One of my favorite moments ever is when I met you guys in a soundcheck back in the Altered State tour in Monterrey, Mexico. Amos was the last one in line for the meet and greet and asked him a bass related question about how to get a metallic or percussive sound out of the bass. He was so great explaining to me and taking his time. I will always treasure that moment.
I can 100% tell you i have gotten emotional at a Tesseract show, haven't cried but i wouldn't be surprised if it happened. It's just the combination of the music you create, the atmosphere of your shows, and Dan's vocals which are really tender at times, it tugs at heartstrings. and that's not something i'm embarrassed of at all.
"Chasing this echo of a song that's already turned a corner" - The "Amos Williams" Effect Every musician's creative nightmare whilst - 1. Waiting in traffic n your car engine makes polyrhythmic hymns, an idea blooms n dies in seconds. 2. Opening your book to study for an exam, n ur mind picks up the sound of the ceiling fan rotating n dive into a progressive groove. And the list goes on (-_-)
it's the lyrics and your singer's voice along with the general emotional tone of the music that makes me cry while listening. almost everytime on the first two albums to be 100.
I don't know if Tourniquet ever makes your live set list, but if it did, I gotta think that there'd be a few sticky beer-soaked venue floors washed a little cleaner from the emotions that one creates.
I currently live in spain and it has lovely sites. but man i miss Birmingham city (im from walsall and went back to uk to study in brum). I miss the colourful people with their crazy fashion. So many cultures in one place. so much hussle n bussle. I love it.
Love you guys, hopefully yall will be back in the Dallas/Fort Worth area again. I try to catch you guys every year you're in town. Thanks for the signed drum heads I've gotten from you, maybe one day I can add another to the collection.
When it comes to side projects, I'm surprised only Dan has one in the spotlight. Do the other members have anything going on, or is it just writing and waiting for Tesseract to come around again?
