Evan Skytree Snyder ( Bandcamp [https://skytree.bandcamp.com/] // @skytreemusic [https://www.instagram.com/skytreemusic/] ) is a producer, synthesizer technician, and an engineer. Evan has developed a unique way of creating synthesizer patches using a method he calls geo-sonification; method whereby he uses material from the earth such as crystals or running water from streams as the signal/input for creating sounds on his modular synth. We talk about the physiological toll of living a performance-based lifestyle and how each person must find their own balance to sustain a career within it; his newest album [https://skytree.bandcamp.com/]; some of his early influences (Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, and Autechre)and how he stumbled upon Aphex Twin on late night MTV2 in the 90's; an upcoming gig he'll be playing and a whole bunch more!
