...agent's assistant at William Morris Agency also confirmed today that the musician would be performing at Harvard in April...
...Tyler's older brother Michael, a sensitive musician, committed suicide on his own 22nd birthday; in Tyler's mind, it was all the fault of his father Charles (Pierce Brosnan) for pressuring Michael into joining his white shoe law firm. It seems unlikely that the drudgery of paralegal work actually pushed Michael over the edge, but we have plenty more evidence that Charles is an awful father. His refusal to pay any attention to Tyler's little sister Caroline (Ruby Jerins) seems pathological, especially since she is, like Tyler, straight out of Salinger: wise beyond her years, talented and soulful...
...semblance of cohesion, where the styles fight furiously against each other to dominate. At the other end, the collaboration can result in an album greater than the sum of its two parts, where the combined styles complement each other so that an entirely novel sound emerges, one that neither musician could have produced alone.

...musician you straddle two music communities, the indie scene and the more traditional orchestral symphony scene. Where do you see yourself when it comes to those two worlds? Do you think they should interact more? I sometimes feel like they should interact less! Or if they interact as much as they do, it should maybe be planned better. I'm not going to name names, but I see things from time to time that feel like arbitrary collaborations...
