I am now sharing ALL my music there. All of Feb coming soon :) There are 35 tracks up so far and they are the deepest connection to my current musical mind. The best I have to give !

Now

Let's get on with the show

Welcome Anderson East!

We've made some music together and so this isn't the first time we've had a good ramble but this time we are here to celebrate the release of his latest LP "Worthy"

He's a great singer and fully engaged lover of the romance of music making. Record making!

Link to his stuff!

The music that you'll hear peppered throughout this episode comes from a band called Vxriable

And their latest release "taking no prisoners"

I know one of the members Josh as he was so instrumental in the making of the live video for my show at Turner hall here in Nashville when I performed my latest album "places of unknowning"

here is a link to a track from that

He really put the hours in and I was super happy when I got an email from him about music he's made. I was taken aback in a great way. A man of many talents !!

Latest Release: TAKING NO PRISONERS (spotify) Bandcamp

Welcome Charl of Telepathic Instruments :)

you've doubtless seen this fun looking box known as orchid floating around the interwebs in various high-impact ads and also you may have noticed its notable collaboration with the famed musician Tame Impala, who was the brainchild behind the device.

I've always been curious about the Orchid, and we chat about its evolution and history and reveal what it was originally for and how it came to be a real box.

Kicking off 2026 with a bang

Congrats to my Emmy winning guests Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein for their epic work as the band Survive and notable of late for making the many hours of music that score the rather popular show Stranger Things which just wrapped for the last time with its season finale.

Great to peek behind the curtain as it were as we get into the pure substance of their process. Unlock the clues in this episode and you too will certainly be up for an Emmy if you're as tireless and talented as them !

Thanks to Ableton for sponsoring this episode

I get into the MOVE in a rare nitty.

I took the box the climbing gym to do a little against the clock action

here's a link to the move. I can really recommend it
