Conversations about finding creative clarity, staying connected, and making art that matters in a digital age. The gatekeepers are gone. We're in a golden age of creative production. And we're drowning in a digital flood. But there are brilliant artists who are discovering ways to stay human. They're finding meaning and making it. Forming invisible communities. Unplugging but staying connected. From a sunny, synth- and script-laden studio within dreaming distance of the Hollywood sign, I talk to them about how.

    Community, Honesty & Aphex Twin // Guillaume Blanjean

    What’s the secret to building a passionate creative community that doesn’t turn into a circular firing squad? How do you become the kind of grown-up you wish you had around as a kid? How do we tap the wisdom of Aphex Twin? I talked to Guillaume Blanjean to find out. He's a French musician based in Copenhagen who makes electronic music as CSTL, as well as playing bass in the progressive metal in the band Only Human.  He’s also founder and curator of one of the most dynamic electronic music communities/labels I know of: Petite Victory Collective, which just celebrated its 5th anniversary.  Guillaume goes deep on his musical origins, how EDM & prog metal feed each other, how synths help reach troubled kids, and much more. Check out Guillaume's music and everything PVC is up to...playing in this episode is my favorite release of Guillaume's, the album Patterns, released under his former moniker Atlas Castle. And if you enjoy this conversation, please drop a 5-star rating and tell a friend -- it would mean the world to me. Thanks for listening. - GS

    I Can't Go Back to the City // Navin Kala

    Musician Navin Kala fled the big city for an isolated farm life of dogs, chickens, mango trees...and synths. What has it taught him about creativity? Why has Instagram become crucial to him? What did he learn from Stranger Things? And what if J.S. Bach had Instagram? On this debut episode of Slow Fade, Navin and I talk about his new album Spinoza, making immersive ambient when you're deaf in one ear, where to find inspiration amid isolation, and how an 18th century philosopher can make you feel less alone in the world. If you like this conversation, please subscribe and give us a 5-star rating so we can bring you more vital talks about finding your purpose, building community, and making art that matters in a digital age. Huge thanks to Navin for joining me as my inaugural guest -- and for the cover art for Slow Fade! Thanks for listening. - Steve/Good Sunset
