He connects his interest in nonlinear communication to the dissonance between hearing English at home and Japanese everywhere else as he talks about his early memories of sound. He discusses how he had a different relationship with sound than his classmates, describing how his understanding of sound is naturally fragmented since he focuses on the individual components. He describes the large variety of music he heard on his mother's record players and on the television and radio.

Hinds discusses why he calls his music " ; Appalachian Trance Metal" ; by describing the meaning of each word. He talks about choosing " ; Appalachian" ; because of his location in Athens, stating that it keeps him moored to the earth. He describes how " ; Trance" ; relates to the structure of his music which follows the path of a trance as it moves from welcome to specialization and discontinuity to a safe return. He describes learning this format from his 2001 trip to Morocco where he studied under a Gnawa master, Mahmoud Guinia. He talks about how " ; Metal" ; relates to the industrialization that shaped his youth in New Jersey. He describes the precision manufacturing of place and musical elements in heavy metal music as people work together to push the limits of physical possibility, and he talks about how people wrongly focus on superficial stereotypes of metal music.

Hinds describes the structure of his music. He begins with a welcome and ends with a safe return which was influenced by his experience studying Gnawa music in Morocco. He describes how meeting Peter Kowald, a famous German double bassist, showed him that it was possible to remain calm throughout a performance and make performing a meditative process. Hinds talks about how he is deliberate with the energy and decorum of his music in order to carefully wrap up the energy of the sound and create a sense of moving on at the end. audience ; concerts ; Hamid Drake ; improvisation ; musical dissonance ; Peter Kowald 2751 Music's relation to Athens I want to get a little bit to talking about how this music relates with Athens.

Hinds describes how the response to his music became more positive as he became more confident because people respond to the energy of the performer.

Hinds describes sometimes calling his music " ; Piedmont Shaman Rock" ; instead of " ; Appalachian Trance Folk" ; because it is more accurate. He now lives in the Piedmont Region, and his music is not metronomic or steady like most trance music. However, he talks about the stigma and implications of the word " ; shaman" ; which make him hesitant of the word even though it is more accurate. On one hand, " ; shaman" ; has been corrupted by cultural appropriation and consumerism, and on the other, it is associated with divine wisdom. Hinds states that he typically continues to use " ; Appalachian Trance Folk" ; to describes his music when asked, but he says that he usually just calls himself a musician. communication ; Mahmoud Guinia ; musical style ; Rock music ; shamanistic music Oral History No transcript.
