    In a world of AI generated content it's never been easier to get art fast. But artwork generation is more consistently being put behind a paywall and increasingly AI artwork is being called out for being so. So what are the alternatives for the independent musician on a budget? This week we discuss ways to get decent art done on the back of real human input and for a price.

Finally Randomwaves have a lil' kickstarter known as Drumboy and Synthgirl. Tese quirkly electronic boxes are jam packed with ideas. We're taking a look at what they've released

    Another level of sound demos this week as we're checking out the latest soft synth from MNTRA Instruments 'Vespera' an electro-acoustic synthesiser that combines physical resynthesis with tube modular oscillations. We're taking you through the UI and having a look at how it sounds while discussing what we'd use it for.

  • 111: Crafting a Narrative Through Music with Jonathan Goode | Behringer Vintage Demo & Walkthrough

    This week, our new label mate Jonathan Goode joins us on the show for an interview and discussion about his debut release 'Juxtaposition Junction'. Together we'll be dissecting narrative and story telling with music as we gain greater understanding of Jonathan's motivations, inspirations and sonic expeditions.

    We'll also be taking a look at the new VINTAGE synth from Behringer. A free VST supposedly modeled on retro synths like the Sequential Prophet and Oberheim OB-X. Behringer say it's worth $100... we'll run through the UI and sound banks so you can make the decision for yourself :)

  • 106: We’re tired of talking about Spotify, does James Blake have the answer with Vault.fm?

    As the world of streaming keeps digging itself a grave, we look to potential new alternatives that have cropped up. Namely vault.fm and Untitled.stream. Are these outlets worth considering for music monetisation?

    Speaking of music monetisation, the lid has blown on Sweden's most streamed artist, we examine the breaking story.
