Kenny Gray - Shuffle Synchronicities - Demolicious Derby

After asking the Shuffle Synchronicity for guidance on whether to start making live videos with musicians and getting “Synchrogazer” by Nana Mizuki.With Synchro the root world of Synchronicity and gazer to gaze or view like a video…Out of 122,000 songs it felt like a meaningful musical coincidence to evolve the project!And after motivation from appearing on Laura Scarpati’s The Woo Report podcast…I’m happy to release the first Shuffle Synchronicities Live Video :)With musician/comedian Kenny Gray!In support of his new album Demolicious Derby!What Is Shuffle Synchronicities???The idea is simple: You ask the Universe a question, shuffle a playlist, and use the resulting song—its title, artist, lyrics, and vibe—to find insight that helps guide you. You can think of it like Music Tarot. On TikTok, it's trending a bit as #Shufflemancy.I'm now bringing this to video and podcast, similar to Subway Takes by Kareem Rahma, but with musicians.We meet up with a musician and talk about their new work.The musician then asks a personal or professional question on their mind that day, they shuffle one of their favorite playlists, and we analyze the results.Then, in return, I ask a personal or professional question of my own and shuffle a playlist of their work, exploring the guidance that emerges for me from their music.Kenny Gray and I talk about his identity crisis of music versus comedy, what’s the difference between parody versus pastiche, why don’t more artists work in more genres, how The Artist's Way inspired his process, and how Kenny turned 32 popular internet demos into a wonderfully eclectic album…that is so him...Kenny then shuffles for guidance about bringing his album onto the stage...And I shuffle from his new album for guidance about a collab with a Substack Shufflemancy Sibling...Fun, Surprising, and Helpful results ensued!Follow @k3nnygrayand@_davecowen_ and @shufflesynchronicities Get full access to Shuffle Synchronicities 🔀✨ Ask The Music at shufflesynchronicities.substack.com/subscribe
