Demonic Sweaters Podcast

David Elsener, a gentleman and the creator of the experimental video and audio project, Fornax Void, stopped by via Skype by way of Lucerne Switzerland! We had an amazing talk about the internet’s never ending nostalgia craze, vintage computers, VHS recording, 3D modeling and animation in blender, using vintage software in modern times, and David’s unheard chiptune LP made entirely on commodore 64s (that I’m trying to get him to release on Anthill Recordings) David’s site http://fornaxvoid.com/His’ video for Kaus Johann Grobe http://www.videowizards.ch/?con=display&displaycon=traum Music:Christopher Quattro (The Cassingles) - http://anthillrecordings.com/2014/01/31/the-cassingles-future-future-house/Fornax Void - https://fornaxvoid.bandcamp.com/ Demonic Sweaters – 1988, Passed Out On The Couch - http://anthillrecordings.com/2013/07/30/demonic-sweaters-basement-tapes/

 

Episode #12 - Will Scecina | Being a working musician and the meaning of life

My old friend Will Scecina stopped by on Skype and we had an amazing chat about being a professional "working musician" and the things that it takes to make a living playing music in today's world. This is what Will does. He plays corporate gigs, weddings, entertainment gigs, covers and nearly all other types of live gigs that generate income.

We also talk about the public's value, or lack of value towards music in general, and how somebody who understands the details of an art form will most likely value it more than those that do not.

We also touched on homelessness, poverty, economics, animal rights and how to get started in becoming a professional musician. Will was a great guest and we had a great talk. Will's website http://www.willscecinamusic.com/

 We had a great talk about his documentary, what Vaporwave is, how the younger millennials are exposed to far more media than all generations of the past, how intellectual property is a dying concept. We also speculated about what media and the internet will be like in the future, performing live, effort or lack of effort in music, is Vaporwave music or art, or both, or neither? is it stealing?what makes certain types of Vaporwave unsettling, and how the internet is making younger generations far more global reaching than those that came before them.

Chad Sine of Bixby Studios stopped by once again, this time we were plagued with some Skype technical difficulties, but they were a pretty humorous. We talked about 3D printing, Ash vs Evil Dead, Sharknado Trilogy, awful comic book movies of the 1980s, whether or not Tom Cruise is leaving Scientology or starting a 24 hour Scientology propaganda news network, Scientology's occult history, and misleading movie trailers.

For this episode my best friend Chad Sine is my guest on

Skype and talks about his Special FX art studio, Bixby Studios and some of the

crazy things that happened to him while transporting a life-sized Samurai

model he made in Tampa. We also get into the return of Twin Peaks and X-files,

Dexter, Breaking Bad, True Detective, and Bloodline.

I share some weird job interview stories and how Brittany

Spears gives me the bad music equivalent of Stockholm Syndrome. Then Chad gives

us more insight into what it’s like being a freak magnet. We had a great time

on this podcast and it’s definitely entertaining!

All of this with a great soundtrack by The Always People,

The Children of Mu, and Justin Robert.
