I am really grateful for your honesty about your heart not being in covering the later DTP records. I think pretty much every core Devin Townsend fan is into your work because it's honest and from the heart, even if we don't really get it for the first few listens. That said, Epicloud, Z2 and especially Transcendence are some of favorite albums ever. If you think about it, if you really think about it, Epicloud is like a cheeseburger. Simple, well layered and constructed and enjoyable by everyone. Anyway, thanks for all you do. It's guided me through a lot and I will always be grateful
Devin, you are just incredible. You will never stop to amaze me. Your dedication, your passion for your craft. We're almost the same age, and I have been following you since I'm 20 years old. Have a great time in Australia and in Japan. I'm looking forward to see what's in your bag in the next few weeks. BTW, Dreampeace is really working... So thank you a thousand times from Ottawa, On.
We were in Melbourne seeing your remarkable performance last night. Just wanted to drop by to say thank you so much for your talent, generosity & it was just wonderful to be experiencing your music first hand ❤
I'm travelling 700kms plus from Hobart Tasmania to Melbourne to see you on Friday 10th Nov. Looking forward to it. I hope the jet lag isn't too nasty, I mean, 24hrs 😳😪. 👌💖
Thanks for the update, Devin. Working on my 3rd album at the moment and just wanna say thanks for being a constant source of inspiration and imagination. Don't go changin'! 🙂⭐💖🌈🍔
Saw you in Perth on Wednesday. I hadn’t seen you since you played here as SYL around 2003 (which is one of my favourite shows I’ve ever been to). Wednesday your show was absolutely wild and it exceeded expectations and my expectations were high!
Thanks for your podcasts. You are a real inspiration and bring me back to believe that music can impact the people as yours in me. I can't express with words what your albums has become to me in the last hard times. Thanks. God bless.
Love you brother! And man, I love you for talking about what’s going on. You are a creative source, and it helps to see someone just be real and talk. Much Mahalo
Hey just wanted to say thanks. I’m in Cleveland. Saw you after Animals. I’ve been going through all your work. Wow just wow!! Podcast can be great. Keep it super simple and you will enjoy it way more than tryin to make it some big thing
Dev, I know doing continuous uploads like this is hard, but I know it’s working. Thank you for sharing more of your life with us. Through the storm may you become a rainbow! 🌈
All of your content has been such a blessing. Producing my first original music at 59, and you are my inspirational spark. It would be incredible to see a rough footage documentary of your next recording process like the vlog for Transendance. Everything is so appreciated and so well received Have a safe and wonderful trip Cheers!!
Devin i watch you not only because im a fan of your music.. But also the updates you provide i find a joy too listen too. Also those dreampieces you created are Great also..
Every project you do is a journey, unpredictable, an adventure. I can feel the emotion that you can feel in each update that you upload, I enjoy each video in which you comment on how you experience the trip and I wait expectantly for the result of this new musical exploration journey. Thanks for the puzzle film and dreampeace, I listen to it every night before going to sleep. I will keep on checking your channel.
@Devin Townsend - Really appreciate your character and realism that you share with us in these videos. I enjoy them very much, you're a righteous dude. Safe travels and hope all goes well. Blessings, Fender1960CS
Weird to see this pop up, I was just listening to Lightworker yesterday. Thanks for the update fellow BC'r, keep on trucking man and come over and pluck some strings on the Sunshine Coast (The BC One) one of these days. Safe travels.
Hey Devy, I hope you have/had fun in Australia! I saw the picture of you with the little furry creature, how cute! It's such a shame that I've only been able to see you once... During dream Sonic in Dallas, but it was an amazing show! Think you'll be coming back to cameo after your tour is over?
Quick Cam Tip: whatever frame-rate you shoot at (24fps, 30, or 60) make sure your shutter speed is double your frame-rate. Gives natural motion blur so you don't look choppy! (24fps - 1/50, 30fps - 1/60, 60fps - 1/120). Or you just do you 🤘😉🤘
You are always compelling, Devin. What I would love to see and learn from, is how exactly do you do your writing? You say you do it quickly but I'd love to be a fly on the wall to your process. Guitars, keyboards, bass, vocals, etc.
Sounds like you've got a head full of stuff at the moment man.. looking forward to experiencing whatever it becomes. Safe travels and enjoy the gigs! *^^*
Devin! Just binged on your last few updates + this over the last hour, and I'll spare you the circumstantial details, but it was great to replace my own thoughts with yours for a bit ... Puzzle has been one of my favorite albums this last year, the wackiness makes it interesting and relatable. Whatever's next, I'll be thankful for, I hope the process is enjoyable for you. Cheers & have an amazing day 😀
Devin I hope the concerts go well! One thing I was thinking is that you could name the updates by the date you publish them on, so once there are are lots of them they are easier to find retrospectively in the channel. Good luck in Japan and Australia.
If you have time, check out the town of Fremantle just outside of Perth. The Main Street has New Orleans vibes with a lot of street musicians and great food.
I needed to hear something discussed in this update. Converting the feelings to sound might seem like the obvious objective of a project….but it isn’t obvious. If you ‘know’ you have guitars, bass, drums, and their respective tonal signatures, it’s easy to box yourself into the typical parameters of those instruments. But when you deliberately reset your goals to saying “THIS feeling must be expressed clearly”, it makes you rethink your configuration bigtime. And if that slows you down…well, that’s why that process takes so long. My kids play in high school marching band, and compete against the best schools in the US. When you see the top ten bands lay it out in a stadium, doing what originally amounted to the same process, it is astounding. It’s a good time to be a musician.
Dev! Consider doing an album with Jimmy Chamberlin. Think about it. The two of you could find the perfect sound together. Much love from Australia. I can't see you while your here but still. Love you brother.
So right, both you and Hans. Setting an 'ambiance' for an album is so important. and a n art a bit lost these days. I even do the same with songs. I need a title, that setts the mood and landscape .

Can’t wait for Wed night here in Perth. Can’t say how thankful I am that you make it out this way. Safe travels

This series is fantastic. More relaxing than ASMR. Please continue.
Welcome back to Australia Devin, the weather is fantastic ATM. Looking forward to the Melbourne gig.
See you Wednesday Devin! We really appreciate you travelling this far. Perth is always in awe of your visits.
Thanks for the update, Devin. Working on my 3rd album at the moment and just wanna say thanks for being a constant source of inspiration and imagination.
Don't go changin'! 🙂⭐💖🌈🍔
working on my 2nd! (high five!) Dev's willingness to just fucking create and damn-the-torpedoes is a great source of motivation.
Saw you in Perth on Wednesday. I hadn’t seen you since you played here as SYL around 2003 (which is one of my favourite shows I’ve ever been to). Wednesday your show was absolutely wild and it exceeded expectations and my expectations were high!
I'm digging the regular updates, even if they're short

Very cool talking points about the creative process 💯 Thank you for all that you share with us - much love from Vancouver 🫶
Hey Dev! Thanks for the update! Looking forward to the future podcasts.
Hans Zimmer, Steve Vai... If you ever needed affirmation that you're a music god

Looking forward to the podcast. Safe travels and please, I photo of your proper Aussie attire LOL🤘
Mil gracias por tu trabajo, thanks a lot for you to continue your labor , greetings from Spain, Murcia 🎉
Wish I could see the Australia show, but I had to choose between that and the puzzle, haha. I hope your trip is great!
Most compelling viewing, Dev! MOST compelling! Don't undersell yourself, my man!
I hope you're able to interview Ihsahn for your podcast!
Man, going to Rotnest Island to play with quokkas with Devvy sounds like the greatest day in the world lol
Sounds like you've got a head full of stuff at the moment man.. looking forward to experiencing whatever it becomes. Safe travels and enjoy the gigs! *^^*

Love the updates Dev! ❤
Devin I hope the concerts go well! One thing I was thinking is that you could name the updates by the date you publish them on, so once there are are lots of them they are easier to find retrospectively in the channel. Good luck in Japan and Australia.
I dare you to make a song with guest Yngwie solo out of his usual comfort zone, call it 'Infinity of Donuts' only you can do this Devin.
90 ideas? If 10 of them turn into DT quality songs that would be a major win. Keep posting and thanks.
Take care devi! Hope to see you in Vancouver soon!
If you have time, check out the town of Fremantle just outside of Perth. The Main Street has New Orleans vibes with a lot of street musicians and great food.
Cant wait for Melbourne show ,taking my daughter to see your show ,she can't wait 🤘👍🤘
Thanks for the updates, see you in Melbourne on Friday!
Love those vids, keep them coming Dev ❤
i love how you can't be not funny if you are in a good mood.

Please come to New Zealand again sometime. I missed your show here when you came with the DTP. It's one of my big regrets in life.
Yes Steve Vai! That guy is a mountain of knowledge and inspiration
Good luck on your tour. Have fun, man.
@DevinTownsend_ ah, really, what did I win?
What ever the next project is I really hope Anne is involved.
Love the puzzle. Thank you for that. Cant wait to see what you create next. Fly safe
Goodness me, you look spectacular for being 51. You've hardly aged a day.
CZcams Seniors be damned, I love the updates!
I am so excited to see you in Perth!
Dev! Consider doing an album with Jimmy Chamberlin. Think about it. The two of you could find the perfect sound together. Much love from Australia. I can't see you while your here but still. Love you brother.
Vai on the podcast sounds like fun. Enjoy the tour.
It's warming up in Melbourne this week, so looking forward to seeing your legs in shorts! We have a saying here too: 'seen better legs on a table'....
