1 hr 15 min - Hauschka
"Hauschka" is the solo project of German pianist, composer and producer Volker Bertelmann.
Volker's approach to music is described as "Prepared Piano", a technique which sees him experiment with the piano by placing objects between the strings to create new and unique sounds. It is a technique which he discovered completely by accident, before he found that other pianists have been doing the same thing, going back as far as the 1940's, and that there was a name for it.
Join Jay and Jesse as they discuss Volker's history and approach to music. Plus hear some choice selects, as well as possibly some embarrassing old material from Volker's early days in music.

1 hr 15 min - Unknown Mortal Orchestra
"Unknown Mortal Orchestra" is the musical project from singer, guitarist and songwriter Ruban Nielson.
Ruban was born in Darwin Australia, but moved to New Zealand when he was a child. His first artistic inclinations were towards illustration, being influenced by comic books ranging from Spiderman to Spawn. Despite having parents that were heavily into music, it wasn't until Ruban turned 19 that he finally decided to learn the guitar. He formed a band with his brother called "The Mint Chicks" and eventually went on tour, supporting well known artists, such as The White Stripes.
It would be a decade later, after moving with his family to Portland Oregon, that Ruban would eventually create the "Unknown Mortal Orchestra" moniker. A project spawned from working away in his basement home recording studio, and leading to a surprising turn of events that would land him a record deal.
This is a fascinating story, and probably one of our longest episodes so far. We hope you enjoy the conversation.

1 hr 24 min - El Michels Affair
Leon Michels grew up in New York, picking up the Saxophone while he was in high school. His teachers introduced him to early jazz from artists such as Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington.
It was his encounter with the musicians that would go on to form "Budos Band" that introduced him to the world of deep funk and afrobeat, and from there Leon would go on to experiment with his own recordings, initially on a multitrack reel-to-reel recorder a friend had gifted him, and eventually to putting out his own music under the "El Michels Affair" moniker.
Leon's career has also seen him work on projects for high profile artists such as "Lana Del Rey" and being sampled by producers working with "Beyonce".
On this episode Jay and Jesse dive deeper into Leon's back catalogue as well as his approach and workflow to making music.
