Greetings from New York City. I just listened to some of your music particularly Lightworker and Moonpeople. I've been struggling with a pretty bad bout of depression, feeling pretty hopeless about life right now. Your music really lifted my spirits Thank You.

I'm late to the Devin Townsend party. We share the same birthday (his being a few years later than mine), but somehow I had never heard of him before 2 weeks ago. At first, I couldn't figure out what I was hearing, or whether I loved it or hated it. It didn't take *too* long before I recognized his voice and his work for being fucking groundbreaking, and then I hated myself for not having run into it before now. Better late than never, I suppose, but Devin has a fan for life here.

Best ideas are usually the first, a great Finnish producer Jaani Peuhu told me. Second guessing is part of the game

In 2006 I had been in a studio in CO and after much second guessing on my drum parts, the producer said, “every decision by a musician is a deep rabbit hole. Trick is to look down it, don’t fall down it.” Was good advice.

I’ve been watching your updates but in particular for the past 2 weeks I’ve only been able to sleep if I watch them. It scares me that I’m becoming dependent on it but I do like the consistency of a routine sleep. It’s always been hard to sleep and stay asleep. Your thoughts/ideas are relatable and over- power the ruminating. It is just the right amount of processing to send my brain into a safe mode. Thanks for all that you share.

I have found the same thing. Listen back to stuff I have ‘perfected’ only to realise the magic happened on the first take, warts and all. Good thing is few people listen to my stuff so I can please myself. Different kettle of fish at your level I should think. Good luck with it, I am sure it will be epic. Looking forward to hearing it.

I like that idea he was talking about at the 3:00 marker about the planned artwork influencing sound choices towards the overall concept. Also the part about retracking demos and how it can sometimes lose a little "something" during the reconstruction / reproduction stage is very relatable. Keep up the great work Mr Devin!

Oh man I absolutely can relate. The vibe of an accurate track can totally ‘de-fang’ the one that captured the first one used for the concept/vision. I think there’s an emotional connection we make to certain recordings that we have to mindfully hold-onto…or do the opposite-with. At the end of the day, those cliff notes have to become your doctrine that is always available to reference. And when you get it right, you physically feel it upon listen. When you don’t…it’s limbo.

It’s funny: I purposely try to leave “artifacts” in my playing that most would re-record …. But I’ve been finding that these little inconsistencies in my playing and performance are the things that make me smile and stand out as a cool nuance months after the process. Especially with synth, as that can already start to feel very rigid at the best of times Character And I love it Love ya Dev 💜

I'm in the same boat right now making my Album, I had to make the Art work and feed off that to get up the hill and get back on track. Sometimes taking a break is the best thing to do because music is not to be rushed but we all have that in the back of the mind get it done before we lose that Motivation. I always make the Blue Print of each song then get back to it. Keep it going, Cheers

Man, same thing happened with the track i'm working on. In my head and how it started it had this energy. A type of rawness that just disappeared as soon as I sat down and recorded it. Yet doing it raw, to coin a phrase. It sounded kinda weak and sloppy. It's ended up being a blend of the two where I have the raw track but that's supported by a more precise track on the bassier end that makes sure it hits where I want it to sound big. No idea if it's the right thing to do but it started to sound right. Keep on truckin brother.

Music needs a bit of error factor in it. My opinion but I think it's valid. Just listen to any rock that was recorded live off the floor before recordings were pieced together, rhythmically quantized, pitch corrected and auto tuned to death. Rough around the edges just suits me fine!

Perhaps the rough sound DT is looking for is simply the live sound? Remember watching a docu on Springsteen, where he wasn't satisfied with the sound of the drums (he kept saying he could hear "stick"); it seemed pretty obvious that the raw sound would be playing it live.

It is true that modern recordings are so precise: drums are locked to the grid, vocals are fine tuned, etc... Having said that, I've watched videos where people have taken old recordings and edited them the way it would have been edited nowadays and it just doesn't sound right. What do you think about that "perfect VS human" (or whatever you wanna call it) balance?
