Hello,

Brian Funk here with some great new episodes of the Music Production Podcast. I've learned a ton and left each conversation feeling inspired and ready to make music!

Keep Creating with MrEdRollo

Ed Rollo is a musician, educator, and Ableton Certified Trainer. He creates straight-talking, no-nonsense videos for his YouTube channel that help musicians see past the empty promises of hacks and shortcuts. Ed runs the online education community mredrollo+.

As a fan of his video content and overall philosophical approach to music making, I was very excited to talk with Ed. He did not disappoint. Ed shared wisdom about his background and career. He pointed out truths about music making and offered some helpful approaches to growing as an artist.

Capturing Life in Recordings with Peter Gregson

Peter Gregson is a renowned Composer, Cellist, and Deutsche Grammophon recording artist. His latest album, Patina, combines strings and analog electronic instruments in an effort to capture the humanity and life in each instrument for emotional impact. Peter composes for television, film, and games, including placements in the film Blackbird and HBO's The New Pope.

Peter and I spoke about his work as a composer and producer. We focused quite a bit on capturing life in recordings. Peter shared some interesting thoughts about the way microphone placement can bring out the "grit" in the cello, and how he uses techniques like this to give his music a "lived-in" feeling, not unlike a favorite pair of jeans.

Writing Music for TV, Film, and Games with Sam Wale

Sam Wale is a musician and producer, who writes music for TV, film, and games. Sam is the VP of Production for Alibi Music, a provider of licensed music and sound FX for all types of multimedia.

Sam and I spoke about his role at Alibi Music and how producing music for licensing is different than producing music as an artist. Sam shared his story and experience which is helpful for any producer looking to get into licensing their music.

I'd like to thank everyone that has listened to the podcast. We just passed the 1 million downloads mark! It's hard to imagine the enormity of that number. I'm so happy that the show has brought so many people joy and inspiration. I know this number is not 1 million different people listening once, it's many of you coming back episode after episode.
