Hypothetical is shapeshifting fiction. It's an anthology of stories that blur the line between what's real and not real. In this episode, Mackenzie Laehn and I talk about the album itself, as well as the fun stuff surrounding the album, its creation, and the experience of it. You’ll get to hear Mac’s perspective about mixing the album, as well. There’s also spoilers for some hidden things about the album, so if you’d rather experience Hypothetical unspoiled, then I suggest that you go to the Hypothetical page to experience it all yourself, first.

Barclay Howarth, also known as Clay Bar, is a multidisciplinary artist and business owner. She co-owns Mycelium Gallery, a woman-owned and family-owned art space. It's much more than a gallery, though. It's overflowing with community art, classes, events, live music, and more. Barclay talks about their journey through the art world, how Mycelium Gallery came to be, and all of the deep and fun questions that makes Bit Depth what it is. Get to know Clay Bar!

Bit Depth has existed since March of 2016. In that time, I've done 356 episodes. I've learned a lot about podcasting during that time. From November of 2023 to June of 2025, there were no episodes published on Bit Depth. I owe you an explanation for that. Mackenzie Laehn, as a big fan of the podcast and my friend, guides the conversation. This episode is a deep dive into what Bit Depth is, how it has grown and changed over time, where it's going, and what I've been up to in the meantime.

On the second episode with Brett Fieldcamp, we discuss Oklahoma weather, our local music scene, Brett's musical influences, and much more.

Brett Fieldcamp is the owner of Oklahoma City Free Press, as well as the human behind Meteorology, his musical project where he gets to meander in loops, electronics, and guitar expressions. He also hosts On The Scene, a radio show on KGOU where he interviews locals involved in the arts, culture, and entertainment worlds of Oklahoma.

If you're listening on your preferred podcast app, you can also find the video of this podcast on YouTube! Link is with the rest of my links at the bottom.

The song by Meteorology playing at the end is "Competitive Martyrdom", from his album Every Last Monday. You can buy it on Bandcamp here:

Bit Depth interviews are back!

Brett Fieldcamp is the owner of Oklahoma City Free Press, as well as the human behind Meteorology, his musical project where he gets to meander in loops, electronics, and guitar expressions. He also hosts On The Scene, a radio show on KGOU where he interviews locals involved in the arts, culture, and entertainment worlds of Oklahoma. We talked about journalism and music, and how those connect. And, of course, we dive into Brett's philosophy. We get into how he grew up in Moore and how he had to defend himself and his philosophy in school. All this and more on the return of Bit Depth!

Hello, and again, welcome to Bit Depth. I'm Santiago Ramones. I have an album called Hypothetical. Every month, I’ve been breaking down every element in each track on the album, and this is the last one.

“Hypothetical” is the final track on Hypothetical. This track is the culmination of years and years of work on this album as a songwriter, composer, producer, and performer. This sound collage incorporates sounds from every track on the album. You can think of it as a sonic scavenger hunt.

Hello, and again, welcome to Bit Depth. I'm Santiago Ramones. I have an album called Hypothetical. Every episode, you will hear me break down every element in the next track on the album until I've run out of tracks.

"Letting Go” is the thirteenth track on Hypothetical. It has featured vocals from Nia Moné. This is a song about breaking up, and how the failures of toxic masculinity result in the end of many relationships.

“Without Us” is the tenth track on Hypothetical. I wrote it when I was in high school and it’s about how school sucks. It also features backing vocals from seph(ra). Let’s dive into all the sounds on this track.
