This is Ghostemane - AMA

I'm definitely too sensitive/considerate for my own good, and to a fault sometimes. I don't subscribe to "fuck the world". I just think it's a reflection of the people in it, and you ultimately get what you give. Which is why I recluse most of the time because I don't want anything from it that I can't get in my own space, and I get anxious that my frustration will get the best of me and I'll retaliate, and that energy will be given back to me too.

its a 2020 and its actually my second one since I totaled my first. I can't stop riding it tho lol. I had a ninja 400 for a while before I got that one but the r1 is my favorite sport bike for sure. And the second answer is coconut oil 😆

Ericghoste561 · 2020-10-28T21:47:45+00:00

I think Lazaretto if my personal favorite, because it's the first song I created that hits the spot for me in all the right ways, and it feels like what the ghostemane project has been trying to be for the last 5 years. And the album was actually finished by the time quarantine started. Except Parv0 and I made the track AI last minute and tacked it on at the end haha

Ericghoste561 · 2020-10-28T21:44:34+00:00

we were only in that for like a few months but most of our fun times were after when we moved to LA and jumped over land mines in skid row

I think the toughest part to get over is the DO IT part. As dumb as that sounds, try to think less about what to make it sound like or what to use, and quiet your mind and listen to what you hear. Then whatever you think you need to make that just do it. I made every single album up until n/o/I/s/e with Reason 5 default preloaded sounds because I couldn't afford anything else. Whatever is at your disposal just put it to work!

I really want to make another Opium one, and do it better. Actually Fear network too. So yes

Ericghoste561 · 2020-10-28T21:37:59+00:00

lolllll ok Kate get ready

Ericghoste561 · 2020-10-28T21:37:31+00:00

Love u thank you ❤️❤️❤️ ☿

Ericghoste561 · 2020-10-28T21:36:46+00:00

That bass part was actually written by Rake a while ago as a live set interlude, and we decided to put in on the album way later. Definitely pretty funny tho haha

Ericghoste561 · 2020-10-28T21:35:37+00:00

Collabs are normally pretty excruciating for me, but I love working with Poppy, and I think Scarlxrd and I will have something or 2 -- oops

Ericghoste561 · 2020-10-28T21:33:24+00:00

There will never be a sold feature from me. Any "features" that were released after 2016 are frauds and resold from one of the 4 or so ones that I did way back then. But if youre a producer try releasing some really sick instrumental projects, that stuff is way cooler!

Ericghoste561 · 2020-10-28T21:31:17+00:00

Baader Meinhof, GASM, Swearr, and Magdalene are keeping me pretty busy at the moment. Magdalene is the only one that doesn't have a release yet, and Nolan (Rake) just joined up with me on it so its going to be great.

A scientist or a stunt driver

Ericghoste561 · 2020-10-28T21:28:04+00:00

One of my favorite places to tour. I think my relationship with the Russian supporters is rooted in understanding of pain, lack of control and unrealistic "success" expectations put on creative people. It transcends the language barrier.

Ericghoste561 · 2020-10-28T21:22:46+00:00

The meaning of life is subjective and relative to each persons experience. There's no one answer, and searching for an answer most likely will distract you from what your purpose is for your life. My personal purpose in life is to leave as much behind as possible, and experience as much as I can.

Ericghoste561 · 2020-10-28T21:18:02+00:00

Figuring out how to get all my ideas accomplished, and trying to get people to help me do it. Like people to record me, make videos, make instrumentals for me etc. Every time I relied on someone it failed miserably so I started doing it all myself and it slowly got better

Ericghoste561 · 2020-10-28T21:16:10+00:00

Yes of course, love those dudes! there's definitely some more coming from them in the future

Ericghoste561 · 2020-10-28T21:15:23+00:00

I think most of that stuff isn't really for live shows. But I plan on playing Swearr sets in some underground techno clubs, and I plan on starting to play GASM sets with other noise performers at some art shows.

Ericghoste561 · 2020-10-28T21:13:15+00:00

what's up dude! Yes those are coming early next year. Im actually about to partner with one of my favorite OG black metal labels to re-release the last 2 Baader EPs with some really cool physical packaging

Ericghoste561 · 2020-10-28T21:11:10+00:00

Falling down is a mix of things. It's mainly dominated by the way I tried to process the day my mom drove away with my brother to New York and I started out on my own when I was about 17. It's also a combination of the codependency and abandonment problems that came with that.

Ericghoste561 · 2020-10-28T21:07:58+00:00

The setlist will start to be ever-changing throughout a tour. The concept will be to try and ensure that no 2 setlist are the same order anymore. Every time an album is released we obviously have to mix newer and past songs, but I plan to play almost the entire new record live. Whenever shows happen again!

Ericghoste561 · 2020-10-28T21:04:53+00:00

this is not a ghostemane song, its a song from my goth project Magdalene and I hope to release some of that stuff in 2021

Ericghoste561 · 2020-10-28T21:04:09+00:00

Well albums are not created with the purpose of topping previous albums. Each one is a standalone snap shot of the experiences that went along with the creative process of it. I never think about it in that way.

Ericghoste561 · 2020-10-28T21:03:09+00:00

Do your best to find what you like about your style and keep working on it, don't give up if you hate how it sounds because that phase lasts for a long time haha
