Podcast appearances and mentions of courtney swain

Today we're joined by singer and multi-instrumentalist Courtney Swain, to talk about her first pedal: the Chase Bliss Blooper. We start with some voicemails about musical flubs because silly old Andy goofed the prompt in Discord, then move into the beginnings of Courtney's pedal journey and how it opened up her creative practice. We talk about processing voice through pedals, the different ways Courtney and Andy use Blooper and other Chase Bliss pedals, blending of effects in parallel, how the aesthetic of a pedal designer can inform the aesthetic of a performer, and how creativity isn't a well to dry up but a self-sustaining ecosystem. It's a big one, get into it!For more info and to find Courtney's music: https://www.courtneyswain.com/Buy yourself a MAW or Signal Blender: http://www.oldbloodnoise.comJoin the conversation in Discord: https://discord.com/invite/PhpA5MbN5uFollow us on the socials: @chourtkneey, @oldbloodnoise, @andyothling, @danfromdsfLeave us a voicemail at 505-633-4647!

Courtney Swain shares the story behind her 2017 EP, Growing Pains.

Just back from China from a three week clinic tour and in two weeks heading back to Australia and New Zealand with his band Childish Japes to perform clinics and band performances, not to mention ANOTHER album. JP Bouvet maintains a high level of productivity and has for years. JP is a really prime example of someone who respects the principle of “earning your place” as he realizes to be top tier in the drumming/music industry, you have to make sure people don’t forget you and move on. So he keeps his schedule full and is always working at evolving and pushing the envelope. This interview goes over some of what he experienced in China during his clinic tour and what touring the world is like for him. Being that the week that this podcast is published, Childish Japes’ new album is being released to add to the three singles that you may have heard up until this point. I think as a band they are really on to something and as it develops further, I anticipate that we will be continuing to hear good sounds from them. We get into quite a lot of detail about the band’s formation and what the general mission was for this band. In my opinion, I feel their reason for making music will generate great results and they will enjoy doing it for longer than had they simply created music for fame. At the end of the episode JP and I talk about the reality behind his 2011 Guitar Centre Drum Off and Roland V-Drums competition wins, in the same year, and what that ACTUALLY meant to his career. JP makes a lot of sense here and I hope people listening remember this part of the interview specifically. The facts presented by JP are not projections. When you win a major competition you will have people’s attention for a little while and eventually, if you make no effort to preserve your popularity, you will be forgotten. This message is so key to understand. It takes years of your life to even be skilled enough to win a competition like Guitar Centre drum off… You have to then try to win and lose…and then try again and lose again. In JP’s case it took him multiple attempts before he won. All of this prepares you for the many letdowns your life and career will throw at you. And then finally you win. But that is just the beginning for the workload to now execute and carve a career. Which then takes the rest of your life. JP is a drummers’ drummer. He’s really honest with himself with who he is but also who he wants to be and he knows there aren’t shortcuts…if you want to last. He is most definitely on a good path for longevity and good public interest. I think on a level beyond simply playing drums, he understands the moves he needs to continue making and the work that goes along with that and is fully committed to that. Make sure to check out Childish Japes and their full length album released August 30th and other future works. Also scope out JP’s website for quality lesson videos at www.jpbouvetmusic.com.
