You may know him for his soaring solo musical adventures or maybe you're old school and you were always down with his band The Invisible. Perhaps you've seen him playing with Amy WInehouse or Grace Jones. Perhaps you've heard his collaborations with Adele, Yoko Ono or Tony Allen? Perhaps you've not come across him yet, in which case I'm very happy to make the connection. I know him as a genuine, fascinating, generous and ultra simpatico friend that I see far too infrequently. There are few people I know that enjoy talking as much as Dave. He leads you into wild and wonderful places in his delightful and engaging explorations and I'm always keen to see where we might end up. In his presence, time seems to slow down and I find that deeply relaxing and very welcome. I often feel a tad in my head, or even headless but Dave brings a groundedness that is very settling. Those who know him have experienced his radiant smile and his tremendous, heart felt hugs. I feel very lucky to be friends with Dave. He's a real one of a kind and an absolute beast of a musician.I had the chance to get a sneak peak of his new LP and it's really mind blowing stuff. Just wait ! Ah yes. At long last, I'm so happy to welcome my friend on the show. Please welcome Dave Okumu Nitty 99 is an exploration of the Eventide H8000 and its excellent 4 part MIDI pitch shifter which appears to be the sound we know so well on the Bon Iver track 715 Creeks. I run all sorts of stuff into it and it's a delight! Can't believe this is my first time using it. Music for EP 99 comes from the rather excellent Botany! Superb. https://botany.bandcamp.com/album/deepak-verbera Still available for download is This EP FORUKRAINE performed by Rob Burger and sonically crafted by me all proceeds to the Ukrainian Redcross. Please consider a small donation :) I'd like to thanks Diana Walsh for her help prepping the interview audio @dmwalshmusic on the gram 🙂 PLEASE keep the music coming ! send submissions to [email protected] side orders: Dave mentions Elizabeth Fritsch pots and how he'd like to live in one. When you see them you'll understand why. She's an absolute master and channels such beauty in her work. link HERE

Mr maker of the odd circuits, Mr man with a vision to create a company from the ground up that dramatically changed the modular synth world forever, Mr maker of synth woven musics. Please welcome Mr Make Noise himself, Tony Rolando! We get into chatting about his excellent new album "Breakin' is a Memory" Which you can find here Come and delve into this new work and imagine where Tony's head is at. Making all these incredible instruments for us all make NOISE with whilst keeping his passion for the original motivation ---- the music making itself. He has the irresistible urge to create sound and frame these nocturnal excursions into an LP. He's made all this in his few free hours outside MN to stretch out and fashion a record, his way in his home studio. I'm really glad found space for this. It's a great result and this LP is a rich listen! We get into all the juicy inside knowledge about how it was made from Tony himself. What machines were used and how. The mindset, the techniques, it's all here! This chat is not an attempt to dive "Biographical". For that I highly recommend you listen to this interview that mylarmelodies conducted with Tony as it contains a quality insight into the Make Noise back story and Tony's history, philosophy and such. Fantastic listen! Click here In the nitty I crack out an early version of the Make Noise Strega which was a collab with Tony and pod guest Alessandro Cortini. Such a powerful and fun little box! I put it together with a Befaco Noise Plethora (which is a self contained sculpt-able noise bath of a module) and use my voice to populate three loops that don't care about one another. Like dogs, they all run free. Once you fill up these three, free loops, you can bounce them all to a virtual cassette deck alongside any input that might also be coming in to spin to tape. Once this new bounced recording stops, the 3 main loopers you used to make the 1st layer are emptied automatically and you can fill them once more and then bounce them to a 2nd tape deck until you reach the 3rd wave of loops that go to a final reel at which point you are all full up and need to delete either all or some of the parts you made to make room for new ideas. Birth and death is one of reasons to love looping. To know you must destroy to grow something fresh. So yes, I used the excellent Loopy Pro on an M1 iPad to build this looper with an Akai APC40 connected via a Hub the USB-C port on the iPad Pro. I was able to run signals to physical channels of a mixer using a class complaint audio interface with multiple outs. The whole idea behind this setup was to be as close to the moving parts as possible and to be able to reach all the controls extremely easily to manipulate all the important aspects that need to be influenced by hand as it's all a performance and this makes it somewhat like making food. For stir fry, you need your ingredients right there. If you have to drive to buy ginger in the middle of a cook its akin to needing to halt the flow to get a machine recorded right if not easily connected and playable. This is key. All the factors from sound tone shaping, to levels to FX they need to feel playable. Having used loopers as my way of expressing myself live since around 2000, I have a very strong connection to working in this way. I made my loopers in Max/MSP but I must say, Loopy pro is a wonderful tool to build custom live looping setups in 2022 using a tool like an iPad that has a superb touch interface is a bonus. It's all very welcome and I think it's really the best tool you will find to make a custom looper that allows more options than a Boss 505 or any other hardware unit. I will include the loopy pro patch I made for this nitty for all the members of the HOWA Patreon on the soul science level :) The music for EP98 comes from Raj Pannu. Really unique stuff I feel. He has a patient and detailed flow that bubbles along in an immersive bass aquarium with subtle motion charted throughout. It's like minimalism in the evolution of parts with a lot of sound pressure pushing and with a bold forward motion. Here's a link to some of Raj's music.

Holly Herndon is an American composer, musician, and sound artist based in Berlin Germany.After studying composition at Stanford University and completing her Ph.D. at Stanford University's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics, she pursued a music career internationally. Herndon's music often includes human singing voices (including her own), is primarily computer-based, and regularly uses the visual programming language Max/MSP to create custom instruments and vocal processes. She has released music on the labels RVNG International. and 4AD. Her most recent full-length album Proto was released on May 10, 2019 which was the first full length record to utilize singing neural networks. She's recently released a way to interact with her digital twin called Holly plus and as of now you can upload polyphonic material to her homepage and receive a version of your recording with Holly plus as the voice for all parts. She is well informed about the most modern issues relating to digital rights that go alongside ideas such as renting your voice as a virtual performance instrument, as opposed to the old school reliance on sampling. There's a complex array of legal challenges on the horizon and most of us are hip to the potential of very convincing deep fakes and such. Will we be able to download the voice of Bob Marley as a kind of VST style instrument ? It seems clear we will and that ownership of these voices is going to be crucial going forward to make the market a free and fair place. For those interested in the cutting edge, Holly is cohost of the podcast Interdependence which covers the people, projects and technologies shaping 21st century culture with a large focus on moving to web3. In the Nitty I return my piano to the renaissance by having it tuned to a 1/4 comma meantone temperament. I wanted to see how the equal temperament we know so well might stack up in a triadic battle against the old ways. It's pretty fascinating to me. I hope you'll get something out the of trip back to 1523 when the meantone would have been dominant.

It's a first here at HOWA. YES I've a returning guest ...... Si Bonobo ! He was here before on EP29 and now he's back to walk us deep into the making of his latest live show. It's an amazing spectacle, with a full band, ample electronics, guest vocalists, wonderful immersive visuals and a very ambitious, scalable delivery. Huge stuff! Was a treat to have him swing by my studio here in Nashville to share a coffee and have a good look into what REALLY makes such a superb show. Hope y'all enjoy :)

First of all please send music, comments and jokes to [email protected] and I'll check em :) Feel free to join the pod patreon for the best sounds and max patches in the known universe and all that! link HERE Let's get on with the show! Ive been lucky enough to work with Daniel on my album Compass (2010) where he overdubbed a stack of these double speed, beautiful burnt crystaline, shimmering pentatonic runs that wind their way through the song "completely exposed" I was working with Chris Taylor from the Band Grizzly bear which is how many of you will have doubtless discovered the magic of Mr Rossen's voice and song craft and what a craft it is! His style is so singular and he's got that passion in his writing and playing that sets him apart with an intricate, elegant touch on guitar that has both urgency and solidity. There's real fire in him and at the same time a soft vulnerability and it all races around in these huge landscapes he paints in sound. Amazingly this is his first LP and what a beauty it is. A Timeless beauty at that. It's called YOU BELONG THERE and was released a few days ago on APRIL 8 2022 on warp records. He's currently out there, SOLO on the road on a short US and Euro Tour. I saw him in Nashville and was mesmerized. What a talent he is. A humble soul also, with immense talent and a welcome dash of dry humour. HERE is a link to his webpage so you can see he's coming to your town :) so with all that said, please welcome to the show, the rather wonderful. Daniel Rossen _____________ This episode features music from 5 excellent contributors! Oort CLoud services: Runnershigh No CIty West Erez Rok Zalokar https://shop.naturescenerecords.com/ Thank you to Fabfilter for sponsoring this nitty episode! I get super deep into the world of Timeless 3, their absolute BEAST of a delay plugin. It can pitch shift, distort, lofi, reverberate and custom tap its way into your world. It's available for desktop AND ios and I've made a bunch rather sweet presets for it on my adventures with it that work on both platforms. SO killer. In the nitty I explore the idea of making evolving delay sequences using the excellent tap designer part of the plugin. Patreons get the presets of course ! some juicy ones based on my marshall time modulator! _____________ BONUS POD RECOMMENDATION! I was super excited to listen to the pod that mylarmelodies put out with James Blake HERE is the link. Some super insightful nuggets in there. I highly recommend you give it a listen if you've not already.

I feel like I've been very close to meeting Marta for sometime now. When I went to the Sonic Ranch and met Brad Cooke he was mentioning this amazing woman who was a tape whisperer and I was determined to meet her. She sounded like the coolest! I had also heard her name through the master of mastering, Heba Kadry and then she sounded even more like the coolest! I managed to get in touch with Marta and we started talking about this interview a long time ago. I almost thought it might not happen but here we are! Marta is a force. She's worked on some very special music and I think that's no coincidence. She brings a deep understanding and passion to everything she does and the extra care and analog workflow really makes a huge difference when she does it, expecially with the tape effects and treatments in full view. Love that! She's worked with Bjork, Animal Collective, M.I.A., Frank Ocean, FKA Twigs, Black Midi, Holly Hearndon and the list goes on and on! just much great work. At the MPG Awards, she won Breakthrough Engineer of the Year in 2018. !!!! We had such a lovely chat. So happy this one finally happened :) As a nod to Marta's tape passion, the nitty sees me hearing double as I delve into the delightful world of ADT. It was a technique invented by Ken Townsend in the Beatles era and it still sounds so juicy as an effect when performed with a real tape machine. Essentially you're layering 2 copies of a track with something that sounds very similar but different to the source. During my experiments, I came across maybe my fave treatment on a nitty. Just sublime!

my guest is Joe Gallagher ! I wanted to speak to him after I saw he was heavily involved in the making of the album Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan which is just such a great record. I was curious to hear how he works in this capacity and in general seeing as he's quite a private person and not super vocal on the socials etc. He's worked as an engineer on music by Kehlani, Ariana Grande, Kindness, Usher and much more. A humble badass. I hope you enjoy this chat. thanks once again to Diana Walsh for her help on the edit. I've been working with Rob Burger to make new music to share in order to raise money for the terrifying, escalating Ukraine situation. I'll be sure to alert you all when it's ready. I've been VERY busy with a hefty piece of max for live meets Touch OSC to control a rather excellent and dreamy pedal over MIDI. It's coming super soon for you all to check. Im very proud of it. I hope it'll be a new way to make sound for those of you that own the mystery pedal.. all shall be revealed VERY soon. My masterclass with Aulart is coming very soon. I hope you'll check it out! I really put my heart into it and it's like a bunch of really focused nitties on camera and some deep diving into my new song writing process that I think you'll find freeing! Here's the link to it. more LINKS: here's a link to a track from Jazmine Sullivan off the excellent Heaux Tales LP in our chat we get into DJ Shadow and the movie "Scratch" and in particular this scene (4 mins 20 in ) Shout out to ADDAC system ! they sent me the amazing 112 looper and grains module and I've been have so much fun with it. It's DEEP! Also I got some bridge units that allow CV to pass from one end of a big case to another. so so handy! Thanks to Distrokid for the kind sponsorship :) Get your music steaming in minutes!

Dustin O'Halloran is an American pianist and composer with five acclaimed solo albums under his own name. He released his first EP Sundoor with renowned classical musical label Deutsche Grammophon in 2019, and followed that up with his solo album Silfur in 2021. He's also a member of the band A Winged Victory for the Sullen with Adam Wiltzie, and they released their album The Undivided Five with Ninja Tune in 2019 and self-released their latest album Invisible Cities in 2021. He's the winner of a 2015 Emmy Award for his main title theme to Amazon's comedy drama Transparent (2014–2017), and was nominated for an Oscar, a Golden Globe, a BAFTA and a Critics Choice Award for his score to Lion (2016), written in collaboration with Volker Bertelmann (aka Hauschka). We get into many topics such as the old analog vs digital debat, habits at the piano, inner timing, the music of Hans Otte, the power of the ocean, icelandic breakfast, how to record the piano, working to picture and much more :) ________ In the nitty I recreate the magical oscillator offset that's found in the wonderful and soon to be legendary Yamaha CS70. It was inspired by this video of floating points in his studio, demonstrating this very thing. It's been a treat to remake in software and I run down how it was done. The most important piece of the puzzle was scaling the pitch wheel (actually 2 pitch wheels) to not be smooth but quantized to the intervals used in the CS70. To do this I used a Max for live device called "Bend Sequence" from Heaps of Bleeps. I really think this series is tremendous. I wasn't aware of his work but it's some great max programming and works so well. Here's the link to all his stuff :) _________ Music in this episode comes from BAPHONYM - from the LP STILLFACE which you can find here: https://mondegreensoho.bandcamp.com/album/stillface Please send your musical submissions to [email protected] I love to hear them! ____ Other links : Mylar Melodies deep dive into the Orchestron link here The music of Hans Otte link here ( this is not the album but rather a live performance)

hi Not a pod but a hallo. A Rrrrreally quick mind dump from me to you about my new LP and it's progress. It's the reason I've been absent from pod life for a while and I will be back soon but in the meantime I hope this goes someway to clarifying the butter of my world to you all. Hope you're funky !

Alex Bilo made the BTS mega smash hit Butter as part of a crack writing team. A song that spent weeks and weeks at the Billboard number 1 spot. Just huge. HUGE!

Stimming joins the pod for a hearty, autumnal, philosophical ramble which I found most fulfilling (actually we spoke in the summer but the falling leaves around here are turning my sense of time) He's been producing quality textural groovers for a long time and his new Album LUDWIG has just taken flight and he's certainly stretching himself to new astral spaces. Highly recommended! He says of this new album process: "I was making a living from dance music for such a long time, and during the last years I came to the point where I said to myself, 'man you are hiding so much of your own horizon" He's a funny and honest chap that has found his voice in the noisy world of house and "outer" house. The mastery of sound is spot on. Dynamic, patient, immerse, harmonically rich. Many adjectives apply :) Welcome to the pod Stimming! Nitty 89 is dedicated to maffez synthmods who is a wonderfully talented modder and builder in Austria who turned my RD8 into a WAY more interesting machine. This nitty is an attempt to SING drum patterns using audio loopers and envelope followers to create control tracks and it works rather well!

I was very happy to catch up with Erick Elliott aka Erick Arc Elliott or Erick the Architect, a Renaissance man par excellence. He's a prolific and talented musician and producer and is arguably best known for his work in his band Flatbush Zombies but as you will find out he's so much more than a musician at this point. He's not afraid to move into new and uncharted territory and I must admit it was his twitch channel (link here ) that made me an instant fan. It's so well done, his presence on the station is so infectious and the show runs like a wildly creative leap into a kaleidoscopic universe complete with tearaway videos, performances, downright silliness and you get the sense that this guy has an endless tap open on his creative stream. We get into all that. The music, the come-up, harnessing the strength of being different, how to deal with self doubt and to have the courage of your conviction. We get into his collabs with James Blake and much more. It gives me great pleasure to welcome on the show Erick the Architect. Link to his site here Nitty sees me hitting sustain on the voice and piano artificially using Melodyne. Good fun Music for the show comes from Fish Go Deep - This Bit of Earth https://fishgodeep.bandcamp.com/album/this-bit-of-earth Bonus links!

Who is that Ned? Well for one thing He is one of the very best players of the game of Ableton! A sharp witted and rooted fellow. He makes a lot of rather good, anarchic and playful music that can be found on his bandcamp under the name Rude_NHS look at titles like "flocks of pigeons making noises that sound like old women agreeing with each other" cheeky rascal! that's Ned but he's also got his seriousness and an absolute level of badassssssery that you hear in his youtube drops, the man knows how to play the ! out of a gtr and a key and a bass and a drum. He is well versed in "traditional" music as well as immersed in the new school digital possibilities. welcom!e yep NED RUSH for more info about this very talented man click here He was kind enough to share a very tasty ableton set of his for you all to check.

So great to catch up with my friend and old band mate Cristian Vogel on the show! The way I met Cristian was pretty unlikely and pretty fantastic I have to say. Basically back in around 1995 I was making music with Subhead alongside Jason Leach and Phil Wells and thanks to those guys I became aware of so much incredible music mostly from Detroit and Chicago but not exclusively as there were some wildcard artists that always caught my attention more than any others, none more so than the wonky magic conjured by Cristian Vogel. I had heard that he lived in Brighton. So I had this great idea to just go to there and meet him! I hopped on the train and went to an outdoor festival that was happening that day in the city and as I walked around the place I stumbled on a lone Tresor bag lying in the grass. I knew Cristian was signed to Tresor and so I asked the lady that was sat next to it if she was Christian's sister. She was his girlfriend ! I mean WHAT are the chances? I soon met big C and we formed a fast friendship based on mutual respect (he had played Subhead 002 at the love parade and it was a big moment ! Small world ) and I joined him sharing a space to make music in Brighton where it became immediately obvious to me his approach was something completely new to me. First of all I'd never seen anyone make music with a tracker and I understood quickly that with his experience and skill he wouldn't second-guess himself and instead would conjure his unique sound in minutes, tapping away wildly on his amiga keyboard. I realize I was in the presence of a truly unique musician and I owe him so much for all he showed me. He schooled me in the world of subtractive synthesis and taught me that it's possible to interact with machines on the same level people interact with traditional instruments. His approach was always Orthodox and his choice of equipment unfamiliar to most myself included. We formed a band called super_collider that really stretched our skills and the technology of the time. Listening back to our first album Head-on it really was quite an achievement considering what we had . By that time we moved into a more robust studio with Orbital as our neighbors but the DAW was still primitive and we would use programs like macromedia deck 2 to complete our songs. I think it was limited to 8 tracks. We pushed that shit to the brink dealing with so many crashes it's amazing we managed to finish anything. By 1999 I had moved To Berlin and shortly afterwards Cristian relocated to Barcelona. When we made our second album raw digits it was a tale of two cities and took considerable energy to complete. I had started to devote a lot of time to my solo career and super_collider sadly came to an end. Not just because of that but you know… things change. Cristian kept making amazing music of course and he's released a stack of incredible records and collaborations. At one point he created a band called "night of the brain" and kept making banging records for Tresor, Nova mute and his own Station 55 imprints to name a few. He also remixed Radiohead and Thom Yorke which still blows my mind. I got pretty heavily into Max MSP for my live shows and Cristian chose to master the Kyma system. He's now one of the worlds experts in that paradigm and has created a whole host of extensions and applications for it which can be found on his never engine in labs website His recent album rebirth of wonky sees him Effortlessly weaving his textural skills with that unique funk of his to great effect. He's never going to stop making music. He's a true lifer and a searcher. One of the true pioneers of the underground that deserves much more credit than he's received. I was very relieved that even after all this time apart, once the zoom call started and we got to talking it was like no time had passed and I hope you will enjoy as much as I did this catchup with my old friend and teacher. _NITTY I get into the 1st installment of the Binaural adventure with the Neumann head aka KU100.

I'm so happy to have had a chance to chat with Bill Schnee about everything from the art of recording drums, to his opinions on truthful recording vs recording as a way to make a cartoon (all shall be revealed!) We get to talking about some of the legendary recordings he's made with Marvin Gaye and Whitney Houston . I mean CHILLS guys.. absolute CHILLS. Just hard to fathom the industry in those days and also hard to fathom the incredible level Bill was operating at. He has over 125 Gold and Platinum records and 50 top twenty singles, and is known as an engineer's engineer. I'm very happy to say that he's written a new book. It's called Chairman at the Board and it's is an intimate, funny, and absorbing look at the music business by an insider who has recorded a host of the greatest musical artists of the last fifty years. find it here : ORDER NOW Here's a quote from another legend about this legend! Exercising the purely physical genius of a surgeon or dancer, Bill does recording, mixing, and producing extraordinarily well … maybe better than just about anyone else, living or dead. – GEORGE MASSENBURG link to chat with Andrew Scheps here What's new at Lidell HQ?

I've known this multi platinum renaissance man for some time now and I could tell, when we worked on the Lianne La Havas song "Green and Gold" that his skills went WAY beyond the technical. I can safely say that were it not for his expert manner in the room, that song never would have made it. Those are the kind of experiences that stay with you. It came as no surprise to later learn he's worked on records by Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Mary J. Blige, Common, The Strokes, Robert Glasper, and Erykah Badu. Yep he's rather nasty at mixing and producing. He's also taken a large role in producing work by badass bands like Battles and Die Antwoord. We nerd dive into a wide pool of topics from coffee to the holiest of Mics.. He has one in his possession that has THE most incredible back story. Chris is a master of the studio both in terms of the precise and fast execution of the all important technical stuff to the refined and nuanced energy required to draw out the best in musicians. Needless to say I'm mightily chuffed to have him grace the show :) ______________ In the nitty I dive into the instant joys of the Expert Sleepers app called CROSSFADE LOOP SYNTH Absolutely wicked!

Hello! Ah yes, twas superb to catch up with the excellent Alessandro Cortini. He's someone that really connects with the soul of machines in a very rare way. He has a clear direction and opinion on so many crucial aspects of machine music, from the pure aesthetic tonal side of things to the way that individuality can be such a crucial asset in a world that's thirsty for original voices. We get into a lot of juicy topics and Alessandro is very open and clear with his advice and opinions which I hope you'll all get a lot from. I certainly did :) On with the links!

Ack ! He's much more than a bunch of labels. One particularly fascinating record to me was his 1998 LP - Pop Artificial where he used a vocal techique to create characters from his own voice that still to this day sound super unique. I was always curious about that. Uwe talks to me about how it was REALLY done. I suddenly felt slightly ill trying to imagine the task at hand It's really quite mind boggling! Sonic secrets revealed!

Kieran Hebden is one of the most uniquely talented UK electronic artists working today. He's produced a wonderful stack of LPS and a remixed some of the best, from Aphex to Radiohead to Jamie Lidell. He's walked an unconventional path but the seemingly strange choices of gear and methods he's landed on are all very much considered. He is literally building a physical line of records that will stand as his legacy and that's at the forefront of his thinking. There's this drive to be finishing music and finding ways to keep inspired and making the whole thing feel free and live. He finds an amazing balance in his work between meticulousness and chaos. The collaborations with Jazz legend Steve Reid in particular showed how live electronics could be just that. LIVE! Messy, ever changing and satisfyingly intense. Unsurprisingly, he works best outside the traditional music making spaces, favouring his home and small, manageable setups over the monster rooms. Minimal amount of gear but huge amounts of vinyl!!!! We toured the states in 2005. I was opening for Kieran and it was a hell of a run. I've very fond memories of that time. He's a super smart and warm man that is the only person I know that plays cool edit like a violin.

Gloves on! My guest on Ep 76 is the excellent Imogen Heap. She's a lady unafraid of asking some big WHYS. Like for example WHY does the record business have to look the same as It did in the time when physical records and label structures were the norm? WHY must the artist have to hire teams of people to negotiate complicated wiggly pathways of the old clunky industry that really ought to be simplified for the good of getting the art to the ear? Imogen has been so open and transparent in her career moves and it's a lesson in the value of meaningful fan connection. She found her own way to share music and was an early Advocate of cultivating a caring and engaged Internet community and it's paid dividends! She keeps the doors to her process open and welcomes fans to get involved with the process of her making. She looks at her real life makes changes to fit shifting priorities at home. She's highly adaptable, highly talented and very down to earth. No wonder she has so many supporters that get behind her wild, pioneering visions.

Welcome to EP 72 where I'm joined by Olivier Alary and Berlin-based composer Johannes Malfatti as we discuss the making of their new collaborative album 'u,i' A remarkably timely release that strikes a powerful resonance with our recently heightened experiences of connection and isolation under pandemic conditions. 'u, i ' was recorded over VOIP (voice over internet protocol), using the technology as both creative tool and conceptual frame. Fascinated by the way technology materializes memory, and by "the sound of its failure, pushed to its limits and breaking apart", they suggest that their sound here "might be described as 'Hauntological music 2.0', as it has a certain ghostly melancholia and foregrounds an awareness of the medium transforming what you hear." Release date for u,i is 25th Sep 2020 I trust you'll follow this link the label to find out more :) https://130701.com/release/ui/ _________________ _ _. _. _. _. _. _ Here's Olivier's Spotify playlist of contemporary music that he is into :) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1QhfwekXCGuHVjQyiq0TOe?si=cQlrwPQ4T0y-tNiJYxa34Q ________________ _ _ _ _ Music in this episode comes from a returning badass "good glued barometer" He's got a new EP to check out that you can listen to in the show.

Dana and I have known each other for 15 years now which is a bizarre fact to me. Feels about right, although I have no idea how 15 years ought to feel. I have so many fond memories of hanging out with her on our many epic road trips where we've traveled from Spearfish Dakota to Osaka Japan, played massive festivals and dive bars galore. I've been really happy to see her musical project Vorhees come so far and you'll hear in our chat about the huge array of different disciplines Dana Has taken on and the way that it all begins with a leap of faith and an admission that you know nothing when you start out. It reminds me of a great interview with David Bowie where he talks about the necessity to be in over your head when you start a creative project so that you're not going through the motions. It's great to be reminded that we all start this as absolute beginners but Dana and I have definitely put in our 10,000 hours though by now :-) it's great to have her on the show. Check all her excellent work here: 𝘄𝘄𝘄.𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗵𝗲𝗲𝘀𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰.𝗰𝗼𝗺 … In this episodes Nitty I will attempt to turn my humble acoustic guitar into a string ensemble and all for only four dollars!

NEWS FLASH. Jack Harris schooled Prince! He was a famous DJ in Minneapolis in the 60s when station KUXL was the only station playing R and B It was a daytime station only run from a Motel! Prince would literally hang there as a 12 year old. Wild! Jack Harris also sang and had his own band, writing and releasing music on Chess Records where he'd hang out with Howlin Wolf and all those amazing artists! Just incredible to think of it. He ALSO is an undeniable reason why I met my wife. All shall be revealed! Such a pleasure to invite this legend to the show! _______ Music for this EP70 comes from Becena (pronounced buh-see-na). Support him here : https://becena.bandcamp.com/releases Wonderful stuff ______ In the nitty I get busy with the rare and magical box that is the Moog 16 channel vocoder.

Welcome back after this 2 month pause! To the news: I put out 3 new songs on an EP called 3 4 U that can be found on my Bandcamp page here https://jamielidell.bandcamp.com/album/3-4-u All money raised goes to Black Lives Matter so please dig deep and chip in if you can. To all of you that have already been generous enough to contribute, thank you!!! I was on the fence about releasing this material as it's very private but I now want all my art to be direct and belong to my life in as deep a way as possible. Maybe another positive of this time. There's no need to hold back what's eating you. Art can heal if it's allowed to burn. I wanted to read a quote from an article that found its way to my phone today. It's written by a lawyer in New York by the name of TaLona Holbert. I find all of this to be self evident but also it's very clear that remaining silent on matters of race in this time is unacceptable. It's not got anything to do with politics, it's a matter of acknowledging racial inequality and not denying it. It's a matter of justice and education. We can all do our part. Talona says: I believe that change is possible and that change is imminent. I am hopeful that someday, Black children will not need to be warned about Black inferiority and can move through life expecting and receiving the same opportunities as equally qualified white people. I hope that Black children can one day bask in the same innocence that white children have always enjoyed. I want Black children to see themselves reflected in textbooks, toys, everyday personal items and mainstream American culture and society. Because they, too, are American. Black children should see streets, schools, buildings and bridges named after accomplished Black people whom they can admire. Black children should see a succession of American presidents that is as diverse as the American electorate. They should see monuments and currency reflecting the many Black people who have contributed to our society. And when future Black students are finally taught about anti-Blackness, Black inferiority, police brutality and racial injustice, it is my hope that those lessons are taught in the past tense. My guest on the show is now an academy award winning writer. That's a first! Well, actually.. Mark Ronson won that too for the Gaga song "Shallow" that they both wrote. So congrats also to you Mark! Back to Andrew Wyatt. He is a solo artist and member of Miike Snow who've been at it for quite sometime. We've bumped into each other on the gigging circuit several times but I've never had a substantial chat with him. I really enjoyed the hang we had in his LA studio. What a wonderful creative zone it is. I recall a little while after this interview, sitting with Bobby, Haxan Cloak in a restaurant and he was telling me just how good a player Andrew is. I started following him on the gram and he's been posting clips of himself at the piano. I just love the style he has. So much flavour. Makes sense to me now thinking of the way he writes and the harmonic and melodic world he lives in. We talked a little about his chronology and music but also got good and lost down the side roads of philosophy. My kind of ramble! It gives me great pleasure to welcome to the pod this accomplished master in the game. Andrew Wyatt The Nitty in EP 69 is all about a dose of clap. Yeah. Make a hand, make many hands and make them clap. Electronically in this case. I attempt to make an 808 clap with machines from scratch. Thank you to Josh Hogan and Ned Beckley for providing music from the show today. It all comes from their soundtrack to the movie "Below" Check the whole thing here it's a great listen! https://lnkfi.re/VuC8ikOa I now have a YouTube channel that has a few video nittys on it: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5ueWS6_eXAlWAHVBcecl8w See you in a Bi (week nat month!)

It's amazing to imagine what it REALLY takes to move the needle in the world of pro audio product development. No one can argue that's exactly what UA have done. Fascinating man! ______________ I wanted to alert you to my appearance on the Luna After Hours YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LI6pbsJw3ao I got into making a spontaneous bit of music in Luna live on stream. Good rush! ---------------- I was happy to also be a part of a new "Isolation Choir" free expansion for the fantastic G-Force software Mtron plugin. They put my voice in the machine! Good rush :) https://www.gforcesoftware.com _____________ Music for this Episode comes from Joseph Holiday and his project Snakes of Russia Tracks featured are all from his new EP "At home with Lions" https://www.instagram.com/snakesofrussia https://open.spotify.com/artist/3gXvuz9NcnlvCFwXVyblhc?si=Ix6H4DbVRhmmO8xB-dwnog __________ Big news for me is….. Video nitty 2 is here! I really went deep on this It's called the sound of one hand drumming And it's my attempt to play a real drum kit with a theremin. Yep.. theremin to bounce convertor Here's a strange hacked down bit of audio from that production for you! Please go and check it out on the hanging out with audiophiles YouTube channel https://youtu.be/Mn0Va3Kqoko _____ Thank you to Universal Audio for kind show sponsorship ! Check out Luna! https://www.uaudio.com

My guest is a master of the dark arts. A minimalist with a big sound. A pioneer and a deeply clever chap. He's an audio visual mash man that's got tasty taste. A rare combo! Some may be aware of the music master mind that is William Fields but to those of you that don't know him he's very much needing to be on your radar. I got into a small side road ramble whilst in conversation with Richard Devine on EP 57 and we were talking about limitations in eurorack for sequencing and how he wanted to get into using a computer with algorithmic composition tools to vastly expand the possibilities. I asked him if there was anyone out there making any listenable algorithmic shit and he told me of William Fields and the rest is history. Get over to Williams FieldsOS page on band camp NOW! There's 24 tracks up there that are.. get this. 59 mins long EACH . WTF? https://williamfields.bandcamp.com/album/fieldsos Long form expert explorations of a style. One is called Footwork, another UK Garage and then there's the fantastically bonkers Unconstrained. It's mind boggling stuff and I wanted to know what the hell was going on so ... Stay tuned! Links to William's latest releases, both from January: https://kaer-uiks.bandcamp.com/album/imperfekt https://shop.conditional.club/album/shackamaxon… _____ Music for this episode comes from: Luke Bace ~aka~ LakeCube ---------------- SoundCloud BandCamp Spotify __________ Shout outs! In this time of streaming I wanted to give a shout out to Divkid for keep everyone informed about goings on with the streams. https://divkidvideo.com What did I watch so far? Colin Benders (great modular techno) Kieran Hebden who did a fantastic Boiler room streamed set and raised $10,365 for the Global Food Banking Network https://www.foodbanking.org Here's that set: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXQi77eOdEY Andrew Huang put together his march earnings and gave to @DirectRelief for their efforts in the pandemic. He raised $6541.70! I made some new stuff: Grab my companion pack to follow up on the marvelous work of @Hainbach101 Find the samples here : https://jamielidell.bandcamp.com/releases They are Free or donate as you like… I've been so pleasantly surprised by the response. Thanks to all of you for grabbing it! I hope it brings you some funk! It's still very much available. _____ So sad to hear about Bill Withers. It's just one that weighs heavy on me. What a singular talent, what an example of a pure soul. The honesty just shines through in his work. Hit me hard. RIP Bill. I felt inspired to try and make my own humble tribute to the man. I reached out to my friend in hiding, Chancey and he immediately had bass and guitar recorded for the song. I've actually since had my neighbour across the street, Rob Burger add some additional keys There MIGHT well be a special guest making a string arrangement in a month. Fingers crossed. I've been really moved by the speed of response out there to this idea. Everyone's been amazing. Here's the video of the song: https://bit.ly/2Re8Tax _________ Today's nitty is a first for this show. After 134 weeks of making this thing I've gone and made a video for the nitty. A viddy nitty if you will. It's a tear away from the recent sample pack video I made. A few people liked the motor piano clip so I figured I'd try an expanded idea emerging form that little seed. I have been trying to keep productive in my evenings which is when I get to work. I apologize for the slackness getting this show out but I've been trying to get my head around lots of things im no good at! My wife is an incredible visual artist. She's long been a professional photographer so we have lots of good cameras in the house but its definitely HER world. Anyway after the sample pack vid I started the journey on the video making road. VIDEO HERE! https://youtu.be/po7vPCa-t8E First of many hopefully! Thanks for joining me folks. Likes, Camera, nitty!

Hi Ack. Not a great time. We've a delayed show coz I had the tummy troubles and now we should all be inside sheltering from this bastard of a global pandemic. Don't be stupid. Stay IN and wait this shit out please. We can break the curve if we stick together and hopefully antivirals will be along soon to mitigate the symptoms before the vaccine shows up. ANYWAY I don't need to add to the viral news. I'm sure you've all heard it all by now. Let's get .. on... with ... The show! what is it ? For your entertainment and pleasure I bring you a chat with Norwegian artist Lido. Phone hangs are gonna be the way for a bit. He's an easy going follow of 27 and already has a lot under his belt. He's already worked with big names like Chance the Rapper, Banks, Disclosure and many more. Great drummer, keys player, singer, arranger, producer. He's a man with many hats. Big hats y'all! Great to have him on. He's got a new song coming 25th March called "Postclubridehomemusic" should be a goodie. ____________________ In the nitty I get on speed. MIDI vs Gate/Cv who wins? ____________________ Music from today's show comes from Mark Hadley. He's a serious badass. His most recent record is called, rather aptly "The Future is the Question" find it here ____________________ please send musical submissions and inquires to [email protected] BYE!

We go back me and Al. Yep, I was the producer on Allen's 2019 album, Building Balance so we spent a long time in the studio making sounds and singing whee songs. It's a pleasure to have him on the show to talk about something a little different. We explore advice to up and coming artists from his perspective. He explains his evolution from solo hard head into a team player and why that's his preference for the long game. He's been on the road and working super hard for many years now and he's always thinking about how to keep it moving. Good stuff! _________ I'm happy to have been a GUEST on another pod recently. The good fellows at ESOTERIC MODULATION had me on. Ben Wilson (div kid) and Ed Ball are excellent hosts. It's a great show for those into the outer worlds of sound and art process. Most glad I made it on. Had a blast! Here's a link to that episode: https://www.esotericmodulation.com/episodes/016-an-audiophile-hangout _________ Music for the show comes from France via an artist called Nacara. If you dig it, dig in more here! http://www.nacaramusic.com _______ In the nitty I get into the famous CIRKLON sequencer (albeit in a rather basic way) Thanks to Mark at retro gear shop here in Nashville for the loan! Check his store! Absolutely bonkers gear… https://retrogearshop.com My idea is to create generative questions and answers. It worked!

Welcome to 64. 128 weeks of the pod :) This time I'm in the company of two fifth of the band local natives. I had the pleasure of sharing the stage with these 5 fine fellows many moons ago, somewhere in Ireland. A bland, underwhelming festival that we both remember as such. We had afternoon slots. It was grey. The food was grey. So the contrast of this mini reunion was stark in the most pleasant ways. Nestled in a secluded sanctuary, up a rambling incline somewhere in sunny LA, I caught up with Ryan and Kelcey. It was on the 11th day of the 11th month of 2019 at 11 am! Triple 11s. The chats took in the nature of extended band existence as we explore what it takes to play the long game. We chat of the mystical album making process in a satisfyingly deep yet jovial fashion and I can see that making music with these guys would be a blast. Their last album was produced by friend of the pod, Shawn Everett. The master of play, the master of effort over convenience. It's a Shawn love fest after a spell and rightfully so. Hope you enjoy this deeply pleasant hour and a bit I got to share with this fine fraction of the wonderful band that is Local Natives! ____________________ Music for this episode comes from far far away. It's songs from an EP called "fishing from an asteroid" by PlaneFace aka Daniel Pliner. Just amazing work. Such a great grasp of the sound and flow. Damn. I was super impressed by this stuff. Here's a link for your listening pleasure: Fishing from an Asteroid by PlaneFace _______________________ Nitty sees me all clustered up. I'm armed with a crazy computer and Spitfire audio string sounds up the wazoo It only seems right to add layers upon layers of notes and scatter them willy nilly into the ether Clouds of ascending strings. Yep samplers to the ready ____________________ Kind sponsorship of this episode comes from 2 badass makers in the synth universe 4 m s. http://4mscompany.com Makers of modular magic like the spherical wavetable navigator, the bonkers topographic delay, the shifting inverting signal mingler and LOADS LOADS more. They've been at it since 1996. Amazing to have them on the show Also amazing are the good folks at 1010 music https://1010music.com Makers of some delightful machines Not least the bitbox that I NEED to get my hands on. When I saw Richard Devine play at the korg booth this year at NAMM 2020, I saw he was using 2 of these bad boys. You know if Richard's using them, it's gotta be sick!

We have Royalty on the pod. Sometimes when I do this show I really have to pinch myself and this was a case in point. As a teenager I only had one idol and only cared about one band. I ultimately ostracize myself from the vast majority of my schoolmates since nobody in Huntington Cambridgeshire cared about Prince and the Revolution. I just happened to be one of those people that was completely and utterly immersed in that sonic universe. Initially I just couldn't take my eyes off the bright light of Prince and let's be honest he was quite the supernova. The thing is as a fan I couldn't help but wonder why there was something so different about the output between 1984 - 1987. (Purple rain, around the world in a day, parade and sign of the times) Why did that era Stand out so wildly from the rest of his work? Why were the arrangements more daring all of a sudden? Why was the sonic landscape more varied and Rich? Prince could do so much on his own but with the BAND it just went to the blooming next level. I can truly say that without Wendy I never would've dreamt to be a musician myself. I may have gotten into Prince had she not been in the band I suppose but I feel like the incredible chemistry of everyone together was something that I felt all the way across the Atlantic and it sparked my imagination like nothing else. I never knew Wendy's story before this chat so I was fascinated to hear her open up about her incredible childhood. You'll hear how she was surrounded by music on an extremely high level from a very young age and it clearly all went in and it all makes sense now why that beautiful mind she has added so much vibrancy and Colour to all that music. Wendy and Lisa continue to make great records to this day and are always searching and finding ways to express themselves and make thro it in this messed up music business. She wears the crown but she wears it with such grace and you'll hear just how humble, generous, Funny, friendly and open she is. I'm still finding it hard to believe I met Wendy and had a chance to chat with her in her own studio, but that dreamer from Huntington walked into the room buzzing with anticipation and left with a Cheshire Cat grin. It gives me great pleasure to welcome to hanging out with audiophiles the incomparable Wendy Melvoin! ___________________________ Music for the show comes from MALK This is an unreleased recordedmade with by Nathanial Morse and his brother, under the name of MALK.

No big deal :)

EP 62 - TIGA Cosmic connection! Me and Tiga were born on the SAME day and the SAME year. PRETTY rare situation I'd say. Feels right to kick off the 2020 with a little happy coincidence ! Hello by the way. Who is TIGA? You kidding me? Well let's break down the man in a timeline styleee. - He was born on an amazing day in an amazing year. - He's run a record store (I mean for YEARS) - He's DJ'd all over planet - He's been in a movie with other great Canadians. - He's a multi dad and he's even a pod man like me :) First off here's the details about the pod: "Last Party On Earth" is its name and it was launched in summer 2019 featuring chats with top folks such as Annie Mac, Pete Tong and Carl Cox He promises more to come :) Tiga has made a load of music. Like 3 LPs and a ton of singles AND he's remixed just about everyone and their dog! Here's a taste of the levels: LCD Soundsystem – "Beat Connection" (Tiga Edit) Cabaret Voltaire – "Nag Nag Nag" (Tiga & Zyntherius Radio mix) Depeche Mode – "Shake The Disease" (Tiga Remix) Depeche Mode – "Suffer Well" (Tiga Remix) Pet Shop Boys – "Minimal" (Tiga's M-I-N-I-M-A-L Remix) / (Tiga's M-I-N-I-M-A-L Dub) The Prodigy – "Thunder" (Tiga Remix) The xx – "Shelter" (Tiga Remix) Disclosure - "Magnets (feat. Lorde)" (Tiga Remix) He even tackled my 2010 single – "I Wanna Be Your Telephone" (Tiga's Party Like It's 1990 Remix) It's rather banging! Yep We get into his LUCKY ways, the power of nativity Minimalism as a lifestyle and a productivity booster The reasons why we make art! It's alll here Welcome to pod TIGA ____ In the nitty I reimagine note onsets and their relationship in space as delays from one another That allows me to make a song about time. Causality in action ______ Music from the show comes from Body Copy and a new EP called Spirit Dance: https://soundcloud.com/BodyCopyMusic

Merry Crimble one and all! Yo ho ho and so forth as we smoke some peace at Dave's house. I hope you are all enjoying some down time and it's good hang. If not I call this one the escape pod so hopefully you can relax a little as we get into our hearty end of year ramblathon. Dave is a legitimate legend at this point. His work speaks for itself. He's produced some heavy shit in his time. TV on the radio anyone? Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Beyonce, Weezer... Liars. The list goes on and on and it's all crazy and plenty magic. At one point Mr Sitek is chatting about the Jefferson starship guitarist. so here's a Jorma_Kaukonen link :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jorma_Kaukonen We get into a lengthy one about the power of boredom, the inevitable struggles with loneliness in 2019/2020 and many a juicy topic. In the nitty I make EVERYTHING sleigh. Yep. That's right. Kind sponsorship comes from Dave's fave monitor folk ADAM AUDIO. makers of rather fine speakers. Dave has 2 pairs. They are banging.

My son always reminds me that New Zealand is 8000 miles from Nashville. That number is etched in my head now but What could it MEAN? Surely being surrounded by that lush and splendid setting growing up must have a huge impact on ones sonic sense? I feel a ramble coming on! Yep we meander-chat about the wind, pavlova (important beef. Not beef Pav, the other kind of beef), the promise of 20% sax and the giddy power and cruelty of naivety in the world of Baynk. I had a good writing hang with him in LA sometime ago and was happy we found a sec to natter. I realized this chat is showing it's age now as we had this convo a year ago. I was curious how things might have matured and settled for Jock in this time. He has kept the releases very controlled and high quality. Well worth a listen! His "Someone's EP II" is superb and got a bunch of tasty remixes including one from Machine Drum, my guest on episode 40. Only a few days ago a new jam hit the webs, an instrumental mellow burn called "High" Please welcome to the show Baynk! _____________ Music for today's show comes from. Chris Nickolls who makes music under the name 'Kmodo' 'Cold Fusion' is his first release and features Berlin based singer Clara Hill And you can find his music on/in? The cloud! Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/komodo/sets/cold-fusion-ep/s-pfkY8 _____________ Nitty 60 sees me having a good ole sing into the rather superb DUBLER from UK company Vochlea Here's the link to their box of tricks: https://www.vochlea.co.uk

Welcome Rodaidh McDonald We met through our mutual pal Bobby Krlic (my guest on EP33) and got a brief chat in. I realized quickly that he'd working on the Sampha record that I really love called Process and I had so many questions. We get into that and oodles more in this face to face hang at Rodaidh's brand new house in LA. He had literally just got his gear in the place and there were a bunch of boxes and dreams lying around so I was very grateful to be welcomed into that rather vulnerable scene. He's a creative force and has a stack of potent collabs under his belt. To name drop a few: Adele Bobby Womack The xx Damon Albarn King Krule Savages David Byrne Brian Eno… Yeah I mean he's heavy. It's clear his calm manner and focused ways clearly help him to see things through to the end. The hallmark of a true producer. It's a pleasure to ramble though the timeline with him! ___________ nitty 59 explores the transformation of the PA mic feedback "issue" into a layer cake of pitchy joy. Tall order! No more "uh uh" just whip it through some cascades. Watch it spin into space. Something like that ___________ Music for this show comes from Mason Cos who are an electronic duo based in Denver, Colorado. Originally formed as a Krautrock-leaning live band in Chicago around 2016, Mason Cos then discovered the joys of experimenting with analog synthesizers. Listen! https://masoncos.bandcamp.com

The noise annoys Where would we be without John Peel ? In a time of noise we need selectors! Yeah man. We can all agree on something right? I chat with DJ VJ Label boss Zen Cyber punker Future surfer Matt Black He's seen a lot. A LOT From making hit records in the UK (One that sat at the number 1 spot for weeks), to remixing Legends like Eric B and Rakim, INXS, Steve Reich, The Fall and James Brown (I mean what a list!)... from mulitmedia pioneering with everything from video art to software video performance instruments to the unknown sky. Matt has had his fingers in many a tasty pie. I was very lucky to catch up with him on the blower for a minute :) we chat about the zen delay which is a great collaboration between ninja tune and Ericasynths. Check this link! ZEN DELAY LAY LAY LAY LAY _____________ Nitty today is all about the mysterious and musical world of the morph. Exploring the space in BETWEEN. I use a few methods to explore this. the obxa's portamento, the emblematic systems "catalyst" which is a eurorack module for crossfading between stored states (in this notes) and lastly I use Ableton with midi faders to achieve similar results. I needed to make a max patch for this which is here: enjoy ! it has a help button :) ABLETON NITTY FADER! _______________ Music for today's show comes from 2 fine artists ! 1) 2 songs from Envelope music. These come from an album called "The Rift" which is a debut collaborative work by West Australian composers Ned Beckley and Josh Hogan. find the album here: https://envelopemusic.bandcamp.com/album/the-rift 2) 2 track by Adam Jay, a experienced techno chap! he's done a lot of banging shit! https://soundcloud.com/adamjay

Richard and I go waaaay back. Yep, we were touring America together back in 2002 and that was the first time I met him. tWas a warp records tour with Mark Bell (RIP), Nightmares on wax, Prefuse 73, Luke Vibert and other nutters! He was the guy fixing everyone's laptops on the bus I recall. We were all busy getting wasted and he was onto something else. That pretty much explains the man. Super generous with his time and pioneering in his goals and accomplishments. Not a follower. Indeed, not content with just making LPs, touring and all of that trad life, Richard's made his own path and now his work represents the high bar for sound design across the board. Whether working for Google, Yamaha or Jaguar Richard is the guy to figure out converting the unknown into the possible. A no to yes convertor. We talk about his toughest sonic challenge, the cutting edge of sound tech in 2019 and where he is heading in terms of his AI aspirations. We chat about the world of sound that lives above 20kHz. Why analog ??? and a lot more. He's a deep mind and this chat gets pretty specific in terms of tools used and so forth. You're welcome! Richard talks about a purely algorithmically generated set of music Here's a link: https://williamfields.bandcamp.com/album/fieldsos Really something unexpected. Also That Sanken 100khz mic ! https://bit.ly/32T0j54 ____________________ In the nitty today I dive into controlled chaos. Dipping an ankle into the portal! It's a lot of eurorack talk.

My guest today has been watched by so many people it's hard to imagine all the eyeballs! Quite a harrowing image actually. 440 million eye balls!! Yes, that's the amount that have viewed his now uber famous and ace youtube channel. An quick and undeniable word to describe Andrew might be prolific. I mean it FEELS apt since he's made over 50 albums of original music. It's bonkers! The man must never sleep and yet he always looks so well rested! Many mysteries.. so many. Many questions too. I mean how to navigate the internet and win? How are choices are amplified by the web? How to forge your own path? He's a great teacher, formidable visual artist and musician and super positive hang :) It's the wild west out there and Andrew has been riding his digital horse into unexplored towns for years now. He's been around and seen a lot on his travels Let's get into it Please welcome to hanging out with audiophiles Andrew Huang Check his amazing youtube channel : https://bit.ly/28SFrz8 His 30 day class is underway..

A man who I've heard of many times and yet never had a chance to meet. Gotta love the pod for this coz after my chat with Mr Vaderslice on Episode 51 I was introduced. Mr Congleton is so fast. He's quick witted and on point. He knows what he thinks and has clearly taken a long time to come to his opinions. You know where you stand with that kind of attitude. You can see the strength of his character quickly from his twitter feed where he is not afraid to tell it like he sees it. The fact there's a quick way in with the man perhaps that explains how he's been able to work with such a huge range of talent from a multitude of genres. Time for a quick name drop. Although he's worked with hundreds and hundreds of great acts (many of whom are wonderfully unknown) a selection of his high profile gigs include working with: Lana Del Rey Angel Olsen St Vincent David Byrne My guest on episode 17 - Kimbra Modest mouse Swans Erykah Badu And my guest from episode 16 - unknown mortal orchestra There are so many more. It's quite staggering to read a longer list of names from his wiki. Needless to say "have you ever been experienced" is rather fitting So in that mental cloud of psych dust lingering in the doorway lets jump into this coffee morning speed ramble with the powerhouse that is John Congleton ______ The Nitty sees me getting old school with my original looper. The same one I used to open for James Brown, Bjork and Beck! so simple by 2109 standards but it was 19 years ago :) _______ Music for the show is from second violin : https://secondviolin.bandcamp.com/ or soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/second-violin Thanks to ASC for the show sponsorship Get some tubetraps ASAP !! They rule http://www.tubetrap.com

Ello This is the commonwealth edition. Like the Ashes of Audio it's UK vs Australia. Justin Stanley FINALLY finds his way to the pod. First and foremost Mr Stanley is my friend. We've been on some serious adventures in our times. We were on the road together in 2006, where we met touring with Beck. I was opening and J.S. was in the Beck band and KILLING. Also he happens to be a prince of man. A TRUE legend. A humble badass and a VERY experienced audio king. He's worked with everyone from Leonard Cohen to Prince and even a little Lidell along the way. Husband of the wonderful Nikka Costa and Dad to two incredible young humans, Justin is just a joy. So happy to have him on. He surprised me by driving us both over to Barefoot in LA. It's owned by Eric Valentine. WHAT a place. We sat and played on the piano Stevie used on Songs in the Key of Life, Talking Book and so on. I mean COME ON! It was all too much. Such a sweet surprise that'll stay with me for ages. Here's to you Justin! You're a class act. _____________________________________ Music for the show is from Sydney Australia.. so apt. It was clearly meant to be. The band is called Colourfields. And the tracks that appear in the show are from an album called "Body Objects" Superb stuff! Link here: https://colourfields1.bandcamp.com/album/body-objects ____________________________________ In the 54th Nitty I get into the mysterious world of reversing reversed effects. Forwarding the backward. A little time travel. Also apt for this show with Justin. Here we go!
