Toby Driver talks about seconds: "Smoke-Scented Mycelium" and Talk Talk's "New Grass"

[@JoeyTruant]

Watching one of my favourite musicians play my favourite song from another of my favourite musicians is blowing my mind

[@LorcaLoca]

I love how open you are about your inspirations. RIP Hollis.

[@TalonsOfFire]

Great vid, and cool to hear you praise New Grass. One of the best songs ever made.

[@NightofFungi]

Love Talk Talk, and love your music, Toby. Thanks for sharing. Both such beautiful pieces of music.

[@madProgenitorDeity]

This kind of stuff's great, hope you do more.

Bravo, Toby. I really respect your ownership of the parallels between your work and TT. Thank you.

This kinda stuff is so much more inspiring to me while learning the guitar than watching others shredding and whatnot. I'm fascinated with how a few choice chords can create a whole atmosphere around them. Reminds me a lot of some of my other favourite music in the ambient/electronic genres by people like Rafael Anton Irisarri who often throw a few sounds together and let the atmosphere of them just pulse throughout an entire song. It's not technical competence on display, it's all about the music; sounds that make you feel something. And on a side note: Madonnawhore and They Are The Shield were my most-played albums last year, so I look forward to anything else you might be working on this year and beyond.

Wonderful !! Thank you Toby Driver for sharing your love for music and beauty

[@darksunwithin]

Toby with clean shaven head and full beard looks kinda awesome ..oh wait. Anyhow, cool insight on the most atmospheric and hypnotizing song off TAtS, to me at least. Such a mysterious almost dark vibe, with the slightly lingering dreamy crooning, and especially all the ROOM the synth soundscape has in the intro. Love these kind of songs.

two of my all time favorites

wow!very inspiring! thank you for sharing

[@garytill]

Great video. I love getting insight into your melodies. Love the track and album and also have a huge respect for talk talk, and particularly that album which is obviously an important influence of yours. Can we get an update on the choirs vinyl next? Maybe? Please?

[@kayodotofficial]

Almost all of them have been sent out, so you should email me. :)

[@garytill]

@@kayodotofficial thanks for the heads up. Any update is a good update mate.

[@juanborjas6416]

Please do more videos like this explaining your songs!

[@Diablow101]

Love it

[@safianpsul9099]

Yessss thanks so much for some insight into your harmonic approach! Would you ever do a similar thing with how you write metric rhythm? Stuff like Glyph or the middle of Thief. Those long sequences of uneven groupings rule!
