So funny you mentioned Colin Benders. I already wanted to tip you that you should have him on the show sometime. The guy is a brilliant multitallent and in my opinion one of the most amazing modular gurus around

fantastic interview. i really appreciate how technical & math-y you're willing to get. 🙏

Andrew Hogge is better known to you as Lovefingers and kicks-off our Liner Notes-project with the first mix in our new podcast-series by Red Light Radio & Sonos. But just as every podcast takes you on another journey, every track has its own story. It’s something we personally would love to show you more with this series. We will not only highlight the artist and the mix, but we will also pay attention to the background stories of the songs that are used to give you a full experience. To eventually create something special, we invite our favourite selectors and friends who are close to our hearts to look into their record collection for loads of hidden gems.

We’re starting our ride with a walking music encyclopedia: Lovefingers. The head honcho of ESP Institute is known for his exquisite taste and unique pick of records that you (most of the time) have never heard before. As a teenager, Andrew was introduced to diverse and interesting music through his parents, who collected Surf and R&B (his dad) and Classical (his mother, who was a multi instrumentalist), but it was the drumming in a band that led him to such genres as Punk, Garage and Skate-Rock. While expanding his taste into Soul, Funk and Breaks, Andrew also became obsessed with Psychedelic, Jazz and Kraut records. HIs first DJ gigs reflected his love for beats, and eventually led him into the world, of Disco, House and Techno.

Whilst mostly focusing on the late eighties with this mix, Andrew has turned a lovely journey through a diverse blend of Ambient, Rock, Blues, Disco, World Music and Folk. A full track list, including all the corresponding background stories, can be find below. Andrew was kind enough to give a personal touch to this by sharing his thoughts about some of his picks as well.

What If I Go?

Mura Masa - What If I Go? (Nighttime Version) [feat. Bonzai]

By Ruban and Kody. This was available as a free download for Christmas day only 2017. Chris Nielson on flugel horn. Cover art by Neil Krug. The year after this originally came out I released an album called Sex & Food and this was based around that album and included the melodies from all the songs in order as they appear on it

SB - 05

My guest is a master of the dark arts. 

A minimalist with a big sound. 

A pioneer and a deeply clever chap. He’s an audio visual mash man that’s got tasty taste. A rare combo!

Some may be aware of the music master mind that is William Fields but to those of you that don’t know him he’s very much needing to be on your radar.

I got into a small side road ramble whilst in conversation with Richard Devine on EP 57 and we were talking about limitations in eurorack for sequencing and how he wanted to get into using a computer with algorithmic composition tools to vastly expand the possibilities. I asked him if there was anyone out there making any listenable algorithmic shit and he told me of William Fields and the rest is history.

Get over to Williams FieldsOS page on band camp NOW!

There’s 24 tracks up there that are.. get this. 59 mins long EACH . WTF?

Long form expert explorations of a style. 

One is called Footwork, another UK Garage and then there's the fantastically bonkers Unconstrained.

It’s mind boggling stuff and I wanted to know what the hell was going on so ...

Stay tuned!

So sad to hear about Bill Withers. It’s just one that weighs heavy on me. What a singular talent, what an example of a pure soul. 

The honesty just shines through in his work. Hit me hard. RIP Bill.

I felt inspired to try and make my own humble tribute to the man. 

I reached out to my friend in hiding, Chancey and he immediately had bass and guitar recorded for the song.

I’ve actually since had my neighbour across the street, Rob Burger add some additional keys 

There MIGHT well be a special guest making a string arrangement in a month. Fingers crossed.

I’ve been really moved by the speed of response out there to this idea. Everyone’s been amazing. 

Here’s the video of the song:

Today’s nitty is a first for this show. After 134 weeks of making this thing I’ve gone and made a video for the nitty. A viddy nitty if you will.

It’s a tear away from the recent sample pack video I made. A few people liked the motor piano clip so I figured I’d try an expanded idea emerging form that little seed.

I have been trying to keep productive in my evenings which is when I get to work. 

I apologize for the slackness getting this show out but I’ve been trying to get my head around lots of things im no good at!

My wife is an incredible visual artist. She’s long been a professional photographer so we have lots of good cameras in the house but its definitely HER world.

Anyway after the sample pack vid I started the journey on the video making road. 

VIDEO HERE!

First of many hopefully!

EP 67 - WILLIAM FIELDS

Many many mysteries shall remain. SOME shall be dispelled!!
My name is Jamie Lidell and I'm gonna delve into the heady magic of creating music in a modern studio, probe the depths of production, get tech crazy with mixing tricks, studio skills and equipment. I'll be joined by fellow musicians, engineers and all-round audiophiles who kindly share their tips, stories and ingenious insight from the bizarre world of music production. I shall answer questions and seek knowledge from other music makers on a quest to discover how to make things sound RIGHT. I will also share some studio trickery on each episode as I explore some of my favourite innovations in music tech and my creations... outpourings from the weirdo brain! Welcome to a place for musicians, producers and listeners alike as we "cheers" our love of everything audio.

EP 67 - WILLIAM FIELDS
