukuba ukwenza umsebenzi wam ngembeko yabo xa bengekho, emva koko andizukukhumbula nje ukuba ndibaphosile okanye ndibuyisele ubomi obuqhelekileyo ngokunqula le ndlela yokuphila.
Umlingane wam ekhaya unesivumelwano nam kwaye ndizophuma ndiyokwenza eyam indima, kwaye bayayikhathalela eyabo indawo kwaye sihlala siqhagamshelene kwaye sihambelana ngenxa yalonto. Ndiyazi ukuba kuyavakala ngathi yinto ebambekayo, kodwa ezo zinto zilula zenza ubomi obuqhelekileyo.
