Aesthetic Perfection

Imperfect Aesthetic Perfection

On August 31, 2013, Daniel Graves did something never imagined possible: he played an entirely acoustic concert as Aesthetic Perfection. Pulling it off took a year of planning, months of preparation, and weeks of rehearsal. Even then, nothing was perfect. How could it be? No computers, no backing tracks, nothing but what each musician brought to the stage. This unique experience was recorded at Complex in Glendale, CA, a venue renowned for it's incredible sound system and intimate concert experience. Graves said of the experience "I was more musically vulnerable than I had ever been before. The whole experience taught me that it's ok to be vulnerable, it's ok to be flawed, it's ok to make mistakes, it's ok to relinquish control and put your trust in others. Though much of this has been part of the Aesthetic Perfection 'philosophy' since Day 1, putting that into practice is easier said than done... I'm proud of what my friends and I accomplished, and I'm grateful to them for their hard work and creativity that made my vision come to life. "
