Episode 9 - Ihsahn

Ihsahn is one of my favourite people in the scene. Empathetic, creative, fierce and brilliant.

This months podcast is with Tomas Haake.

For this episode, I was fortunate to talk to Jordan Rudess, whom I’ve become friendly with throughout our time together on tour. He’s a fantastic mind who has unique takes on some of the thoughts I’ve been bashing around.

Episode 6 is with an artist named Blindboy out of Ireland who has created some of my favorite content over the past few years. From his band ‘The Rubberbandits’ to his numerous tv shows, podcast and books, he’s a great hang and unafraid to investigate the same sort of stuff I like to think about. To those wondering about the ads for Inside Out bands on this podcast, please consider this: touring is where artists generally make income in this day and age and in order to really get into my work and write without interruption for this year or so, I needed to keep the boat afloat and Inside Out has generously allowed me to do that by funding this podcast. Please understand they are doing me a tremendous service by allowing this to happen, so it means a lot to be able to help them out in return. Hope you’re well, keep writing :) -Devin Listen to the podcast here: https://devin-townsend.lnk.to/Podcast This podcast is brought to you by InsideOutMusic.

For this months interview, I talked with guitarist Joe Satriani. Not only a commercially successful artist, but also a very effective teacher. His methodology seems deceptively simple yet clearly effective. Hes been a solid person and very down to earth throughout all our interactions and I appreciate his process.

Hey all, for the third episode, (and second interview) of The Devin Townsend Podcast, I'm interviewing renowned guitarist Tosin Abasi about his creative process. I'm fascinated by what makes artists tick, and as I continue down the path of interviewing people (there's some great guests lined up) I really enjoy getting insights into the minds of people I respect. I hope you enjoy it, and Ill see you next month. - Devin This podcast is brought to you by InsideOutMusic.

For the second episode, I am attempting the process of interviewing someone else about their process and seeing how they navigate the same stumbling blocks we all do. Steve Vai was the obvious guest based on our history and my relationship with him. If this works, I may attempt to interview other artists I know about this topic in hopes it can shed some light on your own experiences. Let us know if this is something you’d like me to continue, and if so…I’ll try to get better at it :) This podcast is brought to you by InsideOutMusic.

The DTPodcast is intended as a real time counterpart to the making of one of my projects. In this inaugural episode, (prior to getting into the nuts and bolts of it all) I discuss the concept of Synesthesia (when your brain routes sensory information through multiple unrelated senses, causing you to experience more than one sense simultaneously) the misconceptions of it, and how it acts as simply another type of musical vocabulary. How it relates to my work, and questioning if its actually a learnable trait. This podcast is brought to you by InsideOutMusic.
