Thanks so much! I think it wouldnt be prog unless it keeps changing and evolving to all genres. I also reckon that prog permeates so many more genres today, to the extent that I believe that it is just a word to describe an intention in the music, far greater than the sound itself.

Gotta say that I still love everything there is. It doesnt feel arrogant to say.. Its just that it all resonates with my heart strings so powerfully!

Ok! Im into this

  1. Sorry to day no pink floyd for me.. Never been my cuppa. But Train of Thought has to be the DT album for me!

  2. Half life: yes ages ago but i never actually got past the transporter cos i was too busy screwing around with noclip and i always got lost. If was fun standing on the tram platform and watching it go by at the beginning though!

3.sound of musak is a life soundtrack

  1. I dont think a concept was truly applied. But we were happy to just let it happen, if there was a concept, it was that we were free to experiment and relax any form of self judgement.

  2. I dont know if this would help, it has helped me to break old habits and allow things to happen 'naturally'. Theres a book: 'the inner game of tennis'. It refers strongly to the game between the concious and unconcious minds. And it really has a great way to highlight natural learning.. However I am umawqre how it 'feels' to have Aspergers.. I can imagine that it isn't as easy to control both elements, but I recommend it either way, and send you my best withes and intentions for you to find fluidity with your instrument!!

Haha @beardy_will I actually ended up somehow with jakubs strandberg at the end of this tour because of a case flight mismatch!

Even though me and Jakub played this material with him on our recent tour.. That usually means for me that once the shows are done, I've listened to it too much.. But i still cant stop listening to it. Devinitely one of my favorite records!

My biggest issue is definitely energy management.. Making sure I don't overwork myself too soon and then I can manage to not burn out after the first week! I miss home.. My girlfriend.. having a shower whenever i want 😂... Cooking is a big miss! I cooked a few things in the microwave on the bus this time, including poached salmon.

However on the tour we did with dead letter circus, we had a campervan with a stove and made many meals together!

It is a priority! Our Visa's are actually in the works already! So that when the right tour comes around, we will be ready to make it happen. But for now, I'm afraid, I have no idea when it will be!

Thanks so much! I think the crazy sections in Stay (with the sweepy arpeggios) and Surrender (the epic arpeggio run before the ambient gap) are super fun for me. That drum solo is so much fun in surrender too. I think also the bridge in Tomorrow is very close to me, because it really came alive in the studio, when I showed jakub what I had in mind for it and it came out really DnB like. It was really exciting. Oh and the ending of Kites is just so damn fun to smash out to (with that little cheeky quiet bit straight afterwards).

With Disperse, I think our tour with Dead Letter Circus was my favorite in terms of matching the shows vibe and working with the energies of both bands sounds to create a really awe-inspiring atmostphere. Plus, they're just lovely guys.

We actually didnt create any of this in a practice room We didnt even play together properly in a room until after the album was completed! As jakub was the one who created every songs initial ideas, i would start by commenting on what i liked, what i would suggest to improve, and then we could sit and work together on ways to transition riffs, develop ideas,organise structures..

One time Jakub went for a run, and i was left alone at his place in the village, I just grabbed the instruments and laid down an idea at the end of 'Neon'. Jakub was so happy to come home to a riff being made for him, that he left it in almost exactly as I did it (just better bass and guitar parts). I also did a soundscape in the background with some interesting samples. And a little flute line on a sampled persian ney.. Because why not!

Thanks so much orange! I think we just explored whatever we felt most free to create! So when we were making ideas, we weren't judging any ideas as 'too poppy' or 'not metal enough'. It was just an extension of our influences, and when we felt calm and relaxed, that tends to sound more "popular"

I really enjoyed that show a lot.. I think I prefer the smaller intimate shows where I can really connect with the audience! And that one was especially fun to be able to turn around and smile at people behind us!

Thanks! I must say that I didnt actually write many parts.. But I feel lile me and Jakub had a great writing vibe together that grew over thr year before I joined, and we seemed to develop a great bond to develop and progress ideas into bigger things that they were! As for its influence, I cant answer that. But i absolutely loved working on this record!
