On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with pianist, composer, producer, and sound designer Dave Mackay for a thoughtful conversation about musical identity, touring life, and the creative possibilities that live between composition, improvisation, and sound.Dave reflects on the strange rhythm of life on the road, especially after years of near-constant touring. We talk about the physical and emotional shift from playing for massive audiences to suddenly being home, and how that quiet space can bring a different kind of reflection. He speaks honestly about performance, nerves, and why playing the piano can feel natural while speaking into a microphone can still feel unnerving.We also trace his musical path, from early piano lessons in England to his studies in London and at Berklee College of Music in Boston. Dave shares how a perceptive childhood teacher encouraged him not just to learn music, but to develop his own voice. That thread carries through the entire conversation, from his improvisational instincts as a child to the way he builds sounds, writes records, and approaches collaboration now.A major part of our conversation centers on Dave's remarkable body of original work, including his Three trilogy:  L.A., Nashville, and Utopia, and his album The Looking Chamber. We talk about the influence of the Esbjörn Svensson Trio, the creative chemistry of working in a trio format, and how sound design and composition constantly inform one another in his music. Dave also shares why he prefers creating his own keyboard patches rather than relying on presets, and how his relationship with Nord keyboards grew out of that sonic curiosity.We close by talking about his work touring with Brandi Carlile, how that opportunity came together through Lucius, and why he remains passionate about live music that breathes naturally rather than being locked to click tracks and playback. It's a conversation about artistry, listening, taste, and learning how to trust your own instincts, both on stage and in the studio.Key TakeawaysDave talks candidly about the physical and emotional reality of life on tour, and why the transition back home can feel just as intense as the touring itself.He shares how improvisation has been part of his musical voice from the very beginning, even as a young piano student.Dave reflects on the importance of great teachers and how one early mentor helped him develop his own sound rather than imposing someone else's.We discuss the origin of his Three trilogy — L.A., Nashville, and Utopia — and how those records grew out of improvisation, friendship, and experimentation.Dave offers a fascinating look at sound design, explaining how creating his own patches and textures is integral to his compositional identity.He talks about touring with Brandi Carlile and why live music feels most alive to him when musicians listen and respond in real time.The conversation becomes a broader meditation on trust: trusting your ears, your collaborators, and the artistic choices that feel most like you.Music from the EpisodeAll the Same - Dave MackayHere in the Vastness - Dave MackayImpulse - Dave MackayProphecies - Dave MackayTrust Goddess - Dave MackayAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is my chance to sit down with musicians, composers, songwriters, and creative artists I admire for honest conversations about craft, collaboration, career, and the deeper musical ideas that shape their work.

WHEN THE RADIO WENT SILENT: A Life on the Road Between Duty and Home by JAMES S. Wynecoop https://www.amazon.com/WHEN-RADIO-WENT-SILENT-Between/dp/1291853561 When the radio went silent, the job doesn’t become quieter. It becomes personal. Every badge covers a human heart that holds memories no one dise can see. Calls that end in nightmares Faces of victims that haunt your sleep, Critical decisions that weigh on your conscience long after your shift is over. In small towns, those victims could be your neighbors. Your friends. Family. And knowing that fact never really gets oasion. When the Radio went Silent is not about heroism. It is about survival, Surviving the weight of life and death decisions that you carry home with you each day. Learning to embrace silence as both a blessing and a punishment. Realizing the invisible price of public service on cops, their families, and their communities. And finding quiet desperation in the momarits when you need help the most. In raw, compassionate, and hard-learned detail, When the Radio went Silent tells you what it’s really like to wear the badge. Not only for police and first responders, but for anyone who’s ever shouldered great responsibility. buried a heavy secret, or struggled to find purpose after everything went quiet. Because when the radio went silent, your job is often just beginning. About the author Biography — James S. Wynecoop James S. Wynecoop began his public safety career in 1975 at the age of nineteen, becoming one of the youngest Tribal Police Officers on the Spokane Reservation. Those early years laid the foundation for a lifetime of service rooted in community, responsibility, and cultural heritage. In 1985, Wynecoop traveled north to Alaska's North Slope, where he served as a Security Officer, Firefighter, and EMT in one of the most remote environments in the United States. Building on his experience, he founded Argus Security, a company that grew rapidly under his leadership—employing more than 500 security officers before being acquired in 1989. Returning to law enforcement in 1990, Wynecoop accepted the position of Police Captain for the community of La Push, Washington. He later continued his federal service as a Police Officer with the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, serving the North Idaho District and the Nez Perce Reservation until the position was eliminated by a reduction in force. In 1999, Wynecoop joined the Kalispel Tribe of Indians to establish security operations for the Tribe's new casino. His leadership and vision propelled him into broader responsibility, and he was soon promoted to Executive Director of Public Safety. In this role, he oversaw the Police Department, Fire Department, and Emergency Medical Services, helping guide the growth of the Tribal community's modern public safety system. After more than four decades in policing, security, fire, and emergency services, James S. Wynecoop retired in 2022—leaving behind a legacy of leadership, service, and commitment to Tribal communities across the Northwest and Alaska.
