6: Kelly Kelbel of Make Noise + Nathanael talks Miles Davis

Annelise and Mark are back with the second episode of Sticker and Sleeve of 2020! We took a short break to focus on in-store happenings and are excited to get the pod back in full swing. Joining us for this episode we have special guest Kelly Kelbel, co-founder of Make Noise. She tells the tale of the modular synthesizer company’s growth from a tiny in-house operation in Marshall to an international boutique synth powerhouse based in West Asheville (across the street from Harvest!). Hear about their journey from Chicken Alley to creating instruments used by folks you may have heard of, including Thom Yorke and Aphex Twin. Staff guest Nathanael paints a beautiful portrait explaining why a particular Miles Davis song speaks to him deeply, and repeatedly. AK quizzes Mark on his rock geography again and finally throws him a coupla curveballs. Complete with actual music this episode! Have a listen!
