Send us a textLuckily, there's far more conversations happening about musicians' mental health these days. But how might gender impact our experience of things like depression and anxiety? And how might this differ in a music technology setting, specifically? Because, while this is something that's often touched upon in wider conversations around gender and music technology, it's rarely fully explored in its own right.Inside this conversation, Isobel chats with musicians' therapist and counsellor, Denise Devenis about the intricacies and complexities of being a woman or gender minority in music tech spaces and how this can contribute to burnout specifically. They also discuss what the industry can do better to prevent these challenges, how Denise works specifically with musicians in her private practice and how you can access support if you're affected by any of the issues we discuss in this episode.

Dan was moved to reach out to a seemingly anonymous person, based solely on liking his concert photography. And through that, Dan talks to Jersey Wall (or Eric, as he's known to some) for one of his first podcast appearances ever. Eric talks about growing up moving a lot, his dad's record collection, going to shows as a rite of passage into growing up, and his lifelong love of technology and innovation. Eric made his way to Philadelphia in 2009 and immediately found the music community to be not only full of great bands and shows, but also a great place to start delving into photography. Dan and Eric talk about the importance of comminity, of having something to offer, and how to ride the line between fan and contributor. Eric posts his photos on his Jersey Wall Instagram regularly, and recently did the promo photos for Philly band Soft Idiot (there's even a track from them at the end).

The NJ post-grunge band Baron Praxis recently sent me some wave files of their 2023 EP Ecocidal; and I was hooked after listening to the first twenty seconds of lead single “Nice To Meat You” … thanks in part to that heavy, dirty bass line! So, I invited the guys in for a podcast and had the pleasure of talking with Brian and Justin from the band. Our conversation touched upon the EP's theme which promotes taking care of our planet and all of the species that live upon it. We spoke a lot about how Baron Praxis operates … from their DIY perspective, to writing music, to rehearsing, and what it's like touring in that one-of-a-kind van! The group's music is passionate and heavy; and it will gut-punch you with a force of energy you might not expect. Take some time today to listen to this really fun podcast, and if you're a grungy rock fan like me … Baron Praxis may just become your new favorite band the moment you start listening to their music!Keep in touch with Baron Praxis!Opening Podcast music by Supermutt

It felt incredible to get back on stage at the DIY Musician Conference in Austin. Trust me, this was worth the three year wait! There were so many takeaways from this years conference!

Since the 1970s, there has been a rich, global lineage of broadly guitar-based music scenes which have enacted a political critique of the commercial music industries under the banner of ‘DIY'. DIY music practice has involved taking control of production and distribution processes and lowering barriers to participation and performance, as a form of cultural resistance. In DIY Music and the Politics of Social Media (Bloomsbury, 2020), Ellis Jones analyses the effects of the internet and social media on the inner lives and the communal music-making of practitioners in contemporary DIY music scenes. Jones provides a nuanced and original reading of the points of convergence and (substantial) divergence between the emancipatory and participatory rhetoric of digital platforms and the ethical imperatives of DIY music, past and present. He argues that the imperatives toward self-branding, commodification and individualization that are baked into the affordances of social media are fundamentally inimical to the convivial, oppositional politics of DIY music. As digital platforms seep into and mediate more and more facets of everyday life, this book underscores the need for a renewed critique of the conditions of cultural production – and offers valuable points of departure for forms of culturally resistant DIY musicking in the 21st Century.

Jess Shoman of the band Tenci joins Reset to discuss her music, recent tour and Chicago's DIY music scene ahead of her show with Mia Joy at Sleeping Village on Sunday. GUEST: Jess Shoman, Chicago singer and songwriter

A record is the sum total of countless artistic decisions. Oftentimes the magic of a great song lies in the fact that it has the ability to transcend genres and work in a wide range of different styles. Because of that, a record is also the sum total of countless artistic decisions beyond the scope of just songwriting. In this episode, the True Level Studio guys discuss how certain production choices at every stage of the process can inform the genre of a song and why those choices matter. The topics they cover include: -How composition choices like lyrics and rhythm can imply a specific genre-How the specific sounds and instruments you choose impact the way a song is digested and perceived-Mixing and Mastering decisions based on reference tracks and the intention platform for the song-Loudness norms for different genres - and does it really matter-Visual components like artwork and live performance setups and how they can influence the listeners perceptionFor more info, visit our website at:www.truelevelstudio.com/therecordprocessFollow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/therecordprocess/https://www.instagram.com/truelevelstudio/?hl=enShow Hosts:Casey Cavaliere (Producer / Mixer / Guitarist of The Wonder Years)www.CaseyCavaliere.comwww.thewonderyearsband.comIG: https://www.instagram.com/case_rock/?hl=enTom Conran (Audio Engineer / Producer / Acoustician )www.TomConranAudio.comIG: https://www.instagram.com/thetomconran/?hl=enAdam Ackerman (Songwriter / Recording Artist / Multi-Instrumentalist)www.AtomSonicConcepts.comIG: https://www.instagram.com/theadamackerman/?hl=enShare any thoughts, questions, comments, or suggestions with us via email at:TrueLevelStudio@gmail.comArtwork by Holly Smith ( https://www.instagram.com/_hollysmith/?hl=en )Music:Main Theme - "Almas" by Casey CavaliereAdditional Music by Tom Conran
