Sorry about the last two weeks...got into a good writing flow, then went to the NAMM show, but back and rolling now...hope your projects are going well =) -Dev
I love you, Devin. I’ve been following your journey for nearly 30 years. There are a lot of parallels between your life and mine. I had the opportunity to see you on the Dreamsonic Tour in Orlando last year, and it was a dream come true. Your transition into your authentic self over the years has been inspiring to watch, and that’s what I’m most excited about with this new project. Take care, man. I appreciate you. Thanks for the connection.
For real, and I relate a lot as well :) I was showing my girl a video of love w SYL live, then from retinal circus, she really noted how he's grown just by seeing how he carried himself. He's kept growing and is an inspiration for light seekers and the open hearted, and for those who seem to become those things themselves.
As an angsty teen, SYL was huge for me, and as Dev moved forward, I was growing as a YA, tho he's almost a decade older, his transitions have mirrored mine... but since I've transitioned my gender expression, I appreciate this process so much more - we're ALL on a journey to find ourselves, there's no right or wrong path, except connecting with your true self and letting that light shine through the flesh (the new flesh)
Dev - please, please, please get Chad Kroger on the podcast to talk about music creation. That would be the most epic meeting of the minds in the history of music.
I think the worth of these post is it shows the "thinking" of music. So much of UA-cam is the "Doing" of music. I find this more useful as the "Thinking" realizes the "Doing"
Its like a full plate. You can eat whatever parts you want when you want, and they're all good. In the end you're fed well and you can feel good. Your enthusiasm is contageous Dev. Thank you!
It's funny, the way you describe Powernerd sounds a lot like how I would describe Ocean Machine or Accelerated Evolution. Likewise, the way you describe The Moth puts me in the headspaces of Empath and The Puzzle. It'll be interesting to see what, if any, DNA of the older works exist in the new and how the various current projects will play against each other.
Sorry to be late to the party... Found you through Lightwork... Thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the commentary on the Blu-ray. Immediately bought two more as gifts. Looking forward to your future journeys.
My dad was talking about that today. He said “why doesn’t Devin just focus on one album and knock it out”. I wouldn’t want it any other way. I can’t wait for casualties 2, powernerd, and dream peace to fully develop naturally… like a moth 😂
A lot of people underestimate how important it is for the audience to know their favorite creators enjoy the creative process. Nothing brings me peace like Devin's music. Not only is it enjoyable and awesome on itself, the knowledge of it coming from an authentic, honest creative process makes it that much more enjoyable. Love from Colombia, Devin. Your fans think of you and wish you the best from all over the world.
Devin, my brother, thank you for existing, ive played music for around 40 yrs now and ive followed you since i heard you on the sex and religion album by Steve Vai , man you have grown and morphed musically into something amazing, brother im in awe at your music, you are my greatest inspiration and you are a legend brother, you inspire me in ways i cant explain man, thank you brother \m/
One HUGE thing that helped has me deal with Leukemia treatments and dealing with my own thoughts was listening to your Xmas quarantine concert at Halloween. I’d already sort of heard both your Halloween and Xmas concerts a few years earlier, and I enjoy Steve Vai in the Halloween one but chose to pick the opposite of my initial preference. Everything you said was something I was dealing with immediately, and no longer the quarantine bs chaos. Your words, your powerful voice were better than words I could put together to deal with my same emotions and miscommunications with those I love. You were playing an Alan Watts, expressing a wish of just peace ✌️ . On the same visit my nurse kept saying “Zen out” you both helped big time with learning to do that. I found more Alan watts chill step and it would could just put me to sleep but also in a different state of mind. Keep going, keep it together but make time to zen out.
i think also, the amount of energy required to manifest these ideas is so great that we need to take time away from projects so as to rebuild and replenish those reserves of energy.
Alejandro Jodorowsky Chilean (French) filmmaker - Holy Mountain. A masterpiece. I can understand if people may not think so if they watch it, but it is. Devin, all I can say is that I appreciate everything you do. You are an artist and have therefore a creative mind were many ideas have taken form and will do so for ever. I can understand it can be chaotic when so many ideas want to come out at the same time. I'm so happy to be one of your fans and be part of your amazing journey as artist. I saw you perform Lighthwork in Barcelona, which was of the roof, and you ended with LOVE which was such a surprise and treat. Listening to one of your latest creation but also having the great opportunity to hear one of your previous and most powerful songs. Loved it! Keep doing whatever your heart, mind and soul tells you to. I'll be here ready for everything. Thank you, you are amazing!!! The moth it's going to be another epic creation for sure.
This was a great update, through and through. I love that Dev has so many outlets & projects with different energies that he has to purge these ideas on a subconscious level before returning to the project that's requiring 100% of his focus. These updates are such a beautiful insight to how the artistic brain works. It's very fascinating. I look forward to The Moth & The Moth (Dev Cut/ Penile Version) as well as CoC & Power Nerd. Cheers, Dev!
Devy, we love and appreciate your music, your passion and your commitment... but you don't owe anything to us! You work on your scale and timeline, and we'll be patient. I can't speak for everyone, but I will love what you create the most when it comes to you as your life unfolds. You're an inspiration to me and many others. Stay true my friend!
I relistened your Steve Vai interview and I must say, the second listen I got even more out of it, since it is really dense (in a good way!) Perfect for every artist who experiences some sort of writer´s block, this conversation is gold! In case you haven´t relistened (I bet you did) I would highly recommend it. Maybe you should work together again at some point. When you mentioned the collaborative feel of your previous conversations about the moth, maybe it is already happening on one or another level?
Devin, I’ve been listening to your music since 2003, and following your career up to now has always been a highlight! Your music now, more than ever, really speaks to me and covers almost every mood I may be feeling. Watching you get so excited about your own work is so exciting and motivating. Keep it up, my dude!!! I’ll be with you the entire ride!! Peace! ✌🏼 ☮️
I wanted to say (Dev) that I appreciate you delving-into why you don’t streamline the projects into a deliberate sequence. For many (and at times myself for sure), it’s exhausting to cycle efforts…and easy to fail at all of them simultaneously. That’s the thing I’ve learned late in my life: What works for you…makes you who you are. We aren’t you, can’t be, and couldn’t no matter how hard we tried. That’s not an asset, but a liability. Been a real pleasure watching your journeys over so many years. But these days, it is completely ‘next-level.’ Your past is clear, your present is clear(er), and the future has many focused targets. As a musician and lover of music, it’s a very high time. Thank you for all of your intentions, and for sharing your gifts.
Your plans for the spaceship puts in my mind several children's TV shows that have segments aiming to educate kids on social and object relationships. That seems like a good approach to educate an audience on the value of a part of your work, whilst serving as a form of advertisement.
Your honesty and your true connection with us on levels that go far beyond music - is so valued and helpful to so many of us. My heart grew 2 sizes hearing that you have found and reclaimed your mojo. The reason your work is so amazing is because the intent is so well delivered. At 60, I'm no angsty teen - but your music and podcasts have helped me to endure and battle through constant, severe pain and COPD. You have thrown me many life saving ropes over this last decade - somehow I never fail to pull myself back up. Inspiration is life. Cheers!!
Like being in a rut...to finding the 4x4 button and searching for another path 👍 I love hearing your process for working through a particular problem. Cheers man. 😎
So happy to see you comfortably in the Flow! That tug of war between wanting to optimize, feeling an obligation to do our very best... and then waking up and finding that our best comes naturally... it's just a never-ending cycle, I swear. It always feels like playing hide-and-seek with yourself or something. Maybe some people have it figured out, I don't know, I definitely don't. Maybe it's just the ego being really creative in how it presents, by sneaking its way in and going "yeah, I'm not going to 'control' this creative expression, I would *never* do that... but I can still optimize the conditions I use to elicit that creative expression, and I definitely have to keep myself productive..." Kinda... excusing its way back in, right? Oh well, all part of the journey of being human. :) I hear great confidence from you today and it's very inspiring, very motivating. Especially during this time of year, depression tends to hit me pretty hard being indoors alone constantly, so thank you for sharing your confidence and passion. And thank you for sharing in-depth about each project. Every project sounds very special and exciting in its own way, but I have to say I'm most excited about Casualties of Cool. The first album has been a staple in my art studio for many years now, it has a very special place in my heart. I'm very excited to see how that concept has evolved over a decade.
I'm looking forward to finally hearing all the new music Devin is making, probably one of the few examples where I like absolutely everything he does. And I was very happy that you decided to continue Casualties of Cool, the last album was truly magical, I'm sure the new one will not disappoint either) I fondly remember the only concert that Devin and the team gave in Moscow and which I was lucky enough to attend, of course, in the current circumstances, something like this is unlikely to happen again in the near future, but I really hope that in the future I will still be able to go to Devin's concert and enjoy incredible live music)
I know exactly what you mean about how you felt prior to now... not depressed, but just... not exactly excited to get going every day. I imagine that gratitude played a part in how you feel now.
ive never thought about splitting my writing into different projects. it makes more sense tho, instead of trying to make the next opeth song, maybe focus on aspects of myself and just nerd out.
Happy to hear you're in the flow of things and have exciting prospects, that seemed to be a struggle for you the past few months. Love hearing about this and am looking forward to the Ruby Quaker show and all the other projects! Keep well man, appreciate you. You're a great dude.
I feel I can parallel a lot of your struggles. The "work" I do - something that I truly enjoy and only consider work due to the stress involved, is also really project based. I hit those periods of sort of "numbness" or what I might call decision deadlock, and I do think they really put a person into a depressive state. I think the light at the end of that tunnel is knowing there will be days that it gets better, and the payoff will always be worth the pain. There are many things that cannot exist in a vacuum, I don't think people can grow without embracing discomfort as part of the process. All the best, Enjoy the sun and the warmth of the coming spring - (on I'd say an emotional level, canadian weather be damned)
So good to hear you are excited and moving forward. I recorded my first song in 10 years this weekend, just on a basic 12 track recorder. Not sure what to make of it yet but pleased to be creating again. Very easy to be overly critical of myself.
I can't imagine there being any reason in the world not to follow inspiration at this point and the older I get the more I realise just how rare it is. Hell yea man The thing you mention about thinking and self-examination; I am struck by a particularly savage line from Thomas Ligotitt: "If truth is what you seek, then the examined life will only take you on a long ride to the limits of solitude and leave you by the side of the road with your truth and nothing else." The great thing about inspiration is all that questioning that fundamentally has no bottom because nothing about your self or your mind actually has a ground truth you can get to - all that acid - is simply replaced by something else for all that machinery to chew on. Self-examination can be useful but only as part of a trip somewhere
Power the FUCK out of that Nerd, Dev! ❤❤❤ And by that mean, please, please remember to SLEEP. That's when all the troubles of your mind work themselves out. ❤
i just thinked thje samre thing about invasive thought and the inspiration, you have top do basically mor, edit less. let it flow. if youre stucjk with somethinmg and you think it too muchg it just kills thje soul of it and you dint want to do it anymorr. thx dev. dont stresas too much about you output.
It sounds crippling to be that self-scrutinized, the amount of your stuff that ends up on the virtual cutting room floor most artist/bands would die for, a lot of fans would love it too no doubt, but quality control should always be a thing. During my most prolific period between 2000-2006 I composed over 100 tracks, I felt inspired almost every day, sadly listening back to them now there would only be 3-4 that I'm actually proud of, so always quality over quantity. :)
ok. I enjoy the music as much as the next person... but its getting a bit nauseating.. having stuff built just for one small purpose etc... not exactly going for saving the planet, or celebrating humanity in music here...Or exploring, reinventing... just using, megaconsumption... build, make, buy, sell, get... and for pretty much nothing... no. I want to be a positive commenter.. and I'm here as a fan.. but this gives me a bad taste.. Hopefully when these projects come out they'll do tons of good for all kinds of people. The guitars will help people out of depression, and the atmos will open pathways to wellbeing we could only dream of.... And most of all, I hope, and think these albums will rule. which is important... Ok. sorry for the bad outburst here.. I would rather have discussed it over a coffee, but I don't have the contact-info. Still love the zen-like updates. It's lovely, relaxing, informative, interesting, and engaging. Regards. from an old wet fart.

If someone was to say to me "Power Nerd", I'd absolutely have a picture of Devin in my mind
True. The front cover should be Dev's passport photo and nothing else
@ignaciocornejo3731 thumbnail of this vid would do well also 😁
@@magusmelanie828 hahahaha. Yeap, maybe the mirrored face effect would be great to add that "Dev" touch. Otherwise it would look like an Adele cover 🤣
@@ignaciocornejo3731 ngl the pic does kinda look like he's bustin' 😳 🤣🤣

Power Nerd sounds exactly like the Album for me! ♥
I'm so excited for all these projects Dev!
Ocean Machine was my introduction. Not going to lie, I’m really stoked for Power Nerd!
Sorry to be late to the party... Found you through Lightwork... Thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the commentary on the Blu-ray. Immediately bought two more as gifts. Looking forward to your future journeys.

The Ruby Quaker episodes sound like Mr Townsend's Neighborhood.
Devin, my brother, thank you for existing, ive played music for around 40 yrs now and ive followed you since i heard you on the sex and religion album by Steve Vai , man you have grown and morphed musically into something amazing, brother im in awe at your music, you are my greatest inspiration and you are a legend brother, you inspire me in ways i cant explain man, thank you brother \m/
King Dev speaks on sundays. Long live the king.
Thank you Devin. You have a great way of reminding me that it's okay and gonna be okay. Truly inspirational.

That is the power of true and honest art. It is healing!
i think also, the amount of energy required to manifest these ideas is so great that we need to take time away from projects so as to rebuild and replenish those reserves of energy.
Another great update. I find it kind of fitting that 'Moth' project itself has gone through a transformation.

you’re truly emanating beauty and mindfulness and focus. keep it up. ♥️
im here for all of it Dev..... but Power Nerd has me moistest 🤓

"...nah man, yah I'm a nerd for sure, but man... check this out" sounds like the last sentence spoken by mankind!
Please keep it up. These Updates are healing! ❤

Moth SOUNDS heavy. It’s a drag to even pronounce and COC updates. Epic times!
Like being in a rut...to finding the 4x4 button and searching for another path 👍

Love the hz as background 💯
Really loved the black and white video also excited for you and the progress your making with all the projects keep rockin it Devy
the next level stuff is always hard to mix and create.
You are a true artist, Devin! I enjoy all your works ❤
Keep on keeping on my dude.
I’m so exited for Power Nerd!
Dude, love these ❤ Your creative journey has sparked mad creativity and discipline on my end. Building my spaceship brotha ❤ Namaste 😊
Power the FUCK out of that Nerd, Dev! ❤❤❤ And by that mean, please, please remember to SLEEP.
That's when all the troubles of your mind work themselves out. ❤
You're building a spaceship? We need to talk Dev. I listen to your lives as I draw mine everyday, it's only fair to send something your way ;)
You're a great man Dev
I already thought we missed you last week 😊🤗
Great update. Great update. Cheers bro
We love you!
Enjoyed the video 👍😃
I am here for all of this!!! 🍿
Take it easy on yourself Dev. Stay well sir.
WE LOVE CHÉ
Thx Dev ⚡⚡⚡
You had me at mst3k
so many things being cooked. focus on mental health might need to be a priority, good luck in the kitchen/spaceship
❤🔥 ✨ 🎶
I WANT THE TUNES
✨💖✨
i just thinked thje samre thing about invasive thought and the inspiration, you have top do basically mor, edit less. let it flow. if youre stucjk with somethinmg and you think it too muchg it just kills thje soul of it and you dint want to do it anymorr. thx dev. dont stresas too much about you output.
It sounds crippling to be that self-scrutinized, the amount of your stuff that ends up on the virtual cutting room floor most artist/bands would die for, a lot of fans would love it too no doubt, but quality control should always be a thing.
During my most prolific period between 2000-2006 I composed over 100 tracks, I felt inspired almost every day, sadly listening back to them now there would only be 3-4 that I'm actually proud of, so always quality over quantity. :)
Right? Same..
We all rip off Meshuggah.
Suh dude ✌️😎
Will Ruby Quaker stop by the fifth dimensional nebulo 9? 😁
Sun goddess is cruel...
🥦🥦🥦
Any guesses as to who he got to mix Power Nerd?
The moth
🐲💖🫂🐉
ok. I enjoy the music as much as the next person... but its getting a bit nauseating.. having stuff built just for one small purpose etc... not exactly going for saving the planet, or celebrating humanity in music here...Or exploring, reinventing... just using, megaconsumption... build, make, buy, sell, get... and for pretty much nothing... no. I want to be a positive commenter.. and I'm here as a fan.. but this gives me a bad taste.. Hopefully when these projects come out they'll do tons of good for all kinds of people. The guitars will help people out of depression, and the atmos will open pathways to wellbeing we could only dream of....
And most of all, I hope, and think these albums will rule. which is important...
Ok. sorry for the bad outburst here.. I would rather have discussed it over a coffee, but I don't have the contact-info.
Still love the zen-like updates. It's lovely, relaxing, informative, interesting, and engaging.
