Interview: Eddie Trager (Take & Take) discusses new album, ‘Disillusion’

Back in 2016, Los Angeles muti-instrumentalist Eddie Trager began an unprecedented solo project called Take & Take, incorporating influence scopes based around prog rock and metal music, both classic and contemporary. On Friday, Trager finally unveiled his debut album, Disillusion, which realized its full potential thanks to the mixing efforts of Matt Bayles and mastering by Jens Borgen. From a thematic standpoint, the album centers around the unease and frustration, and ultimately, the clarity and maturity, gleaned from emotional growth. Through his reflections on past experiences, and the lessons he has learned over the years, it’s undoubtedly clear that Trager has grown.

Last week, in his very first interview for this project, Trager came on Music Existence to discuss his formative forays into learning instruments, beginning on a clean slate with Take & Take, and what he hopes that listeners will draw from the new album.

About Jake Kussmaul

I come from a family who is passionate about all things music. I learned to sing at an early age, and by 13, had my very own Fender Strat guitar. I tried my hardest at learning all that I could. Because I was born with cerebral palsy, I had to teach myself an adaptive playing style. I learned to write and record my own music, despite these difficulties. In college, I started making great use of my writing abilities by reviewing music, as well as copy editing. I guess it's best to stick with what you know, while welcoming a fair challenge at the same time.
