Doing Music is a podcast that explores the techniques and strategies behind musical ideas. In each episode, Craig Schuftan looks into the myth of spontaneous creation and talks to artists about their hands-on approaches for sparking something new. Doing Music is for anyone interested in the act of making music – because often the most exciting results happen when we stop musing and start doing.

    Reveling in absurdity with MGMT

    How hard is it to retain the irreverent spark that started a musical partnership nearly 20 years ago? In this episode of Doing Music, MGMT's Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser talk to Craig Schuftan and Christa Belle about their instinct for the absurd throughout the course of their career. We learn about their roots in musical academia and their love of strange, disgusting music, and their learned experience that the weirdest sound you make might be the best one. From relishing the plasticity of early virtual-analog synths to avoiding over-thinking the creative process, Andrew and Ben take us into what makes MGMT such a psychedelic force in the field of pop-rock.  Explore further: Alvin Lucier Anthony Braxton  Situationist International Chrome - Half Machine Lip Moves Royal Trux - Accelerator Seeburg 1000   Keep up with MGMT on their website, Instagram and YouTube. Their latest album, Loss Of Life, is out now.    Tell us what you think of this episode: doingmusic@ableton.com Doing Music is brought to you by Ableton. Follow us on TikTok and Instagram.

    Making sonic collages with L'Rain

    When does self-doubt overtake the creative process? On this episode of Doing Music, L'Rain's Taja Cheek tells Craig Schuftan and co-host Christa Belle about the doubt she faces down when committing her musical ideas to a recording, especially when she’s working with others. A New York-based multi-instrumentalist with a mercurial twist on electronic soul, Cheek tells us about the various stages of her music making, from quick-fire voice notes and being alone in busy places to her love of lo-fi sound. It's a fascinating insight into the inner workings of a musician who prizes the patient art of the album to convey her ideas more deeply.  Explore further: National Sawdust Artists in Residence Program Terry Riley - Poppy Nogood and the Phantom Band Everybody Shut Up by DJ Pacman   Keep up with L’Rain on Instagram and via her website — and check out her music on Bandcamp.   Tell us what you think of this episode: doingmusic@ableton.com Doing Music is brought to you by Ableton.
