Podcasts about Tosin Abasi

Hey all, for the third episode, (and second interview) of The Devin Townsend Podcast, I'm interviewing renowned guitarist Tosin Abasi about his creative process. I'm fascinated by what makes artists tick, and as I continue down the path of interviewing people (there's some great guests lined up) I really enjoy getting insights into the minds of people I respect. I hope you enjoy it, and Ill see you next month. - Devin This podcast is brought to you by InsideOutMusic.

Sponsored by www.betterhelp.com/TheBarnVulgar Display of Podcast: Instagram | Twitter | FacebookBetterHelp, Zymurgy Brewing, Black Bayou Coffee Roasters, Michael Haley Photography, Total Deathcore, Liquid DeathOne of St. Louis' finest,The Gorge, embodies a passionate fusion of diverse musical influences, driven by four musicians deeply devoted to complex and heavy sounds. Their album, Mechanical Fiction, bursts with exuberant creativity, evident in the intricate math rock complexities of the opening track "Synapse Misfre" and the awe-inspiring tapping acrobatics in "A Decision Was Made." Each song resonates with the sheer joy and enthusiasm these artists experienced while composing them.As the album progresses, listeners are taken on a thrilling ride, like navigating the fast-paced, chugging mid-section of "Beneath The Crust," which unexpectedly gives way to a glorious choir celebrating the sunrise. Or, reveling in the electrifying riffs that follow blistering blast beats on "Presence." These memorable moments of pure, mind-blowing bliss are abundant throughout Mechanical Fiction.The guitarist/vocalist, Phil Ring, explains that the album's title, Mechanical Fiction, reflects the mundane routines and motions people often find themselves stuck in. It's a commentary on how individuals may go through life, convincing themselves that everything is fine, but without truly living authentically. As one delves deeper into the record, particularly the lyrics, unexpected emotional depths are uncovered. Ring reveals that the loss of loved ones to mental illness heavily influenced his lyric writing process, giving songs like "A Decision Was Made" and "Earthly Decay" a potent emotional punch in addition to their musical impact.Amidst the scattered ashes of life's challenges, the band always manages to find sparks of hope that ignite flames of joy. The title track harkens back to the era when fusion solo guitarists like Tosin Abasi and Plini rose to fame, but THE GORGE sets themselves apart by prioritizing repetition and structure over virtuoso soloing. Interspersing Meshuggah-style riffing and vocals with moments of pristine melody, the album embodies a two-faced nature. In the midst of this, the low-key "jazzy" midsection in "Earthly Decay" showcases the band's musical prowess, while their collective compositional skill shines in the artful buildup through various sections leading to a powerful finale.This episode is sponsored by www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn and presented to you by The Barn Media Group.

​​Multi Grammy award winner Steve Vai is hailed by many as the greatest guitarist of all time. He has worked with some of the greatest names in the history of rock music. He is a composer, producer and has just released his tenth solo album; “Inviolate”. Vai spoke to The Sync Report hosts Colin O' Donoghue, Rose Ganguzza and Jason P Rothberg about his early music inspirations, being taught to play guitar by Joe Satriani, attending Berklee College of Music and going straight into working with Frank Zappa. Vai's career has spanned more than 40 years, working with such rock luminaries as David Lee Roth, Yngwie Malmsteen and Whitesnake, touring with Steve Lukather, Joe Satriani and John Petrucci as well as Generation Axe, a supergroup Vai formed with Zakk Wylde, Yngwie Malmsteen, Nuno Bettencourt and Tosin Abasi.  Vai has also been in the movies! Listen to Vai talk about being cast as the devil's guitar player in director Walter Hill's film; “Crossroads” and then talk about other films and video games his music has been licensed for. Vai has recently released his new album "Inviolate," on CD and digitally (vinyl will be released in March) with nine instrumentals of his most honest work to date, including the album's mesmeric opener, “Teeth of the Hydra,” that Vai wrote and recorded with a one-of-a-kind custom guitar he called the Hydra. We spoke to Vai on The Sync Report about his life, music, guitars, composing and producing and releasing his 10th solo album: Inviolate.   Steve Vai   | Social Media Website Instagram Facebook Twitter Youtube 2 Sense  Music presents The Sync Report, where you will meet industry experts and top level songwriters as we pull the curtain back on music placement and scores, build vital relationships and provide real opportunities to our listeners.

After a second listening party and another subsequent release date missed, Kanye West's “Donda” is all over the music news. Nick's feeling like this is all looks like marketing, but it's unclear whether that's intentional or accidental. Regardless, we're talking about it again…Song: Paranoid Void - “Karma No Inu”Greg's been practicing a new technique on his Abasi 7-string guitar that his friend and “Animals As Leaders” founder and lead guirarist Tosin Abasi gave him. The technique is similar to the one Victor Wooten uses on bass, where the thumb, in one fluid motion, hits the intended string and comes back up to hit the same string again. Adding the left hand hammer-ons and some extra fingers yields all sorts of interesting combinations… and Greg gives us a demo live. It's great!Songs:JAWNY - “Take It Back”Animals As Leaders - “Infinite Regression”Animals As Leaders - “The Woven Web”Jay was dismayed to hear that Rolling Stone's drummer Charlie Watts would be missing his first tour since joining in 1962 as he's recovering from a medical procedure (but is doing well). Naturally the next question is, who the heck is filling in? Luckily they've booked the great Steve Jordan and we explore this drummer's style and past to decide whether he'll make the cut (spoiler: yeah, this is good, Jay's excited).Songs:Big Thief - “Not”BB King - “Ain't Nobody Home”Donald Fagen - “Walk Between Raindrops”John Mayer - “Waiting on the World to Change”John Mayer (Live) - “Wait Until Tomorrow”

This 60s classic is wacky, eccentric and silly - but is it cringe? Or maybe cute...? Or maybe (just maybe) it's actually neither, and this is a silly false dichotomy. Listen and find out what Jackie from the Fire the Canon podcast thinks of this song (which was totally new to her), and is guided through it by me, BigYellowPraxis/Jacob. Is this is the kind of song that only makes sense to Brits, or can Americans find a place in their hearts for the cockney silliness?

Chris Stapleton's song, Tennessee Whiskey is awesome - but is it a rip off? What even *is* a rip off? Where is the line between 'inspired by' and 'taken from'? Should we even care if a song is a rip off? All these questions and more are explored in this video essay - there are tangents a-plenty, so hold on tight!

Focusrite brings you a deep guitar hang with MISHA MANSOOR, who plugs two of his favorite signature-model Jackson guitars, deconstructs some of his great riffs for you, and shares how he created PERIPHERY, one of the most influential prog-metal bands in history. (Some would even say Mansoor is one of the chief architects of the genre known as “djent” — we’ll see if the ever-humble guitarist/producer agrees.) Misha also shares everything from his deep Allan Holdsworth influence to how he creates Hendrix-style echo-before-distortion psychedelic feedback loops. Additionally, Mansoor details how he and his other guitar hero friend, Tosin Abasi, like to go hot-doggin’ down canyon roads behind the wheels of exotic supercars. Thanks again to FOCUSRITE, makers of great audio interfaces and more, for making this episode happen.

Tosin is truly a 21st Century guitar-hero, leading a new generation of players into sonic parts-unknown. With Animals as Leaders, he's pushed past the boundries of progressive-metal and has helped to define a new, mind-bending world of "djent", seamlessly integrating multiple tones, time-signatures, and music-styles into something wholly new and exciting. He's also brought new technological advancements in guitar design to the masses with his Abasi Concepts guitars, which incorporate 7 and 8-string multi-scale designs.

Tosin Abasi and I are very different musicians, which is exactly why I wanted to start season 3 of the podcast by talking to him.

This week on Sinica, Kaiser and Jeremy speak with Julian Ku, Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Maurice A. Deane Distinguished Professor of Constitutional Law at Hofstra University. After the arrest of Huawei Chief Financial Officer Mèng Wǎnzhōu 孟晚舟 in Vancouver at the behest of the U.S. Justice Department dominated international headlines in December 2018, U.S.-China relations have entered uncharted territory. The three convened to discuss the many legal aspects of her arrest and what this means for the bilateral relationship moving forward. What to listen for on this week’s Sinica Podcast: 7:54: Bank fraud, sanctions violations, or competition over 5G? All three? In response to Jeremy, Julian explains the strategy behind the decision to charge Meng with bank fraud and how this differs from the legal strategy in charging ZTE: “...as they did with ZTE, it’s actually much easier for the Commerce Department to just go after them on a civil standard and say you’re violating our sanctions laws and we’re just going to cut you off from the U.S. market. There’s no jury, there’s no trial, you don’t have to prosecute that person, and you don’t have to worry about the complications with extradition.” 20:15: What internal processes and parties were involved in this arrest? Julian explains how these extradition requests are generally handled as they work their way through various government offices. “It’s sort of like a bureaucratic process but with a little bit of wiggle room among the different departments so that you’re not putting a country in a bad position. So, I think Canada is supposed to have a little room to think about this, and I think ideally we gave them a chance to think about it and turn them down. But we obviously really wanted this to happen.” 34:24: Julian discusses the role that variable interest entities (VIEs) play in Chinese companies and the legal claims made by Meng and HSBC. “For tax purposes or for regulatory purposes, the law will sometimes allow companies to be structured in different ways...or for corporate governance purposes. Having said that, there [is] also a long tradition of what we call piercing the corporate veil in the United States. Which is, we say, ‘Look, we know technically it’s a separate corporation but because they commited a separate tort or crime, we’re just going to pierce the corporate structure and go straight to the shareholders and hold them accountable.’” Recommendations: Jeremy: Two Kinds of Time, by Graham Peck, with an introduction by Robert Kapp. A book of observations of China from the 1940s. Julian: Indonesia Etc.: Exploring the Improbable Nation, by Elizabeth Pisani. A 2014 memoir of a journalist from the U.K. in Indonesia. Kaiser: The instrumental progressive rock band Animals As Leaders, led by guitarist Tosin Abasi.

Redan nytt avsnitt? Vi är effektiviteten själva och har, snabbt som blixten, spelat in nytt avsnitt. Denna gång ett riktigt långt avsnitt, späckat med rimligheter. Även denna gång dras vi med lite tekniska problem, då vår inspelningsplats för närvarande är ett flyttkaos.  Denna gång avhandlar vi, enligt önskemål, gitarristen Tosin Abasi och hans band, Animals as Leaders. Vi går även igenom två dödsfall i musikvärlden, nämligen Gregg Allman och Chris Cornell. Axel håller en mindre monolog om Gibsons senaste felsteg. Mats pratar en del om Ibanez och hinner, bland annat, nämna en motivlackad USA Custom som passerat det Perssonska hemmet. Vi gör även ett stickspår i Beatlesland, med anledning av Sgt Peppers femtioårsjubileum. Kvällen avslutas med en variant av James Lipton's Proust Questionnaire.

I sit down with Animals As Leaders guitarist Tosin Abasi for an in-depth interview and jam session. We talk about everything from touring to fitness, gear to composition and just about everything in between. As well as playing a little together and trading musical ideas. 

Ricky Tillo, guitarist for Lady Gaga, talked to Danko about them both being from Scarborough, Tim Stewart, Eddie Van Halen, Tosin Abasi, Mike Muir and his new rock band – Knives. The post Episode #127: Ricky Tillo appeared first on Danko Jones.
