Fletcher is a true musical talent who finds his art in the chaos and serendipitous nature of the world around us.". Fletcher then analyzes the performance and meticulously chooses the songs best and strongest attributes. I feel the freedom to let my interpretation of the music to flow as it will naturally. His tactics are liberating yet understood. Fletcher is precise and focused on what he is in search of in the sonic realm. In House of Glass Dolls, Fletcher Kaufman embraces an exotic pallet of musical styles, rhythms, and timbres to create something sonically diverse-but unified enough to swallow whole." - Īlex Callenberger - "My work with Fletcher Kaufman has been both inspiring and transcendental. I admire how Fletcher embraces and incorporates musical practices, traditions, and theories from around the world and throughout musical history into his own personal experience and interpretation of music." - Val LaCerra - "When I finally heard Put it On with Alex Callenberger and Seth Olinsky's contributions, and moreover the complete House of Glass Dolls, I admit I reveled in my contribution to something so novel and even groundbreaking. There is a pure, primal energy that he's after, and that makes for great music.
I never know what Fletcher might want from me, musically speaking, but I always know when he's got it because he starts bobbing his head ecstatically.

I think that this is ultimately just one more country, one more planet, in the universe of sound and song that Fletcher will create in our world. Small enough and filled with so many books and records that he had to lean the bed up against the wall in the daytime to work on his music. It is the world of sound that only Fletcher could craft in that little room of his, surrounded by books on Indian Classical music and Death Metal, obscure vinyl, parts of skeletons and art film videocassettes. The songs and sounds all fit into their own outsider world. The arrangements folded in upon themselves but always the songs were there holding it all together-both personal and mythical-outsider and simple-all sung and performed with total commitment.
The songs took shape, then would fall apart and take shape in a totally new direction. I also got to play some guitar and drums!?! and had Miles play some bass on the songs. He'd come over and play me the songs or the new arrangements and we'd brainstorm possible directions to take it in. When I heard he had a new batch of songs he was working on I approached him about helping him to produce them.įletcher is never short on ideas, so I acted more as a sounding board. He loaded me up with box sets of strange four track recordings, drones, falsetto noise pop hits, electronic smashes and soundtracks to unmade Italian art house films. Fletcher it turns out had taken his dad's penchant for strange song, combined it with deep study into the music theories of various traditions and developed it into an entire world of outsider recordings. Several years later I met and gave a few guitar lessons to Fletcher before I moved to New York City, but didn't really get to know him and work together until I moved back to Pennsylvania after burning out on Brooklyn and needing some space. The melody was odd and as best I can remember the only lyrics were actually Coke, Bottle, and Song. Kaufman would sing a strange and bizarre little song called the Coke bottle song. As students would daily drift into class, Mr. Kaufman, was my 6th grade art teacher at Curtin Middle School in Williamsport, PA. Seth Olinksy - "Fletcher Kaufman's dad, Mr.
