@izzy is a phenomenal artist. they’re a generous teacher. they’re a resourceful community builder. they’re a force of nature.

and yes, they’re also the voice of w/.

though most of the recording was unfortunately sacrificed to the digital audio gods, I believe this slice nicely represents the lost time. Izzy remained open to all topics, revealing a sharp intellect and deep curiosity that pushed our conversation into unexpected places.

if you’re in NYC, you have to check them out in residence at planetarium (nowadays) – previous guests include Laraaji, Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe, and Four Tet.

I’m really thankful this bit was salvageable and I can’t wait for you all to hear it :slight_smile:

a few months ago, @carltesta and @wrmhmn graciously agreed to participate in the first live-audience Sound + Process! it was a snowy afternoon in Chicago, but some really great friends made it out (tyty, y’all) and we were treated to a wonderful discussion between these fantastic artists. plus, great performances from each! Carl performed solo bass with his custom live processing environment, Sway, before Meredith capped off the afternoon with a sneak peak of her developing post-Ghastly cowboy series.

it was a really lovely way to spend a Saturday. I hope more of these happen, so please hit me up if you’re ever coming through Chicago <3

@jwm’s music is an alcove you’ve never noticed, in a park you’ve walked through a hundred times.

Over the last eight years, he’s released 20+ albums of solo and collaborative work.

Through guitar, tape loops, digital and analog synthesis, Josh has established an enchanting lexicon. His music is an ever-evolving conversation about personal and philosophical challenges. Its tones and timbres speak with curiosity and humility.

Josh keeps his practice approachable and immediate, which defies stagnation. If you’ve been feeling uninspired lately, this is required listening – working on this edit healed a lot of raw spots for me and I hope that Josh’s presence + energy are a salve for others.

Ruby wants to know why there was no discussion of his growing love for dachshunds.

one of the things that really resonated with me throughout this fantastic episode was the discussion on crafting a sound journey in medias res; a story already in progress. and yet not losing sight of the personal aspect. reaching out to people; questions, connections, empathy, compassion. slowing down to let moments happen, and sharing them with the listener.

i’ve always noticed a certain warmth in the melodic/textural vibes and titles of josh’s music. hearing him articulate some of how that comes about–the blend of intentionality and intuition, the discovery along the way, the right amount of time needed to communicate something, familiarity–was really wonderful. that type of intimacy is inspiring; something i’ll be thinking about very much in my future work. i’m likeminded in desiring to share my heart, in a way, through song.

thanks so much for sharing, @jwm & @dan_derks.

Just checked this out for the first time today, starting with the most recent episode with @jwm. Lovely thoughtful stuff all around, including a lot that resonates with my own processes. Definitely have some new music I need to investigate now. :slight_smile:

@josephbranciforte is a multi-instrumentalist, recording and mixing engineer, composer, sound artist, and programmer based out of New York City. This episode was edited by Joseph himself, which allowed me to approach it primarily as a listener. And I’ve been must struck by Joseph’s balance between conviction and query.

Though much is covered in this half hour, Joseph’s reflections inspired so many questions for me. What happens when you shake the dust of the day-to-day a little? When you inject a new choice into the established theme? What happens when you dive in head and heart first?

I hope y’all dig this one and, as always, thank you each for making lines.

Will it be available via Apple Podcasts? It’s not there yet… looking forward!

I think it just takes a bit of time for iTunes to pull the feed – it’s on Apple Podcasts now :wink:

awesome news!
i was motivated to dive in and start actively working with max after seeing this recently

due to resolution it’s hard to see all the objects in the frame . i gradually realized he must be using custom abstractions (which i now use too)

great sounding patch and would love to learn more from it as i continue making progress

edit: finished the podcast and came away (as always) with many points of resonance…especially the comments about oversaturation + limiting ones “diet” or intake of outside stimuli

thanks joseph and dan!

Awesome! Will listen to it today. Thank you Joseph, and thank you Dan. As usual… :blue_heart:

happy to share the patch… it’s really simple… just a [click~] object sending impulses through a filter and a short delay line!

many thanks to @dan_derks for the interview & the fantastic podcast… been an avid listener to these for a while, an honor to be featured.
