In this episode of The Music Production Podcast, I sit down with musician and songwriter Jean-Paul Vest, the driving force behind Last Charge of the Light Horse. We talk about the evolution of songwriting, the impact of place and sound on music, and the delicate balance between control and spontaneity in the creative process. Jean-Paul shares his approach to writing, how his songs take shape over time, and the unexpected ways music resonates with listeners. We also dive into the role of nostalgia, the value of quiet spaces, and why playing music with friends is one of the greatest joys of being a musician. Listen on Apple, Spotify, YouTube Main Topics Discussed: Songwriting and Identity – How artists evolve over time and whether they should brand themselves or stay fluid in their musical identity. Letting Creativity Flow – The challenge of balancing technical skill with raw inspiration and why stepping back can lead to better songs. Sound and Place – How environments, from noisy cities to quiet deserts, influence musical perception and creativity. The Role of Collaboration – Learning to trust bandmates and fellow musicians rather than dictating every detail. Reinvention in Music – How artists like Beck and XTC reinvent themselves and what we can learn from their approach. Music as a Personal Archive – Songs as layered stories, much like a “palimpsest,” revealing new meaning over time. Field Recording and Natural Soundscapes – Using organic sounds in music and the impact of noise pollution on creativity. Key Takeaways: Step Back and Let the Song Lead – Trying too hard to control the songwriting process can stifle creativity. Let ideas develop naturally. Your Environment Shapes Your Sound – Whether it's a reverb-heavy church or the silent stillness of a desert, soundscapes influence the way music is made. Not Every Song is an Autobiography – Just because a song is personal doesn't mean it's literally about the songwriter. Sometimes, music is a character study. The Right Audience Makes a Difference – Playing in an intimate setting vs. a bar can completely change how a song is received. Music is a Long Game – Success isn't just about radio play; it's about the relationships and experiences built through music-making.

Stāsta komponiste Anna Fišere Vai zini, ka Hamiltona mauzolejā Skotijā var dzirdēt vienu no pasaulē garākajām atbalsīm, kāda iespējama iekštelpās?  Hamiltona mauzolejs būvēts 19. gadsimta vidū un tas ir viens no iespaidīgākajiem pieminekļiem Skotijā. Kapela, kas ir astoņstūra formā, atrodas ēkas pirmajā stāvā un tiek blāvi apgaismota ar saules gaismu, kas ieplūst caur stikla kupolu. Sākotnēji kapelā bija paredzēts rīkot reliģiskus dievkalpojumus, taču telpas akustika to padarīja neiespējamu. Saskaņā ar 1970. gada Ginesa rekordu grāmatu — kad tika aizcirstas masīvās bronzas durvis, skaņa pilnībā izdzisa tikai pēc 15 sekundēm. Šobrīd kapelas unikālo akustiku saviem koncertiem izmanto dažādu žanru mūziķi, tostarp arī izcilais amerikāņu stīgu kvartets "Kronos Quartet". Savukārt Fingala ala (Fingal's Cave) Skotijā, kur atbalss ilgums sasniedz četras sekundes, iedvesmoja vācu agrīnā romantisma meistaru — komponistu Fēliksu Mendelszonu. Savā grāmatā "Koncertu apmeklētājas pierakstu bibliotēka" angļu dzejniece un mūzikas aprakstniece Roza Nūmārča stāsta, kā komponists Fingala alā guvis iedvesmu uvertīrai "Hebrīdu salas", kurai komponista pierakstos un vēstulēs vēl bez šī nosaukuma dažkārt dots arī apzīmējums "Fingala ala". Tā ir unikāla ala, kas atrodas Skotijai piederošās Hebrīdu salu grupas neapdzīvotās Stāfas (Staffa) salas krastā. Neparastās uzbūves dēļ tajā dzirdamas ļoti krāšņas atbalsis. Jūras ūdeņi bazalta iežos izgrauzuši alu ar kupola veidā izliektiem griestiem, kas rada savdabīgu akustiku. Alas sienas veido seššķautņainas bazalta kolonnas, kas dabiski veidojušās pirms 60 miljoniem gadu paleogēna periodā. Karstās lavas plūsmai atdziestot, perpendikulāri tās virsmai rodas regulāras sešstūrainas sarukuma plaisas (atskaldnība), līdzīgi, kā veidojas plaisas, žūstot dubļiem.  Mendelszons Fingala alu apmeklējis 1829. gadā, kad apceļoja Skotiju. Klausoties paisuma bangu atbalsīs, Mendelszonam esot ienākusi prātā uvertīras tēma. Ņūmārča par programmātisko uvertīru raksta šādi: "Tā ir kā skaists un grezns jūras gleznojums, ko radījis cilvēks, kurš apbrīnojis okeānu no attāluma, bet vēl nekad nav izjutis zaļā viļņa spēku un vēsumu, kad tas atsitas pret bortiem un apšļāc sašķiebušos klāju." Uvertīru atzina pat Rihards Vāgners, kas etniskās piederības dēļ nebija pret Mendelszonu labvēlīgi noskaņots, un raksturoja to kā to "pirmklasīgu ainavgleznojumu".

Covid-19 infections in the UK are at an all-time high. But most people in England can no longer access free Covid-19 tests, and the REACT-1 study, which has been testing more than 100,000 individuals since the pandemic began, ended last week after its funding stopped. Martin Mckee, Prof of European Health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, shares his insights on what these changes might mean for ambitions to 'live with the virus'. This week, the UN's latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report has unveiled a to-do list of ways to save the planet from climate catastrophe. How do scientists reach a global consensus on climate change amid war, an energy crisis, and a pandemic? Vic Gill speaks to report co-author Jo House, University of Bristol, and Ukrainian climate scientist Svitlana Krakovska who took part in signing off every line of the report while sheltering from the war in Kyiv. And from our planet's present and future to its ancient past. Scientists working on the Tanis fossil site in North Dakota in the US have dug up a dinosaur's leg, complete with skin and scales. Is this 66-million-year-old fossil, alongside similar nearby victims, the key to unveiling those transformative minutes after the infamous Chicxulub asteroid struck the earth and ended the era of the dinosaurs? BBC science correspondent Jonathan Amos has seen the fossil and speaks with Paul Barrett of London's Natural History Museum about the significance of this un-reviewed new finds. And from earth to Mars. After a year of analysing audio recordings from NASA's Perseverance rover, scientists have found not one but two speeds of sound on Mars. Trevor Cox, Professor of Acoustic Engineering at the University of Salford, guides us through this sonic wonder, and how sound may become a key tool for exploring distant worlds.

Join us this week as we close out this series on The Image of God with Trevor Cox, the Spiritual Formation Content Director at Newspring Church in Anderson, SC. In the intro of the episode (1:02-4:23) Lukas and Jae talk about each episode of the series a little bit before moving into this final conversation. This conclusion is a culmination of our series, but ultimately, we’re talking about the culmination of Humanity: The Restoration of all things through Christ. In Part 1, Dr. Crisler mentioned the view of the conversation in a Philosophical sense versus the Christological sense. Today, we bring that idea back around and talk about this in a Practical sense instead of in a Theoretical sense. We take a look at this Upside-Down Kingdom we, as Christians, are all a part of and we discuss how someday we will return to the Garden. In the first part of the episode (4:40-9:54), Trevor tells us about what he does at Newspring and Lukas and Jae mention how, just as Parts 2 & 3 were nice pairings, Parts 1 & 4 work well in conjunction. In the next part of the episode (10:17-33:57), we ask the question: “How is Christ the perfect Image of God?” Trevor brings up the Sovereignty and Authority delegated from God to us through His Image. We look at some of Christ’s teachings and notice how, in our World, they seem completely backwards. We are living in an Upside-Down Kingdom where the Kings and Queens are those who are Weak, Weary, and Oppressed. Christ relieves that suffering and through His Upside-Down Coronation—the Crucifixion and Resurrection—we are coronated through Him and made citizens and rulers in His Upside-Down Kingdom. He has Restored us, and God's Image is completed through Him. We ask what true servanthood looks like, and we talk about what it means to be truly conformed to Christ’s Image and bought into our role in His Kingdom. We talk about how, for the Church, Christ is our Common Unity and in Him we have Perfect Community—or at least we should. We take a look at Paul’s words in Colossians 3:12-15 and consider them as an guide to the Upside-Down Life. In the final part of the episode (34:17-45:06), we ask the question: “How do we walk in the Restoration of the Image?” Trevor reminds us that “it’s not about trying harder; it’s about surrendering more.” Christ is Risen and we see at the end of Revelation that through Him the World will be made new. Eventually, we will be returned to the Garden and have Perfect Fellowship with God. For now, though, in the in between, we have a job to do. Through Christ in us, it is our responsibility to bring the Upside-Down Kingdom to Earth by living in ways that seem Upside-Down in our World—ways like Colossians 3 outlines.

As it starts to get colder and we crank up the central heating in our homes, what will the effect be on the SARs-CoV-2 virus? As a respiratory virus like the common cold and influenza, will the coronavirus have a distinct season and will the incidence of COVID get worse in the winter? A pre-print study of over 7000 hospitalised patients across Europe and China during the early days of the pandemic plotted severity of the disease with outside temperature. In European countries as we came out of winter, into spring and then summer, Professor Gordan Luac, lead researcher on the study, found that the severity decreased as it got warmer outside. He took outside temperature as a proxy for indoor humidity (as it gets colder, we turn on our heating, stay indoors more and the humidity in our homes, and especially our bedrooms drops). He explains to Marnie Chesterton that the subsequent drying out of our mucosal membranes in our noses and throats could be the reason we might expect things to get worse over the winter. We learn a lot about what our ancestors got up to by visualising a scene. Take Stonehenge for example, years of detective work has ascertained that 4,000 years ago, Stonehenge was made up of an outer circle of 30 standing stones called ‘sarsens’, which surrounded five huge stone arches in a horseshoe shape. There were also two circles made of smaller ‘bluestones’ – one inside the outer circle and one inside the horseshoe. But what did it sound like if you were in the middle of all these stones in prehistoric times? Last year, acoustic engineer at the University of Salford, Trevor Cox, and his team built and measured a 1:12 acoustic scale model of Stonehenge to find out. They've now completed the full analysis of those first measurements and Trevor caught up with Adam Rutherford to find out whether knowing the acoustics of a monument can tell us anything about how it might have been used. If you own a dog and like to calculate the equivalent human age of your pup, you might think that every year of your dog’s age equals 7 years in humans. So a one year old hound is 7 years old. Not so! As Geoff Marsh investigates - it’s much more complicated than that. Of course it is! Presenter – Marnie Chesterton Producer – Fiona Roberts

Our guest this episode is Trevor Cox, a professor of acoustic engineering at the University of Salford. Professor Cox’s research and teaching focuses on architectural acoustics, signal processing and audio perception. He has written several books for academics and the general public, most recently The Sound Book: The Science of the Sonic Wonders of the World and Now You’re Talking: Human Conversation from the Neanderthals to Artificial Intelligence. A former senior media fellow at the UK’s Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, Professor Cox has presented 25 documentaries for BBC radio and has been featured on BBC1, Teachers TV, Discovery and National Geographic channels; one of his most popular interviews concerned the debunking of the myth that “a duck’s quack doesn’t echo.” He has also written for New Scientist and The Guardian, and runs a website that hosts experiments to test people’s responses to sound: sound101.org, which hosted the popular experiment on the “Worst Sound in the World.” Professor Cox joined our Christopher Dahlie (who during the day serves as head of audio at the Chautauqua Amphitheater) for an in-studio conversation on July 23, shortly after Cox delivered a lecture in the Amphitheater as part of a week themed “The Life of the Spoken Word.”

Stig is joined by Jordan Erica Webber to play a new computer game based on the world of Hamlet. In Elsinore, released later this month, the player takes on the role of Ophelia and quests to save the lives of the characters and change the course of the story. We ask if an attempt to tell the story of the play in an interactive way bears fruit. The acclaimed Belgian theatre director Ivo van Hove talks about staging Ayn Rand’s 1943 novel The Fountainhead at Manchester International Festival. The adaptation, like the book, tells the story of Howard Roark, an architect who refuses to compromise on his “perfect” designs. US president Donald Trump is a fan of The Fountainhead and the home secretary Sajid Javid revealed during the Conservative leadership debates that he re-reads it once a year.

"What happens to the human voice as we age? If I hear a voice on the radio, I can guess roughly how old they are. But singer's voices seem to stay relatively unchanged as they age. Why is this?" All these questions were sent in by Jonathan Crain from Long Island in New York. Doctors Adam Rutherford and Hannah Fry discover how the human voice is produced and listen to how our voice sounds when it emerges from our vocal cords. Acoustic engineer Trevor Cox, author of Now You're Talking, explains why German and French babies have a different accent. And neuroscientist Sophie Scott describes what happens when boys' voices break, and why a similar thing can happen to women during the menopause. Finally, our voices often change dramatically in later life, as demonstrated by comedy impressionist Duncan Wisbey. Expect cameos from David Attenborough, Dumbledore and Paul McCartney.

Gareth Mitchell talks to Gillian Foulger of Durham University about HiQuake, the world's largest database of human-induced earthquakes. Professor Foulger and her colleagues have so far compiled close to 750 seismic events for which there are reasonable cases to be made for anthropogenic triggers. Triggers include mining operations, fossil fuel extraction, reservoir filling, skyscraper construction and tunnelling. Among the surprises is the fact that the US state of Oklahoma is more seismically active than California because of quakes and tremors set off by the local oil and gas industry. The theory of plate tectonics is 50 years old. It's as fundamental to understanding the Earth as evolution by natural selection is to understanding life. Roland Pease meets geologists such as Dan McKenzie, John Dewey and Xavier Le Pichon who played key roles in proving the hypothesis in the late 1960s. The United States has removed more than half of its diplomats from its embassy in Havana, Cuba. A signficant number of staff have complained of ailments such as hearing loss, dizziness, headaches and nausea, and there has been speculation that some kind of sonic or acoustic weapon might be responsible. Trevor Cox, professor of acoustic engineering at the University of Salford, discusses the likelihood with Gareth. Stanford University's Tom Mullaney is the author of 'The Chinese Typewriter: A History'. He talks to Gareth about the great engineering and linguistic challenge in the 19th and 20th centuries of getting the Chinese language onto a table top machine. The survival of the ancient language or China's entry into the modern world depended on the success of numerous inventors. In fact one consequence was the development of predictive text in the Chinese IT world long before it appeared in the West. Note: In the podcast version of this programme, there is an additional item on new research on the role of the world's botanical gardens in global plant conservation. One of the scientists involved, Dr Paul Smith of Botanical Gardens Conservation International, tells Gareth that there's good news about these institutions' contributions and there are areas where there is room for improvement.

On trains, in cafes, offices and in the street, we cannot help overhearing conversations not intended for our ears. Catherine Carr explores why we eavesdrop, and whether it is a harmless habit or a dangerous invasion of privacy. The poet Imtiaz Dharker takes ‘furtive pleasure' in ‘lying in wait for secrets that people don't even know they're telling' and sometimes what she hears ends up in her poems. Canadian journalist, Jackie Hong, eavesdropped on the radio communications of police and paramedics to get the news in real time. Not everything we hear in public is interesting to us: Lauren Emberson devised a psychology experiment to show why we find other people's mobile phone conversations so difficult to ignore. In some circumstances, eavesdropping can be problematic. The historian Anita Krätzner-Ebert, who works at the Stasi Records Agency, has been conducting new research into cases of neighbours and strangers who eavesdropped and reported on each other in East Germany. Professor of Acoustic Engineering, Trevor Cox explains how some buildings have allowed embarrassing secrets to be overheard and literary scholar, Ann Gaylin says that eavesdropping scenes in novels show writers have always been curious about human curiosity.

Oxygen appeared on Earth over two billion years ago and life took off. Now it makes up just over a fifth of the air. Trevor Cox, professor of acoustic engineering at the University of Salford, England, tells the story of oxygen on Earth and in space. Without oxygen, there would be no life on Earth, yet it was not discovered until late in the 18th Century. During the Great Oxidation Event, three billion years ago, cyanobacteria, thought to be the earliest forms of life on our planet, started to photosynthesise and these tiny creatures were responsible for putting the oxygen into our atmosphere, so we can breathe today. But it is not just for breathing. Ozone is three atoms of oxygen, and when it is in the stratosphere it stops harmful UVB rays from the sun reaching us. And if we are ever to leave our home planet, we will need to find a way to generate enough oxygen to keep us alive. Trevor visits the Science Museum in London, to discover how astronauts on the space station get their oxygen. Trevor Cox is not only an acoustic engineer, he also plays the saxophone. When he finds out the role that oxygen, in the air, has on the sound of his playing he gets a surprise.

Fiona Gameson has been blind since she was about 3 and half years old, and since childhood has used echolocation to help navigate her surroundings. Echolocation is used by bats and dolphins and some other marine mammals to navigate and hunt their prey. It involves producing a sonar emission (mouth clicks in Fiona’s case) and listening to the echoes to hear and “see” their surroundings. Lore Thaler a lecturer at Durham University has been studying human echolocation and we hear about her work with individuals like Fiona.
