Name: op-1 field acoustic gtr w fdbck by Grady Nickel
Duration: 2 min 23 s
Description: 2 tracks recorded straight into the op-1 field's internal microphone. The 1st is some improv acoustic guitar. The 2nd is my fender jaguar into a Basic Audio Big Muff clone into a MusicMan HD130 head through a Mesa 1x12 cabinet. Again, just using the internal mic on the op-1 field.

It's pretty amazing how far technology has come in the past 20 years, especially when it comes to electronic music production and social media. The knowledge that was once reserved for a select few can now be instantly searched for using YouTube, and as a result, common people can and are becoming globally recognized public figures. One such individual is a YouTuber by the name of Cuckoo, who's quirkiness and simplistic approach to making music and tutorials on hardware have created a cult following. I can attest to this, as I personally am a big fan of his work, and have, on several occasions, used his videos to learn how to use my hardware.

Earlier this year at Moogfest, I had a chance to sit with him for an in-depth discussion on everything from how he became such a beloved YouTuber, the moment he discovered he could make a real living off of it, and why giving back to the community is the way to succeed.

Special thanks to our sponsors LANDR and Rode Mics for helping make this podcast possible.

I'm just writing some songs every now and then and in the meantime, making some noise with weird wonderful machines.
