Bit Depth

In this rather unique episode, I got to sit down with Aaron Newberry and Michael Trepagnier at Cardinal Song - Michael’s amazing studio in OKC’s backyard. We recorded this just after recording an episode of their podcast, 15 Minutes Of…, where we discussed a topic for… fifteen minutes. That’s their podcast and it’s great and you should listen to it. For Bit Depth, however, we discussed the spectrum of creativity and technicality: instances where one or the other would help, or not, how to combine them, and exist within both at all times, along with some other topics sprinkled in throughout. Before you get too far in to the podcast, though, go check out their stuff:

15 Minutes Of…:

The song that played at the end is the instrumental of a track currently called “Best Coast”, by Aaron Newberry, which is definitely not findable on the Internet because he literally just bounced a mix for this podcast as soon as we finished recording.

The music by me playing at the end of the podcast is from this livestream:

David Hanon is back and we talked about spiritual materialism, power structures, free will, morality, and more! Yes, it seems like I’m always talking about free will, but it’s always a conversation worth having. Even after we stopped recording, we kept on talking about music and spirituality and more, but that’s just for us. Enjoy!

The track at the end is “Water” by Gonzo LeBronzo:

The music by me playing at the end of the podcast is from this livestream:

David Hanon is a multi-instrumentalist, audio engineer, educator, and musician in general. He plays with Gonzo LeBronzo and Neon Cathedral. We talked about his musical journey, career, his spiritual journey, morality, and more! Dave is a great guy and I’m really glad to have had him on, since we had been messaging back and forth and the medium of text isn’t ideal for deep, nuanced conversation, which he’s great at. Get to know David!

The track at the end is “Sidewinder” by Gonzo LeBronzo:

The music by me playing at the end of the podcast is from this livestream:

300 is an arbitrary milestone, but it is a milestone that is valued nonetheless. This episode is unlike any other - I am interviewed by Evan Jarvicks, Chief Executive Weirdo of makeoklahomaweirder.com and he asks his own questions, separate from the usual deep questions on Bit Depth. Once Evan was out of questions, I opened the floor to questions from the audience. We talked about the music industry, morality, free will, forgiveness, and more! It was held live at The Sanctuary, a new venue in Oklahoma City. I’m very grateful for everyone that came out to it. Since this was a live event, I had to do a lot of sound adjustments, so the quality is a little different than normal.

Jon McMillan is back and we talked about takes: not everyone has to have a vocal opinion about everything! We also talked about sex, honesty, relationships, puns, and more!

This is future Santiago to say that there's problematic things on this podcast that I don't agree with/believe in anymore.

Jessica “Justice Cow” Kion is back and we go all over the place talking about family, comedy, YouTube, social media, metamodernism, decentralized agriculture, and how we must worship the almighty ALGORITHM or be banished.

Thomas Who? is back again and he asks me a lot of stuff! We talked about metamodernism and discussed how complex systems have emergent properties, how that applies to racism, building systems towards an ideal, and then we got into why I don’t smoke weed and why he does, drug regulations, free will, and more! It’s quite the trip, and we totally could’ve kept at it all night.

According to him, “Jon McMillan is a United States Congressman who does not accept letters. He often launders drug money through the entertainment industry with endeavors such as stand up comedy, record producing and onlyfans. A huge fan of Star Trek mcmillan plans to move to outer space with the rest of the worlds billionaires, leaving lower income families to fight the impending race war.”
I can vouch for a lot of that except for the typos and absence of an Oxford comma, but that’s on him. Jon McMillan, also known as Teflo $, is a comedian and musician, and we talked about… comedy and music! We also talked about religion, morality, racism, and heroin. Get to know Jon!
