Let's get to the man of the hour, Michel Teyssier of Fields of Naecluda!

Today on the show, we are digging deeper into the music I love the most.  Today's featured artist (and his band) is a French progressive rock band that brings some of the most incredible and delicate music I've heard in quite some time.  Now, when I say delicate, I don't mean soft.  I mean musical choices where the ideas are there and the band, through compression and dynamics, feeds you this musical data one morsel at a time.  

If you're a fan of Porcupine Tree, Haken, Temic, or Dream Theater, I am 100% positive this band is for you.  Incredibly performed and written, this could be, and SHOULD BE, your favorite new thing.  I love love love it.  .... and you will too.

So...

Ladies and gentlemen... dialing in all the way from the middle of Europe, this is my guest Michel Teyssier!

MONOLOGUE: 

I'm in the process of recording another book, which is a how to... it's a different experience because it's hard to create something evocative that's basically a business how to book.  So, that's been interesting figuring it all out. 

Being home more and working on auditions feels great, but I admit it also makes me feel, at times, kind of pathetic (i get it that it's my own experience as I'm not actually pathetic) because it never fails that the moment I take a break to eat or relax my voice, my family comes home and sees me sitting on the couch. Which... is just great.
