interview under fire podcast s09 e15 amos williams of tesseract

Live streaming has been the norm for the last 18 months, and we are no strangers to it. Having said that, there are live streaming concerts, and then there are Tesseract live-streaming concerts. The progressive-metal U.K. based band are on the verge of dropping a groundbreaking cinematic experience titled “Portals.” Performed back in December of 2020, the demand has been so high from viewers around the world that the band decided to release it as an album for the books that will be remembered for any music fan (and perhaps even movie fan) out there. Tesseract’s visionary and gifted bassist Amos Williams is our humble guest today as he takes us through an amazing journey filled with the creative ideas and cinematography which brought this vision to life. “Portals” has potentially set the bar high for live-streaming concerts going forward, and it goes to show how Tesseract has made the best of this worldwide event and have turned it into a staple in their impressive catalog. Aside from the theatrics, we also get the chance to talk to Amos about the importance of being a bass player in a band where the instrument can serve as a heartbeat for a song. Tesseract has a way of taking you through the emotions and waves within their compositions – and Amos discusses these elements and why they are something that is important not only to him, but also music in general. It is a band that continues to evolve and can fit into many subgenres. Tune in now with our conversation with Amos, and do not miss “Portals,” Tesseract’s highly-anticipated live concert experience, out now through Kscope Records.
