Matt Brown returns to the podcast to chat about his work with Jon Anderson, revisions in the studio, and what to expect from the new release of his Ultimate Drum Production course.

----

“Watch, observe, actively watch, take notes, and then do. That’s the easiest way to learn. And consistently repeating the “doing” process is how you get better.” - Matt Brown

Producers Carson Slovak, Grant McFarland, and Rivers of Nihil guitarist Brody Uttley join us for a discussion about their work together.

----

Carson, Grant, and Brody worked together on multiple Rivers of Nihil albums, the latest being Where Owls Know My Name. The guys talk about why this has proven to be such a solid team, the unique workflow and techniques they’ve developed, and how they handled some of the many curveballs on this album. And despite a few quick detours into everything from aviation to AI along the way-- but somehow, it all ends up coming back to what ties them together: the music.

----

“Even if AI gets to the point where it can create music on the level that a human being can, I feel like it’ll always be pulling from examples that were created by humans. Because I think no matter how far down the line we get with AI, you’re probably not going to be able to simulate something like childhood trauma, the loss of a loved one, or a divorce.” - Brody Uttley

Professor William Chaplin is a professor at the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Birmingham, and leads the Asteroseismology program of the NASA Kepler Mission.

----

We’re thrilled to have Professor William Chaplin on the podcast this week to look at audio from the fascinating perspective of someone who focuses on what could be loosely termed the sound of stars. We dive deep with him on some incredibly interesting topics like how sound works in space, how he’s able to measure the resonances of objects that are countless light years away, and how all of that can inform the way we think about sound here on earth.

----

“Think of the total energy bound up in the sound that’s contained in a star. It’s hugely, hugely, vastly bigger than the energy that you have tied up in someone playing a musical instrument. But it’s the same fundamentals, the same principles.” - Professor William Chaplin

----

“It seems like with every generation, people become more self-qualified to be critics of whatever form of media they’re consuming and more outspoken about it.” - Chris Kelly
