Bain & Sugars talk to our friend, musician and sound engineer, Rafael Ricardo Lopez Sanchez, about his career in the music industry in Europe, as well as about his start in music, the bass violin, and sound engineering. We go from Rafael's origins in Venezuela, move on to his experiences of sound engineering in studios and on live concerts in Barcelona and all across Europe, and also of running studios and a music label in Barcelona. We talk about recording and listening to music in different kinds of spaces, about some particularly great concerts Rafael got to experience, and a lot about the technicalities of recording sound, as well as the history of recording.https://discordianrecords.wordpress.com/https://discordianrecords.bandcamp.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwLc031nPyZitSEB1jBHsmwhttps://www.facebook.com/discordianrecords/ Hosted on Acast.

Bain & Sugars interview bee expert, Paul Page. Paul talked to us about his origins, what brought him to Asia, why he loves Chiang Mai in particular, his teaching of the Vietnamese martial art, Võ, and many things besides.But, bees are the main thing, and we learned more about bees in this hour and a half than you could hope to learn in a lifetime without meeting someone like Paul. For example, did you know that there are more than 20,000 species of bee, that some bees can recognize people's faces, and that bees are the only insect which it has been proved understand the concept of zero. It was as fun and informative as you could hope a conversation could be. Thanks Paul! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The main thing is Sugars quizzing Bain about musicians going solo, and specifically his own plans for becoming a largely solo artist in his music career.. with side notes of butter, cheese, salt and homemade bread.
