Mike Rugnetta and the Field Recorder
03/07/24 • 85 min
Today we're joined by Mike Rugnetta, a sound explorer of many forms. We get into music, podcasting, and a bit of sonic philosophy. Mike teaches us about field recorders, specifically the Sound Devices MixPre-3, and how they've been a part of his creative output through the years. Expect discussions of the meditative nature of capturing and manipulating sound, the value of a ping pong ball, and why Mike nearly chose a hard drive as his object. Oh and of course if you have an opinion on Kierkegaard's favorite pedal, drop us a line at 505-ODD-HOGS.

Andrew Tasselmyer and the Elektron Octatrack MKII
Today we're joined by Andrew Tasselmyer, prolific musician you may know from his solo work or as a member of Hotel Neon, Gray Acres, and Mordançage. Andrew and Andy have a long friendship, and Dan gets to meet Andrew for the first time. After some chat about technical difficulties and our favorite instrument mods, we get right into the Elektron Octatrack MKII, and Andy and Dan nod their heads along as if they understand half of what's being talked about. It's a deep dive on a deep device from the deep mind of Andrew Tasselmyer. Dig in!

Randall Taylor (Amulets) and the Tascam 414
Today we're joined by Randall Taylor of Amulets to talk about a four track tape machine: the Tascam 414. We start the podcast with a full circle moment, then follow Randall's journey with tape: how he got started with it, how its particular quirks and challenges inspire the music he creates both live and on record, and generally why it's worth the hassle. We also get a tour of some pedals around his room, hear about the freedom of an uncomplicated setup with his project Jenny Haniver, and answer the burning question: what's the best song from the 90's?
