When you’re creating something, there’s usually a moment where you have to stop second-guessing and just commit. That instinct runs through this issue, with Atlanta prog-metal heavyweights Mastodon gracing the cover. Guitarist Bill Kelliher takes us through their new record Marrow Deep, and why it all comes down to trusting the riff and letting it take you where it wants.
On the same note, we chat with Sydney’s FRIDAY* about his new EP rituals and his process using Ableton Live.
It’s also our Integrate special, the annual meeting point for Australia and New Zealand’s AV industry, where the whole sector comes together to see what’s possible and where AV is heading. There’s a lot of innovative tech in these pages, and only a glimmer of what you’ll find on the ground floor this September.
Riff-pigs, beatmakers, tech-heads, six-string slingers – whatever you answer to, there’s a lot to dig into here. Take a seat, pour your drink of choice and enjoy.
