QUESTION:
“It seems like you enjoy touring. However, I can understand if it ever gets monotonous. Honestly, do you ever get tired of touring? Also, how much do you thrive off of your fans at a show? Thanks for all you do!” marie_02

I wanted to create a collection of music that reflects my diverse tastes, but also I wanted to explore the energetic balance between heaviness and weightlessness, between beauty and aggression, tension and release. Since I am on tour year round, I decided to take a few original tracks, and combine them with some remixes of older material, and some collaborations as well, to flush out as many individual pieces as possible. When I realized it would be a full album, and not just an EP, I decided to compile each song in order of how i would play it in a set: Usually i arrange my sets in terms of Acts (like a play) and each Act contains various routines (which are segments of loops/songs/samples that all flow together harmonically, melodically, energetically, etc) and then I kind of just let loose.

QUESTION:
I recently had quite a scare and may not be able to attend the expensive private college I’ve worked really hard to get into. My mother asked me “what interests you in life, what do you like?” so that we could make a plan B, and all I could think was concerts. I LOVE light shows, Bassnectar’s in particular, and I always thought it was really interesting when we got a glimpse into the production of them in your tourcam videos.
Where on earth would one go to develop a skill like that? The light shows at a Nectar concert are top notch and I’m curious as to how I could get trained and involved in such a thing. This is totally unrelated to anything, and i didn’t know where to post it so I put it here. Thank you! – anon

QUESTION:
Why don’t you play more of your older material? Your older stuff seems softer and more melodic, do you miss performing the classics like Kyrian Bee Bop, Pleasure the Bassnympho, Agent Squish etc.?

As we all know, the United States is under the weight of an incredible debt. As with any budget that faces a deficit, expenses need to either be cut, or new income needs to be earned. We, along with the people of Wisconsin, believe that there are basic needs of US Citizens that should not be cut. We believe it is never acceptable to cut education, especially when hundreds of billions of dollars a year are being paid to the wealthiest corporations and individuals in the form of Bush tax cuts.
