About this episode
We’ve been having a look back through the Tape Notes archive to bring back some of our favourite early episodes that you may have missed. This selection is our conversation from November 2019, with Sam Shepard, Floating Points.EPISODE NOTESIn this episode John heads to EMS4 studios in Shoreditch to chat with Floating Points a.k.a Sam Shepherd, about how he recorded and produced his latest release, Crush. Talking from deep within Sam’s musical laboratory, we peer behind the curtain and find out how Floating Points music is created and crafted, pulling apart some of the tracks from his second album along the way. We get to hear how live performance and classical music are a serious influence in his writing process in addition to experimenting with the impressive number of synths he’s collected over the years. Geekery is in abundance in this episode. Listen to find out why space was scant in Sam’s student bedroom, who sick Anna actually is and why sometimes all you need is a Yamaha Reface CS in your backpack. Tracks discussed: Last Bloom, Annasickmodualr, Bias.TAPE ITThanks to our friends at Tape It for supporting the podcast.Visit tape.it/tapenotes or use the promo code TAPENOTES in the app to get 50% off.MUSIVERSALSkip the waitlist and get your 25% discount HERE LINKS TO EVERYTHING TAPE NOTES https://linktr.ee/tapenotes Listen to 'Crush' here.'Crush' - Pluto Records, Ninja Tune.Intro Music - Sunshine Buddy, Laurel Collective GEAR MENTIONSLogic ProAbletonSibeliusAkai S950 SamplerAPI Desk ARP 2600ARP Rhodes ChromaBuchla SynthKorg Volca Beats Marshall Time ModulatorMAM ADX1Dunlop MXR FlangerNeve Preamps Publison Infernal Machine Multi-Effects Processor
