In this episode I chat with Scott Solter about artistic insecurity and what it means to get in your own way; we also talk about the benefits of being mean, and what he calls "bringing the pathology" to a musical career.

Solter is known primarily as a recording engineer, producer, and mixer who has worked with super-talents like St. Vincent, John Vanderslice, Spoon, The Mountain Goats, Maps and Atlases, Superchunk, Bombadil, and Fred Frith. An artist himself, Solter is a member of the ambient group, Boxharp, and has also released two solo albums, The Brief Light and One River. He has also released a number of album remixes of original albums by John Vanderslice, Pattern is Movement and others.
