Elskavon Podcast

Recently John and I had the chance to catch up and and do a breakdown of our debut collaboration, 'Du Nord', out now on Western Vinyl. This was a bit of a trip down memory lane for us as this album is a culmination of close to two years of work.

We won't spoil too much in the description but dive on in and open the hood on 'Du Nord.' We had a great time making this album and appreciate you taking a listen.

This song was lots of fun to make… and that was the whole point. It was a conscious decision to not overthink things, and to just let things happen with the writing and recording of it. Let’s talk about that mindset, the Yamaha DX7, blending pitched snare samples, Moog Clusterflux, finding random words in thesauruses, and more.

Let's dig into the bones of our Bora York song "I Finally Let My Heart Grow Again."

With this second episode, I'll dig into my song Dusk Line Hills, and the creative decisions behind the writing, recording, and production of it.

With this first episode, I'll dig into my song Skylight, and the creative decisions behind the writing, recording, and production of it.
