Welcome back to Off the Beaten Clef!

Today we've got a special episode for you. We're sitting down with Ben Hirschfield, an incredibly talented record producer out of San Jose, California who works at Nu-Tone Recording Studio in Pittsburg, California. Coincidentally enough, Ben worked on the Soft Contact record that was discussed with Royce a few weeks ago.

Today, we’ll be talking about his journey into music production, the challenges and joys of working behind the scenes, and what it takes to bring an artist’s vision to life in the studio. So, grab your headphones and get ready for a conversation about the art, the science, and the heart behind making music.

Thanks for joining us this week Ben! Check out his instagram to see all the fun projects he is working on.

Welcome to Off the Beaten Clef! This week, we are discussing bands that have been making music 15+ years on, with the bands (not) past their prime! It was a fun exercise in thinking of bands that are still creatively stretching their sound, or have taken a break and returned to their caliber. Normally after a certain number of albums or years playing, the band’s creativity wanes, but we are celebrating bands that are still doing it - and doing it well. Thanks for listening!

Welcome to Off the Beaten Clef! This week, we have Michael, Anthony, and Dominic of Good Hangs on. We were so hyped about their recent single “DO IT FOR DALE (hope my love will quit)” after talking about it on last week’s episode, and now we are so fortunate to have the guys on to chat the inner workings of their band. We discuss their DIY approach - from recording, producing, and making the artwork for their releases. We talk about their creative process, vibe sense and their worst gigs. It is an impressive machine they have going, and we are thankful to be a part of their journey in a small way. 

There’s also a big surprise for the end of the episode, where we do a blind reaction to their new single “The Apology Song” with the band. You won’t want to miss it! Thanks to Michael, Anthony and Dominic (who lives in the city) for joining us this week, we had one helluva time.

Last but not least, listen to all the new recent singles from Good Hangs and get excited about their album, “Extremely Fragile Human Being” out this December!
