POPULARITY
Yes, you are seeing correctly, Toby Driver! We go out of 2023 with a bang! Toby Driver is one of these few artists who can connect Black Metal fans, Jazzers, Avantgardists and people from various other far-apart genres because he has that understanding of music that reaches beyond genres, sounds and structures. Something that some people might call avantgarde in the sense of “letting the song dictate where it goes” but for Toby that is not what the term stands for. And therefore we focused on that notion, that term - “Avantgarde”. In what turned out to be a totally improvised interview we found out a lot about it, in my opinion. Check out this in-depth interview with Toby and remember - we go out with a bang, we go in with a bang, so be sure to check back tomorrow!
There are people and bands that everybody within a certain scene knows. Everybody knows ISIS when it comes to Post-Metal, just like you know the Neurosis guys when you are into Dark Folk, as well as Toby Driver when you like Black Metal with an Avantgarde Twist. When you are into American Black Metal with a lot of history you will surely have come across the name Neill Jameson because he is one of these key figures of USBM as he is the mind behind Krieg, one of the seminal bands in the genre. Sometimes controversial but never delivering records of a bad quality and that is also true of Krieg's latest record Ruiner, which came out a few months ago and which is a certain tabula rasa record. So, obviously we had a lot of reasons to sit down with Neill (and his cat) to talk about all these things and of course also Black Metal in general. Enjoy this one and make sure to check back tomorrow for another legend!
Toby Driver is best known as the mastermind of long-running goth-prog legends Kayo Dot, as well as a member of Bloodmist and Secret Chiefs 3. We talk about Jane's Addiction's 1990 record, Ritual de lo Habitual, as well as white dreadlocks, what constitutes New Age music, and Toby's horrific Jane's A concert experience.
Esta semana, dedicamos una nueva edición de Rebelión Sónica, al nuevo disco de la banda estadounidense liderada por Toby Driver, Kayo Dot, “Moss Grew on the Swords and Plowshares Alike”. Editado el 29 de octubre por el sello Prophecy Productions, se trata del décimo álbum de estudio de la agrupación avant-garde y, según la disquera, “la cruda fragilidad de la condición humana es el tema general que recorre las venas de este nuevo trabajo de estudio regular de Kayo Dot”. Agrega que en el “extenso y agitado multiverso musical de la creación liderada por el multiinstrumentista y cantante Toby Driver, que nunca aceptó ni se preocupó por las fronteras artificiales de los géneros e incorporó, por ejemplo, rock, metal, música clásica, goth, indie, pop y estructuras de jazz, en este álbum de avant-garde parece inclinarse hacia un enfoque más duro y pesado que en algunas de las grabaciones anteriores (…)”. Prophecy también explica que con “Moss Grew on the Swords and Plowshares Alike”, en cierto modo, Kayo Dot está celebrando el aniversario número 20 del lanzamiento del emblemático álbum doble “Bath / Leaving Your Body Map” y los 25 años desde el inicio de maudlin of the Well, el conjunto original de Driver. Rebelión Sónica se transmite por radio Rockaxis los miércoles a las 10, 17 y 23 horas, con la conducción y curatoría de Héctor Aravena.
Toby Driver is one of the most engaging and important musicians currently active. His resume is astounding, his persistence is unmatched, and his work is always challenging, fresh, and most importantly, inspirational and enjoyable. Toby may be best known for being the leader of the often confounding Kayo Dot, but his music spans many genres, bands and projects. I sat down with Toby to discuss and listen to some of these bands that perhaps are lesser known than Kayo Dot. We listen to a track from the upcoming Kayo Dot record on Prophecy Productions, as well as songs from Alora Crucible, Blood Mist, and a few others. We also get into subjects such as touring, show attendance, and the European metal scene. So, please pass the aux to Toby, and join us in exploring the many facets of this man's career. https://kayodot.bandcamp.com/ -------------------- "I Hate Music" theme by Marius Sjoli. -------------------- https://www.facebook.com/hatepod.music/ https://www.instagram.com/i_hate_music_podcast/ Email and listener suggestions to: hate.pod.music@gmail.com Donations to support our podcast: paypal.me/hatepod #ihatemusicpodcast **I Hate Music is an Earth in Sound Production** https://www.earthinsound.org/
This episode we are joined by Dr Toby Driver, Senior Investigator (Aerial Survey) at the Royal Commission Wales. Toby discusses his career in archaeology, how he got into aerial research and how the process works. We also discuss a number of things that have caught our attention, including the passing of Victor Ambrus (Time Team), the lost stone circle of Stonehenge and the Great British Dig.
The thirty-second episode of the Quarantine Sessions Podcast is with special guest Toby Driver. Toby is a composer and the founder of avant garde metal-adjacent music projects Kayo Dot and Maudlin of the Well. We spoke about the role that lucid dreaming, astral projection, and psychedelics had in the creation of Toby’s music. There were some technical difficulties involved with this interview but hopefully it will not detract too much from the power of the content within.

When I first heard about Thief, I was skeptical. I was about to embark on a short tour with one of Toby Driver's various projects, (Piggy Black Cross), and Toby told me Thief from Los Angeles would be joining. That first night of tour Dylan and Thief stunned me with the craft of their songs, the passion in their performance, and I was instantly impressed with their unique and dynamic shows each night. Now, a few moons later, we have shared the stage a handful of times and Thief has cemented itself as one of my absolute favorite bands. In 2019 Thief released "Map of Lost Keys" on Prophecy Productions. The album is a rich and emotional dive into the musical mind of Dylan Neal, who writes and records all the music himself, but is joined by two others for live performances. Come listen to us get unhinged while we discuss production techniques, obscure bands from the Czech Republic, racism in art, and of course, share music... and don't forget to pass the aux! -------------------- "I Hate Music" theme by Marius Sjoli, performed by Billy Smeer.

Toby Driver’s path to the present has been circuitous and inscrutable, which is to say, in keeping with music he has written over the last 25 years. His work in Maudlin of the Well, Kayo Dot, and as a solo artist has encompassed metal, chamber...
Here is the 95th installment of the Dreams of Consciousness podcast, featuring an interview with Toby Driver of Kayo Dot, Vaura, and maudlin of the Well. "Experimental", "progressive" and "avant-garde" are the ways Toby Driver's music is usually described. With his bands Kayo Dot and maudlin of the Well - as well as the music he's released under his own name - the prolific songwriter has crossed boundaries and created music that goes beyond the typical genre conventions of "metal" or "prog rock". I spoke with Toby about his music school education, his approach to songwriting and composition, and the upcoming Kayo Dot album Blasphemy. We also discussed his last "solo" album They Are The Shield and the final maudlin of the Well album, Part The Second. My thanks to Toby for speaking with me, and to you for listening.

In Episode 2 of Who'd Have Thought That? About Drought we here about the changing colour of the landscape during this hot, dry spell in the UK. From brown grass to new archaeological finds, we hear from Toby Driver who talks us through the processes involved in tracing history from the air.
For our first foray into the live podcast medium, we are joined by our old friend and collaborator, Toby Driver. He was the very first guest on the podcast back in 2013, and when we pulled the plug back in 2015, he was the last. For this episode, Toby is accompanied by String Noise (Conrad Harris & Pauline Kim Harris) to present some of his recent ballads. Moody, gothic songs, reminiscent of Current 93, Nick Cave and of course, Kayo Dot. Toby!
