Ann Marie Dwyer interviews Novachild
Friday, December 16, 2011
Ann Marie Dwyer, a rather prolific blogger and supporter of independent musicians, has interviewed me for “The Coffee Shoppe” blog.
Excerpt:
The M3 Coffee Shoppe has been grooving to the richly unique sound of Novachild. Red jumped at the chance to interview Bruce Rich about the album, Havia. Bruce spilled quite a few personal and industry beans in the process.
M3: What make Havia different from everything else in the genre?
BR: I draw from many wells, and I feel that at least half of the inspiration for Havia came from places no one can touch or share unless they hear it. The other half is style...
Stop by M3 for the rest of the answer and so much more about Novachild and Havia.

Novachild Album "Havia" Reviewed by DarkKitty
Tuesday, November 22, 2011
Dana, aka “DarkKitty, the Sadistic Minx,” is variety performer, optical illusionist, and event promoter in Tulsa, OK. She is also a Model/Spokeswoman at Fatman Concepts Photography. She is the face and voice of the company, as well as providing makeup, costuming and posing.
I had the pleasure of assisting DarkKitty Productions with helping to facilitate a Red Cross Benefit show. “Red Cross Rocks,” held in the summer of 2010 at Club Utopia in Tulsa, OK, was an inspiring and successful event with a lot of hard work and passion put behind it. My band, “The Living Machines,” also managed to squeeze in a set. :)
Earlier today, I asked her what she thought of my new album, and this is what she wrote.
Review of Novachild’s 2011 album “Havia”
by Dayna VanHauen, “DarkKitty” of DarkKitty Productions

When you think of the name Novachild, what is the first thing that comes to your mind?
Try separating the two words that complete the name and you get; “Nova”: Plural Novae or novas. A white dwarf star that suddenly and temporarily becomes extremely bright as a result of the explosion at its sun of material accreted from an expanding companion star. Next the word, “child”: a youth of gentle birth. Both perfectly matching to a tee description of the artist, Bruce Rich aka Novachild.
Every composition I have heard of his was a pure burst of brilliance in my ear drums that had a huge impact on my inner youth. I had the pleasure of listening to Novachild in the past, and I have always become easily lost in his compositions. The blends of ambient sounds and waves of many instruments help guide you into an entire new world far better than the everyday one.
As most of his music reminds me of a score from a life inspired movie, certain songs always stood out to me more than others. A perfect example is the song “Analogue Revolutionary”. This song is definitely a song I’d like to blast through the speakers in my car as I drive a long winding road. The many sounds that come together in a multitude of percussion and the electronic patterns is perfect for soothing the soul and guiding you through another dimension. The music promotes carefree thought.
Another song that stood out to me was the song “Kiss That Baby”. Knowing that Novachild is a relatively new father of a beautiful baby, I felt the strong love he has for his bundle of joy come through his talents. The distant sounds of babies natural cooing and giggling took me right back to the days that my very own bundle was in infant stage. The playful electronic tone and robotic chants of baby kissing that carried through the song that took me back a couple of years to when I was looking down into the sparkling eyes of my offspring.
Last but not least, the next song that stood out was “Our Pleasant Moments Fly”. I really can’t even explain why this song stood out to me. Perhaps, the genius jazzy influence that roared together, or perhaps it was a message subliminally implanted into my brain. Either way, the song was sensational!
Novachild is one artist that I look forward to every album that is released. Each album just gets better and better. I highly recommend this artist to anyone who enjoys tracks of pure relaxation, message and inspiration.

Happy Logo Customer
Wednesday, September 21, 2011
I spent a few hours working on a logo for Colin’s insurance agency. He’s a swell dude from Jamaica, and he also happens to be a photographer, which means his eye is keener than most.
During the brainstorm process, I asked him a number of questions, picking his brain for clues as to what he likes, dislikes, prefers etc. We went through colors, shapes, comparative logo elements, and came up with something together that appealed to my client. We were both quite pleased.
This is his letter of recommendation. I will soon be designing his business cards, web site, and door sign.

Bruce: Thanks for designing my logo. It was great working with you because I got the feeling from the very beginning that you knew exactly what you were about and how to extract from me what it was that I was looking for. Your responses were punctual, you were clear and concise, and when you provided the end result all those who saw it were extremely pleased. I will most definitely be hooking up with you on future projects, as I find you to be very creative and reasonable, two characteristics I find lacking in many others. Again thanks for what you have done! Colin T. Bent

From the Archives: Novachild Interviews Novachild
Friday, July 22, 2011
Found this interview laying around in some abandoned files. Thought I’d share. It’s from October 2007 for TulsaMusicNews.com (now defunct).
Q: What book do you casually put out on your coffee table to impress visitors? A: Typically I am the visitor, so I’m not accustomed to having guests. However, I’ve been known to leave Terry Pratchett novels sitting on the coffee table. Once, I remember quite deliberately placing the Tao on my coffee table, but nobody really noticed.
Q: What do you love about music? A: I love the different textures, the resonance, the dissonance, the way it makes my chest open up and my heart pound when a swelling chord reaches its peak. I love music that I can chew on for hours, music that is more like a painting than a quick doodle.
Q: Tell us the brief history of Novachild. A: Summer, 1998. I discovered a great piece of software coded by a fellow in Amsterdam named Bram Bos (now a good acquaintance of mine) called Tuareg. It was billed as a ‘Phrase Sampler’ but was much more. I made a hundred songs with it, and when he gave me a license for version 2.5, I made a hundred more. I became involved in a small but passionate community of other aspiring computer musicians and developed some intriguing relationships and collaborations. But it wasn’t until I discovered Ableton Live and VSTi’s (virtual instruments) that I considered live performance. I self released my first CD, “Micro Cosm,” in 2002. It was very amateurish but contained the seeds of something happening. I followed it up with the “Subliminal Skin” EP in 2003, which consisted of several tracks from a second album I shelved. “Traveller” arrived in 2004 and this began my foray into live performance. My latest release is the “Weary Demons EP,” released in the summer of 2006. I’m working on a full-length at the moment, which should be ready sometime early next year.
Q: Which radio stations do you listen to? A: If I listen to the radio, I tend to gravitate to NPR, or college radio, and sometimes I get a wild streak and tune into Coast To Coast AM because I enjoy listening to the nutcases and their alien abduction stories at three in the morning. I also enjoy listening to police and emergency scanners, and I miss my Pro97. I even used it in performances, but when my wife and I split up I sold it, along with other priceless items, to raise money for a move to my apartment. I will buy another one eventually!
Q: What specific themes do your songs cover? A: In generally, my process of writing is so abstract and internalized that I can’t begin to describe my work in terms of a ‘grand theme’ or some authoritative concept. There are exceptions. My 2004 album ‘Traveller is the soundtrack to my life at the time, the weakening of my ‘post-marital bliss’ and many other realizations. It was spawned by my deep-rooted need to experience the road again, to reach out and melt into the awesome sunsets that inspired me in the midst of relationship turmoil.
Lately my material has been mostly inspired by watching human behavior. I often sit at coffeeshops with my laptop and headphones, sipping on my drink, enjoying a scone, and writing the energy that I see around me.
Q: What made you decide to study music? A: My parents were the main perpetrators of my music bug. When I was very young, they bought me a drum kit and hired our church drummer to teach me how to play. I enjoyed it immensely, but being 7 years old I simply didn’t have the self-motivation to stick with the studies. In Junior High, my parents bought me a trumpet, a decent Yamaha student trumpet that I wish I still owned. I was quite good. However, our family moved to Tulsa, and my new band instructor refused to place me in a chair because I had enrolled late. So I rebelled and walked away from it, never to return. However, I had already caught the guitar bug, and since then I have studied bass, acoustic and electric guitar. I have also incorporated hand percussion, synthesis and computer music into my studies. Piano is hopefully my next adventure!
Q: What is your favorite food? A: Channa Masala with garlic naan, followed by a cup of chai and a bowl of gulab jaman. I adore Indian cuisine.
Q: What aspect of making music excites you the most right now? A: Having invested in hardware over the years, I’ve found that traveling light is most inspirational. I also love being the opening act, because that means less gear I have to wrangle into the back of the car. My Novation X-Station has most everything I need to perform – modeling synth, midi controller, inputs and outputs. I can’t recommend it enough, though I am still working out some kinks.
Q: What aspect of making music gets you the most discouraged? A: Truthfully, there are a few things biting at my heels at the moment, the first of which has to do with my MacBook and discovering its limitations. I was sold on the Mac hype, but now I have this laptop, which is a wonderful piece of equipment, but it simply doesn’t have the power that was promised. My 4-year-old PC can handle more voices! And as far as Macs never crashing… I have proven that to be a great myth. Still, overall the good outweighs the bad, and occasionally limitations can be a benefit to inspiration. One other discouraging factor is the ‘home town’ syndrome. Tulsa is home to some amazing talent, but 95% of these talented people have to play cover songs in front of drunken masses to obtain recognition. Tulsa has seen better days in the indie music scene; there used to be much more solidity and stability - room for individuality - but my impression of Tulsa as it stands is that if you don’t play a guitar or scream or do covers, people tend take what you do less seriously. I really hope we can change this.
Q: What do you think about downloading music online? A: In a world where every radio station plays maybe .05% of the music being produced, there is no better way to discover what other people are doing. The music industry is deliberately dishonest in its portrayal of modern music; like any other industry in America, they would rather squeeze out every last penny from the tired old horse than allow diversity to bloom and musical evolution to take flight. Meanwhile small collectives of musical innovators are not being heard. It’s a shame. Personally, I support downloading and file sharing, and I release my material under a Creative Commons Sharealike license. If everyone relied on current ‘legal’ methods for obtaining and discovering new music, the evolution of music would continue to be controlled and defined by the industry. It’s much more interesting to have this ‘explosion’ of different sounds than to have music filtered through the money machine before it reaches the listener.
As far as the artists getting paid for their work… I don’t seriously believe that a true fan of music would settle for a 128k compressed mp3. That’s why I think LP’s are still relevant. And playing live is essential.
Q: Name a band or musician, past or present, who you flat-out LOVE and think more people should be listening to. A: I’ll give you a couple. Tortoise is a fantastic instrumental band from Chicago. Their approach to music is nonlinear and methodical. Seeing it happen live is truly the only way to appreciate what they are doing, and I can’t recommend them enough. Especially (the album) TNT. Another great band I’ve been listening to quite a bit lately is Gravenhurst. They’re from Bristol, UK. Each song has a different flavor and yet somehow is pure honey. What strikes me as funny is how little ‘electronic music’ I have been listening to over the past couple of years. Aside from a few Warp and indie artists I’ve discovered, I haven’t found much electronica to fall in love with since the late ‘90s.
Q: What is the first record that you recall purchasing yourself? A: Back when you could still buy records at Wal-Mart, I remember begging my mother to buy me the double-vinyl adaptation of Disney's “The Black Hole.” I wish I still owned it.
Last Question: Tell us about your next shows and why we should be there. A: I am opening for Tranny this Friday, September 21st. You should be there if you like good independent music, like to have a good time and have an open mind to different styles. Tranny is a straight-up ‘midwestern’ rock band, and they have incredible live energy. ‘Font’ is a producer here in Oklahoma that performs in a similar way as Novachild but has more of a jungle/drum and bass quality. Lastly, it’s my first official Novachild performance since last August, and I would love to see everyone there having a good time.
My next scheduled performance is October 12; I am headlining the first night of the 2-day OK Electric Music Festival - downtown Tulsa @ the Blue Dome. It’s a wonderful event sponsored by Living Arts of Tulsa and maintained by my good friend Jake Thomason. This year will feature workshops, a special video presentation from the inventor of MIDI, and more high-profile regional electronic acts than you can shake a stick at.
I cannot recommend OK Electric enough, and I hope that more music fans will come out and support it this year because it is indeed something different, special, and memorable.
