AARON TURNER - Evil Greed Interviews

[@tylerrodgers8205]

Aaron is probably my favorite musician. He's super humble. I ordered a few things off of his store, and he graciously sent extra stuff just because. Everything the man touches turns to gold.

[@thommysaraceno2862]

I went to art school with Aaron - He was always creating work that folks were in awe of even as a 20 something. It's been so great to watch and listen to the artist he's has evolved into. Super nice guy too.

[@patrickbertlein4626]

Didn't know he went to art school, mixed feelings about that to be honest...

[@ninasazonova2511]

He speaks so clearly and slowly. I so much appreciate this!!! That's amazing how easily and completely I can underhand him! We're fans from Ukraine.

I had the pleasure of seeing Isis’ final show in addition to meeting the band afterward. All of them were incredibly kind and gracious to my 17 year old self and to this day Aaron remains an inspiration. Thank you for this!

[@farhadabdollahi6439]

No one inspires me as much as this guy does. A totally visionary musician who touches your soul with his sounds of walls. God bless you Aaron

[@aryanpugilist]

Aaron is a brilliant arrist and musician. Isis has always been such an important band for me and helped me get through some tough times as well. When I heard that Sumac were playing a show near me, I thiught I'd go check it out, even though I hadn't even heard them yet. That first show changed my life! They were so loud and so tight also despite how experimental and intricate the music is. That fisrt show chamged how I listen to music and also how I write my own music. I've since seen Sumac live several times and it is always such a blast to bare witness to. One time I saw them in Brighton and I went nextdoor to the venue for a drink and when I went for a quick piss, low and behold, Aaron was there washing his hands in the sink next to me! I don't generally like asking for photos anymore, because I feel like it's kind of meaningless really, but at that time, I was star struck and had to ask him to get a picture with me. He was so nice and after getting the bar staff to take a photo of us, we walked back to the venue together and had a chat about music and how loud Sumac is. I told him Sumac are one of the loudest bands I've ever seen, along side Meshuggah and he laughed. Any music he puts out ends up being absolute magic!

Aaron is such an incredibly talented and thoughtful musician

[@NothingMatterz]

I had the honor to exchange dialogue with this guy once. He's really intelligent in how he approaches his craft, and how he reflects on how his craft affects others who find solace in his craft. He is a legend. Respect.

[@fundament666]

Always enjoy hearing Aaron on his craft, this interview is no exception. His emphasis on following his instincts rather than any prescriptive path I found to be especially resonant. That’s what Aaron’s been doing his whole life and career in music and art, long may it continue and of course evolve.

[@portcornernoise]

I admire Aaron for so long, and I love the fact that Aaron admires LoC.

[@Ghostlydustup]

Some of the best moments I’ve had playing guitar by myself, are the moments I’m unaware, and the feeling of something trying to come through is very present. Where the hairs stand up on your neck. Ego is the other side of that, and is just as useful when bringing structure to something. Aaron draws so well from both. One of my favorite artists.

[@DavidSGrop]

Seeing Sumac live last year was one of the best things that's ever happened to me. Hopefully I get to catch Aaron live at some point.

[@CamiloGaetePuga]

One of my musical heroes

[@femkilmer2909]

Amazing interview. Long time admirer of Aaron’s work both of his music (Isis, OMG, Mamiffer, SUMAC, etc.) & his visual art (album & tattoo art). I had the privilege of record trading with him (first & remains the only time I ever done that) a few years ago. That was an experience I’ll never forget & I’m forever grateful he took a leap of faith & traded records with a complete stranger least of all a fan of his. Upmost respect for this man. 🙏

[@aaronedgeart]

A legend in my atmosphere, in sight and in sound.

[@Dnll88]

Awesome!

[@vealslab7757]

My friend Rafael just shared this with me Glad to see you're working at it

[@hevel_havalim]

Awh man, it's so sick to see your hero wearing the same hoodie I wear almost everyday. Such a cool and humble dude.

[@mazumaja]

thank you Aaron

This is great.

El Jefe ⚡ great interview, hope he can come to Mexico as a solo artist or with Sumac or with Old Man Gloom, we love their music!

Sumac is a great band,Zack is a great drummer and Joe Preston is a bass player,i met the band when they played a small venue in Dallas

[@dissolution_wave8875]

yeahhh my man

[@muratakcan1299]

Isis sounds back when Aaron ?!

[@Rando-b2s]

His harsh vocals will always be something I strive to achieve.

[@Rando-b2s]

Isis/Celestial reunion when?

[@barfymann362]

I miss Celestial, they were such an integral part of that time in my life. I wish Aaron and Michael would team up again for a project.

[@ileutur6863]

I'll always have respect for Aaron because of the music he created and promoted, but this noise stuff just isn't doing it for me. Brutality works when it is contrasted with harmony and lightness, which is what made Isis amazing. When you have just one element, its interesting for about 2 songs and then you're just left repeating yourself.

[@Hontonoki]

it's a shame you couldn't get into it, it'd open a whole additional landscape to peruse. Sumac also didn't do it for you?

[@Hontonoki]

I used to think/feel the same way, but then the repetition got to me and now I can only put on a couple Isis tracks after prolonged period of non-exposure. But then again, I create music too, so maybe I seek different things in it depending on what it is. Free improv and the contrast of absolutely genius drumming in Sumac coupled with abrasive guitars really inspire my own creativity

[@ileutur6863]

@@Hontonoki I was a standard metalhead for years before discovering the more ambient and progressive side of it. I've listened to enough pummeling riffs, so when a band offers just that, I feel like there's something missing

[@patrickbertlein4626]

I don't imagine the average Isis fan getting into something like noise, but the average Isis fan to me is a massive Tool/Deftones fan and is perhaps somewhat aware of Neurosis.
