It\u2019s the current that drives his sophomore album <i>Nurture<\/i>, a collection of experimental pop songs that sounds at once joyous, frayed, otherworldly, and intimate, with Robinson confessing to a bruised ego and shattered self-confidence, wondering if he can press on. <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            Of course, he did, and he does, which is part of what made the record so moving \u2014 its very existence is a rebuke to the self-doubt contained in it, proof that there\u2019s power in persevering. But it also ends on a complicated note, with the uneasy beauty of \u201cTrying to Feel Alive.\u201d Over an instrumental that stutters to life with the stumbling grace of a newborn fawn, he meditates on the strange feeling of finally accomplishing your goals. \u201cYou climbed a mountain, are you satisfied?\u201d he sings. \u201cYou stand at the top \/ You already wanna do this one more time.\u201d <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-238609\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left image\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1440,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/PR_Retouch-6_znuizu\/is-porter-robinson-satisfied-interview-nurture-second-sky-2022.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_220,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/PR_Retouch-6_znuizu\/is-porter-robinson-satisfied-interview-nurture-second-sky-2022.jpg 220w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_300,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/PR_Retouch-6_znuizu\/is-porter-robinson-satisfied-interview-nurture-second-sky-2022.jpg 300w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/PR_Retouch-6_znuizu\/is-porter-robinson-satisfied-interview-nurture-second-sky-2022.jpg 400w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_600,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/PR_Retouch-6_znuizu\/is-porter-robinson-satisfied-interview-nurture-second-sky-2022.jpg 600w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_750,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/PR_Retouch-6_znuizu\/is-porter-robinson-satisfied-interview-nurture-second-sky-2022.jpg 750w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_840,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/PR_Retouch-6_znuizu\/is-porter-robinson-satisfied-interview-nurture-second-sky-2022.jpg 840w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_960,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/PR_Retouch-6_znuizu\/is-porter-robinson-satisfied-interview-nurture-second-sky-2022.jpg 960w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1260,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/PR_Retouch-6_znuizu\/is-porter-robinson-satisfied-interview-nurture-second-sky-2022.jpg 1260w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1800,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/PR_Retouch-6_znuizu\/is-porter-robinson-satisfied-interview-nurture-second-sky-2022.jpg 1800w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_2400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/PR_Retouch-6_znuizu\/is-porter-robinson-satisfied-interview-nurture-second-sky-2022.jpg 2400w,\" sizes=\"100vw\" alt=\"Is Porter Robinson satisfied?\"><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-238615\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>This line looms heavy as Robinson ponders what\u2019s next a year on from <i>Nurture<\/i>, an album that unquestionably supplanted <i>Worlds<\/i> as a document of his prodigious talents as an arranger and songwriter, capable of wringing heart-wrenching emotion from whatever sounds grab his ear at a given moment. It\u2019s a document of immense emotional maturity and a knack for making a version of pop music that feels lonely and desperate \u2014 but nevertheless alive. <\/p>\n<p>            So now there are new questions to answer. For example: How do you follow a record that lays bare just how hard it is to make a record? Robinson\u2019s answer is to keep going, keep trying new things. Right now that means preparing for his first-ever show with a full band, at his festival Second Sky \u2014 which takes place on October 29 in Oakland. As we talk, he\u2019s in Nashville, midway through a week of rehearsals that are supposed to last for eight hours a day but have been stretching even longer. Each day he\u2019s refining, reworking, and shaping the tracks from <i>Nurture<\/i> into new forms. It\u2019s hard work, but Robinson is bursting with optimism about a newly communal approach he can bring to his songs. These new arrangements, he says, are a way of putting the focus on the songs, but they also represent a new challenge and opportunity \u2014 another mountain to climb.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            As he prepares to head into another day of rehearsals, the bustle of the production bleeds in through the call, drum kits clatter, and doors slam. The space is buzzing with potential energy and so is Robinson, who describes the long days as \u201ctranscendent.\u201d Big questions loom about what\u2019s next, but for now, he\u2019s eager to keep moving forward. \u201cI&#8217;m waking up every morning with a smile on my face, so excited to come in and play music with other people,\u201d he says. \u201cIt&#8217;s something I&#8217;ve never done in my entire life.\u201d <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-238610\" class=\"content_block diptych triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div

because the thing I&#8217;ve done in the past was remixing my discography. I did it with the <i>Worlds<\/i> show and then again with the \u201cShelter\u201d show with Madeon, and then I did it again with Nurture. I totaled up the amount of edits I\u2019ve made for various versions of the Nurture live show and it was over two hours of stuff. <\/p>\n<p>            While that&#8217;s cool, I knew I had to update the show again this year for Second Sky, and I just felt like I hit a wall. It wasn&#8217;t new enough. I went to see a lot of live music this year, and the stuff that resonated with me were the shows where the songs were at the forefront. Where it was about the music more than anything else, where you could close your eyes and have an equally good experience because of the sense of vulnerability and intimacy and risk and everything that comes along with a true live performance.<\/p>\n<p>            <b>You&#8217;re in eight-hour rehearsals every day this week. What is the emotional experience of sitting down and working for eight hours straight, especially collaborating with a bunch of different people at once?<br \/>\n          <\/b><\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            It&#8217;s transcendent and really fun. It feels weird to give a wholly positive answer, but it&#8217;s the truth. It&#8217;s something I&#8217;ve never done in my entire life. I&#8217;ve never played at the same time as another person before. Eight hours is our goal, but we&#8217;ve been going past that, unfortunately. But it flies by because it feels so meaningful and so purposeful. With <i>Nurture<\/i>, I wanted to feel unmasked in front of everybody. I wanted to feel like I was putting myself on the line and, and being as honest as possible and being really willing to look uncool, to make mistakes, and to do something that not everyone would like. And I think this is just another step in that direction, where there are more points of failure, but there&#8217;s more potential for like this beautiful transcendent thing that humans can make through art when, when there&#8217;s risk involved. <\/p>\n<p>            I would watch videos of my show back and one thing that I felt created sometimes a bit of distance and didn&#8217;t feel right to me was the amount of filtering that I was doing to my voice. I&#8217;m getting rid of a lot of those effects in a lot of places. Sometimes I\u2019m having to alter the arrangements of the songs or having to alter the key of the songs to be able to sing them wholeheartedly. But it feels so good. It feels like the thing I was trying to do the whole time. That&#8217;s how I&#8217;m feeling about this band version of the show. It feels like the thing I was trying to do the whole time. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div

expressed a few things for me. It was sometimes a way of expressing an inner voice. Sometimes it was a way of showcasing the most scared parts of myself.

I&#8217;ve re-edited this song 10 times before, how on Earth can I find a new angle to look at this through?\u201d And the thing that made that click was the idea of really performing everything live and performing it with a band. I think sometimes my perception of the songs that I play does get distorted the more I play them live. Sometimes in good ways, but sometimes in bad ways. Like, I had been cutting this song called \u201cTrying to Feel Alive,\u201d which is the last song on the record. I had not been playing it at festivals for reasons that I think were not the best. <\/p>\n<p>            When you&#8217;re standing in a crowd and you&#8217;re looking at a stage with lights and video and an artist performing up there, it looks so robust and full and it looks like this immersive world. But when you&#8217;re standing on stage and you&#8217;re looking at a crowd, you feel fucking naked. You feel so exposed, and you feel most comfortable when you see the crowd do something like jump or put their hands up. And for songs that are softer or that put people in their heads or in their hearts a little bit more, it&#8217;s hard to tell when it&#8217;s connecting. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div

to Feel Alive\u201d was worth sharing again?<br \/><\/b><br \/>After playing <i>Nurture<\/i> at all these festivals and playing the album so much, I just went back and re-listened to the album, to try to reconnect with what the meanings that I wanted to convey were, and how those meanings ought to be spread out throughout the tracklist of the show. What feelings do I want people to leave with beyond \u201cI had a good time?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>            I feel like such a fool for cutting \u201cTrying to Feel Alive\u201d for as long as I did. It makes me feel like nothing else. It&#8217;s this reflection on all of the motifs of the album, about trying to satisfy yourself through achievement and trying to derive some meaning through this constant climbing of mountains that we do. When I wrote \u201cTrying to Feel Alive,\u201d I was struggling the entire time, and also not feeling that much better than I did before. Like, \u201cI have this whole album done, and yet I&#8217;m still not deeply satisfied in the way that I thought I would be. So, what&#8217;s the point of all this?\u201d It was really scary for me to consider the possibility that for this whole album, I&#8217;m telling people, \u201cIf you achieve your dreams and if you make the thing you wanna make, and if you express yourself fully through creativity, that&#8217;s the path forward.\u201d And then I&#8217;ve done it for like the third time in my life and I&#8217;m still somehow not learning this lesson that I&#8217;m not gonna be satisfied.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            The thesis of that song is basically that like, \u201cof course you&#8217;re not gonna be fucking satisfied.\u201d You wouldn&#8217;t want to be. Even though it&#8217;s painful, I love climbing these mountains and I want to find new ones to climb. And it&#8217;s not about being satisfied or proving yourself or thinking that you did it or thinking that you&#8217;re finally good now. I really, really thought that if I released an album that got positive critical reviews, that I was gonna feel better about myself. I really thought that.<\/p>\n<p>            And that&#8217;s just not reality. It&#8217;s also a bad reason to do stuff. I love the struggle. I love having to fight to prove myself again and again and again. It&#8217;s painful, but that&#8217;s the human experience \u2014 this really beautiful, meaningful, worthwhile journey to just fucking try as hard as you can. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"content_block flush image\" id=\"content_block-238613\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1440,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/PR_Retouch-11_lci8dy\/is-porter-robinson-satisfied-interview-nurture-second-sky-2022.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_220,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/PR_Retouch-11_lci8dy\/is-porter-robinson-satisfied-interview-nurture-second-sky-2022.jpg 220w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_300,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/PR_Retouch-11_lci8dy\/is-porter-robinson-satisfied-interview-nurture-second-sky-2022.jpg 300w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/PR_Retouch-11_lci8dy\/is-porter-robinson-satisfied-interview-nurture-second-sky-2022.jpg 400w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_600,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/PR_Retouch-11_lci8dy\/is-porter-robinson-satisfied-interview-nurture-second-sky-2022.jpg 600w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_750,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/PR_Retouch-11_lci8dy\/is-porter-robinson-satisfied-interview-nurture-second-sky-2022.jpg 750w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_840,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/PR_Retouch-11_lci8dy\/is-porter-robinson-satisfied-interview-nurture-second-sky-2022.jpg 840w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_960,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/PR_Retouch-11_lci8dy\/is-porter-robinson-satisfied-interview-nurture-second-sky-2022.jpg 960w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1260,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/PR_Retouch-11_lci8dy\/is-porter-robinson-satisfied-interview-nurture-second-sky-2022.jpg 1260w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1800,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/PR_Retouch-11_lci8dy\/is-porter-robinson-satisfied-interview-nurture-second-sky-2022.jpg 1800w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_2400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/PR_Retouch-11_lci8dy\/is-porter-robinson-satisfied-interview-nurture-second-sky-2022.jpg 2400w,\" sizes=\"100vw\" alt=\"Is Porter Robinson satisfied?\"><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-238607\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>            <b>As you look into the expanse of what&#8217;s next, what\u2019s the feeling that\u2019s pushing you forward?<br \/><\/b><br \/>Well, it&#8217;s the same thing that has always been, which is that I keep living life and I keep getting new perspectives and meeting new people and hearing new albums and watching new <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a> and things like that. And realizing that there&#8217;s beauty in places that I didn&#8217;t see before and needing badly to express a piece of that. The essence of what I&#8217;m trying to do with music is write this love letter to life and to living. And the amazing thing about living for me has been that it doesn&#8217;t run out. Life is abundant. I&#8217;m trying to express this in the least esoteric way that I can. So that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m slowing down here. Cause I don&#8217;t want to say this in a way that&#8217;s like alienating or sounds like I&#8217;m on mushrooms.<\/p>\n<p>            There&#8217;s so much of everything to be experienced. That&#8217;s the thing that drives me. Just by living, I continually run into new things that I think are amazing and worth expressing. And then I\u2019ve just got to express those things. I have no choice but to try to find a way. <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">Colin Joyce<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
