Be 31x More Creative With Jamuary2025! Music Production podcast

1:12:59

In this episode of The Music Production Podcast , I sit down with musician and songwriter Jean-Paul Vest, the driving force behind Last Charge of the Light Horse . We talk about the evolution of songwriting, the impact of place and sound on music, and the delicate balance between control and spontaneity in the creative process. Jean-Paul shares his approach to writing, how his songs take shape over time, and the unexpected ways music resonates with listeners. We also dive into the role of nostalgia, the value of quiet spaces, and why playing music with friends is one of the greatest joys of being a musician. Listen on Apple , Spotify , YouTube Main Topics Discussed: Songwriting and Identity – How artists evolve over time and whether they should brand themselves or stay fluid in their musical identity. Letting Creativity Flow – The challenge of balancing technical skill with raw inspiration and why stepping back can lead to better songs. Sound and Place – How environments, from noisy cities to quiet deserts, influence musical perception and creativity. The Role of Collaboration – Learning to trust bandmates and fellow musicians rather than dictating every detail. Reinvention in Music – How artists like Beck and XTC reinvent themselves and what we can learn from their approach. Music as a Personal Archive – Songs as layered stories, much like a “palimpsest,” revealing new meaning over time. Field Recording and Natural Soundscapes – Using organic sounds in music and the impact of noise pollution on creativity. Key Takeaways: Step Back and Let the Song Lead – Trying too hard to control the songwriting process can stifle creativity. Let ideas develop naturally. Your Environment Shapes Your Sound – Whether it’s a reverb-heavy church or the silent stillness of a desert, soundscapes influence the way music is made. Not Every Song is an Autobiography – Just because a song is personal doesn’t mean it’s literally about the songwriter. Sometimes, music is a character study. The Right Audience Makes a Difference – Playing in an intimate setting vs. a bar can completely change how a song is received. Music is a Long Game – Success isn’t just about radio play; it’s about the relationships and experiences built through music-making.

Øy - Composing Live Music Using Dance 2:02:36

16 days ago2:02:36

2:02:36

Today I am speaking with Kristoffer Lislegaard and Janne Eraker of the duo Øy. Janne is a tap dancer, with contact mics attached to her shoes. Kristoffer receives the audio in his computer running sequencers, synthesizers, drum machines, and Max for Live that all respond to Janne's movements. We had a fascinating conversation about how Øy collaborates and interacts musically for live performances and their new album Live . It was inspiring to learn about these new and exciting ways of creating music on both a technical and creative level. This is also the third time I've had Kristoffer on the show and it was a pleasure to hear how what was an idea last time we spoke has now become a fully realized project. Please welcome Kristoffer and Janne of Øy to the Music Production Podcast. Listen on Apple , Spotify , YouTube Takeaways: The interaction between dance and music creates a unique performance experience. Trust and communication are essential for successful collaboration. The psychological aspects of performance can greatly affect the dancer's experience. Recording sessions allows for reflection and discovery of new elements in their work. The use of technology opens up new possibilities for sound manipulation. Human expression is crucial in music, transcending technical limitations. Improvisation thrives on a shared language developed through collaboration. Bringing humanity into electronic music performance is valuable. Engaging with audiences can deepen their appreciation for the performance. Independent artists should focus on building direct connections with their audience.

Building Worlds with Music - Landman Composer Andrew Lockington 1:07:41

10 weeks ago1:07:41

1:07:41

Andrew Lockington is a film and television composer who composed the scores for many films including blockbuster hits City of Ember, Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, Sandreas, and Rampage, as well as hit television shows like Mayor of Kingstown, Special Ops: Lioness, and his latest Landman, starring Billy Bob Thornton. He also created the opening theme for Amazon Prime's Monday Night Hockey. Andrew's work is known for its creativity and attention to detail. We spoke about some of those techniques like how he recorded in a prison for Mayor of Kingstown and used its gates, walls, bars as musical instruments. Andrew explains how this kind of extra effort can help us bring out the emotional impact in our work. Listen on Apple , Spotify , YouTube Takeaways: Andrew's recent projects showcase a diverse range of musical styles. The line between film and TV music is increasingly blurred. Creating sound palettes involves collaboration and experimentation. Embracing imperfections can lead to more authentic music. Recording in unique locations can enhance the emotional impact of a score. Music should reflect the humanity of characters, even in villains. The environment where music is recorded influences its sound and feel. Collaboration with trusted partners can uncover hidden musical gems. Storytelling through music can bridge gaps between characters and viewers. The stories behind music can enhance the emotional experience. Creating music should focus on conveying emotion rather than technical perfection. Imperfections in music can add character and authenticity. Accidental discoveries in music production can lead to unique sounds. Simplicity in recording can yield powerful results. The creative process is often unpredictable and requires openness to change. Music can evoke feelings that are difficult to quantify or replicate. Trusting one's instincts in music production can lead to profound outcomes.

49:07

David Rowell is a veteran music journalist who has worked as an editor and writer at the Washington Post for over 20 years. Stewart Copeland of the Police said "David Rowell is the kind of critic that scares us musicians. He really gets it, maybe even more than we do." David is here to talk about his new book The Endless Refrain: Memory, Nostalgia, and the Threat to New Music . In it he expores the popularity of legacy acts and tribute acts and the challenges it creates for new musicians trying to get their music heard. David raises the question "do we even want new music?" We discuss his take on the trajectory of the music industry and what it means for artists like many of us, who create original music, and our culture in general. Finish-February 3-Day In-Person Workshop at Ableton's Pasadena Headquarters - https://brianfunk.gumroad.com/l/kwhsgv Listen on Apple , Spotify , YouTube Takeaways: The abundance of new music can be overwhelming for listeners. Investing in music through purchase creates a deeper connection. Nostalgic listening experiences shape our relationship with music. MTV revolutionized music consumption and artist visibility. The desire for new music is declining among audiences. Tribute bands reflect a growing preference for familiar music. Hologram performances raise ethical questions about music consumption. Nostalgia is a powerful marketing tool in the music industry. The emotional connection to music is vital for artists and fans. Venture capitalists are reshaping music consumption.
