This particular band consisted of ten people on stage, all without click tracks or backing tracks, with the aim of reproducing my work in a new and creative way. A lot of what I’ve done in the past has been very structured, and the opportunity to interpret the music with high degrees of improvisation and flow was a fantastic experience. This song, ‘Genesis’ from my latest album ‘Empath’ seemed an appropriate way to introduce this concert to the audience. It’s kind of an example of ‘musical anarchy’ in some ways- as the song is all over the place structurally to begin with. But to have a chaotic piece of music, played by these extraordinary musicians I had the honour of being with, in a no-holds-barred production was really cathartic. It was about being free to do whatever we wanted in a time where rigid ideas of what is acceptable or not are stronger than ever. I hope you enjoy it. Volume 2 is next and is in a lot of ways the polar opposite to this, but on my journey of musical exploration, I am grateful for all of it, so thanks again for the support.” Dev EMPATH LIVE VOLUME 2 - BY REQUEST SET Saturday 5th September 1pm PDT / 4pm EDT / 21:00 BST / 22:00 CEST / 06:00 AEST Tickets on-sale NOW: https://www.stageit.com/Devin_Townsend Special Event T-shirt available for pre- order now @ www.omerch.com/shop/devintownsend Watch a teaser here: https://youtu.be/XxVx5x6MXoA and behind the scenes vid here: https://youtu.be/LLpI8XqVKZc
