Podcast appearances and mentions of aric improta

Interview by Kris PetersHouse of Protection, the new venture from Stephen Harrison and Aric Improta, serves as a sanctuary for those who surrender to impulse. Abandoning any regard for tradition and form, they followed a feeling and unearthed a sound that sees them push their limits further than ever before. Bridging the not so disparate worlds of hardcore, electronica, and punk, the two forged a space for boundless creativity and a community fuelled by chaos.The band is a project created by formerly two-thirds of Fever 333 (Stephen & Aric), they're signed to Red Bull Records and backed & produced by legendary producer and ex-Bring Me The Horizon keyboardist Jordan Fish AND are featured on Architects upcoming album. House Of Protection are in Australia for the first time, supporting Bad Omens with Poppy across the nation, and HEAVY caught up with Stephen & Aric not long before their recent show at Brisbane's Riverstage."It's been awesome so far," Aric began. "Honestly, we didn't really know what to expect, especially walking up because Bad Omens audience looks very much like a Bad Omens audience (laughs). They are there for that band, but they have been really receptive. It's cool to be on such an eclectic tour because it doesn't feel competitive. It just feels like everybody's expressing themselves honestly, and that's always a cool situation to walk in to."In the full interview, we spoke about the tour and how it is going, the band's formation from the ashes of Fever 333, their musical direction, getting the mix of styles right in the creative process, their recent EP track by track, plans to come back to Australia and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Music and art are 2 things that make our world richer. Both connect to us on a deep level, and no matter if we like it or hate it, we always have opinions about it! Aric Improta is one of the most creative drummers in the world, and he also happens to be a world-class artist, so we're going to dive into how our emotional response to artwork can influence music.

On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Aric Improta. Improta is a Grammy-nominated drummer who plays for the prog-metal band Night Verses and formerly FEVER 333. Beyond his blistering showmanship, Improta often incorporates technology into his playing to push the boundaries of the instrument and reimagine a different future. “The goal is always to feel as possessed by the music as possible. When I see a performer with absolute control, it's usually impressive but rarely breathtaking. I prefer to see that expert level of control pushed to its furthest limit,” he wrote in 2023, accompanying a photo of the drummer in mid-air.

“I’m curious how many people are good at saying, “I like this. I don’t like this”, no matter what someone else says.” It is always a good time chatting with Aric Improta. He’s the extremely energetic drummer for Night Verses and Fever 333 that you may have seen hanging off of speaker cabinets, rafters all while performing backflips and pulling 360’s off his drum throne. Aric is an absolute beast of a showman. Of course, many drummers have watched his Guitar Centre Drum-Off video which was riddled with tricks and stunts. Beyond the tricks, Aric also has a way of paving his own lane. He has a preference for remaining focused on his own creativity and not taking in very much outside influence. Aric is the kind of drummer who incorporates technology, ingenuitive techniques, radical showmanship, athletics, and then all of the other “normal” stuff we drummers usually do. No one is like Aric. A dedicated craftsman who is among my favorite drummers of his generation.    You Will Hear About…. The quarantine, habits, and masks. Attachment and creating art in isolation. Authenticity and the importance of choice. Past references and making a statement. How art lubricates society so that ideas and thoughts can be expressed more freely. Our thoughts on getting attention online. A bit about a new project with Munky from Korn.   Why Should You Listen? Aric and I tackle a lot of stuff that touches on the quarantine and creativity. The whole situation of the lockdown and how that affects creative output is a big topic and it is interesting to think about and have discussion. How does social media change our perspectives on what we create? This is the kind of territory we explore. Aric and I have talked before more than once and I wanted to create something very unplanned and spontaneous with him here. I know that Aric appreciates that and he would carry the conversation well. So, really this episode is just two dudes having some fun gabbing about some deep stuff.    Song featured is "Copper Wasp" performed by Night Verses - watch the whole thing here   Aric’s Socials Instagram Facebook YouTube Hexwave Instagram   Follow ‘Drumeo Gab’ Instagram Facebook YouTube

Our first guest for 2020 on the Meinl Radio Podcast is Meinl Cymbals artist Aric Improta. Aric is known for his high-velocity and energetic style of drumming across a multitude of different projects such as The Fever 333 and his band Night Verses. Chris and Aric sit down during the 2020 NAMM show in Anaheim, CA for a conversation about his past experience with the Guitar Center Drum-Off contest, making unique drum-related content for his social media channels, combining his love of gymnastics with music, and much more.

My guest this week is Aric Improta of Night Verses / The Fever. Aric is a true artist, everything he does exudes creativity and he's definitely one of, if not THE most original drummer out there. We first met at Meinl Drum Fest in 2017 where he play one 40 minute drum solo without breaks. The guy is a freak. We talk about art, music, touring weird places and what it was like to work with multiple Grammy award-winning producer Ross Robinson.

Aric Improta is one the more prolific, contemporary drummers defying conventions. He plays drums in hard rock outfit FEVER333 as well as aggressive instrumental trio Night Verses. When he isn't touring or recording in bands; he's making unique drum videos, experimenting with new sounds, and drawing very detailed pieces of art. His innovative approach to playing drums is redefining perceptions. He continues to push it to realms never attempted before by exploring different ways to play and even different parts of the drum kit to incorporate. Combining his boundary pushing style with his visual art and intense physical performances have Aric influencing a new generation of avant garde drummers and artists alike.

Just before absolutely demolishing the waterfront park stage, Fever 333 sat down with Brent Porche at MMR's broadcast booth at Rock Allegiance. Jason Aalon Butler, Stephen Harrison, and Aric Improta discussed the objective of this musical project, Travis Barker's involvement, their full-length album, and using the stage as a "jungle gym", plus they talked about how much they love Philly and how they spent their day off in the city.

Mike and Mike discuss March 2019 artist Aric Improta of instrumental trio Night Verses and rap-punk band Fever 333.

There is a message here, and it's an important one. The Fever 333 don't shy away from their thoughts about the social situation in America. If anything else their Made an America E.P. proves that. I'll take every chance I get to say hi to Jason Butler, Stevis Harrison and Aric Improta from the Fever 333.

With the current state of the world we need hardcore punk musicians fighting for what's right through their music more than ever and the latest band to emerge from the ashes of the fallen is The Fever 333 fronted by Jason Aalon Butler (ex-letlive.) who is this week's special guest co-host on Wall of Sound: Up Against The Wall.  Everything this man touches, turns to gold, so you can imagine the hype behind their new EP Man An America which was produced by John Feldmann and features the iconic Travis Barker as a guest drummer, alongside Aric Improta and guitarist Stephen Harrison. But as it turns out, being Butler's project, he wasn't afraid to tell the industry professional how it should sound as he explains the band's conception and purpose to podcast host Browny. He also explains how The Fever 333 is a band, for the people, especially people of colour who still to this day are being racially profiled, treated like shit and are losing their lives all because of the colour of their skin. If the #BlackLivesMatter movement needed a band to champion their efforts, this is the outfit to do it.

Welcome back to another episode of the DrumGAB podcast! This week is a very special interview with one of my personal favorite modern drummers, Eric Harland. In this episode the discussion is deep. We break down some components of drumming in an interactive exercise that I also explored with Aric Improta recently, being in the moment with music and if there are influences unrelated to music that inspire Eric’s playing, to name a few. Then in the second portion of our interview, we explore spirituality, why we are here and self-perception. This is a very insightful episode and ranks as one of the best episodes to date, IMO.   Who is Eric?   Eric Harland is a multi-grammy nominated drummer and is one of the most in-demand drummers of his generation. Already in his career, he has been featured on close to 200 recordings, including Joshua Redman’s “James Farm”, “Prism” from Dave Holland and Kevin Eubanks and his very own group “Voyager”. Overall, Eric is an incredibly ethereal musician who has inspired players all over the world.   Key Moments in this Episode   - We begin by examining 8 components to drumming. Creativity, Timekeeping, Endurance, Independence, Coordination, Groove, Chops, Technique. Eric’s interpretation is far different from what we heard previously on Aric Improta’s episode but each player expresses very convincing points of view that opens up our own minds towards this question.   - Next, we explore nonmusical influences towards his music making. Eric explains that everything acts as an influence. As our minds process our surroundings, our moods, and personal circumstances, it all affects how we create music.   - What follows is the moment of music. Eric expresses how this varies for him. Sometimes he is hired to fulfill a role musically and how it is not always a situation that he relates to internally and how he wishes to convey creativity through the instrument. Another component of this discussion is subconscious listening and how we can enter “the zone” with music and be on another level of listening.   - To wrap up our discussion with music and performance, we talk about musical freedom. How do we obtain freedom on the instrument? Eric breaks down how time is simply a measurement. Anything can happen within time as long as you have internalized it. He encourages people to understand that we as players do not need to lock into time with our playing but rather internalize the space of time and play within that in order to be free.   - The second chapter of this episode deals with life and spirituality. We start things off with the beginnings of his spiritual quest, where he grew up in a very religious household and would eventually study theology and become an ordained minister. However, after some time he began to feel that he could do something wrong and ended up leaving the church to explore other spiritual possibilities. To this day he remains open to receive and process what is possible with spirituality.   - I ask Eric, “If someone were to approach you who struggled with inner peace, how would you respond?” Eric in all his wisdom replied to me with “What is so important about inner peace?” Now that may seem like he disregarded my question, but believe me, his reasoning behind that statement was what blew my mind in this interview.   - Eric had recently received an award from the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts and he selflessly gave his award away to someone he felt deserved it more. In his speech, he talks about how we don’t really know how we see ourselves, instead we just experience life. So this made me want to ask him his opinion on self-perception and whether we know how we truly live as people. Again, another part of this interview that is so deep and so wise.   - To conclude, I ask Eric what the most impactful advice he had received in his life was. At first he had difficulty recalling something specific but eventually, he recalled elderly women telling him “don’t sweat the small stuff.” Simple but very true and he elaborates a bit on that to bring more substance to the point.   Concluding Thoughts   Eric Harland is a musician that I noticed quite a number of years ago and instantly enjoyed how he played. While I wasn’t incredibly familiar with all of the work he has done, the preparation for this interview really allowed me the chance to see more into his life and his values through all of the interviews I have watched or listened to before speaking to him. So typically for me, my favorite conversations are ones that surround spirituality, the beauty of life and music and Eric is all of those things and a perfect guest to explore these topics with. This was definitely one of my favorite interview experiences as a host and how it translated as a listening experience, it encapsulated the essence of my podcast. Eric is a truly wonderful human being and I am very thankful that he took some time to speak with me and explore some interesting subject matter on the podcast.   Music featured in this podcast is from Eric Harland's Journey. Album is titled Vipassana Other music is from Eric Harland's loop pack from The Loop Loft   Eric's Socials Instagram | Facebook | Website   DrumGAB's Socials Instagram | Facebook | Website

Welcome to another episode of the DrumGAB podcast. This week we are taking a close look into the life of Aric Improta. Aric is the drummer his long time passion project band Night Verses and more recently has taken the throne for Goldfinger and is also the drummer for The Fever 333. This conversation takes a deep look into his highly diversified year in 2017, his philosophies on his approach to drumming and many stories about his journey over the years and what inspires him.   Who is Aric?   I feel that a lot of people found Aric through his viral Guitar Centre Drum Off video, where he placed second to the incredible Juan Carlito Mendoza (which for the record is probably the most incredible champion solo from that event). Beyond that, people will know him for his video series ADD (Attention Deficit Drumming) that has had well over 100K views in total and then of course he is the drummer for Night Verses.   Aric’s style of play is rather extreme in every aspect. He mixes his love for skateboarding and free running/athleticism with drumming, LIKE NO ONE ELSE. Aric is a one of a kind player. He has made headlines with being the drummer to backflip from one drum set to another during a solo and soon to come Meinl will be releasing a 40 minute drum solo of Aric pulling ideas from his six month creative binge that lead to the ADD video series. All in all, Aric is ALWAYS pushing the boundaries of what is possible on a drum set.   Key Moments in this episode   - Before we even really “begin” the interview we talk about the major changes for him in 2017. He joined two bands, Goldfinger and The Fever 333 and he talks about how a Night Verses had to cancel a tour, which resulted in a six month creative binge. This was the time that he released the ADD videos and a slew of other creative projects. We also talk about how these additions to his work schedule has forced him to be more focused with his time and how he utilizes it to ensure that he is always prepared for gigs, recording, practice and illustrative work.   - Because Aric has such a unique approach and sound, I ask about how much time he invests in discovering new techniques and the development of his sound. Basically his point to the question of discovering “your sound” is about the importance of finding a unique way to blend in. How can you be “you” and still remain inclusive to others and to be an adaptive musician. That is difficult to pull off I think but Aric has some great thoughts on this that listeners can apply to their mental game.   - The next section was an activity that we have never done on the podcast and it may be interesting for you to give this thought as well. I had Aric organize the following components in order of most important to least important - Creativity, Time keeping, Endurance, Independence, Coordination, Groove, Chops, Technique - This is a killer part of the episode.   - Along with drumming, Aric also draws a lot. Something that you often see in his drawings is the “Eye of Providence.” We talk about why he draws this symbol so often and we also explore the three common meanings to the symbol and what it means to Aric. Long story short, Aric will tell me a few years from now. It spirals into a deeper conversation about “creating your own world”. Brian Eno references and the discussion of science vs art for example.   - We wind down by talking about the effect of music. How music can transform your perspectives and how people click with music in their own personal way. At this point great moments were captured and there was weight to this part of the conversation.   - Recapping 2017 and how Aric’s 2018 is looking.   Concluding Thoughts   There are times when I speak with a guest and there is just undeniable synergy. For me, it is tough to relate to most people because I tend to have unpopular tastes and I am very personal with how I feel about most things. So it is rare when I sense someone else comes from a similar place. What this synergy created was a very spontaneous and free flowing conversation that is packed with good vibes. Great points were touched upon and there is a very unique angle to a lot of Aric’s thoughts and I really enjoyed listening to his reasonings.   Another fun aspect of this show was the editing of it. I am a very big fan of abrupt and “vibey” production. I enjoy Aric’s approach with his ADD videos. There is an intangible grime to those videos and I really wanted to model this podcast after that “vibe” and so I used a lot of clips from the ADD videos and they will abruptly come in and partition the conversation at key points that were very intentional and there was an effect I was looking for with each one. Overall, I spent more time on this episode than most because I related to it a lot and it was very fulfilling to make. This is one of my favourite shows I have made so far, Top pick.   Music by: Night Verses Song: Introducing: The Rot Under The Sun Album: Lift Your Existence (2013)   Aric’s Bands (Soundcloud links) Night Verses The Fever 333 Goldfinger   Aric’s Socials Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | Night Verses Website   DrumGAB Socials Instagram | Facebook | Website
