Infernal Machines (New Amsterdam Records, 2009), the debut CD from composer Darcy James Argue’s Secret Society, is one of the most talked-about records of the year. In this interview, Argue reveals why he chose to write modern music using a big band as his musical vehicle; how he turned a simple blog into a social media juggernaut; and why the last thing he wants to be is nostalgic about music.

Finally got to finish listening to this interview – and really enjoyed it. Darcy is very articulate and was able to talk more succinctly about the whole ‘in this time’ thing … without any potential physical conflict!
The music is great – I’ve heard good things but hadn’t bought the record. That will likely change this week …
Glad you liked it, Michael. And the “physical confrontation” line was very funny!
