Review
Human 1.0 by Gary Dranow immediately sounds epic thanks to the strong drums and acoustic guitar chords that add dreamy textures to the track's introduction. Later on, the riffs of Dranow and co. become progressively more distorted and the track gradually gets closer and closer to metal. Gary Dranow continues to amaze as an exceptionally versatile artist who doesn't do things the way they used to, and here he shows off his voice while claiming to be the night itself. Later on, the riffs gain immense momentum in an absolutely excellent bridge that builds fortifications around this dark metal atmosphere. I'd like to point out that the abrasive melodies that follow must not only be some of the best melodic compositions Gary Dranow has ever delivered, they're also an excellent way to end this track with a big bang! In short, in "Human 1.0" Gary Dranow ventures into the world of nu-metal and the results are epically powerful.
Interview
Cru cru Gary Dranow, it's always a pleasure to have you back for a new interview. How are
you doing?
Hey, thanks for having me again! I'm doing great, thanks for asking. Ready to chat about
whatever you've got in mind!
What is "Human 1.0" and do you believe it belongs in the alternative radio scene?
"Human 1.0" refers to the idea of the original, basic version of humans before any advanced
technology or modifications. In the alternative radio scene, it could represent music and
ideas that are raw, authentic, and not overly processed or mainstream. Personally, I think
"Human 1.0" definitely belongs in alternative radio because it's all about embracing
authenticity and originality, which are key values in that scene.
What do you appreciate the most in the rock n' roll genre?
Well, I've always appreciated the energy and passion that comes with rock n' roll. It's like this
electric feeling that just grabs hold of you and won't let go. Plus, the freedom to express
yourself however you want through music is something special. Whether it's the pounding
drums, screaming guitars, or heartfelt lyrics, there's always something in rock n' roll that
speaks to me on a deeper level. It's like a wild ride that I never want to get off.
What is the biggest decision you’ve had to make as a musician?
The biggest decision I've had to make as a musician was whether to pursue music full-time
or keep it as a hobby while focusing on a different career. It was a tough choice because I
love music, but I also needed to consider financial stability. Ultimately, I decided to take the
leap and commit to music professionally. It wasn't easy, but it's been incredibly rewarding to
follow my passion and make a career out of something I truly love.
What is the biggest mistake you have made within your career to this point?
The biggest mistake I've made in my career so far? Well, I guess it would be waiting too long
to launch my albums. See, I had them all ready in an older version for a while, but I didn't
release them sooner. But you know what? It actually turned out okay because it gave me
more time to really focus on my music. So, maybe it wasn't such a big mistake after all.
How do you balance your time in the studio with other commitments such as a part-time job,
family, admin, etc.?
Well, it's not always easy, but I try to manage my time wisely. I make a schedule that
includes time for my part-time job, family, and all the boring admin stuff. Then, I carve out
specific chunks of time for the studio. Sometimes, it means sacrificing a bit of sleep or
leisure time, but it's worth it to pursue my passion. Plus, I try to involve my family in my
creative process when I can, so it doesn't feel like I'm neglecting them. It's all about finding
that balance and sticking to it as best as I can.
What jobs have you done other than being an artist?
Sure! Before I became an artist, I did a few different jobs. I was a soldier, where I served my
country. Then, I worked in business, handling all sorts of things to make money. And I also
used to be a ski racer, zooming down those slopes! So yeah, before I found my passion in
art, I had quite a mix of experiences.
What do you do in order to relax after a long day of hard work in the studio?
Well, after a long day in the studio, I like to unwind and relax in a few different ways.
Sometimes I just kick back and watch some TV or a movie. Other times, I'll grab a good
book and get lost in a story. And if I'm feeling really stressed, I might even do some
meditation or yoga to help clear my mind and relax my body. Overall, it's important for me to
find ways to decompress and recharge after putting in a lot of hard work.
Do you sing in the shower? If yes, what songs?
Yes, I absolutely sing in the shower! It's like my own little concert in there. I've got a few
favorite songs I like to belt out. There's "Mellow Drama," which is one of my own creations.
Then there's "Golden Child" and "Floating Away," both of which I also wrote. Singing in the
shower just feels so freeing, you know? It's my time to let loose and enjoy the music, even if
it's just me and the shampoo bottles.
Do you agree with the Pigeon?
Well, when it comes to music, I think it's more about personal taste. What I might like, the
Pigeon might not, and vice versa. So, I don't really "agree" or "disagree" with the Pigeon on
music. We all have our own preferences, and that's what makes music so interesting.
