"The Human Circuit’s second album “Frequent Seas” is a thing of beauty. Fusing together essential instrumental and harmonious build-ups with expressive lyrics, The Human Circuit’s music articulates what it means to be fundamentally human and free." - Austin Live Review
"both playful but deliberate, touched with a hint of the surreal. Like a waking dream, The Human Circuit weaved keyboards, synthesizers, violins, trumpets, trombones and vocals into a lush musical experience." - Austin Live Review
With The Human Circuit’s music video to be released in mid-November, what was your favorite aspect of creating your video for “Time As Proof”?
My favorite part, which I’m certain varies between us each, was noticing how quickly our community was able to come together and create a masterpiece out of a vague idea. We all connected and learned to communicate with each other much better than ever before.
What other musical projects have you been involved in?
I record solo records but tend to keep them a secret. I change my name every time in order to keep it mostly out of sight. The next project which is planned to be released before December is called Henry Spencer’s Radiator. It’s a full length album titled Inner Sessions. It will be available free for anyone this December.
What’s something very few people would guess about you?
Strangely, I’m also a registered nurse with a Bachelor of Science degree and a Bridging Discipline in ethics of healthcare. I practice nursing three nights per week and music/videos the rest of the time.
What advice do you have for aspiring musicians?
Practice your rudiments and scales. But then unlearn them all. Play shows – a lot. Go to shows, especially locally – great knowledge and great networking.
Mostly: find your best friends that are musicians and play music with them. Never ever entertain being in a band with someone you can’t respect, love, and defend.
- Mat Oldiges - Trish Connolly
