Show notes
Let's get to the man of the hour, Michel Teyssier of Fields of Naecluda!Today on the show, we are digging deeper into the music I love the most. Today's featured artist (and his band) is a French progressive rock band that brings some of the most incredible and delicate music I've heard in quite some time. Now, when I say delicate, I don't mean soft. I mean musical choices where the ideas are there and the band, through compression and dynamics, feeds you this musical data one morsel at a time. If you're a fan of Porcupine Tree, Haken, Temic, or Dream Theater, I am 100% positive this band is for you. Incredibly performed and written, this could be, and SHOULD BE, your favorite new thing. I love love love it. .... and you will too.So...Ladies and gentlemen... dialing in all the way from the middle of Europe, this is my guest Michel Teyssier!----Time Codes:2:00 Gratitude for the vocal booth6:00 Introducing Fields of Næcluda10:00 Becoming a professional musician14:00 Raising children to be independent17:00 The order of releases and intent21:00 Michel is where he needs to be right now25:00 Working with a singer from Senegal29:00 We are all the same32:00 Proving something to himself35:00 Does Michel have a drive to be remembered?38:00 Michel is NOT preaching anything in his music42:00 Leaving a musical legacy isn't all he cares about----MONOLOGUE: I'm in the process of recording another book, which is a how to... it's a different experience because it's hard to create something evocative that's basically a business how to book. So, that's been interesting figuring it all out. Being home more and working on auditions feels great, but I admit it also makes me feel, at times, kind of pathetic (i get it that it's my own experience as I'm not actually pathetic) because it never fails that the moment I take a break to eat or relax my voice, my family comes home and sees me sitting on the couch. Which... is just great. ----I'm a former professional drummer hosting challenging conversations with other artists/creatives about mental health, new music, weekly news, and spiritual truths.
