Nik Kershaw, he put random chords and key changes in places that most people would think were absolutely bonkers , and some of the chords changes sound weird when not played in context with the song. Italics added by me. Nik Kershaw, my hero. I always knew his music was interesting and engaging ...

Re: Jeff Beck auction
Yes, I said technique isn’t important "to some" depends what type of music you’re making, but even then, there is some techniques involved in every type of music, I wouldn’t say I could do what Brian Eno does simply because he has no traditional musical knowledge, he’s a self confessed non-musician, ...

Re: When, and why did key changes go out of fashion?
And this applies only to chart-directed pop music of course, which is a tiny fraction of the music being released (even if counts for most of the sales).

Re: Piezo bug pick-ups
I grimace

Re: Techno production. Acoustic room treatment or a sub? Which would you prioritise?
I've committed to taking a deep dive into techno production this year with an aim to mastering it, or at least as much as you can in twelve months. As genres go it was always one of my first loves. I'm happy with my monitors (Genelec 8330As) which I know well and I'm satisfied enough with my mixes ...

Re: A visit to Auden Guitars
Auden acoustics were once finished off in the UK with bodies made abroad, but as I understand it, they are now planing to make them all in-house. Which requires a lot of machinery these days if you plan to produce guitars in reasonable quantities. Warms my heart reading this. We also got to see the ...
