Matt Connarton Unleashed: Kenny Truhn (3-22-25)

0:00 Speaker 1: Oh that is cool. That is brand new from Kenny Truon, who is here with us and we're going to speak with him in just a moment. Jenny is here at the news desk for the news table. I'm sorry we have a news table. I I I'm so used to saying that.

4:44 Speaker 2: You have to.

4:45 Speaker 1: Well, we were we were talking about time travel in a in a certain sense, because can we do that yet, Well we'll we'll explain things we need to do. Yes, yes, uh.

4:57 Speaker 3: We get that.

4:57 Speaker 1: Let me get that mic up there, Jenny True here is I. Well, you know who did not believe in time? Was Prince I only know that from a Larry King interview. Oh no, I'm sorry. It was Kurt Loader. Remember Kurt Loader from the MTV News. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and he uh he asked Prince. Uh well, Prince said he didn't believe in time and Kurt Loader was like, so what do you use? And uh, Prince said, I believe in the truth. And that was kind of the end of the interview.

5:24 Speaker 2: I love that.

5:26 Speaker 3: Was that the same.

5:27 Speaker 1: Interview where he wanted he said he wanted to create Princet gram pro. No, this this would have been before because Instagram was not around when Kurt Loder was still interviewing people on MTV.

5:41 Speaker 2: Yeah.

5:41 Speaker 1: Yeah, different, very very different era, very different era. But yeah, we're very happy to have Kenny truon here. It's been a while. Yeah, we have since we've been at this location here. We did have a gentleman named Kenneth Wood here, but but we have not had Kenny truon here at the former the Warmer bus station. Yeah. So it's great to see you.

6:02 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's awesome, Black guys. I love hanging with you guys.

6:04 Speaker 1: Absolutely tell us about that track we just heard.

6:07 Speaker 4: Yeah, that track I was trying to explain to you. It was labeled playing with myself.

6:13 Speaker 2: Now.

6:13 Speaker 4: That sounds a little weird, but this is what I labeled it as I was doing it. But it's called recording music with my past self from the future in the present now.

6:24 Speaker 2: Yes, I know it's a.

6:26 Speaker 1: Very long title and it almost sounds like part of it should be in parentheses or you know, it's it's a long title.

6:33 Speaker 4: Yeah, it is, but it makes sense to me because I'm constantly when I build a track, I start, especially with that song that you just heard, I started with the drums, so I go into it not knowing what I'm gonna do, I have a tempo to work with and I just go yeah, So it's kind of free form improv whatever.

6:54 Speaker 1: Yeah.

6:55 Speaker 4: So then by the time I recorded the next instrument, bass, it was already a month after I did the drums. Yeah, And at this point I don't really remember what I did, but I'm jamming with myself when I'm recording the bass.

7:11 Speaker 2: Makes sense, so that is improv as well.

7:14 Speaker 4: And then the next step was guitar, and then I did the guitar a month later after that, so I'm constantly playing with myself a different.

7:24 Speaker 2: Phases of I don't know throughout what do we call time if.

7:30 Speaker 1: That's I guess truth throughout if we accept time as a.

7:36 Speaker 4: Time is Yeah, So basically it's a mouthful, but that's that's the ideology behind that.

7:45 Speaker 1: If you worked that way before, or was this track your first time doing.

7:48 Speaker 4: It that way, I think I've kind of figured out my workflow with starting with drums first. I'm a drummer as well, but I like to literally played the drums versus and then jams and myself, and that became a thing that I figured out, you know, after a while producing music that was just you know, I used to come up with the ideas first and the guitar singing or whatever, but then I started working backwards.

8:15 Speaker 2: I'm like, I.

8:15 Speaker 4: Want to start with the beat. What's driving me? Is it dis tempo?

8:22 Speaker 2: Is it that? You know what I mean?

8:23 Speaker 4: That's the most important thing that I think now when I create music is where I start from. Okay, so I work backwards. Okay, okay for me?

8:31 Speaker 2: Are the drums live on that or are they drums are live? Yeah? Okay, that's me playing them actual drums. Yeah.

8:37 Speaker 4: I recorded them in New York at rich Roy Studios Mike Bercillo and uh so, then I recorded the bass in New Hampshire. Okay, So it's like where am I Like, I'm different points of time meeting each other in the This is why it's like whatever, if you're into that kind of thing, it's it's kind of fun.

9:00 Speaker 1: You're playing with yourself in different times but also different geographical location.

9:05 Speaker 4: And I'm not really writing anything. I'm just kind of like going with whatever was put before me. Yeah, you know what I mean, I'm just following myself. Yeah, and I might get lost, but it's kind of making sense.

9:15 Speaker 2: It makes it.

9:16 Speaker 4: But you know right right, it's fun Like I don't know, I'm just experimenting with different yeah ideas all the time.

9:24 Speaker 1: No, I did it. The reason I was particularly curious about the drums is, you know, there was a time where you could you could program drums, but they wouldn't sound realistic, yeah, or like like some of the early drum machines for example, as I'm sure you know, you could get a really good, convincing snare, of course, but the toms would sound terrible, you know what I mean? This is an example. But now the drum sounds that you can get with program drums or I mean, my jaw was on the floor when Nathan Hill told us in the first hour, like that track Breaking Waves, those you know, those aren't live acoustic drums.

9:57 Speaker 1: I was like, what, you know, it's really amazing. So but but you but so you actually play the drums and guitar. Yeah, you play, and you play keyboard too, right I assume.

10:08 Speaker 4: I dabble, Yeah, I I have, you know, some skills with that, but I'm not like a piano player.

10:14 Speaker 1: I know, I know we talked about it before, but it was at least a couple of years ago. Now what was your first instrument?

10:19 Speaker 2: Bass?

10:20 Speaker 1: You started on bass, okay, bassis, and then guitar probably or.

10:25 Speaker 2: Yeah, guitar definitely followed after that.

10:27 Speaker 4: It's like once you get the first root notes of the bass that you start doing the chords.

10:31 Speaker 2: It's like graduating next yeah, yeah, level of uh, let's learn to how to play instruments.

10:38 Speaker 1: Yeah for me. For me, it was the opposite because I started out on guitar when I was a kid. I took guitar lessons, but I was very undisciplined. I hate this about myself, but I was one of those I'm a very motivated person as an adult, but growing up, I was one of those lazy kids who if I wasn't good at something right away, I'd get bored and frustrated. And then in high school I picked up a bass and and I was I know BASSA when I say this, but I have to speak my truth. I picked up a bass in high school and I was like, oh, two less strings and I don't have to know any chords.

11:07 Speaker 1: I think I found my instrument. Yeah, it turned out I did, because I you know, I ended up playing in a bunch of bands, and you know, I'm not a bad bass player. But that's awesome, But that was kind of but that was kind of my path. And then did drums come? So did drums come much later to you? Because I feel like too most musicians I meet who play several instruments, including drums, it's like drums ends up being kind of the last thing they learn. Is that?

11:28 Speaker 2: Is that the case with you or I guess I was like a fake drummer for a while.

11:33 Speaker 4: Yeah, in the sense of my older brother's band would practice in the basement and I lived in the basement as well. Yeah, there was a drum set down there. Oh and that's convenient, so.

11:47 Speaker 2: Like I would hash it out. Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean.

11:50 Speaker 4: But I do have feel, and I knew I had feel, and I picked it up like pretty much.

11:55 Speaker 2: I just taught myself it.

11:56 Speaker 1: Yeah.

11:57 Speaker 4: And then when I was it's funny because you were saying you took it are lessons. I was a music teacher and I had students like you, Oh yeah, yeah, who just went you know. But what we did, what I found that they were losing interest. We would what was cool when I had lessons? I had a drum set in my room. Yeah, lessons, so we would I would just be like, all right, you don't want to look at this paper, play these notes?

12:21 Speaker 2: All right? What are you going to do with this beat? Bro?

12:24 Speaker 4: And then he would be like I don't know, and like all of a sudden, they're playing and they're like, oh, I'm just foul.

12:30 Speaker 2: You know what I mean?

12:31 Speaker 4: You gotta grab them, like, if you're losing attention, maybe figure out a way to get them more interested.

12:39 Speaker 2: Yeah.

12:39 Speaker 1: I wish someone had done that with me. I think with me they were more like.

12:44 Speaker 4: Because you got it, probably got a guitar guy and guitar and I'm just like, hey, we can do a bunch of things.

12:50 Speaker 2: How am I going to get you to play right?

12:52 Speaker 1: Right?

12:52 Speaker 5: Yeah?

12:52 Speaker 2: How am I gonna get you to come back and want to learn? Yeah? I want to grow with that. Yeah.

12:57 Speaker 1: I had instructors who I think were more uh, I don't know if apathetic is the word, but you know they weren't that invested in me.

13:05 Speaker 2: I know, I guess not Hey, but you turned out all right?

13:09 Speaker 1: I know I turned out all right, I guess, but you know I ended up ended up being an okay bass player.

13:16 Speaker 2: That's awesome win win in my book, No not playing.

13:20 Speaker 1: But I always I've always admired people who can do like what you do where you you you're doing all of this, You're you're creating all of this and on your on your more sort of mainstream you know, not not instrumentals, but some of the music that you've released. Are you doing everything on those as well?

13:39 Speaker 4: Like yeah, yeah, usually, but I do all the foundation work, like I produce it, I record it, I engineer and mix it whatever. But I also bring in people to play on things to add what you know, I have great musician friends that I rely on, yeah, that play with me, you know, for years and have amazing connections with that. And I keep it in the house. I keep everything in house, and I keep it's all self sufficient. I could do whatever I want and I like it, and I just that's that's all it matters to me.

14:12 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean, which is nice, right because I too. I remember too we talked about before your history in a band and how that turned out and everything and to be able to do everything yourself, if I remember correctly from a previous conversation. Wasn't that a big motivation for you in terms of being able to get to a point where you could do everything yourself. Was your previous experience with a band.

14:32 Speaker 4: Always Yeah, it's just like when you deal with other people and the mishaps that happen, and so you just want to take control of your thing, ye like, yeah, cut everyone out, all the middle men, you know what I mean. And I just took the long route, and I just I would rather that. I still would to this day, Like I mean, it's just all about making making the art that means you know something to you like, yeah, that's all it.

15:02 Speaker 1: Matters, exactly exactly we had talked about off air. So for those of you watching online, of course you can see. But for those listening, Kenny does have his guitar with him. Now, there's a particular song you have that Jenny loves and she plays it all the time. I hear it all the time at home. A song that you release, it has a unfortunately, in the course, it has a bad word, so we can't play it. We can't play it on the air, the studio track as it was, as it will, I guess I can say it. Don't f this thing up, you know.

15:37 Speaker 1: And usually if I really want to play something on the show, I'll make a radio edit of it where I just take where the where the word is that's a problem, and I do I call it a poor man's radio edit. I just reverse it. But I never attempted to do that with that song because I felt like with that song it would have actually ruined it. You know, like if somebody has a song with one you know s word, you know, you just you just reverse it in it becomes ish, you know. But I felt I felt it would ruin the song.

16:04 Speaker 1: But we were talking off air, you said you could replace that word and maybe play that live. Yeah, a self edited version of it, which I would love to hear. I think the audience would love and I know and I know Jenny would love to hear it because she absolutely.

16:17 Speaker 4: Loves I gotta you know, if Jen's listened to that, I got not many people are, so I gotta you know, I gotta give credit. No, it's it's I gotta play it for you know what I mean, Like it is a great song.

16:31 Speaker 1: Yeah, so so got.

16:36 Speaker 2: To change the word.

16:36 Speaker 4: Though We're not going to use the subject a different word like broccoli or anything. We're gonna write so many syllables there to find the right So I think I think we came.

16:47 Speaker 2: Up with one.

16:48 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I think we we came up with the ideal word and uh yeah, if if you're if you're willing to give it a go, and you know, we are on an eight second delay, so if the worst happens and you forget, I can catch it.

16:59 Speaker 2: But that's cool. I won't.

17:01 Speaker 1: But I don't think. Yeah, you're you're a pro. I'm very fresher. I don't think he'll have a I don't think you'll have an issue. So yeah, if you're open to if you're open to playing that, we'd love to hear it.

17:10 Speaker 2: Ye. Yeah, if you want me to do it right now, that would be great. Yeah.

17:13 Speaker 1: Yeah, we talked it up. So if you are just joining us, Kenny Troon is here with us, live in studio, and he's going to play something for us.

21:15 Speaker 4: Time I think I've actually performed no kidding, I've got it in practices. Like It's funny because we the least show I did, we practiced it like the show.

21:27 Speaker 2: We didn't play it.

21:28 Speaker 4: That's always like, you know, I have a list on a napkin maybe the day and we're like, but never got to play it.

21:49 Speaker 1: That is awesome.

21:50 Speaker 2: Now I know how now I can say.

21:53 Speaker 1: That's that's true.

21:54 Speaker 3: You can.

21:56 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely. Kenny Truon is here with us. Should we talk about the new You also sent us another studio track and I did, and this is going to be a world premiere, correct.

22:06 Speaker 2: World world premiere. Yeah, I don't think I've.

22:09 Speaker 4: I kind of like I mixed it. The new record I've been working on for about a little over a year, not like every day on it, but like I've had maybe it was it January twenty twenty three or January twenty twenty four. I started it okay, and it's about done, I guess because I mixed it, and on the way here I listened to it and I was like, oh, wow, I think it's there. Yeah, because sometimes when i'm mixing it, I'm over and over. I'm hearing it and I'm like liking it, and I'm not liking it. I'm nitpicking it and I'm just like all right, And I left it alone for a while.

22:44 Speaker 4: But I listened to it on the way here and I'm very hyped about it. Actually, yeah, yeah, should we give this a spin and then we'll Yeah, this song is called house Spider. Yeah, and it's off my new album Pearls that's going to be coming out. Oh, very cool, very cool, no date.

23:01 Speaker 2: Yet, but here's the test of the waters.

23:04 Speaker 1: I'll give it the I'll play the world premiere bumper and everything. I have a cool world premiere bumper. I don't know how cool it is. I like it, but I'm a nerd that way. And then and then we'll play the track and then we'll come back and talk about it, and we'll talk about the new album and all of it. But if you are just joining us, Kenny True is here with us live in studio, and it's time for the This is the World radio premiere. This is called House Spider World Premiere.

23:37 Speaker 8: It just gooding way. Now let's lay lunching back, no.

25:11 Speaker 5: What is he that I was walking the road and it's traveled like an outside signed about.

25:21 Speaker 8: To walk in this road from what feels like for miles.

25:25 Speaker 6: Now let's just stop it.

25:26 Speaker 5: The Joe have to walk in the stroll and make no selling weapons kind of go because in the end we all phone the rope be Turnbull's just exist, the Chilby Xpire, Cotic c sim good Die.

25:44 Speaker 3: Young, Muzzy yeady.

25:52 Speaker 8: It's just cuting way and now let's to lay looking back.

26:00 Speaker 12: No shoe bags, so many things left.

26:26 Speaker 8: Shot shot was old.

26:36 Speaker 1: Oh, very cool, very cool. That is House Spider. That is Kenny Truon who is here with us live in a studio. And now that is from the upcoming album Pearls.

26:46 Speaker 2: Is that Pearls?

26:47 Speaker 4: Yes, all right, tell us about that. Yeah, this this album is a special one. I don't know, just been it just it just feels different. I made a lot of the songs and uh was it one weekend by myself, like the structure of them. And then my boy Chris Pachanka came.

27:11 Speaker 2: Up and we tracked his guitars okay.

27:15 Speaker 4: And then my boy Evan came up and we tracked his bass at different times like all because you know, it's hard to get everyone together. I'm from New York, yeah, and I live in New Hampshire, so we have lives, jobs, but we make it work when when we can, and it's and then Josh came in. He has keys on the album, and then I had the brothers Nylon do strings on the album.

27:41 Speaker 1: Oh that's right, I remember we talked about them.

27:42 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, and.

27:45 Speaker 4: It's yeah, I just building this big theater piece almost. It feels like a movie to me.

27:53 Speaker 1: That track has that vibe definitely. Yeah.

27:55 Speaker 4: Yeah, And uh, you know, I don't I don't really know where it all comes from, but like it came from a weekend of me house sitting for my parents watching the animals and I was alone for the weekend, and the whole album just came out. I was just recording you know, not Stop and how Spider came out and a bunch of other songs, and it's just been building from there. And yeah, I mean kind of like really, I like, I release a lot of music under different things almost, yeah, just kind of like it just comes out of me and I'm posting and whatever.

28:31 Speaker 4: But I've been holding this one back really, you know what I mean, because it is a little different. It's that my baby's out in the world now, kind of like I never really sides of people that.

28:41 Speaker 2: Were working on it with me have heard it. Yeah, but I don't know.

28:45 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's a lot put into it, a lot of good content that I'm talking about and like, it's all real stuff and I think is something we need and I'm very proud of it and I can't wait for people to hear more of it. I hope people are excited. Yeah, you guys are excited.

29:07 Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely. So when is When is it out?

29:10 Speaker 2: I have no date for it. Oh, it it's done, Like but but I'm leaving breadcrumbs. I'm like, yeah, I don't need to put it out.

29:16 Speaker 4: I could, I could hold it back, but I want to make sure that I have really good visuals for it.

29:22 Speaker 1: Yeah.

29:22 Speaker 2: I don't want to just put it out and have it be overlooked.

29:24 Speaker 1: Right, that makes sense, you know.

29:26 Speaker 4: So I'm taking my time with it. And yeah, so maybe if there's some people want to hear more.

29:33 Speaker 2: Hype, prove it to me.

29:35 Speaker 1: Yeah.

29:35 Speaker 4: Yeah, that makes you know what I mean, Like, it makes I want to see if people want to hear more. Otherwise I'm just going to go on my timeline.

29:41 Speaker 2: Right right, you know what I mean?

29:43 Speaker 1: Yeah? No, that makes sense. You know, you got to do it right. And and I think that's something that a lot of musicians don't think about, is is really you know, you don't I mean, it depends on what your goals are, too, But so I I yeah, so there's nothing wrong with saying, Okay, I'm just gonna records and put it out, throw it out there and see what happens and see if people like it or not or whatever.

30:04 Speaker 2: But do it all the time.

30:05 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but I think. But I think also too, like it probably doesn't occur to a lot of people that you know, maybe maybe you want to be a little more deliberate about how you approach it and really kind of think it through so that you can you can set it up for you know, you want to set it up for success. You want to make sure you reach the largest audience possible with it, and that's going to require a little more for a thought, you know. But it depends on what your goals are and how serious you are about it.

30:28 Speaker 1: And it sounds like you're pretty serious about this one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, which is cool.

30:32 Speaker 4: A certain art needs to be you know, handled with care, like absolute I'm trying to say something here, like not not in the sense of like right now, I'm trying to say something to this right right now, but like like I want you to digest it, you know, visually yeah, and auditorially and you know, I don't know.

30:55 Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe I'm overthinking it, but it's it's important to me. Yeah, that's yeah, I gotta follow that.

31:02 Speaker 1: Yeah. You know how many tracks it is?

31:06 Speaker 2: Eight eighty eight tracks.

31:08 Speaker 1: Yeah.

31:08 Speaker 4: The ninth is a outro track with no vocals, but it's yeah, it's eight songs.

31:15 Speaker 1: Yeah, cool, cool? Uh do you want to play another live one for us?

31:19 Speaker 2: Yeah? I could, Uh, let me try to do something.

31:23 Speaker 1: If you're just joining us. Any true is here with us live in studio, and he did bring his guitar and we love to hear him play live.

31:28 Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't.

31:29 Speaker 4: I never plan what what I'm gonna do, but I had to had to do that one for you. Yeah, Okay, I'm gonna try this. I released this song a month ago. It's called it Elated.

31:41 Speaker 2: Okay, so I'm gonna try this song all right?

31:56 Speaker 7: That you look into the mirror every day, No see you notice something that hand changed?
