You better strap yourself in for one hell of a conversation, as we managed to get Ben Weinman (founder and guitarist of The Dillinger Escape Plan) as our guest for this week's episode of The MetalSucks Podcast! During our chat, we discuss his new course on SoundFly called “The Business of Uncompromising Art.” In that discussion, we learn about how The Dillinger Escape Plan took unconventional avenues towards success.  The rest of our conversation also focused on finding the point that one's art is genuine, how happy accidents can help an artist find their identity, the ever-present debate of artist versus craftsmanship, if there is an actual blueprint for success as a musician, how having the desire to be polarizing is motivation enough, and why some of the most technically proficient musicians sometimes don't reach success. Petar and Sylvia discuss Ronnie Radke's response after Spiritbox decided to not to tour with Falling In Reverse, Carmine Appice silencing Nikki Sixx's “washed up” comments, and Russian Circles' decision not to sell merch in Paris due to venue merch cuts.

There's something wonderful and maybe even a little mystifying about a good theme song. A few familiar notes can serve as a cue to sit back, break from ordinary life, and enter new worlds and realities through the stories that splash across our screens. An iconic theme may even become a sort of character itself — bearing a personality of its own and possibly even evolving over time.For episode 58 of our podcast, Themes and Variation, Carter and Mahea sat down with composer, Tangelene Bolton to chat about some of our all-time favorite "Theme Songs." The episode centers around musical pieces that serve as themes for the shows What We Do In the Shadows, Westworld, and Doctor Who. The selections that feature in the discussion were created by Norma Tenega, Ramin Djawadi, Ron Grainer, and Delia Derbyshire.Check out all of our courses including Kiefer: Keys, Chords, & Beats here.Subscribe to all of Soundfly's premium course content here.Sign up to work one-on-one with one of our incredible mentors here.Check out each song mentioned on this episode with this handy Spotify playlist!Have questions or comments?

Do you remember the first time you were really aware of the music in a movie or TV show? Maybe you heard a swell of strings or an eerie synth line and looked down to see that the hairs on your arm were standing on end. Maybe you noticed that a certain character kept appearing right after a particular melody started.In the newest episode of our podcast, Themes and Variation, Carter sat down with composers Sofia Hultquist (Drum & Lace) and Ian Hultquist to talk about the songs that first got them into film scoring.Themes and Variation is presented by Soundfly, a music education website changing the way we build our creative skills :Subscribe to all of our courses here and use the discount code PODCAST to take 20% off!Sign up to work one-on-one with one of our incredible mentors here.Check out each song mentioned on the episode with this playlist!Have questions or comments?

One of the things I love most about music is its seemingly mystical ability to articulate things that cannot be expressed through words alone. There are times when the combination of poetry and melody forms a unique and powerful language audiences can immediately comprehend. In other cases, an instrumental part may communicate an idea or emotion so perfectly, it encapsulates a profound piece of the human experience even without the presence of lyrics. For the most recent episode of the Soundfly podcast, Themes and Variation, Carter and Mahea sat down with vocalist and songwriter, https://www.lauralizcanomusic.com/ (Laura Lizcano) to discuss "Songs That Say So Much."

 A Taylor Swift album is just not a collection of new music, it's an exploration of a theme. For the last eight years, each release has embodied a single idea. Reputation marked a turn to the dark side, Lover a return to the light, and her pair of albums Folklore and Evermore painted acoustic, fictional landscapes. Each album propels fans to find covert lyrical connections to her personal life, and easter eggs to past compositions. Whereas Swift's pop star contemporaries have focused their energies on becoming business moguls, Swift has gone deeper into songwriting and receiving accolades in the process. In September 2022, the Nashville Songwriting Association International awarded Swift the Songwriter of the Decade award. In her acceptance speech she says, “writing songs is my life's work and my hobby and my never-ending thrill.” Now she continues that thrill collaborating with her frequent producing partner and friend of the show, Jack Antonoff, on Midnights, her 10th studio album (not counting her recent “Taylor's version” re-recordings of past releases). On Midnights Swift builds a lyrical and sonic world that takes place across “13 sleepless nights.” Nate and Charlie listen closely to hear how she constructs this late night feeling.   More Nate's article on “Taylor Swift and the Work of Songwriting” for the Contemporary Music Review Journal John Hull's Soundfly course on Advanced Synths and Patch Design for Producers Music Discussed: Taylor Swift - Anti-Hero, Lavender Haze, Maroon, Question, Snow On the Beach, Mastermind, Bejeweled, Vigilante Shit, Labyrinth, Midnight Rain, You're On Your Own Kid, You Belong With Me, Stay Kevin “Reese” Saunderson - Just Want Another Chance Ray “Renegade” Keith - Terrorist P.A.

"A good theme — like the 'Pink Panther' or 'Baby Elephant Walk' — can work all the way through the picture, which is what I did with them. So, for me, a good melody is not just a pretty tune." – Henry Mancini Music's presence in a film or television show can completely transform the audience experience. It can set the scene, heighten emotions, provide context clues, and so much more. Every now and then, a piece of music can even take on a life of its own, creating a legacy beyond its cinematic origins. To celebrate some pieces from the pictures and Soundfly's newest course, https://soundfly.com/courses/intro-to-scoring-for-film-and-tv (Intro to Scoring for Film and TV), Carter and Mahea sat down with composer, pianist, and Soundfly CEO, Ian Temple to discuss "Songs That Lived Beyond The Film."

There's something pretty wonderful about a piece of music that says everything it means to in under two minutes — a piece that somehow satisfies its listeners while managing to leave them wanting more. There's also something great about a highly-recognizable song that addresses a specific category of leisure attire. If that has you scratching your head, you'll definitely want to either read on or jump right to the episode. For Episode 53 of our podcast, Themes and Variation, Carter and Mahea sat down with New York-based singer, songwriter, and incredible person we're glad to call friend, Tasha Solomita to discuss "Short Songs" (or as one of us chose to hear it, "Shorts Songs"). The episode is anchored by selections from the catalogs of a chamber ensemble group called the Pixies, an experimental woodwind orchestra known as the Beatles, and an avant-garde electronic jazz quartet that goes by the Royal Teens.

We launched the Soundfly podcast, Themes and Variation back in the summer of 2020. Since then we've chatted with all sorts of musicians and music lovers about songs related to themes like "Songs From the First Album You Ever Bought" (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/songs-from-the-first-album-i-ever-bought/id1525808376?i=1000488567722 (episode 1)), "Songs That Are Incredibly Clever (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/songs-that-are-incredibly-clever-with-chris-lindsey/id1525808376?i=1000511443784 (episode 15)), and "Songs That Aren't for the Faint of Heart" (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/songs-that-arent-for-the-faint-of-heart/id1525808376?i=1000554935830 (episode 40)). Our panelists have included old friends and new acquaintances. We've spoken to music teachers, instrumentalists, composers, producers, songwriters, students, and several of our Soundfly course instructors — each of whom brought an interesting and passionate perspective to the table. That said, this ain't no clip show folks. You may have been expecting a highlight reel, but we decided to take things in a different direction, centering the episode around what may very well be our vaguest theme to date: "50." That's it. Just the number 50. For this one, our panel of regulars had the freedom to select any song in the world, provided they could find a way to relate it to the number 50.

Have you ever heard a song so good you didn't just admire the writer, but also envied the fact that they came up with it? In the most recent episode of the Soundfly podcast, Themes and Variation, Carter and Mahea are joined by pop artist and multi-instrumentalist, Sulene van der Walt to discuss the theme "Songs I Wish I'd Written." This time around, the discussion is anchored by selections from the catalogs of Andy Shauf, Rufus Wainwright, and Irving Berlin. Said selections cover topics like social anxiety, youthful infatuation, and nostalgic longing.

I have used several planners over the years, but recently purchased the Rockstar Planner a few months ago.  It has helped me focus my intentions, set reasonable daily tasks, and organize the different aspects of my life (goals, family, side hustles).  Suzanne Paulinski, the creator of the Rockstar Planner, is here to share all the details! Suzanne is a growth mindset and productivity coach for music industry professionals and the founder of The Rock/Star Advocate, helping them reach their goals with custom goal-setting and time management solutions. With a B.S. in Music Industry and a Master's in Psychology, while finishing a Master's in Social Work, Suzanne guides her clients to clarity on their next steps while coaching them on maintaining a healthy work/life balance.  She published her first book, The Rock/Star Life Planner, now in its 2022 edition, as a tool for creatives to find focus in their daily lives (www.therockstaradvocate.com/planner). When she's not binging Law & Order episodes inside her tiny home with her dog, Charlie, she can be found working with clients or publishing her productivity tips in her many guest posts for Thrive, Rising Tide, Sonicbids, Tunecore, and Soundfly. Suzanne has also shared her lessons learned in over 100 episodes of her weekly podcast, The Music-Preneur Mindset, with more coming soon under a new name, the Redefine the Hustle Podcast.

To paraphrase the words of our special guest for this week's episode of the podcast, the most powerful songs are often the ones that both meet and challenge our expectations of music. Because of years of conditioning and generations of artistic traditions, we tend to make a lot of assumptions as listeners. We can't help but expect songs to more or less adhere to certain forms, chord progressions, instrumentations, and countless other patterns. Overall, that's not necessarily a bad thing. As writers, producers, and performers, we can use those instincts to create specific atmospheres, invoke complex emotions, and otherwise understand and connect with anyone who listens to the music we make. Of course, there's quite a bit to be said for surprise and delight — the big ideas and tiny details that stray from what's standard, drawing us in by defying that which we've come to expect. In the latest episode of Soundfly's podcast, Themes and Variation, Carter and Mahea are joined by composer, producer, and the artist featured in Soundfly's newest course, https://ryan-lott.com/ (Ryan Lott) to discuss "Songs That Defy Expectations."

Whether you're longing for seventeen uninterrupted minutes of audible bliss, a chance to cling to an interpretation of an instrumental's narrative, or a way to savor the intimacy hidden in a crowd favorite, there are some songs that are best listened to on your own. In the latest episode of Soundfly's podcast, Themes and Variation, Carter and Mahea are joined by voice actor, podcast host, and self-proclaimed non-musician (we'll agree to disagree on that last point), Adam Claus to discuss "Songs You Prefer Listening to Alone." The episode is anchored by selections from profound jazz pianist Bill Evans, instrumentally emotive post-rock group Explosions in the Sky, and Oasis, a band that really knew how to straddle the line between fame and infamy.

Few instrumentalists can make a listener involuntarily mimic their performance like a guitarist. With soaring solos and raucous riffs, the guitar has often been the imaginary instrument of wannabe rockstars. In the latest episode of Themes, our panel digs deep into three songs that epitomize the term "air guitar". And we have the perfect guest in https://www.dredimura.com/ (Dre DiMura), an extremely talented guitarist (real, not air) producer, and content creator. So grab your pretend axe and get ready to rip through some of our favorite air guitar songs!

There are songs we keep close to our hearts because of the undeniable wisdom they offer. We hum them to ourselves during stressful moments and think of their lyrics as the “words to live by” that carry us through tough times. Then again, there are songs that contain advice that's a little more questionable, and while we wouldn't recommend turning in that direction to find your new mantra, the tracks that fall into the category are certainly fun to talk about. For the latest episode of our podcast, Carter and Mahea sat down with Max Alper (composer, sound artist, educator) to discuss “Songs That Offer Bad Advice.” How did Polaroid's marketing team capitalize on a musician's misconception? What piece of music had a powerful influence on a particular hit around the turn of the millennium? And why did one of the nation's greatest songwriters take lyrical shots at a whole host of respectable professions?

When it comes to music, it's sometimes easy to get too much of a good (or not-so-good) thing. Whether you're a wedding band musician who's sick of the same requests or roommate to someone who seems to own just one album, there are likely a few songs you feel you don't ever want to hear again. For the latest episode of Soundfly's podcast, Themes and Variation, the home panel (Carter Lee, Mahea Lee, and Martin Fowler) sat down to reminisce, complain, share, and speculate about the theme, "Songs You've Heard Too Many Times." The episode is built around selected songs by Journey, Europe, and Francisco Tárrega and covers topics like shredding guitar solos, the gravitational pull of the planet Venus, and musical communication in the mid to late '90s.

At Soundfly, we're constantly exploring ways to understand and explain the practical aspects of music, but we can't deny that aspects of it can be wonderfully inexplicable. Music can say things that can't be articulated through any other medium. It can conjure empathy between strangers. In a sense, it can even transport us from one reality to another. For the most recent episode of our podcast, Themes and Variation, Carter Lee and Mahea Lee sat down with electronic musician, inventor of the genre mid-fi synthwave slow-motion funk, and recent Soundfly course instructor, Seth Haley (a.k.a. Com Truise) to chat about "Songs to Escape Into."

At first glance, "Songs That Define an Experience" seems simple and almost straightforward when compared to some of the more intentionally ambiguous themes we've used on the Soundfly podcast (like "Epic Songs" or "Mysterious Songs"). However, it ended up being trickier than expected, with every interpretation eliciting a different kind of vulnerability from the members of the episode's panel. To discuss songs related to everything from early music school experiences to humanity's most looming and unanswerable question, Carter and Mahea were joined by the brilliant, Jessi Lee, who is as delightful as she is insightful. Song selections for the episode included pieces by J.S. Bach, Radiohead, and Death Cab for Cutie.

The latest episode of T&V is all about "Songs That Aren't for the Faint of Heart." This theme almost immediately became one of our favorites, but what does it mean to you? And what would you add to a community playlist that isn't for the faint of heart? Maybe your pick would be the sort of angsty number that comes with a parental warning. Then again, it could be something that seems innocuous, until you consider its dramatic backstory. Of course, it might also be a song that's notoriously difficult — or better yet, apparently impossible to perform. For this episode, Carter and Mahea were joined by our good friend, the immensely talented songwriter and guitarist, Christina Apostolopoulos.

Imagine for a moment that you're on your own, but in a crowd. Maybe you're seated on a bus alongside others who are also making the journey from work to home. Perhaps you're walking down a busy street, and you find an unexpected moment of tranquility as you bend down to tie the laces of a well-worn shoe. Then again, you could be one in an audience of hundreds, eagerly waiting for your favorite DJ to take the stage. Now, imagine yourself pulling a pair of headphones from the pocket of your coat and sliding them into place. Press play. What song do you hear? There's something surreal about the experience of being alone in a crowd. Some of us find a sense of calm in the anonymity. Others struggle with the sudden self-awareness that comes from being but one small scene in life's elaborate tapestry. In the newest episode of our podcast, Themes and Variation, the panelists discuss songs that capture exactly these sorts of sensations. This theme (which may very well be one of our favorites) was selected by our guest for the episode, Fadi Tabbal (sound artist, producer, engineer), who joined Carter and Mahea to talk about "Songs to Listen to When You're Alone in a Crowd."
