Does that mean you are going stick to it in the future? Your tight IDM feel, Dubby beats and touch of masterfully produced atmospheres. It features a combination of all your projects as I perceived. Your last album, The Divine Invasion, that was released in April on Aleph Zero Records.

Small festival, but potent and it felt like a family gathering of like minded souls. One event that sticks out in my memory was a festival called “In:Vision” which took place in an old growth forest with a pond in British Columbia. What’s the most memorable party you’ve played at and why? Previous to that I had had a few DJ gigs at Burning Man and other festivals. I guess it would be great to work with Peter Gabriel!Ĭan you remember when and where your first gig was?įirst gig playing my own music as Bluetech… hmmm, can’t remember exact specifics, but I played an outdoor Psy event in the Los Angeles area before my album was released, did a few small club shows in San Diego. Is there an artist you want to work with that you have not yet had the opportunity to work with? Originality and unique vision is the only real way to gain fans who will take the journey with you wherever the music leads. Never compromise your personal aesthetic to try and sound like what else is happening. What advice would you give to aspiring musicians? I think like a lot of producers, I’m really just trying to capture the sounds in my head, fragments of melodies overheard in dreams, and trying to put things that are timeless into a format which can be experienced in time (I.E. When we talk about music production, where do you mine all the inspiration from? The Evan Marc project hopefully achieves this goal. What made you dive into the Tech/Minimal waters and start producing that style of music?īecause I enjoy it! I have the most fun dancing to music which is groove oriented, and intelligent and emotional, activating different parts of my being. The Evan Marc alias is for more specifically 4/4 oriented dance music, in whatever permutation that evolves into. It’s a platform where I disregard all the rules, and allow myself to go wherever the music takes me.

Could you tell us more about those two projects?Įvan Bartholomew is an outlet for me to express more experimental and non linear sides of my musical aesthetic. Prima Materia was where it all really came together and things started moving.Īfter you released “Sines & Singularities” in 2005, you started to release albums under the names ‘Evan Marc’ and ‘Evan Bartholomew’. I had DJ’ed on a smaller scale previous to this, but only locally.

I’ve been playing music my whole life, but my first tracks and first album came out in 2003, which was really the start of all of this for me. How did you get started in the music business? I also collect and cultivate rare tropical plants and other exotic species. It seems as if there is a golden oscillating heart of mysticism in the core of each religious tradition, and I’m fascinated by the way different cultures over time have expressed these core concepts. Other than music, I’m really into the study of comparative religion and the development of mythology and culture throughout history. I’m currently living on the big island of Hawaii, on an acre in a super lush rainforest. I had the opportunity to ask him a few questions about himself, his past, where he see’s himself going and his thoughts on music in general.Ĭould you start off by telling us something about yourself? Namely, your large web presence doesn’t divulge much about your personal life about which we all would like to know more. His fusion of different rhythmic styles, time signatures and cultural influences are what have really set him apart with an originality and uniqueness unparalleled. His intrinsic knowledge of chord theory and melodic structures via his classical training at an early age has become the framework for his auditory tapestries. Let’s check it out and come back to the past of Bluetech.Įvan Marc Bartholomew or Bluetech as you may know him has become one of the most prolific and creative forces in the growth of Chillout over the last half decade. This one was take 6 years ago (!) by Igor Kauric. Today we fill up our Anthology project with the next interview.
