Is there a literary nod towards the romantic hiding in the shadows created by Edmond\u00a0Rostand? After all, the play introduced not only Cyrano de Bergerac but also the word \u2018panache\u2019 to the English language and this is a word that sits very well with your music?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">C: Yes, exactly &#8211; last year I went to see the play Cyrano de Bergerac, which centres around the lead character Cyrano\u2019s love for a girl. Despite his talents as a writer and poet, he is overcome by his insecurities and\u00a0writes to her through the alias of another man. I began to notice the parallels between the character Cyrano and my relationship with my own music, and loved the idea of using Cyrano as my method for sharing the\u00a0music and words that for years have been only for myself.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"70664\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2021\/07\/cyrano-the-outstanding-multi-instrumentalist-from-scotland-releases-tundra-from-his-forthcoming-ep-before-touring-the-uk\/cyrano-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cyrano-2.jpg?fit=1028%2C1043&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1028,1043\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"cyrano 2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cyrano-2.jpg?fit=640%2C650&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-70664\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cyrano-2.jpg?resize=640%2C649&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"649\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cyrano-2.jpg?w=1028&amp;ssl=1 1028w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cyrano-2.jpg?resize=296%2C300&amp;ssl=1 296w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cyrano-2.jpg?resize=1009%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1009w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cyrano-2.jpg?resize=768%2C779&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cyrano-2.jpg?resize=80%2C80&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cyrano-2.jpg?resize=400%2C406&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>EP: You describe your music as something for the late night overthinkers. What\u2019s the motivation behind that? I\u2019m guessing you are one of life\u2019s overthinkers?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">C: It\u2019s kind of a tongue and cheek acknowledgement of how long I\u2019ve spent working on my music, as well as giving people a flavour for the vibe. For those who know me, know that whilst I&#8217;m only starting to share my music now, I&#8217;ve been working on them for several years and I always overthought what that they should sound like, trying to perfect each song.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I\u2019ve always been more drawn to melancholic, laid back music like The National and The War on Drugs, which seem to carry more weight. I\u2019m certainly one to overthink things and feel like sonically my music sits best alongside those artists. I hope that people are able to be consoled by my music and feel lifted from it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>EP: The new single \u2018Tundra\u2019 is part of a newly released EP and lyrically is quite a probing exploration into social anxiety. The lyrics are almost at odds with the soulful musicality, is that a conscious effort to convey the chaos of anxiety and the feeling that for many it goes so unnoticed unless you scrape below the surface\u2026.the music is the calm skin to the anxiety laying just below?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">C: When creating Tundra, Kit Monteith and I were really focused on\u00a0reflecting these feelings in the production and the lyrics, and hence why the track takes off after 3 minutes. I find at times these feelings can rush into you after feeling steady and really wanted the track to be dynamic to personify this.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We wanted the track to have no two sections the same, keeping things unpredictable and dynamic. I love the almost grime-like snare drum at the beginning which cuts through the synths as a sort of sonic slap trying to shift your ears from the synth strings of the intro.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lyrically, I wanted to keep things a bit abstract. In the second chorus, I wanted the end of one line to work with the start of the next &#8211; for example \u2018It\u2019s not that I\u2019m a heart \/ who has to be cared for \/ when we were apart\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Likewise in the first chorus, I reference my favourite number 12 in the line \u201ccounting on a number, I know I\u2019m hard to find\u201d. Growing up I really found patterns emerging around the number 12, from dates to table numbers and tokens etc and I always felt like it guided me home. I couldn\u2019t control when it would appear but I felt safe when it did, and it really carried me through. I know not everyone has that kind of relationship with a number and you could argue I was looking out for it, but I always feel connected to 12 in a way I can\u2019t explain but am just grateful to have.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"70665\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2021\/07\/cyrano-the-outstanding-multi-instrumentalist-from-scotland-releases-tundra-from-his-forthcoming-ep-before-touring-the-uk\/cyrano-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cyrano-3.jpg?fit=798%2C971&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"798,971\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"cyrano 3\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cyrano-3.jpg?fit=640%2C779&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-70665\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cyrano-3.jpg?resize=640%2C779&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"779\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cyrano-3.jpg?w=798&amp;ssl=1 798w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cyrano-3.jpg?resize=247%2C300&amp;ssl=1 247w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cyrano-3.jpg?resize=768%2C934&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cyrano-3.jpg?resize=400%2C487&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>EP: The EP \u2018Consolations\u2019 is inspired by Alain de Botton\u2019s book \u2018The Consolations of Philosophy\u2019. Is your background in Philosophy or is that something that has been a source of comfort and inspiration personally?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">C: While I studied Maths &amp; Philosophy as my degree, I\u00a0actually read &#8216;The Consolations of\u00a0Philosophy&#8217; before going, and found it really uplifting, as well as being a great source of inspiration. My EP Consolations is really paying homage to Alain de Botton, while creating my own set of consolations for others to take something from. Just before lockdown I was fortunate enough to see him speak live and it really renewed my sense of purpose to finish this EP, which has been a long journey for me to get to this point.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I\u2019d really recommend checking out &#8216;The School of Life&#8217; for some great reads. It\u2019s such a great place to go to for lyrical ideas and themes, and I love philosophy for making you think about things you have never considered before.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>EP: Your music, the way you sing is hugely uplifting and calming at the same time. The vocals move effortlessly through the continual growth of the track and glide over the content in a beautiful way despite the theme of anxiety. It\u2019s almost a chaotic tranquillity that is incredibly beguiling in its style. Who are your musical and life inspirations?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">C: Thank you very\u00a0much! My vocals are certainly where I feel most vulnerable as an artist so I really appreciate your kind words.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s probably no surprise that Alain de Botton is up there as one of my life inspirations &#8211; he\u2019s just so charismatic and knowledgeable, and makes you want to know more about everything!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A lot of my personal inspirations come from the people I\u2019ve met and worked with both in and out of music, who are really\u00a0accomplished in their fields. While they might not be\u00a0celebrities or household names, when you meet someone at the top of their\u00a0game I think it\u2019s hard not to be in awe of their\u00a0capabilities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Right now, I\u2019m really drawn to the music of Westerman and Fred again\u2026 though growing up my staples were up\u00a0Eric Clapton, Talk Talk and D\u2019Angelo as well as indie bands like Foals, The Maccabees and Bloc Party. I\u2019m a big fan of artists like Arlo Parks, Nil\u00fcfer Yanya and Frank Ocean too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>EP: It feels to me like there is an almost Indian musical undercurrent to the single. Do you like to introduce World music to your writing? Will this be a theme for the EP?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">C: I\u2019m really grateful to have had my best mate (and former band mate) play tabla (Indian percussion) on &#8216;Tundra&#8217;. I love delving into other sounds and without giving too much away, there\u2019s definitely some other sounds from around the world that feature quite prominently on my EP.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>EP: Your debut single \u2018White Wine\u2019 has a completely different feel for me with an almost late night jazz feel to it, especially with the sax. Was that a conscious effort not to be pigeon holed into any specific genre, and do you like to keep your audiences guessing as to what direction you might lead them?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">C: I\u2019m not sure it was a conscious\u00a0decision, but more a reflection on my tastes and desire to never rewrite the same song. While my EP feels lyrically and tonally quite\u00a0consistent, I\u2019m always searching for new\u00a0structures, lyrics, sounds and ways to start a song to keep things feeling fresh and expansive. I love the idea of having a broad sonic\u00a0palette, and a song for everyone and every mood.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"70666\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2021\/07\/cyrano-the-outstanding-multi-instrumentalist-from-scotland-releases-tundra-from-his-forthcoming-ep-before-touring-the-uk\/cyrano-4\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cyrano-4.jpg?fit=1065%2C659&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1065,659\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"cyrano 4\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cyrano-4.jpg?fit=640%2C396&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-70666\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cyrano-4.jpg?resize=640%2C396&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"396\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cyrano-4.jpg?w=1065&amp;ssl=1 1065w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cyrano-4.jpg?resize=300%2C186&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cyrano-4.jpg?resize=1024%2C634&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cyrano-4.jpg?resize=768%2C475&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cyrano-4.jpg?resize=200%2C125&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/cyrano-4.jpg?resize=400%2C248&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>EP: The pandemic and the various lockdowns have enabled many artists to take stock without the pressure of having to hit deadlines; has the unexpected time richness enabled you to really perfect your music or has it presented a frustrating delay and allowed too much time to over think?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">C: For me, the\u00a0pandemic gave me the\u00a0opportunity to say no to so many commitments and distractions that can take you away from your goals\u00a0without you even realising it.\u00a0I\u2019m certainly a perfectionist and there\u2019s so much involved in planning each release to ensure they all have the best chance of being heard and presented in the way I want them to be, but that really requires so\u00a0much time which the pandemic gave me. I\u00a0found\u00a0myself able to tackle each song at a time and make a list of all that I needed to do to get them over the line, from the writing, recording, production and mixing, to the artwork and all the creatives around to\u00a0support the release. For my debut single\u00a0\u2018White Wine\u2019 I produced my own bottle with Gar\u00e7on Wines which\u00a0certainly would\u2019ve been harder to do without the time I\u2019d had to plan that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the other hand, I\u2019m really excited for other things to open up again and to be able to meet and collaborate with other musicians, and enjoy what it\u2019s all about.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>EP: Your music feels like it would perform incredibly well live with its layers and the development and sectional quality it has. Have you any plans for live gigs now that things are slowly getting back to normal, and can we expect to see you in London anytime soon?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">C: Right now, I\u2019m\u00a0in the midst of\u00a0planning my live show and can\u2019t wait to be hitting the\u00a0road with my mates Leif Erikson this autumn! I\u2019m\u00a0certainly hoping to play in\u00a0London this year or next too, so stay tuned&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>EP: With the EP not far off, and I guess you have pretty much decided what that will include, do you have plans for the next EP and will it be similarly thematic? Does that mean that when we see an album we can expect something akin to a play with several thematic acts? Thank you so much for your time and good luck with the music.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">C: I already have demos for my next two EPs and have focused on developing lyrical and musical themes to them both. I feel like a theme really anchors a body of work and gives it more context. Both EPs are going to be pretty contrasting to both each other and Consolations, but I\u00a0believe there will still be something for everyone. Right now though, I can\u2019t wait to share my full EP, which will be released in October this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>James Vettese, known professionally and
