Harrison Mills and Clayton Knight, the guys behind Odesza, stopped by r/electronicmusic yesterday for an insightful Reddit AMA!
Riding the waves of their new album A Moment Apart and accompanying tour, the electronic duo is definitely thriving in the electronic music scene. Odesza also has plans to work on growing their label, collaborating with new artists, and creating an entirely immersive experience for fans who see them on tour.
Harrison and Clay shared: “we’ll be continuously adding new edits and pieces to the show.”
The producers talked about their favorite festival, their dreams of scoring a film, and perhaps most importantly the meaning behind the Odesza logo, and the thought behind the entire project.
“The Icosahedron represents all the different genres and styles we incorporate into our sound and bring together into a cohesive track/album. This is represented by these different pieces coming together to build an iconic shape,” Odesza explained.
