Conjecture Time

Chris sat down with Ryan Andersen (music producer/engineer/instructor) for an extended chat revolving around all aspects of music production. We talk about education and how he came up in the music business, stories and experiences (working with Nickelback, AC/DC, Bryan Adams, etc) and we do get a little bit nerdy with some gear talk and behind the scenes studio stuff.

In this solocast, Christian scratches the surface of Edward Bernays (mastermind in public relations and propaganda, nephew of Freud), shares a few original acapella beats, and tries to understand the gut microbiota. @suntemplestudios  

Bryce and Bryn (@bryciferal and @BrynLevy) join me at the studio for an impromptu podcast. These two have a vast knowledge base and we barely scratched the surface. I plan to sit down with each of them individually in the future for some more focused discussion, but there's something magical about just "seeing what happens" too. We talk about: tortured artists, Run the Jewels, binaural beats, soundwaves, surreal reality, homelessness, Snowden, conspiracies, Paul Stanley crowd banter, WTF, Steve Albini, smartphone etiquette, Internet Day, South Park, crack, That Mitchell and Webb Look, censorship...

This episode features Neal Garand, Jon Cey, and Chris Douglas (3/4 of Sparky) on their way from Saskatoon to Calgary to play at Calgary Metalfest in June of 2015. The drive is long and the conversation is varied. This first half of our chat touches on: This Observer Effect study, weather balloon Larry, knowledge vs imagination, drunk in church, the origin of embalming, funerals, and natural burial. A few nods to past Sparky past experiences and inside joke-speak is a must with friends of 15+ years. Intro track: "TIME" from #Humanimation by Sparky on Twitter:@NealzG@Jon_e_say@toneshifter
