interview
DICHOTIC
1. When and how did Dichotic form?
Jake: Dichotic has existed since 2001 having various member changes until December of 2005 - a new
Dichotic was born.
2. You have a unique sound, but flares of classic metal can still be heard. Were bands such as Pantara,
Metallica, Black Sabbath, and Iron maiden some of your influences?
Everyone: Yes those influences do stand out and are near the top of our influences. Though everyone
in the band has their own unique tastes that they bring to the group for instance....
Jester: I'm into Lamb of God, Snot, and Neurosis.
Aaron: I have a heavy taste of classic rock like Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin, and Captain Beyond.
Bronz: My influences come from European roots such as Scorpions, Pretty Maids, and Helloween.
Jake: I inject flavors of In Flames, Iced Earth, and Dream Theater.
Ace: I bring the power metal and battle metal side of music with influences of Symphony X, Crown
the Lost, Nevermore, Shadows Fall, Kreator.
Aaron adds: Essentially, Dichotic maintains an eclectic taste in music that fuels the Dichotic sound
from all over the musical spectrum.
3.The name Dichotic is very interesting name and does fit the band, how and why did you choose it
for the band?
Jake: The name came about after having 3 different weeks of changing names and getting calls from
other bands claiming the names we've chosen. At one point we were Fear Not - until we continually
received emails from people assuming we were a christian metal band. So I sat down at a table with
my mom's dictionary, and started on the letter "A".... Eventually ending on Dichotic.
(THE MEANING)
dich·otic
Pronunciation: (')dI-'kOt-ik
Function: adjective
: relating to or involving the presentation of a stimulus to one ear that differs in some respect (as
pitch, loudness, frequency, or energy) from a stimulus presented to the other ear .. —dich·oti·cal·ly /-
i-k(&-)lE/ adverb
4. in your opinion who are some of the great musicians of your instruments?
Bronz: For me I would have to say Chris Squire, being the first bass player that I admired. Also Billy
Sheehan (Ex-Talas), Steve Harris of Iron Maiden. And I can't leave out Geezer Butler (Black
Sabbath) and Roger Glover of Deep Purple. And if I didn't mention Cliff Burton, I wouldn't be able
to sleep at night...
Jake: I'd have to say Vinnie Paul right off the bat. Some others are Carmine Appice, Mike Portnoy,
and John Tempesta. Oh, can NOT forget Alex Van Halen - Hot For Teacher.
Aaron: Definitely Dimebag Darrel, Alvin Lee, Michael Schenker, Zakk Wilde, and David Gilmore.
Ace: Man I hate this freakin question but Hendrix, SRV, Paul Gilbert, Yngwie Malmsteen, Stu
Dowling, Allen Holdsworth, John McLaughlin Billy Gibbons and a shit load of axeman we've never
even heard of.
Jester: I'd say Phil Anselmo, just cuz... he's the shit. Also Randy Blithe and Lyn Straight.
We all agree that it's really tough to just name a few. So many influential musicians are out there in
the world and we really do take a little bit from all over the place.
5. Does touring put stress on any other parts of your life away from Dichotic or relations within the
band its self?
Everyone: Absolutely. We all make our own sacrifices to the band and to make it in the band, it's
something we all have to do. We all have our home lives with girlfriends, wives, kids, and work.
6. Before a show, what feelings do you have I.e. nervousness or excitement?
Jake: Personally, yeah I always have butterflies before a show. I just have to take that feeling and
turn it into a positive energy for the show.
Aaron: I don't get butterflies man, I get charged and want to get out there and start some rowdy shit!
Ace: Fuck man, I always get a tingle. Wanting to make sure everything is right from plugging in to the
sound I produce on stage. You want to do well and here I am with my bros on stage and want to tear
it up!
Bronz: I'm not a fear based person as far as getting on stage having been on stage for the number of
years that I have. I do have my adrenaline rush to get animated on stage and put on the best possible
show.
Jester: Nervous? Yeah. It all changes once that first note hits. Then it's pure adrenaline and
excitement.
7. Any up coming albums or particular shows that you want to mention?
Everyone: We got The Deepest Rise album coming out mid-2008. We'll be hitting the side stage for
Gigantour on May 7th in Milwaukee at The Rave. Another show we're really pumped about is Steel
Bridge SongFest - June 12-14, 2008 in Sturgeon Bay. Over 100 bands across 15 stages! You got to
love that shit! Dichotic's hosting the Hard Rock stage all three nights!
8. Where can fans get a hold or you music and MERCH?
Everyone: We don't have any full on merch as of yet. Though some is available at www. CafePress.
com/dichotic. There are plans in the works for getting some merch prepared and ready for sale at
upcoming shows.
9. This question is for: Aaron Fischer, Andre “Ace” Rose, and Bronz Cory Robinson
Do you remember the first guitar you ever had, and or the guitar you learned to play on?
Aaron: Yep! The first guitar I ever played on was like probably a late 50's Silver Tone my dad had in
the closet. It was stripped a part and really seemed like a piece of shit. The bridge was propped up
with pennies to make it work right. The first guitar I ever owned is a Ibanez RG560, which I've just
taken out of the closet just last week to use again.
Ace: First guitar for me - a broomstick with the 'ol bristles stickin out! I'd be in my room pretending,
man. After hearing Hendrix's "Rainbow Bridge," I convinced my father to get my first axe from a
local pawn shop. "Room Full of Mirrors" did it for me!
Bronz: Back in ''78.... I played air guitar or tennis racket to Kiss and Ted Nugent albums. Then at a
local music store I graduated to a Kay "Sears" Fender precision bass copy for $90. Which I played
every note on one string with one finger. Then I picked up a Gibson Ripper bass, because I liked
Gene Simmons from Kiss so much and wanted to be him growing up. I've been through well over 50
basses since then.
10. How long have you all been playing your instruments?
Aaron: I come from a very musical family and have been playing some kind of instrument since very
young. I started on guitar mainly since 10 years old. Playing alone at night so nobody would hear me
screwing up.
Ace: On and off since I was about 13. I got real serious at around 22 years old.
Jester: I've been singing for around 10 years now.
Bronz: Since I was 15. I played tuba in marching band and my band teacher told me if I picked up the
electric bass, he'd up my grade one whole grade. And after seeing my first live show, Blue Oyster
Cult, that's what sealed the deal for me. And I decided from then I wanted to be a bass player playing
on stages for the masses.
Jake: I guess technically I started around 2 years old bangin' on pots n' pans in mom's kitchen. I got
serious when I hit 12 playing on a real kit and just loved it.
11. Where any of you apart of any other bands before forming Dichotic?
Aaron: Well, Jake and I were both in Cryptic at one point. The first band I was in and started. I've
been in many bands since then such as Benzona.
Ace: Starting as a bassist, my first was a Top 40's band in Japan. Later, I co-started a band called
Full Moon for a few years, then me and the lead guitar player broke off and formed Metal Arsenal.
After touring the L.A. scene for 5 years, I took a long time off to switched to guitar. Dichotic is
actually the first band I play guitar in.
Jester: Victims of the American Dream, which I'm still singing for when not working with Dichotic. I
also do some techno in addition to singing with the bands.
Bronz: I've only been in four original bands including Dichotic. Although I've been in well over 50
bands in my musical career. And also enjoyed hosting an open jam for nearly 10 years in Green Bay
playing cover songs.
Jake: Yeah like Aaron said, Cryptic was my first band. I was also in the Electric Hellfire Club on
their Witness The Millennium album. I played around in various bands but nothing steady. A couple
of bands were Something Wicked, Fear Not, and Blackout. And now in Dichotic since we formed it.
12. Who are some modern bands of mainstream music that you like?
Aaron: Mainstream music is a stupid fucking term and I hate it all. As for as music that I DO like,
mainstream or not, I think Opeth is kicking ass. I think The absence is good. Deathklock, Corpse
Maggot and Deathball are some other great bands I'm into.
Bronz: I like underground bands and obscurity. Black metal bands mostly. I listen to Dead Can
Dance, Lycia, and other Gothic type bands. I really stress listening to melodic music and Trivium is
one of my favorite bands that I listen to now.
Ace: I hate the word mainstream! It reminds me of AOR or some shit. I like a lot of stuff but
currently have SOME of the following in my CD changer: Racer X, Crown the Lost, Symphony X,
Kreator and other stuff. A shit load of local talent and "Myspace Bands" kick-ass as well. Winter
Children and Liquid Steel are my favorite local acts at the moment.
Jester: Mainstream music huh? I listen to a lot of different shit from metal to drum and bass. Into hip
hop and stuff like that. I guess for metal I'd say Gojira, Neurosis, and Divine Heresy. Also I'm
listening to Isis and Bolt Thrower.
Jake: I think this band deserves an honorable mention - After Forever.
13. What is Dichotic all about and what is the main message you want to get across to your fans?
Jester: As far as a message... a lot of our music has to do with personal experiences. Not just mine,
but from everyone. And with the music, take from it what you want. Just give it a listen and see
what you think.
Aaron: My personal view is heavy metal is kick ass. And people need to experience that and I want
to show them that there's a lot more to it than screaming vocals. The reason that I say that is that
with Dichotic, you get many different messages and people can take a lot from it. It's not superficial
music.
Bronz: I think it's important to have a release from the everyday strife of living. It's great that you
can come to a Dichotic show and get your aggression out and not having to worry about the bullshit
of your job, family, and society.
Ace: Aaron hit the bullseye!
14. Is there anyone you would like to thank?
Everyone: We'd like to thank our management for doing such a top notch job. Family and friends for
coming out to see us. Of course all our fans, that goes without saying. People like Skyler (for taking 4
stitches to the face in the name of Dichotic. Also, Eg's, Matto, Butch's Bar, Psycho Drive Studios,
Club Toxic and Beto, Madhouse Music for always being there after hours when we are in a pinch.
And to all the other bands helping us along the way sharing the stage. Polly for the logo design. Man
there's just so many people out there and it's impossible to name them all. So thank you to everyone
we didn't mention! You know who you are, and SO DO WE!
A big thank you to everyone who's believed in us and giving us a shot allowing us to do what we do!

the music. A guy jumps on stage and dives off into the crowd, and falls on the floor,
he rises to his feet with those he took down with him and keeps on rocking. Scotts
growling voice amps the crowd he feeds off there energy and he of theirs. A kid not
