04: David Schellenberg of Tunic on life and A Harmony of Loss

Esplicito

I tracked down David Schellenberg after listening to the new record of his band Tunic, A Harmony of Loss Has Been Sung. Listening to the album was an intense experience and a pleasure for me. I liked listening to this record in my car the best, surrounded by the dark tones, the grief and pain in the lyrics, and the absolutely stunning composition of instruments, dragging me into the depths of this loss. The deep bass, the wretched pain in Schellenberg's voice, wails of loss, and a cathartic expression through dissonant sounds and distorted guitars. The album is a gut punch, and it hurts so good.

We talk about the Winnipeg music scene, creating and growing as an artist, composition, communication, pain, and grief.
