If you want to make music that is true to who you are, you have to ask yourself these 3 questions:

Why do you make music?

Who are you making music for?

What impact do you want your music to have?

On this episode we explore these questions more in depth and why they’re important in today’s fast-paced environment.

We welcome 2021 with this new episode where we explore the concept of unity in music. Vedad Theophilus is a Persian singer living in Spain, so she creates a fusion of flamenco with traditional Persian styles. She sings both in Spanish and in Farsi (Persian). The blend is just outstanding and you just have to listen to the episode to hear how well she blends the two styles. She also shares with us about her spirituality and how important chanting prayers is for her. While editing the episode I couldn’t restrain my tears from hearing her singing.

For me, like many others, 2020 has been full of change. I've been on a hiatus with the podcast, because we're moving from Bogotá, Colombia to Vancouver, Canada. This episode gets real. I talk about how life priorities can get shifted and how it's hard to balance all of them at the same time. I talk from my personal experience, challenges and learnings.

Technology obviously takes on a huge role in the way we make music these days. A computer and software engineer has practically touched every aspect of the chain: from the electric guitar you’re playing, the guitar pedals and effects, amplifiers, recording equipment, obviously the computer itself and the software, microphones and preamplifiers, to the monitors and headphones you use to listen, and much much more. On this episode we get to talk to Eric Tarr, who is the founder of HackAudio.com, contributor to TheProAudioFiles.com, he’s a professor of Audio Engineering Technology at Belmont University in Nashville, and he’s a musician, producer and engineer. We get to analyze how exactly technology has played a role in music, where it’s going, and how it’s also had its drawbacks and why we should be cautious with the technology.

Este episodio te pone a cuestionar ¿qué es la música? De que no es solamente lo que se escucha en la radio, en Spotify o las rancheras que tu abuela pone a las 4 de la mañana. En este episodio exploramos el arte sonoro. No vamos a mirar las características típicas de la música como el ritmo, melodía o letra, sino que miramos el sonido en sí y su existencia. Sin duda si es tu primera vez escuchando el arte sonoro, ten un poco de paciencia. Tal vez te cueste un tiempo en entenderlo. No hay problema. La intención no es que salgas de este episodio como hincha #1 del arte sonoro, sino que puedas abrir tu mente y perspectiva acerca de los sonidos que nos rodean o se pueden crear y la experiencia que se tiene al simplemente escuchar. Exploremos el arte sonoro con artista sonora Diana Medina de Bogotá, Colombia.

Mucha de la música de las masas está dirigida a la juventud, pero es cuestionable el cómo la música esté impactando a esta población. Un proyecto en Ecuador ha estado explorando el rol de la música dirigida a los jóvenes entre 12-15 años y tratando de crear letra y ritmos que reflejen las complejidades de su realidad y no satisfacerse con lo que se escucha en la radio.

Katty Scoggin es una representante del grupo y nos cuenta acerca de cómo están enfrentando este reto tan importante. También alcanzamos a hablar acerca de temas como la composición colectiva de música, las redes sociales, la tecnología y mucho más.

Too often we can be complacent with the way we describe our music or the music we listen to in simple terms: happy or sad. The reality is the spectrum of our human emotions is much more than that. On this episode, Hope Littwin—singer, songwriter, composer, and overall musical creative—helps us understand how music should reflect that wide spectrum of human emotions and how we should embrace the nuances of what we’re feeling.
