Review Fix Exclusive: Strange Circuits’ Rodney Baker Talks ‘The Opposition’

Review Fix chats with Strange Circuits’ Rodney Baker, who discusses the inspiration behind his track, “The Opposition.”

Review Fix: How was ‘The Opposition’ written?

Rodney Baker: The Song was written as I was working on a Fine Art Piece. I ‘m also an artist with my artworks in several Fine Art Museums like The Museum of the Art Institute of Chicago SAIC and the Smart Museum of Art at the University of Chicago. I became influenced by the design and colors and I began to write and construct the music on my analog synthesizer.

Review Fix: What are the rest of your goals for 2018?

Baker: My goals for 2018 are to record an album in London and to finish my second tour of the UK. I also want to finish working on a film documentary that I’m working on with a film crew in the UK on Strange Circuits. At the moment we are still doing interviews for the film in different locations across England.

Also, I’ll be doing my first Art Lecture at Hagglers Corner in Sheffield England. I will also be performing as Strange Circuits that night also.

Review Fix: How do you want your music to affect people.

Baker: I believe that Strange Circuits is an Artistic and Creative Project, therefore, it would be great if people could expand their creativity and curiosity about love, life, and understanding or about right, wrong, or struggle and strife. But, if you don’t have the time just moves to the beat

Review Fix: What’s next?

Baker: I’m in talks with a record label called Private Selection, which is interested in releasing the Opposition as a 7” and a 12” album. Also, I just had my Artwork added to the Permanent Collection of the Krannert Fine Art Museum in the University of Illinois at Urbana – Champaign in the US. I would also like to film another film documentary in the UK. I like the ambiance of England.
