John Frusciante to release experimental acid house album on April 7th of 2015. The label Acid Test is a vinyl-focused label and it has released 303-oriented dance music from Tin Man, Pépé Bradock, Achterbahn D'Amour and now John Frusciante.

John Frusciante describes his path to acid house in a letter included with the album.

"I started being serious about following my dream to make electronic music, and to be my own engineer, five years ago. For the 10 years prior to that, I had been playing guitar along with a wide range of different types of programmed synthesizer and sample-based music, emulating what I heard as best as I could. I found that the languages machines forced programmers to think in had caused them to discover a new musical vocabulary...

In 2007, I started to learn how to program all the instruments we associate with acid house music and some other hardware. For about seven months I didn’t record anything. Then I started recording, playing 10 or so synced machines through a small mixer into a CD burner. This was all experimental acid house, my skills at making rock music playing no part in it whatsoever. I had lost interest in traditional songwriting and I was excited about finding new methods for creating music. I’d surround myself with machines, program one and then another and enjoy what was a fascinating process from beginning to end…"

The Empyrean 6 years after

At the day 20 of January it'll be 6 years since we've got this amazing album, titled The Empyrean, this is my preferred set of musics from John Frusciante. John once said:
 "a single story both musically and lyrically."
I personally believe and understood this album as John Frusciante's biography, mostly how he see, approaches, understands and believes in spiritual world. Coming from the creation, passing through dark and light, being the center of all, discovering who he is really and what's his role in the world and closing with a special closure, what will happen after the ending.

It is a remarkable album you all should (re)listen to it. I hope we can listen a new Frusciante album soon. Sorry to let my personal opinion lead this article but THIS IS THE BEST ALBUM EVER MADE.

One of the (deliberately) secrets...

How about play 3x faster Before the Beginning and at normal speed After the Ending.

BBC: Rock’s irreplaceable guitarists? (yeah, John Frusciante is in it)

For John Frusciante of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, business had nothing to do with his decision to leave – just the opposite, in fact. The 1991 Blood Sugar Sex Magik album shot the punk-funk band into the mainstream, and ended up selling more than 13 million copies worldwide. But the quartet's newfound rock-star status troubled Frusciante, who abruptly quit in 1992. "Too high, too far, too soon," the guitarist later said, trying to explain his departure. Drugs and mental illness bedevilled him, before he returned to the Chili Peppers in 1997 for a second tour of duty, only to depart again in 2009.
Though the circumstances of Frusciante's departure on both occasions remain murky, what can't be disputed is that the Chili Peppers made their best music while the guitarist was in the band. For many fans, the Chili Peppers’ most beloved albums were made with him in the line-up: Blood Sugar Sex Magik and Californication in 1999.

Anthony Kiedis Discusses John Frusciante’s Struggles With Fame

“It should have been impossibly difficult, but it was as easy as could be. There was something about him that transcended being a typical fan, because he was a fan of many other musicians as well, we weren’t his primary focus. We were one of several bands and musicians that sparked his imagination in a big way that he had studied, but he had done the same with Frank Zappa and tons of others. The longer I knew him, the more I came to know how deep his wealth of knowledge about music was. He wasn’t alive long enough to learn all that stuff, but he learned it. The transition was we were very obnoxious individuals at that point in our life, just brash, young, stupid, rude, and self-centered.

We were crass little bastards to be honest, later we grew up, and thank goodness people didn’t write us off at that point. But he made it easy, he made it fun, he was such a student of music and arrangements. I just needed to show him the tiniest idea of a song, like I’ve got this verse, I’ve got this little melody, and he’d be like, ‘Great, come in the backyard and let’s finish it.’ Somehow that barrier of him being a fan of the band didn’t exist, it washed away the second we shook hands and went and played.”

 “He was young, and beautiful, and talented, and suddenly had a few bucks in his pocket. I think that level of adoration is just difficult for human beings, I don’t think anybody receives a disproportionate amount of adoration and handles it gracefully. It’s awkward, you become too full of yourself, too egotistical, too self-centered, because everybody is flushing you with this attention. There’s no way anybody handles that well. Some people end up dying because of it, like child actors, ‘You’re the greatest thing ever. Oh – you went through puberty, next.’ That’s a hard thing to go through, and I think it was hard for John, I think it affected him in a rough way.

I don’t think he was built for that so much, so things got weird and changed quickly. We did a lot in a short amount of time, and it evaporated quickly, then he came back and we did a lot more. But as far as him being a fan, and us being the band, we were clearly meant to play music together, and to write songs together, and have the weird chaotic experiences that we had. I’ll always be grateful and consider myself so lucky to have met that other person that I can sit down and write music with so effortlessly.”

Shadows Collide With People from Frusciante is quoted

John Frusciante's album Shadows Collide With People was quoted arts & entertainment academy of Rochester.

“And you can function as someone besides who you are,” John Frusciante sings on his 2004 solo album, “Shadows Collide With People.” Lyrics like this are what make “Shadows” so brilliant. Frusciante subtly shifts conventional binaries and clichés and delivers them with such quiet confidence that his unconventional views almost pass you by. Unlike many other singer-songwriter albums, “Shadows” isn’t a statement on personal torture. Rather, it’s one of disenchanted peace with the idea that nothing is real. On the track “Relief,” Frusciante sings “And all things shoot through me / and all things shoot through you” over a cycle of open guitar chords that never quite resolve but don’t introduce tension either. While it might sound unspectacular on paper, Frusciante’s inventive songwriting tendencies, distinctive guitar playing, and colorful arrangements make it anything but. On the album, Frusciante employs a palette of mellotrons, acoustic guitar, bubbly synths, and Strat tones, making an ethereal chime that echoes the sound on The Beatles’ “Rubber Soul.” The texture is appropriate for the album – bright like the morning sun yet still ominous, “Shadows” is the sound of darkness and awakening. When Frusciante sings “Cause what you need you are,” you realize it all comes from within, without, everywhere, and nowhere.

Chad Smith quotes John Frusciante in a recent interview - 2014

"The Chili Peppers changed our lives."
Gossard

In an interview given to Music Radar,  Chad Smith remember about a conversation with John Frusciante around the band; Pearl Jam.

Smith says. "I remember thinking Stone was a cool guy who liked to hang with our crew guys, so much so that our old guitarist, John Frusciante, came out to watch their set one night and said to me, 'What's the Pearl Jam roadie playing guitar for?'" He laughs and says, "That was rad Stone he was talking about!"

John Frusciante's new interview June 2014 - Noisey

After some time without news, I bring an apparent new interview from NoiSey.

Here's some little text from interview:

Noisey: How did you start making electronic music?
 About a year before I rejoined the Red Hot Chili Peppers I could see in my head that my style of songwriting and electronic instruments would work really well together...

Music as possession?Yeah, I don’t think people should think of their written songs as their possession...

What’s missing for you?In the last twenty years, I've wished hip-hop had more samples....
