Inside The Artist - "Remergence"

"Remergence"

Ok, so as many of you know I have been super excited about this band Remergence as of late. I think they are great and one of the most refreshing bands out there right now. Last week I was lucky enough to be interviewed by Karen, Remergence's front woman, on her blog Blazing Minds for the segment - "Who's The Band?". It was an awesome experience and I was lucky enough to be able to return the favor! So I sat down with Karen and got some insight into the Inside of Remergence, who they are, how they work and how they feel about some of the issues we face as artists in the new millennium. Here it goes!

• So how did you come upon the name of your band? Is it the first name you chose?I've always been a big fan of Pink Floyd and when I was originally for an artists name, I was listening to Atom Heart Mother and there is was, screaming at me saying "use me!"
• Introduce each member and instrument played or role in the band? Well first of all there is myself Karen Woodham, founding member, most of the work we do is electronic so I would have to say I play computers, keyboards and samples! Jake Jones, JJ, has mainly been the production side of the duo, but on the last album "Lux Lucis Quod Vis Somnium" he came along and did a few tracks.
• So what genre of music would you say you are in and who are your major influences? It has to be the electronica genre as our music is electronic based, I personally have always been influenced by Orbital, Sven Vath and Tangerine Dream. JJ has always had a more classical side.
• How long have you known each other? Where did you first meet up? It's been a fair few years now, I started out as a solo artist and after several albums, I met JJ one day, in a pub of all places, and we got talking about music, so then we became a duo, but decided to keep the name Remergence as it was now a registered band name and it was already firmly rooted in fans minds.
• How long has you band been performing/producing music? What inspired to produce your style of music?I started playing around with music very early on, drums and keyboards were always my forte, but the first album was released in 1997. JJ plays keyboards, bass, guitar and flute! The inspiration for the style of music came from early on when mucking about with samples on computers could produce some interesting sounds!
• Are you signed to a record label (Indie or major)? I have my own label Atom Sounds which I started to promote myself and other bands that I have got friendly with over the years, but have recently been signed to the label EML Recordings..
• Where can people find your music? Do you have an official website?Now this is a big one, you can find our music almost everywhere these days such as iTunes, Amazon, eMusic, Rhapsody, CDBaby, Shockhound to name but a few, you can also download tracks from ReverbNation (www.reverbnation.com/remergence), just do a search for Remergence and stacks of sites will pop up. You can find our official website at www.rembeatz.co.uk .
• Have your ever performed live? If so where and to how many?No! But you just never know, we may do one day...
• Who writes/produces the music and/or lyrics to your tracks? Both myself and JJ produce the music, we have used sample of vocals in the past, but we have also worked with EV from the group Corrientes on our last album on the track I Need You. We are looking to the new album been more "vocal" and our guest vocalists write the lyrics themselves.
• How would you describe your music-making process? It's a creative nightmare, only kidding, it's usually a case of just getting a the love for a certain sound or beat and then creating something from it, sometimes it can be a slow process, but we would like to think it's worth it in the end.. What has been your biggest challenge as a band? Have you been able to overcome that challenge? If so, how?I would have to say that the biggest challenge was getting started! That first attempt trying to get people to hear our music that had never heard of us before and then the struggle to try and build some online presence, so that more people would find and listen to our music, but, we did it in the end and now we have a comfortable following from around the world!
• What’s your ultimate direction for your band? Are you seeking fame and fortune? To have fun! We've never looked at getting rich, though it would be nice, but we just love producing music and as long as we are enjoying do it and people are asking for new material then we'll keep doing it! What advice do you have for people who want to form their own bands? Get yourself a website, not on free hosting, but your own domain name with your bands name, join forums, twitter, social networks and websites that allow you to promote your music for free such as ReverbNation, this will help build your fanbase. Don't rush your first album out, take your time with it and make it special.
• How can fans-to-be gain access to your music? Do you have a website with sample songs or a demo CD? You can listen to a few tracks at ReverbNation (www.reverbnation.com/remergence) where we also have some fan exclusive tracks, you can also stream a good collection of albums on iTunes (www.itunes.com/remergence).
• Is there anyone you’d like to acknowledge for offering financial or emotional support? My family have been very supportive as well as all my friends that I have met over the net in that last few years, that have given me advice, listened to our music and specially those that have given us financial support by purchasing our tracks, albums and merchandise across the net..
• Any last words? Thanks for the opportunity for the interview ;)

There you have it! Thanks so much for the interview Karen! Keep making amazing music!

Interview!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to fill you in on a few quick things. First, I was interviewed by my good friend Karen over at Blazing Minds Blog for her new segment "Who's The Band?" The interview was great and It was a huge honor to have Davidoth be the first band interviewed, I am so psyched about that! Looks like some great new fans were exposed to our music from that interview as well, so I am very grateful for Blazing Minds having me! Second, I will be posting an Interview with Karen from Remergence here friday, as well as a new "Artist of the Week" so stay tuned for that! And Lastly, there may be some upcoming info on the two in-progress Davidoth projects, and the TFH album posted soon, so stay tuned!

Good night tonight.

Tonight was pretty sweet. I spent the evening with my cousin Denver, who I taught the ropes of Engineering and the basics of production. We ended up taking a few runs on a track I was working on before he came over. Then we layed down 2 new tracks that came out pretty sweet! Also earlier today I started penning yet another piano piece, and recorded an early demo of it.
All in all, a sweet night.

Artist of the Week - Remergence : This is Electronica

Artist of the Week: Remergence

If you haven't heard of the English Electronica group Remergence, your missing out! I discovered them a while back on Twitter and have been following the mastermind behind them Karen Woodham since I joined Twitter.

I remember I found them on a #MusicMonday search and Karen had posted there homepage there http://www.rembeatz.co.uk/ , when I got onto the site the embedded music player started running and that was it, I was hooked!

What separates Remergence from other Electronica acts, in my opinion, is the tonal diversity they use in there music. Remergence isn't relying on a single genre of Electronic music that is radio, or rave friendly and getting into a safe spot with it. They are branching out. Sometimes a hard house beat blasting at you, sometimes a trance vibe scoops you up and fly's you into space, and sometimes they use minimalistic expressionism to make you forget there is anything going on around you.. except the music.

I also like that Karen doesn't over dominate, or under dominate her music with vocals. She has a great voice that naturally fits an electronica vibe, but she uses it right. Some songs she will sing all through, other songs she uses her voice as a tool in there arsenal of melodies and delivers outstanding results consistently. No corny, disco boggy fever bull shit. No over synthed techo vocoders. Just a consistently solid vocal range delivered where and when it's needed.

The production quality is spot on. Jake Jones takes the helm on the mixer and does an incredible job of mixing a blend of euphoria and soundscapes, or a sonic wall of power when the song calls for it. Jake also lays down Keys and Drums alongside Karen, and fulfills the mixing, sequencing and engineering duties. Together the duo creates amazing music!

Remergence also takes good care of their fans. Not only does there website stream a near endless amount of material for your listening pleasure, but they offer free tracks, and fan exclusives on a regular basis. Keep your fans happy, and they will keep you happy.

Electronica is a broad, amazing genre of music. People often associate it with raves and clubs, they don't realise that it's in there films, and on there TVs in soundtracks. Remergence is a group that stays true to the roots of Electronica and also paves the future of the genre with there constant innovation and by putting out quality music constantly. I highly recommend them, and if you like good music, especially electronica you need to visit there site and have a listen! You will not be sorry!
