Too Much Not Enough

Darius has OPINIONS about how to cook things with fire. Emma does not. He explains the difference between grilling and smoking, the pros and cons of gas grills versus charcoal grills, and the definition of cookout versus barbecue. Emma has a lot of very good questions like "can you smoke vegetables" and "can you smoke a turkey" and "can you use whisky instead of lighter fluid". Also she has harsh words for Christmas pudding. Here's Darius' 2008 blog post that inspired this episode.

In what’s definitely our most niche episode so far, Emma introduces Darius to the life and work of twentieth-century Australian composer Percy Aldridge Grainger, a folksong collector, failed innovator, and all-round extremely unusual (and highly problematic) person. Links: Rainer Linz on Grainger’s composition machines, Philip Eames' quantitative study of Grainger's harmonic development, Matthew Guerrieri on navigating Grainger's reprehensible beliefs alongside his music. Content warnings: racism, some discussion of incest, BDSM, and suicide... Percy Grainger, everyone.

In this episode, we discuss audio sampling, from hip hop to found sound recordings, passing through technical methods and meanings to the influence of copyright law on musical practice. What’s recontextualisation and what’s theft? Who gets to decide? We have no idea. But maybe after this podcast you will.

In our second (also somewhat meta) episode, we talk about the place of a creator in their creative work. We discuss confessionalism, navigating the fine line between relatability and specificity, and how identity factors into the reception of an autobiographical artwork. Links: I Love Dick by Chris Kraus, a short history of Plains ledger art, Dwayne Wilcox's ledger art, Emmy the Great and Joni Mitchell on being labeled "confessional".

In our very first episode we get, well, kind of meta. We talk about our creative processes and what led us to being the kind of people who just make tons of stuff and put it on the internet. Topics discussed include: creative constraint as defense mechanism, the ease and/or terror of collaboration, and whether you can predict your own success.
