New York, NY (September 25, 2020) – In celebration of what would have
been Glenn Gould’s 88th birthday, Primary Wave and Division 88 have
partnered to bring you, Uninvited Guests. Available everywhere through Sony
Masterworks on October 23, the 9-track album was produced by Toronto’s
Billy Wild, with additional production by Gabriel Pick, Alex Kotyk, and Andrew
Testa, and features appearances by Division 88 – a collective of
up-and-coming artists. Ranging from hip-hop to electronic, Uninvited Guests
offers a look at how artists today would interpret Gould’s classic and
most celebrated performances. Listeners will be taken on a ride via
Wild’s creative production. Featuring Chief Awuah, Your Hunni, AARYS, Ro
Joaquim, Gabriel Pick, Kiki Rowe, and DOPE FA$E, Gould’s historic catalog
shines with lyrics and melodies from these current day musicians.
Having once been shunned by the classical music community for his views on the
future role of technology in music, within today’s artistic landscape,
the Uninvited Guests project would have been an important dream fulfilled for
Glenn Gould.

Leading up to release day, Billy Wild will be taking over the Glenn Gould
YouTube channel to share behind the scenes footage on the making of the album.
He’ll continue the take-over twice a week and will also post tutorials,
Glenn Gould history, and more.

“Uninvited Guests started 7 years ago as a challenge on whether or not
Glenn Gould could be made to sound current,” says producer Billy Wild. He
continued, “The main thing I learned on Gould is that he truly belonged in
this generation. The number of things you can do these days on a laptop from a
musical perspective is incredible and I feel confident the current technology
would have suited his desire to create great recordings.”

“Everything we do at Primary Wave is about preserving the legacy of our
artists while also trying to broaden their audience,” said Jordan Moran,
Director of Digital Marketing at Primary Wave. He continued, “Billy Wild
does just that with Uninvited Guests. Billy created a new sound that not only
preserves Gould’s eccentric and quirky recordings but modernizes them to
suit today’s musical landscape.”

Faye Perkins, former manager of the Glenn Gould Estate, added, “Billy Wild
quickly became an integral part of the Glenn Gould Estate’s marketing
strategy because of his innate knowledge and respect for Glenn Gould’s
musical legacy. His collaborations with other artists demonstrate his acumen as
a musician and a producer. Having him share Glenn Gould’s essays and
ideas in a different musical language is what we call very Gouldian.”

Primary Wave was first introduced to Billy Wild and his love for Gould when the
company partnered with him on the “Glenn Gould Exhibit” in 2018. At
that time, “Uninvited Guests” was a project from Wild’s
Division 88, a Toronto-based collective, who dug deep into the Gould catalog
with the intention of using his piano samples to build modern hip-hop, pop, and
electronic songs, or “remixes,” around them. Their goal was to
retain the musical integrity of the original recordings, yet make new songs that
fans of these genres would enjoy. The collective even took it one step further
by manipulating historical CBC video of Gould to make it look as if the pianist
was performing the new compositions himself. This was the beginning of what
would become the Uninvited Guests album release that you’ll hear on
October 23, 2020.
