Weathervane Podcast Weathervane Podcast

Producer and Remix Artist Carl Bahner teamed up with Semblance singer and guitarist Maeve Gorman to produce an amazing remix of the Half-Waif song “Every Animal” (originally recorded for Weathervane Music’s documentary video series Shaking Through in 2018). Their approach brings the song to a completely new place, while at the same time somehow providing a deeper appreciation for the original.

Through Remix Access, Weathervane Music allows the supporting members of this unique non-profit community to download, remix and share the multitracks and mix-stems from Shaking Through recordings.

This podcast episode with Bahner and Gorman marks the first installment in what will be an ongoing series in the Weathervane Podcast of conversations with exceptional remix artists. And here’s another little surprise… Carl Bahner himself will be curating and hosting these future conversations.

David Hartley’s project Nightlands is outstanding, though he’s probably best known as the bass player for The War on Drugs. Shaking Through fans will remember him for his roles in episodes with Torres, Steven A. Clark, and the 2009 pilot episode featuring BC Camplight. His career has had him working on his own music, as well as filling out roles in other peoples’ projects, not to mention a unique early recording experience he had with the late Andy Johns.

Since then, Alec’s produced many records, played countless shows, and found new love in playing house shows in peoples’ living rooms across the country.
