Trivium & StayOut
StayOut
Ever think about how a forest sounds like a live band, each branch a bass line and the wind the drums? I bet that beats any studio mix.
Trivium
Yeah, forests have that raw groove you can't bottle, each branch thumping like a bass line, wind snareing the rhythm, and it's a band that never stops playing. Studio mixes are slick, but they miss that living, breathing vibe that keeps me wired.
StayOut
Yeah, it’s the only place where you can get a full set without paying the sound engineer. Just remember, if you get a branch that snaps, it’s not a mic failure. Just another risk to manage.
Trivium
Exactly, and that risk keeps the performance real—no autotune, just raw, untamed energy. If a branch snaps, you’ve got to improvise on the spot, that’s the only true test of a band’s soul.
StayOut
You bet. The only thing better than a mic is a branch that goes out of tune—just swap the next beat for a sigh and you’re still on rhythm.
Trivium
I hear you, the wildness of nature keeps the groove honest, a sigh in place of a perfect note still moves the crowd.
