We’ll be doing the “Hell or Highwater” album mostly, but there will be five or six songs from the new album that we already recorded, but we never really worked on as a live band. It’s going to be a lot of fun to put them up there and I think they are a little tougher and a little more musically produced than the first album. It’s been an interesting process to get them up on their feet live.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eQ: How far along are you in the recording process for the next album?\u003c/b\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\nDD: I’m done with the recording. We are really just rehearsing for live performance now.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eQ: We were reading that the target release date for the upcoming album will be the fall of 2017, correct?\u003c/b\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\nDD: Is it the fall? I was thinking the spring (laughs)  We’re done!\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eQ: What is the recording process like for you? Can you choose one or two songs in particular and tell me what the mindset was like when you were putting the album together?\u003c/b\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\nDD: The second album differs quite a bit from the first album, as with the first album I probably had four songs that I left off of it. The second album is probably four songs from my first run at writing songs plus eight of the newer ones. I think there will be some similarities to the first one, but also a new direction and some new styles and some new lyrical obsessions as well which I hope will make it interesting. All of my songs start with a chord progression that I like and then hearing a melody over that, that I’ll hum and try to figure out some words for what I’m humming. With the second album I brought them earlier to my band rather than just finishing them alone. It was more of a collaborative effort with the new album.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nI worked with Colin Lee and Pat McCusker and Pat will come up with whatever riff he thinks needs to be in there and Colin will work on the bridge or the harmonies and it will get away from me in a good way.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eQ: Awesome. We felt the first album was very thought-provoking and it definitely brought out several different emotions. We don’t want to say it was all sadness because there were certainly some elements of joy in there. Have you gone in a different direction emotionally with the new album, because we feel all music invokes some kind of emotion.\u003c/b\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\nDD: Yeah and I think most songs are sad and they can make you sad. The great thing about music is that somehow a sad song makes you happy. Some kind of magic happens. I will say that the unrelenting kind of bleakness that was in the first album is not there, as the second album has more light in it. Less rain, more light (laughs).\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eQ: How therapeutic is the creative process of writing music for you?\u003c/b\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\nDD: It’s hard for me to gauge that. I think I rather view it as not therapeutic for me, but therapeutic for other people. I think what happens is, if my intentions are clear and pure and my talent is enough then a connection will be made and that’s therapeutic. The fact that I get to make a connection is therapeutic for me as well, especially in a live setting. What’s most therapeutic aside from the cathartic display of ones emotions or dealing with ones emotions for me is just the chance to be creative. You know, to lead a creative life and to keep creating stuff in different media. That to me is the only therapy I’ve ever really known.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nIf I get to be creative whether it’s as an actor, director, writer, or musician I feel better and hopefully other people feel better too when they consume it.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eQ: Is it hard for you to switch hats? We know you’ve done some directing and you’ve written a book as well. Is creating music a different process?\u003c/b\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\nDD: Yeah, it’s very different. Making TV or film is the most collaborative thing that I do because you have over 100 people who you are collaborating with easy, whereas, writing a novel is the least collaborative thing I’ve done. I mean I worked with an editor, but that’s when it’s done. Nobody has had one word to say about what I put down on my page, so between those two, the non-collaborative and the totally collaborative is music which is where I do spend time alone in my room writing songs, but then bring them to two or three trusted people and then collaborating it further and then turning it into something we can play in front of people professionally or even record.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eQ: A show like “Californication” did a wonderful job at using music to push forward the storyline and used alternative versions of classic track. How involved were you in all of that?\u003c/b\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\nDD: I wasn’t, but I guess my involvement was educating myself about Warren Zevon at the time because I had just kind of stumbled across him at the time I was doing the pilot. Tom Kapinos, whose the creator of the show, also didn’t know Zevon, so it worked out that we found out about Zevon as we were making the show and used a lot of his music during the show. In terms of the covers. that was all Tom. Tom is a big music fan and is an actual guitar player himself and Marilyn Manson was on the show and of course Lemmy from Motorhead was on the show and again that was all Tom being a huge music fan. I think the only song or songs I might of pitched was “High-Flying Bird” the Elton John song and a Zevon song at some point.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eQ: Is it ever surprising to you which songs of yours that fans tend to gravitate towards?\u003c/b\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\nDD: Yeah, I mean it’s always surprising what people relate to musically. That’s kind of the beauty of lyric writing in a song is you leave enough of it unsaid so that people can make it their own.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eQ: What other upcoming projects do you have in the works for this year. We know the tour is getting ready to kick-off with dates on the west coast and some on the east coast as well.\u003c/b\u003eDD: We are talking about doing more “X-Files” soon and then I have a couple of projects that are really in the beginning stages that I don’t have anything really interesting to say about at this time, but I want to do in the next couple years.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eQ: Just for fun! How likely are we to see an “X-Files” musical episode. You know Mulder dueting with some aliens!\u003c/b\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\nDD: (laughs) I don’t know about that, but I’m definitely going to pitch my own music for the soundtrack. We’ll see how far I get!\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"http://unskinnypop.com/2017/02/exclusive-interview-david-duchovny-talks-music-touring-x-files/\" target\u003d\"_blank\"\u003esource\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.duchovnycentral.com/feeds/1304070020219267614/comments/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"https://www.duchovnycentral.com/2017/02/exclusive-interview-with-david-duchovny.html#comment-form","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.blogger.com/feeds/5810865130164992971/posts/default/1304070020219267614"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.blogger.com/feeds/5810865130164992971/posts/default/1304070020219267614"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"https://www.duchovnycentral.com/2017/02/exclusive-interview-with-david-duchovny.html","title":"Exclusive Interview with David Duchovny!

But he's also a singer songwriter he's not torn fact. He'll be at the Wilbur theatre in Boston on February 22 so we've got him on the line rights is and David thanks for hanging out Matty and. Thanks for having me in Boston. Where where the music began for me who recorded announcement Boston. Are you kidding I didn't know that yeah. Now who we're with the musicians from Boston's not that happy. Yes I mean they the that you originally from Boston. The time we are working they were in New York Brooklyn but they'll they'll match. At the Burton who musica. And probably ten years ago. We just talk about another Boston connection we have you might buddy who's a national. I went out to LA and put it. But the thing is it's completely allowed because it's part of the Oxford English dictionary now so please feel free use it literally like right and then. Exactly which we're gonna talk what is your great great book. But my body JJ went out there became a trainer to the stars and actually work you out I don't wanna start to soften controversial way about it. He says you can't do more than five pushups. And firmer and I. Will you. It. While nick and I were missing a lot to your record Heller hot water. On spending some time last night and we really dig it man's got a great sound super well produced. And I'm. Missing. I love your voice tone of this kind of lead five it's very laid back. I mean you go for styled errors it just you wish your voice. Yes my voice my voice and it. Does Whitney Houston attorney and it's. It is what it is so. You know I find myself. You know. Petty about it of course that he he he never bit. I hear I hear that the melodies and write something about it I can penalties. Successfully. Get them out of my head in the way that I want and I get help from from the guys you know on the ban. So that sometimes that. You know I've worked on my voice and they have gotten better even since one record of that problem. So it's a work in progress but. It's never going to be known. But he says what an instrument now know reserve percent of them. Well I love the tone it's I think it's great voice that's distinctive and talking to David Duchovny actor author. Musician who is about to embark on a very busy February he's touring a lot of places you go see him and on the 22 February. You'll be here in Boston mass at the Wilbur theatre in icy red after that David. Now couple days later you're going to be in Asbury park at the stone pony home of Bruce Springsteen's. Yeah publicly and our pilgrimage. Let's talk about Bucky Dent for a minute if you don't mind. That book was recently. Amazing I IE. I thought it was gonna be maybe you're relationship to the Yankees was completely you know fictionalized account but I am wondering. Andy and needing just inspired us this story to tell McCain to you know. Yet and I can't no you know different strands. In the camps nowhere. Did it it's. You know what sort of biographical other brokers certain touches like for instance I did grow up to new York at that time other group broke him. My father did pitch for reporters it's awful thing. But. Aside from that. Really like the relationship between father. My father was not like on very gentle I think this is the main keys of the story where. Something that happened to me as a young father or my daughter got very ill just on nine holes. And we were afraid we're gonna lose her and the kind of emotional. We'll post went through never had forgotten that and then putting that into another relationship between father and son in the book. And then this idea that is hell. Is determined by whether the talks when it's. And whether or not you can take the outcomes you know whether you can distort reality just because you love someone. And he can do it for awhile but eventually reality resources so so that's kind of the key that came together in the book. Well here in Boston week kind of base all of our realities in all of our health depends on our sports because that's just the that's just the way you roll and you know we have to be big fans of yours. Have you come up and recorded an album here in titled book Bucky. And dent in the we gotta love us and X-Files kept their fornication Alexi come up and do that because dude you've got a lot of nerve Duchovny. You know what I think. I you got to be side of Affleck and Damon giving you their version of Boston. But not enough. I'm the only way it's can we actually discussed last week on the show who you would posture in the age of Affleck Damon and wall bird. Might be mr. Boston who do you think is the most boss Tony and of all our avatars. Discussions make him you know he's. Good question I'm don't Warburg. I itself is Joyce yes he's he's although Casey get the stature of this new Manchester by the seat might be taken the ground game. Oh look you have to go out like a family. That's terrible that's called betting the pool you can just totally taken the Catholic school. It's that it it will be a good conversation they'll play. Much discussion in the future but I think Annika. Yes they were warmer but expect them yeah. And that and that makes that difference out there are as we say which usually like to say that makes a Wiki used here is the album is hell or high water. The artist and I mean artist he's a real Smart guy author actor and musician iams hell or high water he'll be at the Wilbur theatre.

Evidently, things have progressed since he first laid his eyes on that beautiful Martin D-18GE 1934 Golden Era guitar. Initially, he started learning on his own, looking up sixties and seventies rock n’ roll favourites and figuring out their chord progressions, often with the help of online videos. Then, sneakily, he managed to convince the showrunner forCalifornication that the star character, Hank Moody, played by Duchovny, should know the guitar. The result: free lessons. “When I open my mouth to sing, strange things can come out from time to time,” admits Duchovny. So he began working with a vocal coach as well. From there, it didn’t take long for him to start writing his own chords, melodies, and lyrics. “That’s been hard work,” he insists. “And it doesn’t sound like it, but I do not have a natural aptitude for singing the notes I want to sing.”\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\nHis debut album, Hell or Highwater, arrived earlier this year. “Call him a monster / You can call him a sinner,” sings Duchovny in “Unsaid Undone”. “Set a place for the devil ‘cause he’s staying for dinner.” Duchovny’s particular brand of musical devilishness is of the upbeat folk-rock variety, clearly drawing inspiration from the likes of Bob Dylan and backed by pleasant Tom Petty-like vocals with a slight rasp.Hell or Highwater is a title that suits him well. “It is a sense of accomplishment, but it’s also a sense of wonder,” explains Duchovny. Truth is, for most of his early life, people (including himself) have told him to stop singing. For a while, he listened. “So to me it’s like—I hate to sound like Mr. Positivity—but you really don’t know what you can do, you really don’t.” Especially with hard work. And that’s a lesson he hopes to impart to his own kids. In fact, that is one of the reasons Duchovny took up the guitar in the first place: “I wanted them to watch me sucking at something and learning it and being frustrated and working hard just to get decent—not even good, just to even get mediocre—I had to work hard to get mediocre.” He pauses: “I wish I learned this earlier in my life.”\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\nDuchovny’s creative career has taken many turns. He first became known to audiences playing the extraterrestrial-chasing FBI agent Fox Mulder in The X-Files, of course, and continued onwards starring in numerous films. Most recently he had a resurgence of popularity with the success of Californication, about a womanizing author, and now stars on a new series called Aquarius as a cop hunting down Charles Manson. In between, he also wrote an allegorical novel called Holy Cow: A Modern-Day Dairy Tale, about a cow who learns of her fate and attempts to break out of a farm. His stage debut was in Neil LaBute’s The Break of Noon opposite Amanda Peet.\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n“I’m not up there giving details or trying to force my personal biography on people, that’s not art.

Some critics have referred to it as a vanity project or a mediocre “dad-rock” album, while the New York Daily Newspraised it as “credible”, and Flavorpill called it an “easy, breezy listen reminiscent of seventies classic rock”. Fan response has been decidedly enthusiastic. “It’s like ice cream,” Duchovny says. “Some people like chocolate and some people like vanilla. Some people are going to like it and some people won’t. You can’t talk your way into somebody’s musical life, you know? It’s a gut thing. Why do I like it? I don’t know. That’s why it’s beautiful that way. There’s no debate.

Throughout his career as an actor, he’s starred in two of the biggest television series of the last two decades, creating two cult characters worthy of icon status. He’s stepped behind the camera to direct and behind the scenes to produce. He even wrote a few episodes of The X-Files, the hit television show he starred in from 1993-2002 (which is making a triumphant return next January on Fox). In the same vein, he man with a masters in English Lit published his first novel Holy Cow back in February. With a seemingly incessant need to be creative, Duchovny picked up a guitar and dove head-first into the realm of rock ‘n’ roll. After much fiddling on his guitar and penning lyrics onto paper, the end result was his debut alt-rock album Hell or Highwater, a melodic and moody (pun intended) outing that captures melancholy at its best. Just before David wrapped up a brief tour with back to back shows in New York and Philadelphia, he spoke exclusively with The Rock Revival about his music, touring, and what’s next for the Renaissance Man.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGoing back to the beginning, how did this project come to fruition?

It was really just an organic process from beginning to end. The way it started was, I picked up a guitar and decided I was going to teach myself how to play just because I love music and I thought it would be nice to be able to amuse myself that way. That went on for about a year and I was looking at these songs that I’m playing, these rock ‘n’ roll songs that are fairly simple. I’m not saying there not great, but they’re just chord structures that get repeated; blues and rock ‘n’ roll and they don’t belong to anybody, like folk music, and I thought if I could come up with a new melody to put on top of these chord structures then I could write some songs, and some lyrics I thought would come easiest because I’ve always written. Then I just started writing songs and I went to my buddy Keaton Simons and I said, “Hey, can we record these? I want to hear what my songs sound like, if they’re songs at all.” And he taught me a little about song writing. I had never written a bridge before, so he said, “Oh, you need a bridge in this song.” I said, “What’s a bridge?” Things like that. So, we recorded them and I thought it was cool. I have songs that I wrote on my phone and now they sound semi-professional and I’m kind of singing on them and thats more than I thought they would ever be. Soon after, Keaton was playing down at the City Winery here in New York and he asked me if I would come down and sing one of the songs, and I did. Brad Davidson from ThinkSay Records was there and he said, “Dude, lets make an album. How many songs you got?” I said, “Oh, God, I’ve probably got about 20. And he said, “Lets work on them. Lets make them into songs that you would want to hear on the radio. Like real songs.” And I said, “Well, if you want to do that then I’ll do that with you.” He said I should go work on my voice, so I went and worked on my voice, and then we ended up recording the album last December.

Maybe you should work not he voice.” So, I’ve been working on my voice for over a year and I don’t go out there to try to sing. I mean, I do my best and I try my best to stick to the melody of the song, but I don’t get too hung up on if I go flat or if I go sharp, because I know I’m going to do that. I don’t have perfect pitch or anything close to that. I just know how to inhabit these songs. They’re my songs, and I know what they’re about. I think the most important thing about my performance, at least for me, is getting the song across. You talked about it earlier – if its the sadness, then put the sadness out there so the audience can feel it and they can give something back, and we have a thing. I’m not just going to sit up here and put on the album so we can all listen to it. This is just happening tonight, and my voice is gonna be what it’s gonna be and it’s way better than it was a year ago when I started.
