Baxie talks to the legendary Tony Levin! Since the early 1970's Tony Levin has been one of the most sought-after bass players in history!  His accomplishments as a musician are astounding.  While he's been primarily known for playing on every Peter Gabriel  album, he's also known for his work with King Crimson. On top of that Tony has also lent his amazing talents for more than 500 other albums. And that number continues to grow. These include sessions with John Lennon, Pink Floyd, Paul Simon, Buddy Rich, Stevie Knicks, Warren Zevon, and many others. He is also responsible for popularizing the Chapman Stick. He also been responsible for creating something known as "Funk Fingers" (Which you can hear on Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer") Tony has just released a fantastic new solo album "Bringing it Down to the Bass". He's also currently touring with BEAT--a band that includes his former King Crimson bandmate guitarist Adrian Belew (who's been a guest on this podcast), guitarist Steve Vai, and drummer Danny Carey from Tool!  BEAT will be playing at the Shubert Theater in Boston on October 10th and at the Bushnell Theater in Hartford on December 3rd.  Tony talks about all of that and more!  Just amazing!

Mats Orveland/"MO-PROJECT": 
Composer, keyboard and drum-programming, (exept where other mentioned). 
My music is often improvised, and several songs are actually unfinished song drafts. But I hope you can ignore that and instead listen to my feelings and my thoughts. I like to play with sounds, ambient, effects, electronic instruments and tools. Drawing influences from different electronic music genres. Mostly Tangerine Dream, Brian Eno, Vangelis, Jean-Michel Jarre and Tony Banks. 
Relax and breathe, to my sound-carpets! <3

Every track was recorded between 1980 and 2025.

"Instead of shooting arrows at someone else’s target, which I’ve never been very good at, I make my own target around wherever my arrow happens to have landed.
You shoot your arrow and then you paint your bulls eye around it, and therefore you have hit the target dead centre."
— Brian Eno

"Always remember that when you hear a marvellous sound coming from a synthesizer it is not the machine that is doing it - it is the imagination of the man playing it."
/Vangelis

"Love is the only thing that transcends all dimensions, including time and space." <3
