Steve Geuting Interview
Gruvis Malt were a band that combined a multitude of genres ranging from Jazz, Reggae, Funk, Hip Hop, experimental and progressive rock. If you're unfamiliar with the band I'd highly recommend checking any of their albums. Which are some of my favourite releases to date.
I previously had the chance to interview Gavin Castelton who played keys for them. Here's my interview with the Steve Geuting who played guitar in the band.

Next week, I will be speaking in New York at this conference. For reasons I do not understand, they have asked for all the papers to be submitted in advance, and say they will give them out to whoever comes to hear the talks. To my mind, this makes the conference itself superfluous &#; why sit through a bunch of talks, when you can read them much more easily and quickly? But whatever.
In any case, here is my talk on &#;The Aesthetics of Workflow.&#; My initial plan was much more ambitious &#; in addition to speaking about Anthony Mandler&#;s video for Rihanna&#;s &#;Disturbia&#;, I was also going to discuss two other music videos: Grant Singer&#;s video for Sky Ferreira&#;s &#;Night Time, My Time&#;, and Tom Beard and FKA twigs&#; video for FKA twigs&#; &#;Papi Pacify&#;.
