Through The Musical Wall: Our Interview With XNY
At the heart of XNY are the musical duo of Jacob Schrieber and Pam Autouri. Normally you'd expect this kind of raw minimalist approach to yield musical fusion far less rich and melodious than the resulting powerhouse release Through The Wall, but you would be dreadfully wrong and ready for some musical schooling. We spoke with Pam and Jabob while they were busy going about their day and they even pulled over to the side of the road to avoid being a vehicular hazard while answering our many questions.
I'd like to mention first off that I loved the press release item about hearing each other through the shared wall of the apartment in Boston where you both lived. When you look at our modern world and what fate sometimes dishes out, you could've been served with a restraining order instead of a musical collaboration. What do you think you'd be doing now if you had never shared a wall?
Pam: Ooh, that's a good question. Actually, we talked about this before because we are so thankful that we annoyed the shit out of each other enough to actually play music together. But I think I would definitely still be playing music and writing. I think that I would be doing more solo stuff, more acoustic stuff. That's really what I was going for before I met Jacob. He brought out the crazy side of me.
Jacob: I don't really know what I'd be doing because I was kind of at this weird point where I didn't know what I was going to be doing with my future and I was kind of actually losing hope a little bit, wondering if I was going to be able to pull off a career in music.
I'm getting a little depressed by that.
Jacob: I was one of those moments where it was either going to go one way or the other and I happened to meet Pam at the exact right moment. As far as what I would be doing? I would like to say that I would probably still be doing music but I really don't know.
Sounds like it was a pivotal moment for you both?
Pam and Jacob: Yes, it was.
