Cannabis Goldsmith - A Show About Art and Design

So you want to make a documentary film...

Making a documentary film is one of the hardest things a human can do, but that won’t stop me! I explain the strategy behind my own film, from the vague original idea to a clear direction. I talk about all the different elements you have to consider when making a documentary, from music to sets, and how you can use free AI tools to create your own documentary film school and learn new techniques. I discuss using subject matter to drive story timing and story arcs, using synthesizers to generate audio atmosphere for a film, and distributing your documentary in a world where traditional theaters no longer play the role they once did. After listening to this episode, you'll get a sense of what is involved in documentary filmmaking.

Google Zero vs. Creators

The American business, tech, and media press are saying that people who work with their hands will be fine in spite of the AI onslaught because AI can't do plumbing or sew quilts. But it's really about discovery and distribution. If Google is not providing search results anymore and is just providing "answers," the answers provided will soon be paid for by the highest bidder. Small artists, businesses, us - we won't stand a chance against the U.S. companies that will game the system to put you out of business, because none of us will get discovered, and so we will be unable to sell our art. Worse, AI will steal our art and ideas and present them as its own. I don't know the answer yet for artists, but we really must think about how we can penetrate the thick AI shell that will envelop everything, whose mission is to conceal our work from the public in order to monetize descriptions of it for tech company profits. It's a frikken nightmare. On the upside, I watched 11 documentary films (so far) about electronic music and art subcultures, and I recommend the one documentary you must watch. Some of this gritty energy is what we artists will need to battle AI, I think..

Studio Monitors For Audio Mastery – A Guide

What are studio monitors and why would you need them? How are they different from normal audio speakers? In this episode I talk about how studio monitors are not meant for easy listening, but rather to reveal problems in audio. Ordinary speakers are meant for audio enjoyment in a multitude of settings. Studio monitors are designed for one specific purpose in a single, highly controlled environment. Woofer color is not important except for the brands to differentiate from each other in the marketing space, studio monitor audio personality is much more important. Before you purchase studio monitors you should know what type of audio you are going to check. Dance music? Vocals for a documentary film? Video game audio bits? The next winning Eurovision track? Listen to this show before you buy your studio monitors, then, if you can, go to an audio dealer where you can listen to a variety of different brands, keeping in mind the type of work you will be doing. This episode is NOT sponsored by any speaker companies and we actually purchased the studio monitors we ended up choosing. Sponsor wanted: We are looking for a sponsor for the show. There’s only a single sponsor per episode, host read, and embedded deeply into content.

Vox Media is Dying - Busting Through Procrastination

I’ve noticed a change in Vox Media podcasts since the beginning of the year. Much of podcasting is built on the closeness of the host-audience relationship, and when you have listened to a show for a while you can tell when something is wrong. But now, they are talking about openly it on their shows.

Ten Feet of Reinforced Concrete and a Met Gala Invite - Synthesizers

Where can you go to be seen when you're ultra-rich and live in an underground bunker to hide from the nightmare world you've created? The ultra-rich have nowhere to go yet have an insatiable desire to be seen and admired. The Met Gala is the perfect solution for them. I bought a synthesizer, used, for cheap, from a dude in the next hamlet. I'm not a musician and have never used one before, but I am already creating usable audio for my video and podcast projects. You can hear my first synth created pieces in the show. Why did I wait so long to experiment with a synthesizer?
