Video: Commodity Creature Plays Heavy Metal Tuba

Posted: by The Editor

 
When you think of heavy metal music, some typical motifs probably come to mind: super-distorted rhythmic guitars, subterranean bass, booming drums, you know the drill. But what if you could make heavy metal music with a tuba?
 
That’s what Denver-based artist Alex White, aka Commodity Creature, has been doing in his latest musical projects. In this video interview, The Alt video editor Molly Mary O’Brien talks to Alex about his tech setup that turns a tuba into a programmable instrument, his tuba-related tribute to Napalm Death, and how his background in classical music has turned into an extremely interesting experimental music career.
