In the sixty-second episode of the Hidden Driveway Show, I had the honor of interviewing melancholia blue, an ambient producer from Massachusetts! He's a member of the collective Caper Flower, and his lush, calming music allows the listener to reflect on their own experiences. I hope you enjoy!MELANCHOLIA BLUE'S SOCIALShttps://x.com/jaaaaaaacobbbbhttps://www.instagram.com/jaaaaaaacobbbb/https://soundcloud.com/melancholiablueHIDDEN DRIVEWAY SOCIALShttps://twitter.com/hiddendriveway_https://www.instagram.com/hiddendriveway_/Listen to Hidden Driveway on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3hSJP0juKCmJYHYmHVzS00?si=e4602b80dda54cf1Curated Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/07YUuoKvKv9J97PEyCDPTp?si=f0dbc4ded45a4586Curated SoundCloud Playlist: https://soundcloud.com/aamufr/sets/hidden-drivewayAAMU'S SOCIALShttps://twitter.com/aamufrhttps://www.instagram.com/aamufr/https://soundcloud.com/aamufrSHOUTOUT TO RESTLESS TOO FOR MAKING THE THUMBNAILhttps://x.com/restlessbaghttps://www.instagram.com/restlesslp/https://soundcloud.com/prodrestlessIntroduction - 0:00 Our sleep schedules - 0:44 The purpose behind his music - 3:47 How melancholia blue got into making music, and his influences for it - 6:40 How melancholia blue visualizes his art - 11:37 His process for making songs - 17:42 Using multiple DAWs, and our challenges with backing up our files - 18:51 Struggling with knowing what to release under his main artist project - 24:37 Things melancholia blue has forgotten - 27:17 melancholia blue’s most memorable dreams - 36:41 Hiding his music from people while he was in school - 42:38 Experiencing success from Spotify playlisting - 46:38 The process of working on “funny paper open sandwich crustaceans” and “interest resting for traditional legacy” - 50:51 Things melancholia blue has been interested in recently - 59:15 Intense game of rock paper scissors - 1:04:15 Brainrot - 1:06:08 Things melancholia blue has stopped doing - 1:12:06 Going in a more abrasive direction with his next project - 1:23:54 What’s next for melancholia blue? - 1:26:52 Shoutouts - 1:29:35 Outro - 1:30:40 i wasnt familiar with j's music going into this but its quickly become some of my go to stuff to listen to at night, super beautiful music and im glad i had the chance to talk to and learn about him in this :D #melancholia #blue #hidden #driveway #show #underground #artist #interview #aamu #music #ambient #album #eight #funny #paper #open #sandwich #crustacean #lifeblood #eclipse #frown #j #caper #flower #heavensouls #cooper #god #bless #massachusetts
