Podcasts about sound matters

In a world in crisis, we're not listening to each other, not listening to the larger world in which we live. Yet listening is key to solving the very crises humanity faces. >>> LISTEN NOW! @ www.ConsciousSHIFTNow.comREGISTER at www.ConsciousSHIFTShow.com(IT'S FREE)[Receive Show Details + Access to GIFT > Genius Guide + Audio] Julie Ann explores with her ConsciousSHIFT Show guest Dr. Mike Edwards, global climate change adviser, author of Soundscapes of Life, & world-class didgeridoo player, how listening to the "soundscapes" of life can help us restore peace in a turbulent world. Soundscapes encompass the auditory frequencies of the human and more-than-human natural worlds that surround us, influence us, and impact us internally and externally.Mike is Chief Listening Officer (CLO) at Sound Matters and co-founder of Innerdigenous, a movement dedicated to helping people reconnect with themselves and nature for personal and planetary healing. He holds a PhD in the links between climate change and human security. Mike has over 25 years' experience as a sustainability consultant and climate change advisor. He was appointed global Climate Change Advisor to The Elders Foundation, where he provided expert advice to the likes of UN SEC GENERAL Kofi Annan and President Jimmy Carter. His career began with research on climate change in the Southwest Pacific. His early work was cited by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and explored "ecocolonialism," or how powerful interests manipulate climate discourse. He lived in Australia for 11 years while he completed his PhD, where he also learned how to play the didgeridoo - a hollow tube of eucalyptus that produces mesmerizing earthy tones and natural rhythms. Mike is also a musician and is considered one of the world's most accomplished didgeridoo players having performed at festivals around the world and released four CDs to international acclaim. Since completing his PhD, Mike has dedicated himself to music and teaching. Over the past 17 years, he also has roamed the world playing didgeridoo and teaching people why it is crucial to love nature. Now lives & teaches in the UK. His new book, ‘Soundscapes of Life', which explores a new theory and practice of listening - Integral Listening (IL) - is due for publication in 2025. Join Julie Ann and Mike to discover how sound shapes our understanding of place and presence, and how deep listening to each other and the world around us just might save the very world we live in.

“If it's stock music, unless you're paying, like, some libraries have exclusivity, but most of them don't. So that's what I always say to clients, like stock music. You might hear that Joe's ice cream shop also has the same music that you have. And you're Chrysler – I keep saying Chrysler, but whatever, a big brand. A good example of an audio branding that we did was the Rogers. That was huge, and when we first did that, it was for a very close friend of mine, Philippe Garneau, and Mark's brother, the astronaut, and he came to me, and he had the Rogers account. He said, ‘We want a mnemonic on the end of the spot, but we're only going to use it for three commercials.' And so they lost the business, and Rogers loved that mnemonic.” – Ted “Theo” Rosnick This episode is the second half of my conversation with music and audio director/producer Ted Rosnick, as we discuss the use of AI, especially digital voice clones, in advertising, the impact of the SAG-AFTRA strike, and the unwritten rule voice artists follow when it comes to branding.

(0:00:00) - Evolution of Music Production and AIThe second half of our conversation starts with Ted's perspective on advertising in the 21st century, and one early trend that marked a turning point. “One of the main things I remember changing a lot was when Napster came along,” he recalls. “People could download a hundred songs in an hour, and I noticed it was, all of a sudden, we were expected to do seven or eight demos, because that's what they were used to, like, pulling music down all night long and hearing their stuff.” We talk about digital studios and sound design, and how AI voice cloning has transformed the industry, including a recent commercial campaign that featured a synthetic likeness of a human actor. “We asked his permission,” Ted tells us, “and so we AI'd his voice, and it worked out really well. Nobody would know. I know the difference because I just know, but you wouldn't know the difference.”(0:10:42) - The Impact of AI on CreativityTed tells us about his experience with AI-assisted brainstorming and its limitations as a content writer. “I've written them and then thrown them into ChatGTP,” he explains, “and then said, ‘Can you just make it a little warmer?' But the truth of the matter is that I've always gone back to my own, because I don't think it's as warm as or as good as what's in here, you know.” We discuss what sets human and AI creativity apart, and how what makes a work human often comes down to the very things AI would try to fix. “A lot of it is that human subtleties are mistakes,” he tells us. “When you start tearing it down for the mix, you hear all sorts of mistakes. They're not glaring mistakes that are going to ruin it, but they're not perfect, and that's what makes it human. And that's what makes it great.”(0:23:10) - The World of Audio BrandingOur conversation closes with some of Ted's most...

How might we weave stories together as a response to ecological breakdown, using sound to connect to place?In this episode, I speak with Mike Edwards. Mike began his career researching climate change in the Southwest Pacific, where his work—cited by the IPCC—was among the first to explore ecocolonialism: how climate discourse is manipulated by the powerful to control those most affected. His research challenged dominant narratives, sparking debate among those reluctant to rethink the status quo. In 2015, he co-founded Sound Matters, pioneering work in sonic rewilding, regenerative soundscaping, and Integral Listening (IL). His book Soundscapes of Life is set for release in 2025. Beyond sound, Mike has been a Climate Change Advisor to The Elders Foundation, working with leaders like Kofi Annan and President Jimmy Carter ahead of COP21. He has lectured worldwide, led the Arts and Ecology programme at Dartington Arts, and founded InnerDigenous, a movement helping people reconnect with self and place for personal and planetary healing.

This week my guests are Northern California based musical duo Misner & Smith. Sam, who is Misner, and Megan, who is Smith comprise one of the most acclaimed acts in the Americana world. Blending elements of that genre with bluegrass, traditional folk ballads, and more pop leaning ideas, they've been described as making music that is gloriously nonconforming. Aside from their musical chops, Sam & Megan are expert gardeners who focus on pollinators, sustainability and community gardening. Listen on to find out how their connection to nature feeds into their music. What We Talk About Sam & Megan's gardening backgrounds Gardening sustainably and for the community Gardening as a creative outlet? 
How gardening inspires when you are looking for creative prompts How gardening factors into their music? The garden soundscape About Misner & Smith Northern California based unclassifiable duo Misner & Smith treasure the unpredictability of their band. Technically precise songwriting mirrored with an improvisatory spirit and soaring harmonies have made the band consisting of Sam Misner and Megan Smith one of the most acclaimed acts in the Americana world. Blending elements of that genre with bluegrass, traditional folk ballads, and more pop leaning ideas, Misner & Smith makes music gloriously nonconforming.  The duo first met at a Shakespeare festival as professional actors in California in 2002 but began working as a musical duo two years later when Sam and Megan discovered a mutual love of roots music, Woody Guthrie, and in particular, harmony singing. Before the release of their career defining sixth LP ALL IS SONG, the duo had released five critically acclaimed records, including Halfway Home (2004), Poor Player (2008), Live at the Freight & Salvage (2010), Seven Hour Storm (2013), and headwaters (2017). It was that 2017 release that found the group stripping their sound back down to where it began, two voices and two instruments. headwaters was recorded live in the studio and features the duo doing what they do best. On ALL IS SONG, they build upon that momentum and turn in their finest work to date, an album of inspired declarations to the power of music, song, and, most importantly, collaboration. www.misnerandsmith.com YouTube  Other episodes if you liked this one: Natural Fibres - This week's guest is multi-media artist Hanna Varga.

Sound Matters episode #127 features Tom's conversation with Nathan James from the supergroup Iconic and the UK's Inglorious. Admittedly, I didn't know much about vocalist Nathan James until diving into some research about him and listening to his previous records with Inglorious. Great singer with an ear for melody... this alone is worth checking him out. The new supergroup Iconic's debut album Second Skin also featuring Michael Sweet, Joel Hoekstra, Marco Mendoza, and Tommy Aldridge is a cut above many of these types of projects put together by Frontiers Records. With the caliber of talent assembled here, my expectations were high. They did not disappoint. This album rocks, and has the hooks present throughout to keep you coming back. I was sure what to expect with Nathan but found him to be charming and transparent. We dig into his old band, this new band, his approach to songwriting and his career, as well his what he feels is misunderstood about him as a person. Don't miss this one!> Tom's the 1st and #1> Second Skin title> Singing with Michael Sweet> Recording the album at a distance> Sweet's biggest compliment to Nathan> About the song "All I Need"> His evolution as a vocalist, performer, and songwriter> The need to buy a physical copy of the album> Tommy Aldridge and the video shoot> The funniest guy in the band> His view of the position he's in today> Wishes he was 20 yrs old in 1986> Other song Nathan co-wrote on the Iconic album> How this project came to exist> The moment he decided to become a musician for a career> Things he's learned about the music business so far> On being very deliberate and smart about career choices> Something people misunderstand about him> Advice he'd give his younger selfConnect with Nathan James:Facebook: www.facebook.com/nathanjamesingTwitter: www.twitter.com/thenathanjamesInstagram: www.instagram.com/thenathanjamesConnect with TOM LEU:Websites: www.SoundMatters.tv | www.TomLeu.com | www.16Imaging.com Official Facebook Page: www.facebook.com/tomleu2Twitter: www.twitter.com/tomleu (@tomleu)Instagram: www.instagram.com/tomleu (@tomleu)YouTube: www.tomleu.tv SOUND MATTERS Radio Episode #127 >> www.SoundMatters.tv/sm127/

Sound Matters episode #123 features Tom's 3rd in-depth conversation with Mark Kendall from the multi-platinum band Great White.
