Steven Wilson & Niko Tsonev On Music & Guitar Solos [From Steven's Record The Harmony Codex]
Рет қаралды 104,574
Күн бұрынSolo sounds, construction and inspiration with a modern British leg-end!
Welcome to the show! It's our great pleasure to welcome back musician, composer, producer and all-round leg-end, Steven Wilson. Dan’s been doing Steven’s touring pedalboard for, ooh, ages, and so he’s dropped in with guitarist Niko Tsonev to tell us about new release, The Harmony Codex, alongside a chat around life, music and everything that goes with it.
Steven and Niko also play through five guitar solo sections from the new record to help us understand a little bit about the process that informs their creativity. Loads of great stuff here, including some fab advice around being a pro player. Enjoy the show!
56:13 The new record is called The Harmony Codex, not Economies Of Scale. Sorry!

I don't know if TPS has done an episode like this previously (probably have because it is so obvious now that I think about it) but it is truly exceptional. It's not so much because I love much of Steven's work but to get the creator to speak so candidly is a joy to experience. And to have a collaborator present to discuss their role and performances is equally enriching. I think TPS is on to something special. Please do more in this format.

To me Steven Wilson is in a unique group of artists, this group of artists have a combination of musical, engineering, and production talent that results in great music that is recorded and produced to audiophile standards. There are a few people in the music industry that, if I see their name in the credits, I'll buy the product without knowing anything else about the project. Steven Wilson is one of those names (Bob Clearmountain is another). Thanks for this, it is Fantastic! P.S. - "Hand Cannot Erase" is always part of the demo music when I'm trying out a new DAC for the home HiFi.

I was hoping you’d have Steven on soon with the new album coming out. So glad to see this pop up in my feed. I discovered Steven’s solo work a couple of years ago but became obsessed with it about a year ago to the point where I’ve introduced everyone I know to his music whenever I can. I think I’ve listened to Regret 9 about 100 times. His stuff just sounds excellent.

@majormercator 10 ай бұрын
Fascinating! The discussion about how Wilson thinks less in terms of demo/master was interesting; I have often felt like more of an amateur because I don't make "demos" as I write songs, only what will become the finished track. I thought there might have been something special in the split between writing/recording, but perhaps not. Although I have realized over time how important it is to get as much of the song written as quickly as possible, which ties into the discussion about first takes. Often enough I don't get most of the song out in a session or two, it's dead. Could spend days or weeks trying to revive it later, but it'll never work. It's like a musical idea's half-life. I was also inspired by how Niko talked about the emotional starting point for the Time Is Running Out solo. I find myself thinking about solos in my songs as indulgent, "fun" parts, and not going much deeper than that when I'm actually playing them. Having a specific memory or set of memories that you're trying to take into the solo seems like a good way of accessing more depth. A good reminder to dig deeper.

So fantastic! Love seeing Steven back, just recently was thinking I wish we got to see him again. I love Steven's solo on Sound of Muzak particularly because of what they talk about here. It doesn't sound like a guitarist solo to me. It's living the music's emotion, composing. This chat was a blast, I've started to think this way a lot lately, care much less about my technical abilities that I don't have time/motivation to improve and much more about how what I played feels like. Adjusting the sound every time to the song at hand, not at all in isolation, trying to play as little as necessary, find cool sounding chords/progressions and trying to slowly ingrain the idea of imitating vocals. I think that's how Paul Gilbert said he developed his style too, playing Dio and David Lee Roth and whatnot vocals. And I guess he proved that by making the Dio album fully instrumental. Really like some of the electronic music drum soudns, makes me think of that part of Smashing Pumpkins. This album's gonna be cool and weird probably. Can't wait to listen to it.
