hanging out with audiophiles

Really happy to share this chat with Luke as a celebration of the NEW RELEASE of our LP https://surl.li/fqimbs "A companion for the spaces Between Dreams" There are digital and physical copies YES both vinyl and cassette I'm happy to say! This music was made crafted here in my studio in Nashville, it's a guide for those liminal spaces you may find yourself in so to speak and it's been a real treat to put together Luke is a special one and it was lovely to get a focused time to sit and chaat. We had a nice jam too and generated loads more amazing sound. Feels like such an easy thing for us to get on the same page. We get into how Luke found his path and along the way he mentions a lot of amazing pedal steel players I thought I'd best compile them for reference as they are pretty special !

As you know, I've been rather obsessed with the music of Hans-Joachim Roedelius, and that obsession doesn't seem to be fading anytime soon. So you can imagine my delight when I discovered that Tim Story, who joins me on this episode of the podcast, played a major role in creating the remarkable record that's captivated me lately — 90. To make that album, Tim sifted through over 100 hours of unreleased material from Roedelius's archives — a monumental effort that resulted in this stunning compilation of tracks. I was fascinated to hear about the process behind it all, and equally happy to speak with Tim himself — a wonderfully charming and generous man, as well as a longtime friend and collaborator of Roedelius. I hope you enjoy our conversation. Music for this episode comes from Europe in Flames, whose new album One is out now. You can find it on Bandcamp — here's the link. https://europeinflames.bandcamp.com/album/one

ITS OUT!!! YES!!! It's hard to believe tbh after all this time but indeed the first song from my long talked about LP "Places of Unknowning" is OUT There's a vinyl pre-order (and digi pre-thing) for the full album and links to stream this early track the "The Center" here: https://todo.ochre.store Video from the live performance of The Center here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxxUxtHkE1 You might be curious how it all came to be.... Where are these wild and powerful words coming from for example? Well I'm glad you asked since I got to sit down and record a chat with my delightful wife Lindsey Rome who wrote this record with me. Specifically, she wrote the words and I set them to music. A marriage of it's own! She's A lady I adore A lady I am constantly inspired by. A lady that has no end to her creativity. She's written a lot of material with me at this point and it's always been super rewarding to work in this way but I will say that NOTHING I've made with her has ever been like this. I felt like I was handed these precious truths and intimate revelations to try and merge with the realm of music. The fact I know her so well and care so deeply was both the only way to make this so rich and potent but also proved to be quite a challenge to get right. Needless to say Im mightily excited finally get to share the fruits of our collaboration at long last. It really was a team effort between the two of us and all the more sweet to send it off as a document of this time Hope you enjoy hearing how it all came to be from my best friend and true love Lindsey Rome

I got hip to Cristobal's work thanks to my recent TV addiction. I inhaled all 3 seasons of the white lotus and I think I was only able to get so greedy because of the EXCELLENT music. I usually get repelled by TV scores tnh. I feel like I know the tricks and the tones and the emotional devices and I end up paying attention to them in a bad way. My agitation stops me from getting swept up and carried away. Not so with this man's work. I just felt like it was so deeply connected to the lands and the mystery and power of our animalistic shadows that ride in the narrative. I was taken aback and taken away. It's been a long time since I found myself loving a soundtrack. I had to know more and thankfully Cristobal (I butcher his name in the pod btw to my shame!) has been fantastic to chat with. I reached out, we set a date to chat and it just flowed. I love that. Hope you enjoy the fascinating insights he shares. He's so humble about his ways but he clearly is no pushover, knowing what he believes in and fighting for that. I loved this hang. Hope it gets to all to at least buy a shaker if you don't own one!
