Anwar and the Masters is Anwar and the Masters is musician and technical expert Hoob and producer and not-really-a-musician Burton Nairobi, with the gracious and tendentious contributions of other local eccentrics who share our psychological tendencies and moral proclivities. It has been sad that we resemble oxen (stories of horns not being able to fit through the door), while at other times, birds. Yes we do suffer, we will admit, from an elevated blood temperature and a strong need to be close to water.
Now at long last, A&tM's first collection of compositional end-results has emerged on a "compact disc." The compact disc may be purchased from the little CD Baby, or more specifically, www.cdbaby.com/cd/anwarmasters.
How did something like this ever come into being? We don’t know. We were hoping you might. It was neither starlit nor breezy. We remember putting our hands against a very warm, large, domestic animal at one point and wondering if its massive heart (required to shwoosh blood through all that blocky flesh that a family might devour one night in a frenzy of dark wine-red gobbling mouth-drip grins), yes the large heart might somehow invoke factors, principled or otherwise, or other hermeneutic shaping influences, to guide us in the recording. We don’t think that happened, and some people were unhappy. The guy holding the ocelot cried.
At one point one of the walls got into an argument with the ceiling about who should be on top. The ceiling pointed out to the wall that it was not a matter of simply trading places as the ceiling had a lot of top of it, it couldn’t just move, etc. Sometimes we would sing, and the sound would get sucked into the walls. Hours would go by. Then the sky would turn red. It wasn’t easy. We recorded using equipment.
Anwar and the Masters do not tour as we find life “on the road†to be tantamount to shopping for cabbage at a CoffinMart. We sincerely hope however that our debut recording motivates either you, a part of you, or someone you don’t know.
