Did you find that you couldn't listen to anything else for ages? First time I heard PT that was me for about two months. I had to physically force myself to put something else on lol
I would so like him to come to india. But he probably won't because there isn't a very wide enough audience for him here. Which pains me deeply but i have to live with it anyway. But cheers, fellow indian wilson fan! There are very less of us❤️😭
@@amandastevenson6101 I know exactly how you feel, I discovered PT recently and had to resist the urge to just listen to Fear of a Blank Planet from beginning to end on repeat. It's actually had a really positive influence, because my way of dealing with that urge has been searching for new and interesting music nonstop so I don't burn out from listening to the same things
For me, the best artist this century, his albums are all very well produced and vary significantly in style from the last one. The latest live album should be given as a lesson on how to make a great sounding live album, I was at the concert (which also sounded great). Keep doing what you are doing Steven, cant wait to be surprised by the next one.
Steven Wilson, you are the most important musician of our generation, because the old glorius of the genre we all most grow on, are so lives from the past; because, some of the newest music you are making, not like to the "base of fans", that always hears those kind of music; but i'm relly happy, you doing music different, but on the level of excelence, that makes us want to buy the original records, (in the format we can buy); hope you Steven, never lost the imagination for create new music, who makes us happy to ear; love from Mexico.
I've seen PT three times and Steven solo once. Great musician and a very genuine musician despite his success. I actually met him and talked to him the first time I saw him live(way back in 2001). Very approachable at that time. I'll always be a fan. Anyway, I initially found him through the prog rock genre but I'm glad he has expanded and now has fans from other genres.
Steven talking about the achievement of having a diverse, or "unsorted," audience is something so many artists miss, and it's part of that why he's so great. Steven understands that pigeonholing yourself is one of the worst things you can do as an artist, and by preventing himself from doing that is why he's grown more and more popular as time has gone on.
21:26: "Don't think about what you think the people want from you: find what is unique about your musical personality, and even if everyone else tells you "it's not commercial, it's not viable, you never going to make a career doing this quirky thing" I say "go with it", because that ultimately is the thing that is going to make you stand out"
Just watched this for the first time and I think this is the best interview Steven Wilson has done . Hats off to him but also to the interviewer for the insightful questions and also allowing him the space to answer.
@@se6369 I know her works were greatly played in European and Far East shows, especially in Taipei High End Audio shows. Her latest album is outstanding. I first heard her works in 2002 on a rarely found Finnish loudspeaker called Tetrimaki Crevasse that were demoing in Frankfurt high end 2002.
Iam always amazed by the amount of PT / SW fans from India, like myself. We should all petition to get SW to your India post the COVID pandemic. I would pay the moon, to attend his shows ❤️😊
@@Srikstar same. Live in delhi here. Love his and PT music but i so much wish he comes to India. I would pay unhealthy amount of money to attend a concert.
Thanks a lot for the authentic interview! Dear Mr. Wilson, in my opinion you're very clear and reflected to describe one possible point of view in terms of the creative process and the serious relationship to the meaning of art, I mean to be an honest artist ...! Love & peace ...!!!
I love the comparison between the "playlist mentality" and a film... It made me realise that it is actually what happens with TV shows! We see one episode from one show, and then another from another show, and so on...
17:40 I really hate that! People used to go and buy vinyls and they used to listen to the LP from the beginning to its end. Now they pick up a few songs (usually the hits) and that's really bad. You can't get the whole picture of the band and you can only judge them from a single. We should be listening a whole album, as if we were watching a film or reading a book.
I have been following Mr Wilson's musical journey from 90's including his other projects. I recon he is Tesla of modern music. His very diverse fans' base prove it.
Good interview. Steven Wilson is exactly the music I like to listening. Even more than spocks beard. Great pictures during this interview. Leo Sikkenga
Gotta Say!! This is one of the Best Interviews! Learnt a Lot in Detail about Steven Wilson's Perception regarding Music and Albums! His Views!! Beautiful this!! and he is looking different and Great! I's like I'm witnessing a new Steven Wilson! Take a Bow Sir!
Maybe it’s weird... but I’d love to see SW and Devin Townsend do something together. I feel like Steven could really reel in Devin’s voice and craft something incredible.
He reminds me very much of Mike Patton in his ethos. Won't be pigeonholed into one genre of music and knows not everyone will like or appreciate his music. They're both geniuses.
@21:24 that's the real definition of an ARTIST. An artist is someone that creates an art for HIMSELF. He/she doesn't care if the audiences are going to like it or not, although he/she is thirsty for its appreciation all the time. The real artist is SELFISH. On the other hand, those who's creation is rather driven by the audiences is an ENTERTAINER.
This man is a music genius, the last one before him was Frank Zappa. What unites him with Zappa is a high creativity, high productivity at a very high level. What distinguishes him from him is his modesty.
I'm a big PT Steven Wilson Fan, for m e is Fear of the blank Planet one of the best Albums ever, see my Icon, I saw all of his shows since 2010, it a petty I did not know him earlier, but Back to the Bones has a couple of great Songs, but for me it does not have the Wilson Magic. But still he is the Beethoven of our time. In all of his carrier he never wrote an awful Song.
Being an audiophile myself, I would love to know what kind of audio system Steven Wilson owns. He has a vast vinyl collection; what equipment does he have in his audio room? Wilson Audio speakers, Steven? 😁
Love him and his music. Steve also gave me a reprimand of making playlists, he is right, an album is a journey, musically or lyrically or both. So! More albumlistening less playlist!
Tengo 29 años y concuerdo con escuchar música en formato "Álbum" ya que es la escancia que el artista transmite en su trabajo, Que gran mente Steven Wilson!
What a great interviewer she is! Calm and very well phrased questions, no need to be in the spotlight, let the artist find his points. Any suggestions for other good interviews? Steven Wilson is great as always, I like his approach and how he speaks of "his" audience very much. Indeed, I do not like every album in the same way, some I barely listened to, but I tend to always come back to the things I do not like in the first place.
She is a great artist as well, so she knows the game. She was an journalist in younger age before deciding to go for the life as an artist. Here is an excample of here work, the tune Gåte ved Gåte (Riddle By Riddle) ua-cam.com/video/OSpwzQ9e9eg/v-deo.html
She Kari Bremnes, a legendary musician from Norway. She is called Jewel Of Norway. Fantastic writer singer. If you hear Kari Bremnes Live album on a high end audio system, you will have a hair raising experience.
I dont care...Just as long as its not rap. Rap and hip hop is not music. Its just a medium to me. I know im going to get a lot of heat for stating my opinion. I love Wilson as a songwriter and Porcupine Tree.
I know that english might not be her first language, but learn that when you ask a question and the artist has made his point, move on. Nice interview though 👍
I am so glad I’ve lived in an era where I was able to listen to his work
I found PT and Steven Wilson last month and I think that's the best thing ever happened to me. I'm in love with this man 💙
Even she is incredible. I first discovered her music in 2002.
You should listen to his Blackfield albums too.
Did you find that you couldn't listen to anything else for ages? First time I heard PT that was me for about two months. I had to physically force myself to put something else on lol

My search was for Kari Bremnes, and then I got Steven Wilson as well. Two of my favourites!!
This guy is a LEGEND.

music keeps you young!
both look GREAT
What!!!
Woow both of them look so fresh and young
Increíble; se ven super jóvenes (de hecho lo están todavía), pero se ven aún más. 🍷
Stephen Wilson is the most BRILLIANT musician of ALL TIME!
Love Steven Wilson’s strong enthusiasm towards proper audio fidelity and his involvement with 5.1 Audio.

In the field of popular music, I consider Steven the best songwriter of the last two decades, along with a few others like Mikael Åkerfeldt.
Fellow
Wilson and Akerfeldt are true bosses of all bosses.
Popular music?
@@xanderpills Yea, pop. What's not classical, not Jazz and not folk/ethinc, is pop.
@@microzett964 How about rock, babe?
@@xanderpills "Baby", you have to educate yourself better. I can't help you from here.
Two of my favourite artists together! Awesome!

She is Kari Bremnes. A legendary musician in her own right. There was a time when every high end audio show played her songs as a reference tracks.
@@kjaudio1 They stopped?
@@se6369 by 2019 other artists were being played. I love her live album, superb recording and fantastic performance.

Always great to hear from Mr Steven Wilson! Thank you, Lasse Hoile!
What I really like about him, apart from his music obviously, is the intelligence and sensitivity he has.
Thoughtful and reflective...
Amazing artist.. very much devoted to his work..
Greeting from Manipur,India..
As a fellow Indian I always admire the musical IQ of my north-eastern brethren. Greetings to you from Bangalore

Fascinating guy, particularly the evolution of his music.
This guy is one of the greatest musician-songwriters of all time. Love from India
one of the best composer in the modern music.

What a wonderful person❤
Wow he’s my dad’s age. He doesn’t look 52! He sounds younger too. This is what happens when you dedicate your life to what you truly love.
She is 11 years older than him, by the way.
I love his music.
Thank you sir.
he´s not simply a genius as a musician. He´s also incredebly good looking. And I say that as a straight male...
YEAH! He definitely won the genetic lottery, because he's 52, but doesn't look a day over 33.
This interview was very enjoyable. Greetings from Mexico
Lovely conversation!

Would have been nice to see them tour together. Could we hope for a guest appearance?
This man is a music genius, the last one before him was Frank Zappa.
What unites him with Zappa is a high creativity, high productivity at a very high level.
What distinguishes him from him is his modesty.
Your concerts are a playlist, Steven....
😉
Mickey B. An album is a statement. A concert is a celebration. A playlist is neither.
I'm a big PT Steven Wilson Fan, for m e is Fear of the blank Planet one of the best Albums ever, see my Icon, I saw all of his shows since 2010, it a petty I did not know him earlier, but Back to the Bones has a couple of great Songs, but for me it does not have the Wilson Magic. But still he is the Beethoven of our time. In all of his carrier he never wrote an awful Song.
I've learned so much from him and I still do
he is our lives biggest teacher as he connects in multiple ways rather than just speech.
He's deadass immortal
Being an audiophile myself, I would love to know what kind of audio system Steven Wilson owns. He has a vast vinyl collection; what equipment does he have in his audio room? Wilson Audio speakers, Steven? 😁
Love him and his music. Steve also gave me a reprimand of making playlists, he is right, an album is a journey, musically or lyrically or both. So! More albumlistening less playlist!
I made a Porcupine tree/Steven Wilson playlist and it's just beautiful!
"Fear of a Blank Page" 12:09
Steven is amazing, very Intelligent, love his music ❤️😘
I’ve been loving his music and soul in art ever since ...I was a child! And now, he’s married 💔. Haha... seriously.
Anyone know what kind of turntable and speakers Wilson uses at his home?
like a breath.of fresh air
Listening to the word of the Lord is always a bliss!
musically confident and philosophical guy ever 😋

Anonymous Finn he is an amazing person
kudos to the interviewer! she is really good at this
Steven Wilson what do you think of David Icke?
Super talented, dedicated and cute :)
Very interesting to hear SW. I can’t understand why they don’t play any song or peace of a song...?
Master Wilson
Brilliant comparison, taking scenes out of movies, and putting them together on a playlist.. FUCK streaming, it's a crime against humanity.
What a great interviewer she is! Calm and very well phrased questions, no need to be in the spotlight, let the artist find his points.

"Personal Shopper" is great! .....AGAIN!!!
Will he be at the exhibition?
I don't understand why he suddenly stopped making other music than pop and such (and electronic pop/rock ish)...
You know nuthin' , John Snow...
Steven just has something about him that makes me think of a younger Bill Nighy
I find Steven to be a little menacing in some pictures but in this interview he’s a really nice guy
Fear of a Blank Page
He's like the David Fincher of music
Inspired by 2 persons in my life..Kurt Cobain and Steven Wilson
Me by Steven Wilson and Gustavo Cerati
Steven Wilson and Peter Steele
Kari Bræmnes!
I love Steve Wilson’s music and Porcupine Tree, but he’s never made “a bit of jazz” music. Everything else he said yes...
Grace for drowning for sure is littered with bits of jazz
Joe Sikorski a saxophone, flute and twinkly keyboards doesn’t constitute “bits of jazz”. Lol
There are quite some jazz bits in many of his songs though.
In his Blackfield venture, there were certain aspects of Jazz.
Quite so ... there should be a LOT more unsortedness ... the more the merrirer ... :-)
Kari Bremnes is Norway's Kate Bush.
Kind of
Interviewer wearing red hot chilli is not arriving somewhere but not here
She Kari Bremnes, a legendary musician from Norway. She is called Jewel Of Norway. Fantastic writer singer. If you hear Kari Bremnes Live album on a high end audio system, you will have a hair raising experience.
The only thing that has aged on this man is his facial hair.
Eventually You Will become mainastream because You tap so many genres
