_____

Medasin aka Grant Nelson is a feeler.

I was initially drawn to his sample packs like a moth to the fire.

The fire it turns out has many a hue and the music goes deep.

It was excellent to speak to the man himself and uncover his philosophical side.

We battle for who’s more of a hippy. It was close but

as all hippies know there is no winner in this game.

so just jump in the rambling river with us 🙂

Theo Vaughn and the Kill tony YouTube

I thought I ought to mention that 🙂

Thanks to Baby Audio for their kind sponsorship of this pod!

I’ve LOVED using their new synth ATOMS as you can doubtless hear from the fun I had in the intro.

I literally spent hours just making sounds for fun. It’s such a yielding instrument. I can highly recommend it!

all the sounds I made go to the patreons on the soul science level of course.
