Podcast 341: Ned Lagin (Part II)

Art + Music + Technology ·

2020/10/25

In this second of two interview sessions, we talk with Ned Lagin about the compositional process behind his work (including echoes of Renaissance music), his Seastones collaborators, the ups and downs of the Seastones release(s) and his subsequent technical career. Ned Lagin is legendary. As a former performer with the Grateful Dead, he toured with a crazy rig that featured both standard keyboards as well as an E-mu modular controlled by a computer system. All this during the early 70’s

Ned Lagin is legendary. As a former performer with the Grateful Dead, he toured with a crazy rig that featured both standard keyboards as well as an E-mu modular controlled by a computer system. During the early 70’s (http://spiritcats.com/nedbase.html). Yeah. He also produced an amazing work, called Seastones, that is a ground-breaking electronic music collection. Unfortunately, it fell between the cracks of some label flip-flopping, and never received the attention it deserved. Featuring guest

Podcast 339: Jean-Baptiste Thiebaut (Music Hackspace)

Art + Music + Technology ·

2020/09/27

Jean-Baptiste Thiebaut is someone I have had the chance to work with at Cycling, and has been on an amazing journey. JB’s background is quite amazing, combining a background in computer science with advanced research in computer-aided composition. He then entered the MI industry – working at Novation/Focusrite in product development, then directing product development at ROLI. Through all of that, he founded and nurtured the London-based Music Hackspace, a place for music hackery to thrive. When the

2020/09/13

As one of the founding members of the band Can, Irmin Schmidt left a permanent mark on the world of music. Since Can’s breakup, Irmin has left his mark on film music, having been credited as composer on more than 40 films and TV shows. Recently, he has released two albums on Mute Records featuring solo prepared piano work, with “Nocturne: Live at the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival” coming out earlier this year. In our chat, we talk about his background, his sources of creativity, and his

Podcast 337: Paul Dickow (Strategy)

2020/08/30

I'd heard about the artist Strategy from Portland friends in the past, and always appreciated the subtle complexity that threaded throughout his work. When Joshua Clayton opened the door to speak with Paul Dickow - Strategy - I was excited to take the chance. As I prepared for the talk, I was surprised by the number of projects that Paul was involved in, and also his involvement with community support. As we got talking, I also found out that we shared something else: a love of samplers. Getting a

Podcast 336: Scott Lawlor

Art + Music + Technology ·

2020/08/16

Scott Lawlor reached out to me to start a conversation, and after hearing his story, I was anxious to get his story on the podcast. He is part of numerous collaborations, does live performances (including his "isolation concerts" during this COVID lockdown) - but my bell was rung when he mentioned that he'd done around 250 releases. 250 releases! I had to learn more... It turns out that Scott's work is really flow-oriented, and that he is able to drop into 'recording mode' really quickly. He also

Podcast 335: Ned Rush

2020/08/02

I first got to know Ned Rush through some glitch-based sample packs that he made available - a long time ago. He's continued creating - making sample sets, music releases and Max for Live devices, and has also been making interesting videos on his YouTube channel. Now, he's started a remote weekly performance series called "More Kicks Than Friends" that brings together a lot of people that you know from other online locales. I was very excited to get Ned on the horn for a chat, and we cover a lot of

Podcast 334: Alex Braga

Art + Music + Technology ·

2020/07/19

When I first got clued into the A-Mint system, I was very curious: I've not been 'entranced' by AI and ML systems for music, and I tend to be kind of skeptical. But some of the video and audio examples I heard of Alex Braga's A-Mint were quite surprising - especially in their realtime use with other performers. This is something that caught my attention, and I wanted to learn more. Alex is an engaging interview, and our discussion ranged from his background, to his love of nerdy machines, and into

Podcast 333: Roger Neill

Art + Music + Technology ·

2020/07/05

Roger Neill is living a pretty charmed life. Working on film, TV and game music, he is able to dive deep into music of all styles, and create extended storytelling by working with directors of films like Valley Girl, 20th Century Women and TV work like JJ Villard's Fairy Tales. All of this requires the depth of knowledge that comes from getting an advanced degree in music, but also an emotional connection that comes from playing guitar in teenage rock bands. We had a great conversation that covered

Podcast 332: Scott Nordlund (acreil)

Art + Music + Technology ·

2020/06/28

I love it when I get suggestions from my listeners for something to research. Hearing about "acreil" - and tracking this down to Scott Nordlund - was a lot of fun, mainly because the starting point was on Bandcamp, and his music is so good. I'd learned that he was deep into working with Pure Data, and he had a great collection of releases, so I was all in! And it was worth it. Scott has a clear opinion about what works - for him. He doesn't really worry about the general case; he's focused on what

Podcast 331: Robin Rimbaud (Scanner)

Art + Music + Technology ·

2020/06/21

I try not to reveal my super-fandom very often, but Robin Rimbaud (aka Skanner) maps to a critical time in my life. Back when he was putting out the early Scanner stuff, my ears were opening to more adventurous electronic work, and his efforts slammed directly into my interests. I've been a fan ever since, and was blown away to get to talk with him. And what a great conversation - we cover everything from his background (of course) to details on working on the Vex project - a site-specific work done

Podcast 330: Stephan Schmitt

2020/06/14

Talk about a career! Stephan Schmitt started his journey into audio development by making noisy object as a kid, then got into electrical engineering to work on large format consoles (which is where he took on software...), then co-founded Native Instruments, creating Generator/Reaktor. After years with NI (including the development of Spark, Skanner and Kontour), he set off to work on his ultimate project: a keyboard player's dream synth, called the Nonlinear Labs C15. In our chat, we talk about

Podcast 329: Doug Bielmeier

2020/06/07

I'm always encouraged when I hear about academics that are battle tested in industry in some way. Doug Bielmeier, a professor at Northeastern University, has that - Doctorate in Education, but also time in a DC-area hip hop studio, and time banging out track in Nashville, Doug has the background that brings weight to his music industry teaching. He also has a really interesting musical practice. He combines audio processing with a variety of sound sources, with the most significant being his use of

Podcast 328: Ben Carey

Art + Music + Technology ·

2020/05/31

How does a saxophonist become a modular synth head? How does a serial collaborator put out his first solo album? And how does anyone get roped into doing a see-all video like the amazing Surfacing (https://vimeo.com/346031783) film? We learn the answer to these questions - and many more- in this episode with the amazing Ben Carey. From his solo modular mischief to collabs with Sonya Holowell and others, Ben is in constant motion. In addition, he's also been working on visuals (most notably in

2020/05/24

Whether you are talking the Broken20 label, TVO music releases, the Further_in virtual festival or installations under his own name, you would have to admit that Ruaridh Law is dedicated. He's a self-described 'finisher', but also has a head full of ideas, so he's in constant motion. With Further_in in full swing, upcoming releases for the label and a new work (44 Tarot) in play, Ruaridh has lots to talk about! What is fun in this interview is getting to hear about how media art is both an extremely

Podcast 326: Jesse Stiles

2020/05/17

In a way, Jesse Stiles has a career I can really envy. Studying with Pauline Oliveros, traveling India while sitting in on music school classes, working with the Merce Cunningham Dance Company and teaching at Carnegie Mellon. Huh - sounds pretty great, eh? Combine that with an active performing and recording schedule, work on sound art installations, and you've got a full book! But it's interesting to hear about Jesse's background, and how it really wasn't clear that this was going to be the

Podcast 325: Thorsten Sideboard

2020/05/10

There are lots of conferences that come along - and move along - without making a dent on anyone's attention. Thorsten Sideboard's Algorithmic Art Assembly is *not* one of those; it's first outing, last year, was one of the buzziest conferences I'd heard about. Now with the pandemic, conferences are a little out-of-bounds, but talking with Thorsten not only revealed a lot about the development of a conference and the community surrounding it, but also about how you can expand your personal passions

I'm not sure where you go to learn about music industry activities, but I'll bet that CDM (Create Digital Music) - https://cdm.link/ - is one of those places. Run by Peter Kirn, CDM provides long-form narratives on music creation, tools and projects. It's well-managed, and is part of my daily reading routine - and possibly yours, too. So with its coverage of commercial MI gear, DIY hacker projects, live modular performances and crazy AI experiments, you've got to wonder about the person behind all

2020/04/26

As I mention at the beginning of the podcast, I feel like I've know Laura Escudé for most of the time that I've spend in the MI industry. She was there in the early days of my NAMM days as one of the demo masters in the Ableton booth. Later, I started seeing her working on live shows around the world, speaking to Laura's professional bona fides. Even more recently, I started to see notices on social media about live streaming masterclasses, her Transmute program for live show development, and her

Podcast 322: John Brien (Important Records)

2020/04/19

There are a few record labels that capture my attention and keep it. One of these is Important Records - not because I'm a get-every-release fanboy, but rather because, when I find myself in a great record store, I'll often find myself picking up Imprec releases. There's just something about the artists, the design and the clear quality that speaks to me. And, of course, it helps that they release archival material from my personal heroes! It took a while, but eventually I did get to have a chat
