At one time I wrote for RIME Magazine, as you’ve seen from the articles I’ve uploaded thus far. In 2004, right before I stopped writing for RIME, I was given the chance to interview Vast Aire. Look Mom No Hands had just come out and it was a great time to interview Vast about where he’d been and what he looked forward to in his career. Lots of great info, including Vast’s musical beginnings, the making of The Cold Vein and the creative process of Look Mom... Get comfortable, this is a good one. And this interview is a one of one, so remember where you got it. Enjoy.
