Would You Rather

be able to smell the future or hear into the past? Please explain why.

Nikki: Smell the future, because I don’t want to hear the past, that sounds like depression…

Shaun: Hear the past because I can’t remember shit.

Tyler: I want to hear the past because I want to hear jazz in the 1920s.

Trevor: I don’t think I’d like to smell the future because I don’t like to smell things––like what is productivity? Sweat?

Some Questions with T.V.O.D.

How did you navigate releasing your 2020 album “Daisy” during the COVID-19 lockdown?

Tyler: March 14th hit and I suddenly didn’t have any more clients for my business. Like most people, I had a bunch of free time and just wanted to make an EP for my friends and anyone else who was feeling affected by Covid-19 and the isolation of quarantine.

What was the best piece of advice you ever received?

Trevor: K.I.S.S. - Keep it Simple Stupid.

Shaun: I don’t know, I can’t think of anything.

Tyler: Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.

Nikki: I’m still waiting to hear it.

Do you have a piece of musical gear that you find yourself returning to often?

Tyler: My Tascam 424MKIII, which I use on all of my home recordings.

Nikki: A handmade pedal I got from Craigslist––it’s a big muff and a screamer combined.

Trevor: My Ludwig piccolo snare.

Shaun: My guitar, it’s a Taylor acoustic.

Can the music of T.V.O.D. be broken down into a mathematical formula?

Tyler: Yes, 2+ 2 = 3.

What are your hopes for the DIY music scene in NYC post-COVID-19?

Tyler: We think that it’s going to come back with a newer, broader genre or maybe even bigger energy, with more passion and appreciation all around.

What was the creative drive behind your 2020 release “Daisy”?

Tyler: I finally had the time to sit down and have some fun with my home recording studio. I just wanted to feed the void that was music at the time.

What was the collaborative process between the two of you while making “Daisy”?

Nikki: I was hot to trot and Tyler was just writing music about me (because I was the only one around).

Any final comments? (This is your electronic soapbox for one last answer.)

All: I LOVE YOU.
