Thanks, Adrien, for an incredibly insightful interview - both on your part and John’s. I’ve witnessed first hand the immense differences in perspective between un-selfconscious scenes like the metal and prog camps, and the more self-aware indie milieu. It can be both interesting, entertaining and frustrating shifting between those scenes. And your talk really illuminates that!
