Michael Lowenstern has spent 15 years as a professional bass clarinetist specializing in avant garde jazz, and 15 years as a professional brand marketer specializing in data-driven creative strategy. Those journeys have two things in common: They are both niche corners of their respective markets, and they are both things that most people couldn't care less about. He's currently a Principal Creative Director for Amazon.QUOTES“After music school when I turned up in NY, I stared at the phone. It took about 7 years to establish myself and I was doing the work I always wanted with Steve Reich, John Zorn and Peter Sekin. But I wasn't making much.“I always had ‘double majoring' in life, it started as a temp and then worked in advertising.”“I was driving on the New Jersey turnpike at midnight, having an existential conversation. I just played Beethoven for the millionth time, I hadn't seen my kid in 3 days because I also have a day job with night gigs. Would I rather play Beethoven and fulfil that destiny for the rest of my life or would I rather watch my kid grow up.” (2005)“Now I'm able to feel fulfilled as a musician and have a second job”“I landed in a great spot by dumb luck”“The critical thinking part is not about being a clarinet player (singer, pianist, composer) it's about being a musical contributor. If you're not contributing, you're taking. And if you're not empathetic, you don't know how to give. And if you don't do that, then you're not part of the solution that's pushing music forward.”“if you're successful at more than one thing, there's precedent for that. Not to compare myself, but there are a lot of people in history who've been good at more than one thing.”LINKSFind Mike on the Earspasm website or on Youtube “How to deal with not doing music full time?” on EarspasmPODCAST TEAMProduction Support from Molly Jenkins Audio Engineering from Frazer RuddickTheme Music Composed by Danna YunTheme Music Performed by Jasper LyRECORDEDRecorded on 03 September 2021

Play It Like It's Music 021: EarspasmGood morning! In today’s edition:Michael Lowenstern of Earspasm[Photo by Peter Gannushkin]It's Wednesday, January the 8th of 2020. This is Play It Like It's Music, thank you for listening **and if you like the show, please tell a friend!We're hanging today with a totally unique, and uniquely advanced player and citizen. Michael Lowenstern, a completely world class Bass Clarinetist. And a thriving corporate executive in the field of advertising. The guy has stories for days, a fascinating Ableton rig where he can loop a ton of stuff and - most of all - a beautiful, charismatic tone on his instrument. Oh and he's also a pilot. I hope you all are bringing it like champs out there! For those of you who asked, yes it's true. I've suspended my campaign for president. Maybe a couple more go-rounds I'll try it again but for now I'm gonna stick to things I'm good at, like looking out upon the ocean at sunset, making guacamole and trying not to read the rest of the news. We got an incredible musician with us today, so I'm gonna jump right in.Michael started in on Harmonica at age 2, growing up in the south side of Chicago. He played with Orpheus and did a whole slew of other “wish list” gigs. Then he started a family and moved over to doing grown up jobs where he also thrived and eventually bought himself a plane. (A little one, that he flies himself around in on the weekends.) We don't talk too much about that, but suffice it to say that the man is not just some hippie. And he still plays out, quite successfully. Mike puts a lot of full time pro players to shame with his solid stage prowess, but he shares the wisdom quite generously. We got to talking about the kind of music he likes to call "Post Ugly", becoming a popular bass clarinet guy on YouTube, knowing who your audience is and playing to them… as well as maintaining two successful careers. You'll also hear some incredible sounding tracks of his as an underscore to parts of this interview. Thank you so much for listening to the show. If you like it, tell a friend? Let's grow this thing.Go and find Mike and all of his brilliance at: https://www.earspasm.com/Look at his youtube channel, lots of action up there: https://www.youtube.com/earspasmThis show is for you! We're all contending with a mutating professional landscape, jacked revenue streams and a lot of noise out there in the culture. But you gotta keep playing.It’s exciting times. Music isn't just content, it's a connection.We don't draw any lines here between scenes or styles. As always, thank you for listening and remember to play it like its music.Big love to your ears.Trevor(Did you press play yet?)...If you like my stuff, help it spread by sharing it!Hear songs: the “Trevor Exter Playlist” on SpotifyHang with players!

Bass clarinetist Michael Lowenstern is the epitome of this "portfolio career" and is a veteran of this podcast who of course needs further introduction. Today on the program he shares behind the scenes information on running his music business, online store, YouTube channel, and how he writes his music.

It's your choice, asking people to vote up front means it's heard by more people. However, as a first impression then followed by an advertisement, left me impatient trying to find out what this awesome product was. Thankfully you said "Reed Case" or I would've had to wait even longer for the answer. As someone who knows someone who plays clarinet, I would recommend they listen to the show.

In today's episode I speak with Michael Lowenstern, who is someone that I've been looking forward to sitting down and speak with long before this podcast even began. However, we had so many listener questions submitted for Michael, that I decided to give up the floor entirely to listeners. Learn about Michael's gorgeous all-black bass clarinet, some of his gear and practice recommendations, what he wished he know about being a musician, and much more.
