Devin Townsend, in conjunction with InsideOutMusic,
last year relaunched the Devin Townsend Podcast, with a brand-new direction.
For the past couple of months, he has been interviewing some of his musical
peers about their creative process, talking to the likes of Steve Vai &
Tosin Abasi (Animals As Leaders). Today sees the launch of the fourth episode,
and his guest this week is Joe Satriani.

As Devin explains:
“For this months interview, I talked with guitarist
Joe Satriani. Not only a commercially successful artist, but also a very
effective teacher. His methodology seems deceptively simple yet clearly
effective. He’s been a solid person and very down to earth throughout all our
interactions and I appreciate his process. Please enjoy =) – Dev”

Devin Townsend released his most recent studio album
‘Lightwork’ in late 2022, with Metal Injection calling it a “superb
addition to his one-of-a-kind catalogue”. Listen here: https://devin-townsend.lnk.to/Lightwork
For Lightwork, Devin decided to see what would happen
if he included a producer (an experiment he has been excited to attempt for
some time) to help guide this selection of material.
He chose long-time friend GGGarth (Richardson) to help
bring this idea to fruition, and through a difficult (but wonderful) process,
the next Devin album have been delivered.
The name ‘Lightwork’ represents the music, as well as
the act of creating music, as a kind of ‘light in the dark’ while trying to
navigate the seemingly endless challenges that life can often present.
When things seem like there’s no way out’ or that a
situation becomes seemingly insurmountable, the connection to music, family,
and creativity became a light in the dark that ended up in this wonderful
album.
