Holy Grammys! Tiny Giant Jams returns with a right humdinger - an interview with Claire L. Evans of US electro-pop pioneers YACHT. They created their  2019 album Chain Tripping using machine learning, neural networks, old tracks and collaborations aplenty with AI luminaries such as Mario Klingemann, Cristobal Valenzula, Tom White and Ross Goodwin. The end result: an AI-human-powered album of effortless craft and awesomeness. Claire talks us through the origins of the album, the techniques YACHT used and what the future might hold for a band who always dare to take risks. Enjoy!

After a titchy, tiny hiatus, we're back. And we return with a splendid episode featuring fellow Pervasive Media Studio resident James Wheale.  In conversation, he took us through his love of food, his many immersive art, cultural and gaming experiences (occasionally featuring zombies, DJ Yoda and chocolate), his first-hand views on running a business and his work with Business West encouraging innovation and success throughout the South West. 

This TGJ episode is packed with insight gold. So settle back and enjoy a quality half hour with Kerry, Norts and their awesome guest JW.

So recently Tiny Giant have been collaborating on the world's first AI gin with Bristol's Circumstance Distillery and strategists Rewrite Digital . It's been a fascinating project and we're wildly excited that Monker's Garkel now lives for you to try, buy and enjoy. We also thought it would be  the perfect opportunity to sit down with Liam and Danny from Circumstance to talk about their love for spirit-based innovation. A gin created through the predictive power of machines is not their first encounter with tech. So pour yourself a cheeky tipple and listen to their story. Chin, chin!

Andrew is honest, open and shares loads of great thoughts and ideas as to how the world of business is and what it takes to succeed. Feel free to dive on in!
