YES! This man is a hero of mine. Amazing interview!
Thanks!
This man is a genius. His works are masterpieces. The last show in Paris was awesome. Thanks Steven to have chosen earth to create...
Artistic and intelligence level....we as music fans are fortunate indeed ! Steven Wilson !
The return of interest to vinyl hasn't quite surprised me as much as how much its stayed. Its proven its not a fad or a quick novelty. There's almost a steady demand for it now and all the record and books stores I go into (even though they're dwindling in number) have vinyl up front. And of course its cool.
But I gotta say as somebody who grew up discovering music in the 90s, the nostalgia for me exists more in CDs. I used to have hundreds until I got rid of them recently (which I'm still somewhat regretful about). I remember as a teen looking at the art, photos and liner notes while getting lost in worlds through the headphones. Even when mp3s started to hit in the 2000s I'd still end up burning them to CDs and making my own mixes (and yes I still bought the albums).
These days that magic is somewhat gone. Music is an aural consumable now with streaming and TH-cam. On top of that you've got a stagnating, cheap thrill music "scene" that doesn't do a whole lot to stand out. In fact I can't even really describe the hallmarks of the 2010s in terms of music. Maybe I'm just jaded and getting old.
As usual Steven talks a lot of sense, he speaks through experience, and how fortunate for his fans that he is so prolific!, in my opinion one of the best live acts at the moment- keep on trucking!!!
Absolutely!
I feel SW's understanding of his own career is spot on and his lack of ego is extremely refreshing. I agree that a bit of radio airplay would do his career a huge service. I'll never understand how music like Sigur Ros and Radiohead could be played on the radio alongside Coldplay or Mumford and Sons, yet Porcupine Tree and Steven WIlson never even get a mention. I sometimes this peoples misconceptions of 'prog' play a huge role in this.
*****
Great story! I've never heard any Porcupine Tree songs on the radio, and only a couple of SW's songs recently. Discovering Steven's music was a revelation for me; the kind of music I've been searching for all my life!
It's partly because PT and SW have been pigeonholed(sometimes somewhat erroneously)as progressive rock(prog). However, his music is as vast as Rush and other great bands in that you can't really pigeonhole it. He(and PT)actually do have a pretty big following and has tons of fans(probably about the same amount as Dream Theater or close to it).
Somehow I still wait for the day Steven Wilson collaborates with Trent Reznor.
Same.
That would be a really interesting collaboration.
I think it's the point now that it comes to whoever proposes to do that kind of collaboration. Last 10 years or so it would seem that Wilson had to kinda ask Reznor, but now I think they could both agree to do something like that for just pure sake of art. I think they are both great artists and that would be just awesome to see what they could come up with. The only sad thing, though, is that it should have happened like 20 (or more) years ago, when they still had, like, you know, it in them. Now it could probably feel fake, just like Tapeworm with Maynard of Tool, if you know what I mean.
I do like buying vinyl and special edition CD / DVD-A / BluRay releases of my favourite music but most of the music I listen to now is streamed. I think it's incredible to have access to nearly every piece of music ever recorded, almost wherever I am, through a device that fits in my pocket.
+essengeebee good point.
essengeebee yes, I have an iPhone that I’ve got a 10,000 song library on, and I think it’s a wonderful thing that I can put almost any album I want on to listen to, I like the 5:1 dvd/cd releases as well though lol
This was, the best show I've ever attend to. Just a great person. I cried. Great interview.
+Thomas Lenglain it was awesome! thanks for watching! hope we did the show justice...
One of the best interviews!
Thanks so much:-)
i had the pleasure to see him two days ago in a smaller club in my hometown. the concert was amazing and i really liked the fact that he talked so much, hes quite funny, i didnt expect that
+Ste Ro totally.
I live in Mexico and never heard Steven Wilson on the radio, I found his music by searching on the internet. Actually there is almost no prog music in mexican radio, prog fans here are people who knows some older people related to prog festivals that were made more often in the past... so you will start listening to prog by recommendation of someone, or because you play some instrument and understand that prog music can lead you to more complex stuff that is funnier to play...
Same in Brazil. There is absolutely nothing about prog on the brazilian media nowadays.
@@lucasljorge there's no prog in Brazil man ;-;
This was a great interview. loved how he articulated the history of music and the direction things have gone.
+Dustin Ruth (stormrider101) thanks! Steven is always a great interview.
Loved it when he said "beg, borrow, or steal". Great video/discussion!
Jim Locke thanks!! Glad you enjoyed it :-)
He's so right with everything he says in this interview!!! Greatest artist of our time!!!
Really nice job on this one. I can't get enough of listening to Steven's philosophy. Given his music is a reflection of his genius, there is something we can all learn from better understanding the process. Well done.
I'm a musician myself, I may listen to all of my music digitally, but I do play a lot of it on my piano, that's where I get the physicality of the music. I feel what Stevens saying though, I do track down physical copies of albums I truly enjoyed, that's a great feeling.
goddamn i love this man, i'll be waiting for you to be back in montreal with a new album!
Cool video. I always love listening to Steven Wilson talk. This video was really well shot too. Nice.
thanks so much!
Nice interview and beautiful photography!
+Lorenz Cuno Klopfenstein Thank you! And thanks from our camera team!
Love these interviews. Keep 'em coming ! Great shots too !
thanks man! we have very talented camerapersons=-)
!!!!
Awesome interview! Really well put together.
+TheGoldenbay thanks so much! we did another vid with Steven last year as well in case you didn't see it: th-cam.com/video/vO5IfGsrTDk/w-d-xo.html
cool to hear Steven talk more in-depth about progressive/prog etc. Great to make the midseason finale a bit longer.
+allmediareviews.blogspot.com thanks! we wanted to give Steven a bit more time. He has a lot to say that should be heard.
@FreqsTV Thank you for this one with SW too...really nice!
You are welcome! Thanks for tuning in!
Fantastic interview, really insightful
Thanks!!
Words!! Thanks for the experience :)
You are most welcome!
Imagine how great it would be if Steven Wilson collaborated with Devin Townsend.
+Isaiah Perry mind blown!
I just got chills down my spine reading that
+Isaiah Perry oh no, Devin sucks so hard
Mel Trome I disagree, but I understand why you would say that. His music is very esoteric, but I enjoy it.
+Isaiah Perry I'd love to see a "making of..." documentary, with the two of them self-producing something together.
Nice production, and great job letting Steven talk in his own voice.
I would love to hear his take on another Steve: the masterful Steve Hillage.
A great video document that brings all his ideas of Prog together.
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it😀
Proud to be one of "his" rebell-kids in music industry. Born in 95 i woudn't describe myself as born into the world of streaming, therefore still in the revolution of CD and MP3. I also enjoy them, if they're good mastered and high of quality. But I honestly think my vinyl-collection is something for me, which has maybe the highest value of all my properties.
A fascinating and brilliant man. Why the fuck are magnificent minds so fucking RARE? If every town in the world had a voicepiece like him, the world sure would be a better place to hang out in.
Great interview - thanks.
You are most welome:-)
Love Steven and everything he has ever done.
Steven is such a wise man .. His speech is so coherent and sane! Great talk.
+Paulo Bernardo indeed!
Direct connection to the brain for ultimate ASMR is the next step.
What he said in the end about mainstream exposure was really interesting
Can we make a genre called "Wilson"?
Love his music and its so unique it needs its own definition.
perfect. love that idea.
The most truest artist ever . He speaks it like it is . It's always a pleasure listening to Steven Wilson, through his art and his mind .
agreed Archer.
Two musicians I could listen to for hours: Steven Wilson and Devin Townsend. Thank God for people like them, colorful coral reefs in an ocean of boring mainstream shit!
okay please interview this bastard again, I'm gonna cry after his speech, everything he said I agreed T.T even the way he talks even from his elbows is the way I talk when I only have to explain something really little >.> Gosh this guy is amazing, great Interview Freqs great work 'n Ill be waiting for you guys to return in a few more weeks l..l_ keep the good stuff up
You caught this other show we did with Steven? th-cam.com/video/vO5IfGsrTDk/w-d-xo.html
Interesting interview, i'm glad you're doing this series
+Valkarus Thanks! Which bands would you most like to see on the show?
+FreqsTV Pain of salvation, Caligula's Horse, Riverside, Anathema, Dark Suns, Animals as Leaders, Trepalium :), thanks for asking
+Valkarus Great list! POS is one of my favs. Perhaps after the new album comes out we can catch them on tour. Riverside is one of my all time favourite modern prog bands. I cannot imagine the loss they are going through. We actually wanted to film them earlier this year and the schedules didn't work out. I regret that. I would love to support them at any point in the future when they are ready.
oh no, i hadn't seen the news yet. it must be devastating for them, so sad..
really great interview
+Rehmos thanks!
This was awesome, no complains at all and it's great to hear all these people speak their minds when it comes to progressive music. I have a request: when you come back, please interview Intronaut!!
+John Coronado Thanks watching! Glad you like the show. We would love to film with Intronaut but sadly we may not be able to catch them on tour in NA as we are based in Munich, Germany. But you never know!
Ohh, I see! I thought you were based in the US... There are so many bands to interview! I'd also love to see Obscura on the show (they're from Germany, so it's your move!) Anyhow, I'll be looking forward to the next episodes and again, thanks for making this happen!!!
+John Coronado Yes actually I'm an American. I moved from NYC to Munich. We have some folks who shoot for us from time to time in NYC so maybe something is possible there. Yeah Obscura is also a great choice! Glad you are digging the show. Lets see what happens in the second half of the season!
I want a Mike Oldfield album, featuring Guthrie Govan on guitar, Marco Minnemann on drums, Jaco Pastorius on Bass, Jacob Collier (contributing to orchestration) and Clodagh Simmonds on vocals, Cory Henry on Hammond Organ and the album to be produced and lyrics by Steven Wilson.
Interesting and very true what he's saying
Love the (probably intended) Pink Floyd reference at 5:37 :)
I arrived at the point where I can only listen to Steven Wilson's voice babling about anything and still feel it soothe me. And I am not even a huge fan apart from a few albums and songs.
+StrangerPage absolutely. let the man talk!
My only issue with modern vinyl releases is that a lot of times the artists forego any attention to the physical vinyl art experience, and don't really provide that "magic of sitting down and listening to the record straight through". I only own about 3 dozen records from modern artists, but usually the inside covers have little to no artwork, and some don't even have the lyrics posted. Wilson is really the only artist I own who maintains that 60s/70s style of extending his music into the artwork displayed on/inside the vinyl case. Of course, I usually end up painting a picture of the artist's work in my own mind, but it's nice to see how the artist imagines their own music on paper (or canvas I guess) and to have another medium through which I can absorb the art. And a lot of times I see that art booklets cost extra and are not part of the CD/vinyl itself. Perhaps I am listening to every artist that's doing it wrong though lol.
Great interview, i really apreciate your job here. What is the name of the end song?
angel espinosa thanks a lot! The song is called Tanerthos by the band Tanertill. tanertill.bandcamp.com/
I actually prefer the Blu-ray/dvd A/dts to vinyl -would like to here anybody else's views on audio quality!
+andy davidson I don't understand that passion people have for vinyl, that format sucks, the sound isn't good, it's fragile, it takes too much space, it's a nightmare to master, etc, etc... It's the equivalent for music of what clay tabs are for writing. But no, people like it, cause the sleeve is big.
Men come ooon, your buying music, art! It doesnt have to be practical or convinient! It is meant to be heard not use to fry a chicken. The vynils are great, It gives you a better look to the artist intentions in the whole package, and you really get what you pay for. Its a different experience
Until they can do 5.1 mixes in vinyl, i don't see the point of buying the vinyl
Good interview! It's pretty interesting what he said about the radioplay in countries like Mexico and in South America. Makes me wonder whether people in other countries would adjust to this kind of music as well if it was played regularly.
By the way, can anyone tell the name of the song played at the end of the video?
Thanks! The song at the end is also the intro song. Its a song called Tanerthos from the band Tanertill:
tanertill.bandcamp.com
Nice! Thank you very much :)
I don't often use the word when Strummer is not involved, but Wilson is a genius.
I hope soon prog rock can dominate the other side of the earth (east) so we can watch them in person.
There is so much left to do with music SW is a very talented man but there is so much we haven't even touched on.
Can anyone tell which song is it in the background
I find it strange how few people seem to hold music in the physical realm and the digital in more equal regard. It seems to be one or the other in so many people's eyes, and fans of the physical use the digital as a practicality but without enjoying the fact.
I feel as Steven and many others do about physical music, and with artists for whom I hold real artistic appreciation I always endeavour to get that experience and their "full artistic vision", but I also love the way digital music can be shared and discovered and propagated with such ease. I can have hundreds of songs on my phone and shuffle them to get a stream of my own musical consciouness as a random concoction while I'm on the way to work. All of this has to me the exact same amount of magic, just a different one.
+Manny Cowdrey-Cuberos I get where some people found "excitement" over getting a CD, and I did to (I bought an Eminem CD as a kid and I remember how hyped I was to get home), but, personally, when I buy an album/song on iTunes, I still find myself listening to it on repeat for days after buying it, even if I've been listening to the album/song over YT constantly (say what you will about YT, it has saved me a shitton of money while also giving me a hint of what I would be buying. Those 30 second blurbs on iTunes don't do favors for a lot of songs I like, especially seeing that most songs I own are over 5 minutes). The only difference between the two is just the instant gratification downloading can get you.
+A Little Bit Older Like I said I absolutely agree with that and experience it too. I just also experience a different kind of enjoyment for the opposite in equal measure.
I love listening to him. Even for me as a German his language is clear, beautiful and understandable.
Absolut!
Vinyl and CD will never go away. Tactile experiences will survive everything..
What a fantastic channel! You guys are awesome.
I am only a casual Steven Wilson/Porcupine Tree fan so forgive my ignorance, but what was the name of the last track that played in the video? It was awesome and I need it in my life.
Awesome thanks:-) actually the music at the end is a song called Tanerthos by Tanertill: www.tanertill.com
This is actually my band and in a few weeks we will have our first two albums available for digital download. Send me an email at randy (at) freqstv.com and I can make sure you know. Cheers \m/
In the meantime, you can hear that song and a few others in full at soundcloud.

+FreqsTV ha! That's awesome! I really dig the small snippet we got. I'll definitely send an email. 😊
I FUCKING LOVE THIS GUY
someone know the background song?
Que venha logo o dia 20 de março de 2016....
Verei o DEUS atuando em São Paulo!
I totally agree on the beauty of CDs and vinyls. However, digital music has much lower postage fees.
This was 6 years ago. Now it has moved forward. Tim Henson! Has done it.
05:57 Holyshit! So True!!
Great interview! Could someone name the background tracks? Thanks.
+Sole2007 Hey thanks for watching=-) The music:

+NineRockBass Vielen Dank für das schöne Feedback! Was oder wen würdest noch gerne gefeatured sehen?
(PS... Wilkommen im Team, wir sind auch alle Bassisten...)
Ihr habt schon einen guten Teil meiner Favoriten abgegrast. Was mir spontan einfällt, wäre: Obscura, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Tesseract und Waken Eyes. Achja, und Krimh.
(Re-PS: Aha, da erklärt sich die ausgezeichnete Auswahl an Künstlern ;P ich geb euch ein virtuelles High-Five)
+NineRockBass ... Ja das ist natürlich eine Auswahl. Aber einen deiner Vorschläge werden sogar in den kommenden Wochen senden. Stay tuned!
What is the exit music? Shazam did not find it. Thankful for help.

cheers!
Anyone knows which city/venue this is that they show in this video?
Vlad Kazimirov absolutely! This is the Gasteig in Munich, Germany. The home of the Munich Philharmonic. Not a typical venue for a rock concert.
FreqsTV thanks for your prompt reply :)
you bet!!
can anyone tell me what is the name of the song that kicks in @ 2:38?
Thanks in advance.
its Steven Wilsons My Book of Regrets from the 4 1/2 EP.
itunes.apple.com/de/album/4-1-2/id1057648926?l=en
Thank you man, you've made my day. :)
awesome!!
Glad this episode was longer
+Karlo Jelincic do you guys want longer videos? is 10 minutes better than 5? thanks for the feedback!
+FreqsTV Yes 10mins is a solid number! Also what song is the theme song played at the start and end of this vid?
+Kevla Button ok we will keep that in mind. Sometimes a day with the band doesn't always allow 10 minutes of entertainment. With Steven it did because he has so much good stuff to say!
+Kevla Button the theme music is a song called Tanerthos from a band called Tanertill. Www.tanertill.com
+FreqsTV Thats awesome! Totally no problem, thank for you for what you guys do!
Genius.
I´m german and it makes me feel good to be a nerd :-)
Where was this filmed?
The Munich Philharmonic in Munich, Germany
I agree with everything he said. It's scary.
It seems that you stopped listening to Dead Can Dance, there will always be "wow" sounds in any given era.
Steven may be greatest musician alive, seriously
ok someone knows the backgroung song of the beggining @freqstv
Yes its song called Tanerthos by a band called Tanertill:
tanertill.bandcamp.com
check it out!
thanks!! and do u know the song in 4:50 ?
its Steven Wilsons My Book of Regrets from the 4 1/2 EP.
itunes.apple.com/de/album/4-1-2/id1057648926?l=en
Music is like everything else, when people are uneducated- its a tough sell.....
He's one of my favorite artists for sure but he's obviously never heard Animals As Leaders lol Never heard anything like that before.
Where is that building located?
This is the Munich Philharmonic or otherwise known as The Gasteig in Munich, Germany.
@@FreqsTV thank you!
@@Garrakx You're welcome!!
F...ng genius
I wish i had a Vinyl player and Vinyl's but unfortunately they cost a bunch in my country so i just stick to CD's
The footage in this is brilliant! And the interview too of course! Though I think Steven sounds a little cynical here :P
+Andy Robison thanks!!
+Andy Robison Yes, the B-roll used over the interview was very cool. I'm going to guess they used a Glidecam and a Panasonic GH4 to capture footage at a higher frame rate to produce slo-mo. It was damn good.
+Doran L. Barton Thanks! We used the DJI Osmo for the Gimbal Shots, for the higher frames rates we used a Sony FS7 with Zeiss Primes
Everything he says past 5 minutes is genius
absolutely.
Where in the South America SW songs are played in radios? Here in Brazil, it will never happen.
`But you know, I`m old`. Ha ha!...
I discovered Opeth, Dimmu Borgir, Mandy Kane, Insommium, Static X and some Rammstein albums just trawling through odd cd stores without even knowing much about those bands. I would buy more modern vinyl if it wasn't so expensive lol. Still love an old record hunt in second hand stores. Most of it is crap but can sometimes find a gem. Love seeing great artwork in album booklets and engaging in the ritual of playing a record, relaxing on the couch with my favourite drink.. listening to classics just zoning out. All played on a decent sound system. No better experience really. Well unless you add a sexual partner.
Thorandir Andaer totally.i discovered a bunch of bands that way. Especially wandering around Vintage Vinyl in New Jersey, Manifest in Columbia, SC and Generation Records in NYC. Half my catalogue of CDs and vinyls come from those stores.
Awesome. Such wonderful nostalgia from albums I randomly discovered. Late nights with headphones on, listening to entire records, reading lyrics and looking at the artwork. The inpatient sugar hit music youths are missing out.
Thorandir Andaer I feel that. I'm still rocking the late night headphone jams with every new album. #noteveryoneunderstands
New Steven Wilson singles have me excited. Good times to come.
Thorandir Andaer me too. The videos are cool. Next one is supposed to be Bollywood inspired. Can't even imagine.
You just have to ask yourself, would you rather have less music and have physical copies of it all or have way more music and stream it. I’d rather have the latter. I care more about the music itself than the physical copy of it.
I feel sad for the one disliker.
+Neeraj Luke haha! totally. whats not to like.
1:20 i disagree, just take Bon Iver's new album for example
Hopeful words from one of the Masters of "progressive" music, however you wanna use that word. And remember: books and newspapers did NOT die with the internet, as was predicted, nor are CDs, DVDs etc going to be replaced by streaming (which suck for a number of reasons, not least of which is that you are at the total mercy of the supplier) as there is that tactile, almost sensual, experience of touching a CD, DVD or whatever..or feel the smell of paper, which no amount of digital tinkering can reproduce.
I watched this and all I could think was...I wish there would be new Porcupine Tree someday.
Wish.. granted!
7:32 Im one of those
0:22 Song?

+Omair Sheikh thanks! Glad you like our channel. More videos on the way!
Woooh im one of those kids haha
*talks about the end of progression* *still plays rock like in the 70s*
