Just what the title said! Stoked about some news, we chat a few notes!
Guest and HostGuest: Scott “Shagghie” Scheferman, Artist: Raw. Analogue Techno. | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottscheferman/ | Bandcamp: https://highsage.bandcamp.com/Host: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast & Music Evolves Podcast | Website: https://www.seanmartin.com/Show NotesThe latest episode of Music Evolves brings a fascinating discussion with Scott “Shagghie” Scheferman, a longtime cybersecurity professional and electronic music creator. Host Sean Martin sits down with Scheferman to explore the intersection of creativity, technology, and music—challenging the traditional definitions of hacking and how it applies to the artistic process.The Hacker Mindset in MusicScheferman, who has spent decades working in cybersecurity, explains how his approach to music is deeply influenced by the hacker mindset. Traditionally associated with computers and networks, hacking is about problem-solving, exploration, and pushing boundaries. For Scheferman, that same mentality extends to music—whether modifying effects pedals beyond their intended use, experimenting with modular synthesizers, or applying unconventional methods to sound creation.This perspective reframes the way we think about creativity: hacking isn't just breaking things—it's about finding new ways to build. In music, that could mean repurposing technology, combining analog and digital tools, or embracing unexpected results to drive innovation.The Role of Technology in Music CreationA core theme of the conversation is how technology shapes the way music is created and experienced. From the early days of analog synthesizers to today's AI-driven tools, technology has always played a role in expanding musical possibilities. Scheferman describes his studio setup, filled with modular synthesizers, custom effects pedals, and digital sequencing tools, as an evolving playground for sound experimentation.One of the key takeaways is that while technology can enable creativity, it can also introduce constraints. Whether it's the frustration of a technical failure or the overwhelming options provided by AI-driven music tools, technology isn't just a tool—it's a collaborator. Sometimes, the best results come from working within limitations or intentionally breaking the rules.AI, Automation, and the Future of MusicThe conversation also touches on artificial intelligence and its growing role in music composition. AI tools can generate melodies, suggest chord progressions, and even simulate human-like performances. But does AI-enhanced music lose something essential?Scheferman shares his thoughts on where technology ends and artistry begins. While AI can assist in generating ideas or automating tedious processes, it doesn't replace the human connection to music. He sees AI as a tool for acceleration rather than substitution—something that can help musicians explore new ideas but should not dictate creative choices.This is particularly relevant when it comes to live performance and improvisation. A computer can generate perfect beats and sequences, but can it capture the spontaneous interplay between musicians, the imperfections that make a performance feel alive? That's still an open question.The Human Element in SoundBeyond the technical aspects, Scheferman and Martin discuss the emotional power of music. Whether it's an acoustic guitar, an electrified soundscape, or a fully synthesized production, music has the ability to transport listeners to different states of mind.They reflect on how people connect with sound—how live performances create an irreplaceable energy, how vinyl records provide a tactile experience that digital streaming lacks, and how technology might change the way future generations perceive and create music. The question remains: as digital tools become more dominant, will we continue to crave raw, unprocessed sound?A Collaboration of Sound and EmotionAs the episode wraps up, Scheferman shares a track he created with his wife, Kati Rockit, blending electronic production with rock-influenced vocals. Their collaboration highlights another key theme of the episode—music as dialogue. Whether between humans and technology or between two creative partners, the best results often come from interplay, not isolation.This episode of Music Evolves is a must-listen for anyone interested in how technology and creativity intersect. It challenges assumptions about what it means to be a musician in the digital age and invites listeners to rethink how they interact with sound.

We return from our holiday break with Tyler Gilmore, who you may know as BlankFor.ms! Tyler is most known as an electronic artist, using tape loops, pedals, synths, and other textural elements to create evocative slow-moving songs. It may surprise the listener, then, that his object is the trumpet! It's the instrument that started it all for him, and we all learn about his journey with it, then away from it, and perhaps back to it? Only time will tell. In the meantime, we talk about the bodily experience of instruments, some different things our listeners bought over the holidays, Andy's rabbithole of servicemen strats, and a lot of other things along the way.

Today we're joined by Sean Mackowski of Tallon Electric. Before the episode, we thought his object was going to be an amp, but as we get into it, we realize it's all about The Noise, his new pedal collaboration with the band Alpha Wolf. We talk about pedal usage in modern medal and heavy music in general, and various approaches to gain, octaves, and momentary bursts of sound. This one's inspired by the new wave of players using pedals as instrumental elements of the heaviest riffs around. Also, Andy and I are taken aback when we find out what band Sean used to be in.

Today we're joined by one of the founders of Old Blood Noise Endeavors: Brady Smith! You may know his history with Keeley, Walrus, and Old Blood, but today we're here to talk about his history with a particular amp you may know as Marsnall: the Marshall JMP that's been his mainstay for decades. We start with a lot of discussion of the Eastside Music Supply 10 Year Anniversary party and the fun people and gear we encountered there, then take some voicemails aimed specifically at Brady, then finally get into his object and how it's informed not only his playing but his ear as a pedal designer, through both its presence and its absence.

Today's all about the Old Blood Noise Endeavors Pardner! Well, mostly at least. We begin with the very exciting conclusion of Andy's Wes Borland saga and give confirmation that sometimes you should meet your heroes. Then we throw it to the hogs for questions about the latest pedal from Old Blood Noise Endeavors: an oddball fuzz with an overdriven effects loop referred to as PARDNER. From there we talk about some of our favorite uses of the pedal, naturally meander a bit, and end with some chatter about the upcoming Dark Star.Find PARDNER and other OBNE pedals: http://www.oldbloodnoise.comJoin the conversation in Discord: https://discord.com/invite/PhpA5MbN5uFollow us all on the socials: @relicmusicshop, @oldbloodnoise, @andyothling, @danfromdsfLeave us a voicemail at 505-633-4647!

On today's episode we try something new and add a few “Sounds From The Club House”. We are new to the recording game, and although we have a ton of pedals in the club house, we don't have much recording gear. I tried offering a quick recording of the Diamond Memory Lane V2 to give you and idea of how powerful the EQ section is and how wild yet useful the modulation section is. Please let me know if you like the idea of hearing some sounds and me talking about an individual pedal. Thanks so much for listening and being part of this community! - Justin

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.

Hello dear listener, This week, Matt and I are taking a look at those effects pedals that slightly defy categorisation. The weird delay, the pitch shifting modulator, the lo-fi tape whats-it, the fuzzy synth combobulator - we'll be playing a few sound samples and discussing which ones we think you should add to your collection! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
It's hogs all the way down this week as we're joined by Alex Paul, guitarist in Girih and design and manufacturing brain behind Robot Graves Industries. You might think we talk about aluminum guitar necks, but we get too busy asking the hogline about their favorite Electro Harmonix pedals, then dive deep on Alex's favorite: the HOG Harmonic Octave Generator V1. We talk about the utility of six footswitches vs a suite of MIDI functionality, and the je ne sais quoi of sound quality across pedal versions. We also talk a lot about what it means to perform music, and the way technology can both help and hinder the interaction between artist and audience.Check out Robot Graves: https://robotgraves.com/Listen to Girih: https://girih.bandcamp.com/Buy Old Blood pedals: http://www.oldbloodnoise.comJoin the conversation in Discord: https://discord.com/invite/PhpA5MbN5uFollow us on the socials: @robotgraves, @oldbloodnoise, @andyothling, @danfromdsfLeave us a voicemail at 505-633-4647!
Today we, well, forgive us but: express ourselves. We're joined by Damian Kastbauer of Pedal Brainz to talk all things expression. His journey starts with a gutted Dunlop Crybaby adapted to control the trimpot on an Ibanez DM1100 delay, and leads to his own unique expression control products. We get some calls from the hogs about their favorite pedals to express, and try to give some technical info on both expression and CV while exploring the creative realms that open up when you don't take sound so linearly. Andy and Damian find a commonality in their approach to musical gear setups while Dan periodically reminds the listener that Old Blood just came out with the Expression Ramper X3.Check out Pedal Brainz: https://pedalbrainz.com/Buy Old Blood pedals: http://www.oldbloodnoise.comJoin the conversation in Discord: https://discord.com/invite/PhpA5MbN5uFollow us on the socials: @pedalbrainz, @lostchocolatelab, @oldbloodnoise, @andyothling, @danfromdsfLeave us a voicemail at 505-633-4647!
This one is a bag of chips and also all that, as we're joined by Andon Whitehorn of Lantern Manufacturing. Andon tells us about the Mitsubishi M65850 delay chip, a largely overlooked relative of the infamous PT2399, and how it served as a gateway to designing pedal circuits around esoteric chips. We circle back to some familiar ideas, touching on old technology vs new and the way inspiration can come from limitation, and dive deep on how Andon makes things difficult on himself by prizing process as much as product. We do also yes talk about potato chips.Buy Lantern pedals: https://www.lanternmfg.com/Buy Old Blood pedals: http://www.oldbloodnoise.comJoin the conversation in Discord: https://discord.com/invite/PhpA5MbN5uFollow us on the socials: @lanternmanufacturing, @oldbloodnoise, @andyothling, @danfromdsfLeave us a voicemail at 505-633-4647!
Lets check out some classic pedals together in this episode and the inspiration for some of my favorite Fuzzlord pedals!
Today we're joined by Joel Korte of Chase Bliss! Joel's an inspiring figure in the gear industry, both for his engineering and his being-a-great-human. We get to know his story through the lens of the ZVEX Lo-Fi Loop Junky, a unique design using the ChipCorder voice recording chip to create short, compressed, warbling loops. We learn how Joel found himself at ZVEX, how he went from being a fan of the pedal to reinterpreting its sound as the Instant Lo-Fi Junky, and how he eventually went on to create Chase Bliss. This episode is about perseverance, engineering, and some goofs along the way - get in!Buy Chase Bliss pedals: https://www.chasebliss.com/Listen to Mostly Trees: https://mostlytrees.bandcamp.com/Buy Old Blood pedals: http://www.oldbloodnoise.comJoin the conversation in Discord: https://discord.com/invite/PhpA5MbN5uFollow us on the socials: @chasebliss, @oldbloodnoise, @andyothling, @danfromdsfLeave us a voicemail at 505-633-4647!
