Life Expressed Through Sound: Walk Down The Street by Robert Nix Inspiration is everywhere. Walk down the street and take a look around and you’ll find inspiration is right before your very eyes, ready to be made into music or art. Musician Robert Nix of Toronto took that inspiration and made it into an album. “Walk Down The Street” is a guided tour on an avenue crowded with contradictions. Walk down a busy city street and we're bombarded by images of glamorous people we'll never be, lifestyles we'll never have, expensive stuff we'll never own, and beautiful celebrities we'll never know. It's a landscape owned by the few and populated by the many who are part of it but feel like outsiders. Nix doesn't just see the world; he feels, experiences, and translates it into music. He draws inspiration from sources right in front of our eyes yet difficult to notice. It's easy to overlook all of this when there's so much to look at, easy to miss the important things when everything else blends together into a continuous message of commercialism and exploitation. So in his music, Nix changes tempo to draw attention to a section of a song that might otherwise get lost in the mix. Or he'll strip away all other sound and let one instrument speak. His lyrics are like a bittersweet diary and his lines are coloured with off-notes and tempo changes heard in experimental music like the psychedelic period of The Beatles, early Pink Floyd with Syd Barrett, Devo, and R.E.M. Sometimes life can't be expressed in the Major key. A world full of discord can only be expressed with some dissonance. Nix reminds some listeners of '80s New Wave music driven by synth but also guitar and multi-part vocals, of which Devo is one of the most memorable. Listeners who weren't around for that musical revolution are reminded of modern acts like LCD Soundsystem.
