    A Sunday Conversation with Vanessa Kafka

    Coming by the Ripple office to join us today, fresh off the dynamite release of her debut album, Into Place, Vannessa Kafka takes up residence on the Ripple couch and chats with us a bit, sharing her thoughts on music and the songwriting process. A singer-songwriter with a tender, yearning voice of uncommon beauty, just brimming with emotion, Into Place shouldn't be missed by anyone who likes good music.

    When I was a kid, growing up in a house with Cat Stevens, Neil Diamond, and Simon and Garfunkle, the first time I ever hear Kiss's "Detroit Rock City," it was a moment of musical epiphany. It was just so vicious, aggressive and mean. It changed the way I looked at music, what it could sound like, how it could make me feel?

     

    What have been your musical epiphany moments?


    Geez, what a question to start with. I basically grew up listening to whatever my Dad’s musical taste was that week or month (changed pretty frequently…my family listened to everything). My earliest memories are of the Beatles, Emmy Lou Harris, Johnny Cash. But then there was like all this other crazy New Age music in there, classical, Gregorian chants, Latin, Native American…you name it…if it was “worldly” my family was listening to it. As a result, whatever was actually on mainstream radio in the US was what I WASN’T listening to. I think my first musical epiphany moment was when I went over to my friend Jason’s place who lived down the street (he also exposed me to the world of GI Joes, Legos and video games). I think he’d gotten a new Lego castle set or something that day so he invited me over to play. He stuck a tape into his boombox -Michael Jackson’s Bad. I was like, blown away.
