1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 1: That is back from me, and that is Jack Adamant

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,519
and the name of the album, which is I want

3
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:07,040
to make sure I get it right Helium and low

4
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,759
voltage wiring. Like I said, it's a mouthful, but I

5
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:11,720
think we've got Jack on the line with us. Hi, Jack,

6
00:00:11,759 --> 00:00:15,240

00:00:25,879 --> 00:00:27,839
Speaker 1: Now where are you joining us from? Are you in Stockholm?

12
00:00:27,879 --> 00:00:28,839
Is that correct?

13
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:30,359
Speaker 2: That's correct?

14
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 1: Okay? And then so you're originally from Italy? Yeah, yeah, yeah, excellent, excellent.

15
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,840
So what what what took you to Stockholm?

16
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 2: I think it was music related? Oh really, yeah, it

17
00:00:45,359 --> 00:00:46,719
was because of my previous band.

18
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:48,399
Speaker 1: Oh okay.

19
00:00:49,679 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 2: One of the members of the band he moved here

20
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:53,000
before me.

21
00:00:53,679 --> 00:00:56,799
Speaker 1: Oh okay, so then you moved you moved there for

22
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:57,240
the band?

23
00:00:58,560 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, that's correct.

24
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: Interesting. Well, obviously you must like it there because you're

25
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,040
now you're doing a solo thing. But but you're still there,

26
00:01:05,159 --> 00:01:08,200
so is it Is it a great place to live?

27
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 2: I think so? Yeah? Cold? Now he's getting like dark

28
00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:13,319
and cold.

29
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, same here. Yeah, I can relate. Yeah, absolutely absolutely.

30
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:20,799
How long have you lived in Stockholm?

31
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 2: It's more than ten years now, Oh.

32
00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, so you're used to the dark and cold

33
00:01:26,599 --> 00:01:32,200
by now. I would imagine if so, if you ever

34
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,400
truly get used to it, you know, it gets dark

35
00:01:34,439 --> 00:01:37,799
and cold here and and uh where right where we

36
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,400
live where we live where in that time of year

37
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,680
where it's dark at four o'clock in the afternoon, and

38
00:01:41,719 --> 00:01:44,560
it's like, uh, we never quite get used to it.

39
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,519
But but uh, I feel your pain. How cold does

40
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:48,799
it get there? I must get pretty cold?

41
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 2: Right this week is getting a little bit warmer, as

42
00:01:52,799 --> 00:01:58,799
you say, but it's been minus last week snow. Oh yeah,

43
00:01:58,879 --> 00:02:00,719
well it's pretty fine. Yeah, it's fine.

44
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,519
Speaker 1: But at least you're yeah, well you're making some great

45
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,959
music from there, and that's that's wonderful. Can you tell

46
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,159
us about so I'm really curious about the title. Like

47
00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:10,319
I said, it's a mouthful the title of the album

48
00:02:10,719 --> 00:02:15,439
helium in low voltage wiring. What does that mean? I'm

49
00:02:15,479 --> 00:02:16,199
super curious.

50
00:02:17,719 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 2: It came pretty quick. I think we had a list

51
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:28,520
with my drummer Jed and the bass player Vicks, both

52
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,039
of them there still based in Italy, okay, And we

53
00:02:33,039 --> 00:02:36,199
were discussing about the title this new album, and we

54
00:02:36,199 --> 00:02:40,680
wanted to make a list, and on the top of

55
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,919
the list there was this one okay Helium think Yeah.

56
00:02:46,039 --> 00:02:50,479
In the beginning was just Helium okay. And it was

57
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,479
more like I was dreaming and all of a suddens

58
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,479
like I woke up and I was back to reality,

59
00:02:59,039 --> 00:03:01,360
and I was trying to describe that kind of feeling

60
00:03:01,759 --> 00:03:09,560
of dreaming and uh, you know it's like weightless. Yeah,

61
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,879
you feel light and there are no rules and you

62
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:18,960
can dream about anything limitations, and then all of a

63
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,759
sudden you woke up and the reality like put you down.

64
00:03:26,439 --> 00:03:29,879
But I think Ilium it was more like the contrast

65
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:36,000
between something that is like floading and electric wires that's

66
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,599
like ground that we know, that's like it doesn't belong

67
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:45,919
to any wires, to any kind of restriction. It was

68
00:03:45,919 --> 00:03:51,639
that kind of imagery or the picture of something floading

69
00:03:51,759 --> 00:03:54,960
being ground that there was like weird and at the

70
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,400
same time was the right fit for the weirdness of

71
00:03:58,439 --> 00:03:58,960
this album.

72
00:03:59,319 --> 00:04:02,879
Speaker 1: Okay, No, I like it. I like it. I was

73
00:04:02,919 --> 00:04:05,159
reading about you, so is now is this true that

74
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,960
you you started playing guitar when you were twelve and

75
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,599
you began writing when you you were learning to mix

76
00:04:11,759 --> 00:04:14,159
on a on a tape recorder that you wanted a

77
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:15,479
street raffle. Is that true?

78
00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:20,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true, that's true. Oh wow, funny memories.

79
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: Do you think you would have me? I mean, had

80
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,399
that had you not won that recorder in the street raffle,

81
00:04:25,399 --> 00:04:27,519
do you think you would have you would have gone

82
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,360
forward with your I mean that was literally the start

83
00:04:29,399 --> 00:04:32,279
of your recording career, right, Like, do you think that?

84
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,240
Do you think you still would have found your way

85
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,199
there to doing what you're doing now? Because it's so

86
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,319
interesting now. Sometimes these little moments you know that happened

87
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,439
when we're kids, You know, they can they can set

88
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,519
a series of events in motion that that shape your

89
00:04:44,519 --> 00:04:45,800
whole life and career.

90
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 2: My parents they didn't really want me to buy a guitar,

91
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,319
so I was already struggling there to find a way

92
00:04:55,399 --> 00:04:58,639
to either to buy a new guitar, to buy a

93
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,959
guitar that was my my first, or to build my

94
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,560
own guitar. Yea, so I remember that I was like

95
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:13,199
carving a hole in a biscuits, uh thin, Yeah, And

96
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,360
I was trying to make my own, my own guitar.

97
00:05:16,959 --> 00:05:20,800
But it was a kind of a failure. It didn't

98
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,839
work out. So the the easiest way was just to

99
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,600
bag my parents. It's like, please, I'm gonna I'm gonna

100
00:05:27,639 --> 00:05:30,759
behave at school, I'm gonna do whatever you asked me for,

101
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,319
but just buy me a guitar. They were a little

102
00:05:34,319 --> 00:05:37,439
bit skeptical because you don't know how to play guitar.

103
00:05:37,519 --> 00:05:40,279
You what you have to do with your guitar. It's

104
00:05:40,319 --> 00:05:44,279
just yeah, it's just my way to start learning and

105
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,680
and not being distracted, but to do something new.

106
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so they so obviously they ultimately relented, and

107
00:05:51,879 --> 00:05:53,839
I'm sure looking back they're very glad that they did,

108
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:00,720
or at least I would hope so right without so yeah, yeah,

109
00:06:00,759 --> 00:06:04,879
So and then did you like growing up, did you

110
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,399
kind of dabble in different genres or because I hear

111
00:06:09,439 --> 00:06:12,079
a I definitely hear a mix of influences in your music.

112
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,519
I'm really curious about about your you know, the process

113
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,680
of you know, learning the guitar, and then like what

114
00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:19,680
did you get into musically, what were some of your

115
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,959
influences growing up and while you were learning.

116
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 2: We say, in my previous band, I was playing bass

117
00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:29,959
and singing, and it was more like a hard rock band,

118
00:06:30,199 --> 00:06:36,439
but heavily inspired by bands like Diners or Junior, near

119
00:06:36,519 --> 00:06:42,600
Vara and Mad Honey. I was saying, well, I always

120
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:47,519
like these songs that they really didn't fit the groove

121
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,879
of the nature of this band. So I was planning

122
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,680
to release them in a in some way or in

123
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:58,040
some format, and there was like the reason why I

124
00:06:58,079 --> 00:07:03,199
started this solo project. And so the influences then changed

125
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,279
a little bit. I was more in liking to j

126
00:07:07,519 --> 00:07:13,360
mask like solo acoustic project that he had beside then

127
00:07:13,839 --> 00:07:17,959
besides times a Junior or a neutral Milk Hotel. This

128
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:22,480
kind of like the first release that I had, like

129
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,360
launch or twelve since s aty two and then we

130
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,879
were talking about twenty seventeen. The one was like a

131
00:07:29,959 --> 00:07:37,800
kind of five songs stripped down. Yeah, and from there

132
00:07:37,839 --> 00:07:41,800
it's like I felt, I fact, there was something missing,

133
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,360
Like I enjoyed the fact that like there was an

134
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:51,360
epy acoustic and very intimate, but I felt that it

135
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,120
was the sound was not really there was something new

136
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,680
to be able to be evolved a little bit more.

137
00:07:58,079 --> 00:08:02,160
And then when you when again touch with my actual

138
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,959
drummer Judd and we started working on that on a

139
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:13,920
new sound and more like inspired by Smashing Pumpkins, moving

140
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,560
to into that kind of direction and we want to

141
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:21,319
have like more heavy guitars and drums, like reading in

142
00:08:21,439 --> 00:08:27,879
front of everything. We always like play. We always joke

143
00:08:27,959 --> 00:08:31,079
about like having the snare sound is at the same

144
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:37,600
level of a voice the vocals right right, kind of drastic.

145
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,240
So that was the Still like I think it's still

146
00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:46,759
like grunge and alternative rock still like enjoy listening to

147
00:08:46,879 --> 00:08:52,840
Dinas Junior, Sabadel or the Smashing Pumpkins and weud Nothings

148
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,559
can be like a good influence too, or the Get

149
00:08:55,639 --> 00:08:56,960
Up Kids as well.

150
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's definitely evocative of those bands. Yeah, I definitely

151
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:06,879
hear the Dinosaur Junior influence absolutely So. Now the so

152
00:09:06,919 --> 00:09:10,799
the band you have now, are any of these members

153
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,039
from from the band you were in before you went solo,

154
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,360
any of the same people or.

155
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 2: I think maybe they were. One of them was one

156
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,519
of the founders, but then he left the.

157
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,039
Speaker 1: Band okay later on, Okay.

158
00:09:25,759 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 2: So the bass play of it. He was one of

159
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,399
the founders of the Ballyriana, my first like my first band,

160
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,600
gotcha and they're still in Italy, So the only time

161
00:09:37,639 --> 00:09:41,879
that we actually have time to gig and to record

162
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,759
and rehearse together is like when we are all like

163
00:09:45,919 --> 00:09:50,879
in the same place and this usual ups upends like

164
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,879
three four times a year. But yeah, we have managed far.

165
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you know, we live in a time

166
00:09:58,799 --> 00:10:02,080
obviously too where you know you can as far as recording,

167
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,120
you know, you can send tracks back and forth and whatnot.

168
00:10:05,159 --> 00:10:07,440
But do you restrict that to when those few times

169
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,159
that you're actually able to get together or do you

170
00:10:09,159 --> 00:10:12,440
ever do you record remotely where you're sending tracks back

171
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,720
and forth via dropbox or anything like that.

172
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 2: Yes, changed a little bit, it's not the same anymore.

173
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,240
But I'll say we try to do everything when we

174
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,559
are together, so it is more like the idea of

175
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,200
the band and working together on the same on the

176
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:34,600
same thing right after that we have released this new record.

177
00:10:34,759 --> 00:10:38,759
Now it's just the goal is mainly like rehearsing and

178
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:39,679
play live.

179
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:45,519
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Now as far as playing live, because you know,

180
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,799
because they're in Italy, I mean, do you do solo

181
00:10:47,799 --> 00:10:50,159
acoustics shows or do you play with another band or

182
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,279
how does that work? I mean, are you actively playing

183
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,159
live shows without the rest of the guys or how

184
00:10:56,159 --> 00:10:57,240
does that? How does that work?

185
00:10:58,039 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 2: Yeah? I enjoy doing doing both.

186
00:11:00,279 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

187
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,039
Speaker 2: So it's like when when I'm there with them, then

188
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,799
it's like it's the perfect time to play together. When

189
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,039
when I'm one my own, then if there is any

190
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,279
chance of playing live, then I can. I can do

191
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,879
like a striped down version of those songs, and he

192
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:14,639
works as well.

193
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I would imagine that these songs work well

194
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:24,000
if you're just doing a solo acoustic uh presentation. I

195
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,480
would imagine. I mean, when you're writing these, do you?

196
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,759
I assume you start out as you and the guitar, right,

197
00:11:34,639 --> 00:11:35,399
it can be different.

198
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,039
Speaker 2: I played bass, I play a little bit of ukulele.

199
00:11:38,519 --> 00:11:43,519
Speaker 1: You do you play the ukulele? N interesting? Oh that's

200
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,919
interesting too, that you play the ukulele. That's wild.

201
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I said, you can start from from any instrument.

202
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,279
I can play a little bit of piano too, Okay. Uh,

203
00:11:56,519 --> 00:12:00,879
it's not really like exclusively playing like the first chords

204
00:12:00,919 --> 00:12:04,039
on a guitar. So it can also be like humming

205
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,720
a melody and then start writing the lyrics. So I

206
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,799
don't really have I don't really have like a routine

207
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:15,879
or rule that I follow strictly every time. So it's

208
00:12:15,919 --> 00:12:18,399
like if I have, yeah, I would say the most

209
00:12:18,399 --> 00:12:20,960
important thing that I have a story or I heard

210
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:26,519
something from from from someone or it's me myself experiencing

211
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:32,679
like something that uh, there's a mark in me and uh,

212
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,720
and then I start from there. When when I usually

213
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,200
like start on a guitar, I usually experiment a little

214
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,240
bit with the with the tuning or staying away from

215
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:47,960
like the normal chord shapes or the shapes or any

216
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,200
chords can use like a cape or Yeah. But just

217
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,559
even if it sounds weird at the at the beginning,

218
00:12:55,799 --> 00:12:58,759
I don't care. Just for me, it's important that doesn't

219
00:12:58,799 --> 00:13:04,320
sound this sounds a little bit unusual. That's what I'm

220
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:05,039
looking for.

221
00:13:05,919 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get the impression that that's important to you is

222
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,519
to be able to experiment and and create different sounds,

223
00:13:11,519 --> 00:13:15,759
different textures that you know that are maybe outside of

224
00:13:15,759 --> 00:13:19,279
the mainstream or because you know, instead of just kind

225
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,720
of doing your standard sort of you know, three chord

226
00:13:21,799 --> 00:13:24,320
rock or whatever. Not that there's anything wrong with that obviously,

227
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,159
but but but it does seem like it's important even

228
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,840
just listening to the album. You know, I listened to

229
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,279
the whole thing all the way through and and each

230
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,519
song has unique elements that make them stand out, but

231
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:40,840
they all form a very very much a cohesive listening experience,

232
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,799
which brings me to the question, is there is there

233
00:13:43,799 --> 00:13:46,159
a theme to the album itself? I mean, you talked

234
00:13:46,159 --> 00:13:48,080
about the title, but what about the album itself? I mean,

235
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:49,919
is there is there kind of a theme or a

236
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,480
story running through the album? Because I kind of feel

237
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,960
like there might be, but I'm not quite sure.

238
00:13:56,639 --> 00:13:59,519
Speaker 2: For so, Matta, I appreciate the commitment in going through

239
00:13:59,519 --> 00:14:01,799
the old albums, Yeah, I appreciate it.

240
00:14:02,039 --> 00:14:03,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it.

241
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, but for sure there is like a team. And uh,

242
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,720
when I'm I'm writing, I'm mean it's my meme mainly

243
00:14:12,759 --> 00:14:16,840
that he is writing the songs. And I always like

244
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:21,159
having mind the idea of writing a full album, full record.

245
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:26,000
So when I start writing a few lines or the

246
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,960
few chords for songs and the many the structure of songs,

247
00:14:30,519 --> 00:14:32,759
I always keep in mind like, Okay, this is going

248
00:14:32,799 --> 00:14:36,559
to end up in the record. So also it's like

249
00:14:36,639 --> 00:14:40,759
if the team is like depression or anxiety. So I

250
00:14:40,799 --> 00:14:43,799
already touched this theme on my in my previous songs.

251
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,080
For considering that it's gonna be in the in the

252
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,320
same record. The next team is gonna be different and

253
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,080
the same. With the structure of the songs, It's like,

254
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,120
if I have already songs starting with the with the

255
00:14:54,159 --> 00:14:58,360
intro with a verse, then I try to have the

256
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,759
kind of variety so that it doesn't follow the same structure,

257
00:15:02,799 --> 00:15:07,600
and when someone goes to the the full record, it

258
00:15:07,639 --> 00:15:11,000
doesn't feel like, Okay, now it's the same song over

259
00:15:11,039 --> 00:15:13,519
and over again. It just is boring, you know what

260
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:13,840
I mean?

261
00:15:14,879 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that makes sense, that makes sense. Now, what

262
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,679
what's kind of the future trajectory for you? You know,

263
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:24,879
the album is great. I imagine you're you're focused on

264
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,759
promoting the current album, But I'm curious, I mean, do

265
00:15:27,759 --> 00:15:29,480
you already have because you strike me as someone who's

266
00:15:29,519 --> 00:15:32,600
probably constantly writing. I'm sure you've got a lot of

267
00:15:32,639 --> 00:15:34,919
ideas for the next for the next album or the

268
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,320
next EP already. Are you? Are you already thinking that

269
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,320
far ahead? Are you kind of focused on the moment

270
00:15:39,399 --> 00:15:41,480
or what's what's kind of the short term or even

271
00:15:41,519 --> 00:15:43,240
the long term future for you?

272
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,879
Speaker 2: Actually, we were discussing with the with the other guys

273
00:15:46,919 --> 00:15:50,200
about the promotion on this record, and now we are

274
00:15:50,639 --> 00:15:57,360
releasing like an acoustic version of Touching Nothing because as

275
00:15:57,399 --> 00:16:00,240
we as we said, some songs they were born like

276
00:16:00,679 --> 00:16:03,679
on an acoustic guitar, so it's nice to share also

277
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,440
how they sounded in the in the very beginning we're

278
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,879
being produced and uh, then we have a lot of

279
00:16:11,919 --> 00:16:16,279
B sides as well. It's like we usually don't restrict

280
00:16:16,279 --> 00:16:19,360
ourselves and writing only ten songs for the record, and

281
00:16:19,399 --> 00:16:22,960
then you you're going to release the record, there's something

282
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,960
missing or you need to change a song, and then

283
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,960
you have to write like a last minute song. It's

284
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,120
always good for us to have like plenty of songs

285
00:16:31,159 --> 00:16:33,360
for the record and then deciding which one they will

286
00:16:33,399 --> 00:16:35,720
be in there in the in the in the record, right,

287
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,519
so all those songs that they've been left behind, so

288
00:16:39,559 --> 00:16:41,840
we want to release them in like a kind of

289
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:47,080
B side album in the future. Cool. So that's yeah,

290
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,759
that would be.

291
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's very cool. That's very cool. By the way, Jack,

292
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,440
how do you say your last name because I don't

293
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,440
know if I'm saying it? Is it adamant edamind?

294
00:16:58,480 --> 00:16:59,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's correct, mt okay good.

295
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: I just want to make sure I was saying it correctly.

296
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,759
Very good, very good. Well where should people go to

297
00:17:06,839 --> 00:17:08,880
keep up with everything that you're doing? Where's the best

298
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,640
place for people to go online to keep up with

299
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,240
everything that Jack Adamant is doing.

300
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,319
Speaker 2: We try to be a little bit everywhere because we

301
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,839
never know where people can be more active. So we

302
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,480
are on Instagram, we are like on Twitter, we are

303
00:17:23,519 --> 00:17:30,039
on Facebook of course, Spotify, YouTube or Apple Music, a

304
00:17:30,079 --> 00:17:32,680
little bit everywhere. So yeah, we use like we have

305
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,240
a distributor, so every time that we upload our music,

306
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,680
at least we hope that you will ended up in

307
00:17:39,759 --> 00:17:43,640
as many platforms as possible so that people can easily

308
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,200
find us and listen to every music. Right.

309
00:17:46,319 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: Absolutely. You know, there's there's a term that I like

310
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,839
to use, discoverability. It's so important to have your music

311
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,960
everywhere so that people can discover it. Absolutely that that's

312
00:17:58,039 --> 00:18:00,839
that's really the key. Uh Well, well, Jack, thank you

313
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,519
so much. This has been wonderful to talk with you.

314
00:18:02,599 --> 00:18:04,119
Like I said, I do love the album, and I'm

315
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,160
also going to I haven't had a chance yet to

316
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,359
listen to your your earlier work, but I am going to.

317
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,720
It's all on band camp, which is very convenient. But

318
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,160
I do but I do encourage everyone to check out

319
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,559
Helium and Low Voltage Wiring. Great great album. Listen to

320
00:18:18,559 --> 00:18:21,400
it all the way through it really it's just really good.

321
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,160
And like I said, each individual song, you know, it's

322
00:18:24,279 --> 00:18:28,880
it comes together. It forms a cohesive listening experience, but

323
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,039
each song also has its own unique elements that I love,

324
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,440
and it's just it's a great listen So I encourage

325
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,880
everybody to check it out. But and I really appreciate

326
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,160
you joining us, Jack, and we will definitely do this

327
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:41,880
again in the future as soon as you have something new.

328
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,119
We absolutely need to have you back because we really

329
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:45,880
love what you're doing.

330
00:18:47,799 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 2: Thanks at very appreciated.

331
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,559
Speaker 1: Absolutely. I think I'm going to close out our segment

332
00:18:52,599 --> 00:18:55,839
with this track Taught You Nothing. This is another favorite

333
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,720
of mine from the album. Anything we should know about

334
