You have to diversify yourself if you’re working in the music business: Karcius’ Sylvain Auclair on their new album “Grey White Silver Yellow and Gold” and surviving the pandemic as a full-time musician. We also talk about the songwriting ping-pong game, embracing heaviness with age rather than growing softer and we also touch on the chances for new material from his other band, Heaven’s Cry.Chapters:01:00 Introducing Sylvain02:20 The Karcius story so far05:33 Grey White Silver Yellow and Gold - a Baroness discography Boxset?06:50 The Ping-Pong Game: songwriting in Karcius10:40 From The Fold to the new album: ramping up the heaviness13:20 Getting heavier with age: discovering grit and false vocal chords16:28 Writing vocal melodies for Karcius and Heaven’s Cry20:10 Avoiding boxes and drawers: writing instinctively25:15 Surviving the pandemic as a full-time musician32:20 Concert plans with Karcius36:48 Any news about Heaven’s Cry?42:48 Playing the bass with a metal plectrum🎵 Karcius is:Sylvain Auclair (lead vocals, bass, percussion)Thomas Brodeur (drums & percussion, programming & sound design)Sebastien Cloutier (piano, B3, Mellotron, backing vocals)Simon L’Espérance (guitars, synths, percussion, keyboards, loops programming) 💿 Discography:Sphere (2004)Kaleidoscope (2006)Episodes (2008)The First Day (2012)The Fold (2018)Live in France (2019)Grey White Silver Yellow & Gold (2022)✔️ Follow Karcius:Website: https://karcius.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KarciusmusicInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/karciusmusic/Twitter: https://twitter.com/karciusmusicYoutube: https://bit.ly/KarciusYouTubeBandcamp: https://karcius.bandcamp.com/Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3MOQuN1✔️ Follow Heaven’s Cry:Website: https://www.heavenscry.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/heavenscryTwitter: https://twitter.com/heavenscrybandYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/user/heavenscrybandSpotify: https://spoti.fi/3MH5Zqe**********☕ BUY US A COFFEE ☕We bring these interviews to you with our own resources and have no monetization at all.
