1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,160 And we have with us joining us on the couch. Nolan Coda is here? 2 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,160 Am I saying your last name correctly as a Coda? That's it? 3 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:10,919 Yep? Yes, from Ion's Encoded and uh and the other band Pointless Culture 4 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,240 Culture. Yes, yes, but wonderful to have you here. Uh, 5 00:00:14,359 --> 00:00:18,879 thank you. I was saying to you off air that I said to Jenny 6 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,719 recently. You know, I've been playing this guy's music for like two years 7 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,839 on the show. We should probably have him one Yeah, thanks for having 8 00:00:24,839 --> 00:00:29,800 men and uh yeah, I always get I always get a lot of positive 9 00:00:30,679 --> 00:00:35,759 feedback on that song, Reconnection. That's so cool. It's it's it's kind 10 00:00:35,799 --> 00:00:39,359 of epic and uh yeah, it's just great. It's one of those songs 11 00:00:39,359 --> 00:00:41,880 you get stuck in my head, especially that ending. You know, it's 12 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:47,560 a very dramatic and that's quite heavy. Yeah, yeah, that's that was 13 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,280 my goal. Anyway, I like it a lot. And you're getting some 14 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,880 love in the chat room too. Uh. Marissa Coda, who I think 15 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,439 you said as your sisters my sister, Hello, yep, she says, 16 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:02,799 yay. Nolan, very nice. Uh. Riley King says hi, Nolan, 17 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,480 Hey, Reley, Well, let me ask you this first off, 18 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,159 So where did where did you come up with the name? What does the 19 00:01:07,239 --> 00:01:12,040 name mean? So it used to be Ayons apart and uh, it was 20 00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:15,079 kind of just like some kind of word play. I was just trying to 21 00:01:15,079 --> 00:01:19,959 go for just what sounded cool, and over time I was like, well, 22 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,599 I kind of want to incorporate my name, so and coda. So 23 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,840 I was like, all right, let's kind of go off that and coded 24 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,599 was born. So it was kind of like a little subtle play there, 25 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,760 and I think it sounded a little more not original, but more to my 26 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,400 liking, I guess. But yeah, it was just kind of like me 27 00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:42,799 just messing around with some words and seeing where they seeing where they landed. 28 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,280 Yeah, but it kind of stuck, like and people seem to like it 29 00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:53,879 and behold Ayons was born? Yeah, and uh and that it's all you 30 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,959 right, you play everything? Wow? Wow? How do you? I 31 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,319 mean, it's it's unique. How how do you describe it to people who 32 00:02:00,319 --> 00:02:04,519 haven't heard it? Because it's not like anything. I mean, I can 33 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,960 hear influences, but it's especially I think the vocals are part of what gives 34 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,159 it it's uniqueness. Your approach with the vocals is different. I can't think 35 00:02:12,159 --> 00:02:15,560 of anybody who quite does it like that, But how do you describe it 36 00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:17,960 to people who haven't heard it yet? It can be kind of broad. 37 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,560 So I have a lot of influence from like Pink Floyd Rush and then to 38 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:28,560 modern bands like Tool. You know, all the progressive rock slash metal bands 39 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,360 have been kind of my go to for you know, how I go about 40 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:36,599 writing my stuff. Yeah, so I kind of just not like draw ideas 41 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,879 from them, but kind of like take inspiration from what they from what they've 42 00:02:39,879 --> 00:02:43,479 done, and I just kind of make it my own, you know, 43 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,039 just kind of like putting my own twist on some things. And a lot 44 00:02:46,039 --> 00:02:50,159 of it boils down to experimentation. So you know, if you're into like 45 00:02:50,199 --> 00:02:54,240 progressive rock and you like a lot of synthesizer stuff and like very spacey, 46 00:02:54,479 --> 00:02:59,240 atmospheric type soundscapes and all that, you know, this this is the type 47 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:00,680 of stuff you'd be into. So you know, it's very niche, I 48 00:03:00,719 --> 00:03:05,599 feel, but it's fun. It's a fun genre, and you know, 49 00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:08,400 I try to keep it interesting in terms of like making one song kind of 50 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:13,680 heavier, but maybe one song a little more experimental and you know, more 51 00:03:13,759 --> 00:03:16,960 keyboard heavy, So just you know, not to have an identity crisis, 52 00:03:17,039 --> 00:03:21,759 but like, you know, keep it interesting. Yeah, as much as 53 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,879 I as much as I possibly can. So yeah, so yeah, I 54 00:03:23,879 --> 00:03:29,479 would say like progressive rock mixed with some spacey sounds is probably the best way 55 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,879 to describe it. Yeah. Yeah. Now, so you play everything you 56 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,039 do all the vocals, do you are those real drums? You also play 57 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,120 drums or program I do play drums, but being in an apartment, that's 58 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:46,719 a little tough, so I program them myself. So I use plugins, 59 00:03:46,759 --> 00:03:50,520 which are like software drums. Yeah, and I take, you know, 60 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,439 not like well, they're real samples of drums, but not my own. 61 00:03:53,719 --> 00:03:57,240 Yeah, but they're included in the software. So I take, you know, 62 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,719 what sound I want from each drum, you know, and symbol and 63 00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:02,560 not, and then I mapped them on like a meaty chart. And you 64 00:04:02,599 --> 00:04:05,840 can also play it on a keyboard because it connects by MIDI through that too, 65 00:04:06,039 --> 00:04:11,039 Yeah, but sometimes I'm not always on time, so certain sections I'll 66 00:04:11,039 --> 00:04:14,479 do just keyboard and sink them, and then other times I'll map out each 67 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,000 individual drum, which takes a lot of time, but it can be It 68 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,279 can open up my creative you know, doors a little bit more because I 69 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:26,120 can get really fast or really complex and it would sound good still, but 70 00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:30,920 like you know, gotta remember not to make it too like unrealistic, right, 71 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,079 I would say. Yeah, drums is like probably the one time consuming, 72 00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:38,240 one of the time consuming instruments that I have to do with when it 73 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,240 comes to my music, just because of it. It's it's programmed kind of 74 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,199 very incrementally. Aaron Billado, who I don't know if you know, Aaron, 75 00:04:46,399 --> 00:04:48,800 very very talented musician, he says in the chat room. I checked 76 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:54,120 it out before the show. Outstanding new fan here. Thank you very much. 77 00:04:54,319 --> 00:04:56,839 Yeah, that's awesome, you know Aaron. I don't, but I'm 78 00:04:56,879 --> 00:04:58,920 gonna check him out. Yeah, yeah, he does. It does very 79 00:04:58,959 --> 00:05:02,120 sort of experimentals. That's really cool. Yeah yeah, absolutely, thank you. 80 00:05:02,879 --> 00:05:05,240 With with the drums, so when you're mapping out the drums, when 81 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:10,959 you're doing all that, do you do you intentionally try to put in something 82 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,399 that makes it seem that makes it sound like it's not programmed. Yeah, 83 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,399 So the flexibility of I'll just say it, it's easy drummer two by tune 84 00:05:19,439 --> 00:05:24,439 track. Okay, That's what I've been using for the last few years mapping 85 00:05:24,439 --> 00:05:28,920 out drums, and they allow you to kind of humanize each drum. Yeah, 86 00:05:28,959 --> 00:05:30,959 I've heard of this. Yeah. They have like, you know, 87 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,160 certain settings. You can set velocity, which is kind of like how hard 88 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:38,480 or how soft a drum sounds, so to make it realistic. That's a 89 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,279 very variable like setting that I use, and I try to use it sparingly 90 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,560 enough where it sounds like someone's actually drumming it. Yeah. So that alone 91 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,839 is also time consuming because I don't want it to sound like, you know, 92 00:05:49,439 --> 00:05:54,480 super like processed right right, right, But you know, I'm not 93 00:05:54,519 --> 00:05:57,560 gonna lie and say that they're real drums either. Yeah, but you know, 94 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,279 you want it to kind of sound authentic, and that's what I'm trying 95 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,560 to go for us, being as authentic as I can with what tools they 96 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,720 have at my disposal. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, it's amazing 97 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:14,199 what you can do now with the technology. I had another gentleman who he's 98 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,800 got a band called Downhill Rollers but it's and it's more just a straightforward rock 99 00:06:17,879 --> 00:06:21,319 thing, really really good. But he but it's all him. He does 100 00:06:21,399 --> 00:06:25,040 it all himself, and he programs and drums, and I remember saying to 101 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,480 him, like those sound completely real, you know, like, like I 102 00:06:29,519 --> 00:06:32,480 would never have guessed, So it's really impressive what you can do now. 103 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:38,360 They've they've improved their like interface and just overall quality over the years they've I 104 00:06:38,759 --> 00:06:42,240 mean, I'm not out all that well versed in like the progression of all 105 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,040 that, but like you can tell that there's so much love put into these 106 00:06:45,079 --> 00:06:47,800 programs. Yeah, where like you could pretty much replace your drummer if you 107 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:53,079 wanted to, right and go that route. So it's really cool seeing how 108 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,639 much you can do these days from just you know, a computer. Oh 109 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,439 yeah, and some and some like d I instruments. Yeah, yeah, 110 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,399 what what's your what's your first instrument? Obviously you play multiple instruments. What 111 00:07:04,439 --> 00:07:10,560 did you start out on? Actually I started on piano Oka, but I 112 00:07:10,879 --> 00:07:14,360 uh, you know that that was kind of like my gateway into music because 113 00:07:14,439 --> 00:07:17,160 you know, my grandparents had a really old Casio keyboard from like the late 114 00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:21,000 eighties that I would kind of mess around on and then that's kind of like 115 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,800 what got me into guitar later on, is you know, and that's like 116 00:07:25,839 --> 00:07:30,279 my main instrument now aside from bass. Yeah. So like but keyboard has 117 00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:33,399 been the best way for me to learn everything about music. That I know 118 00:07:33,519 --> 00:07:39,240 today, or at least have me start out on music, and it's very 119 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,959 versatile and it was a lot of fun to learn on and then just kind 120 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,959 of, you know, went from there to drums, keyboard, like synthesizers, 121 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,959 keyboards and you know, guitar and all that and kind of expanded from 122 00:07:48,959 --> 00:07:55,560 there. I've heard a lot of music teachers say that that everyone should at 123 00:07:55,639 --> 00:08:01,439 least learn some basic keyboard skills that will help you and everything. Not advice. 124 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,560 I ever thought. I'm a bass player and I can play a little 125 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,720 bit of guitar. I never I never learned. I've never learned anything on 126 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,120 keyboard and I probably never will. But but but I have heard a lot 127 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,839 of music teachers say that that's really the best foundation you could ask for, 128 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,639 is if you start out on keyboard, or if you already play something else, 129 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,199 if you go back and just try to learn you know, you just 130 00:08:20,279 --> 00:08:26,319 basic stuff scales and whatnot, and it'll actually really help you exactly, especially 131 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,120 the C major scale. That's how it's pretty much mapped around, and you 132 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,039 just kind of experiment from there or learned. You can kind of use that 133 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,720 as your foundation and then kind of like learning other scales from that sam major 134 00:08:35,759 --> 00:08:37,759 scale and like learning all the other stuff from there. So yeah, it's 135 00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:41,080 it's a great starting point. I remember those old casios. Was it a 136 00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:45,559 was it a little one or was it? Because I swear it shrunk on 137 00:08:45,639 --> 00:08:48,080 me because I started young, right, So like I swear it was like, 138 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,639 you know, like a full sized keyboard. Then the one day I 139 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,440 went over to play it, like I don't know, maybe four years old 140 00:08:54,519 --> 00:08:56,039 or something like that, I swear it shrunk, yeah, because I don't 141 00:08:56,039 --> 00:08:58,440 know, or five years old or something like that. But yeah, it's 142 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:03,000 it's a out like it's a it's a what is it a forty two key 143 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:07,399 or something like that board. It's it's it's fairly small keys. Yeah, 144 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,039 something you'd probably find on like a MIDI controller right right, you know, 145 00:09:11,279 --> 00:09:16,519 or something like that. So like it was comfortable, yes, you know, 146 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,720 even when I was getting older and you know, my hands were getting 147 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,039 a little bit bigger and all that, it was still fun to play. 148 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:26,120 And I still have one, right, you know, not the same condition 149 00:09:26,159 --> 00:09:28,200 as it was back then, but it's in my apartment right now, sitting 150 00:09:28,279 --> 00:09:33,440 in the corner, so yeah, still there. I think I have one 151 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:39,120 in a in a storage in it there because even though I never really learned 152 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,279 to play it, I did have one, and I think it it's it's 153 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,799 but it's a little one if I'm remembering it correctly, and I think it 154 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,399 I think it took like I think it took D batteries. Yep, that's 155 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,039 what mine took, really, yes of them to be exactly. Yeah, 156 00:09:52,159 --> 00:09:58,120 yeah, that's a power sucker. Exactly. Has your process changed over the 157 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:03,240 years with with the Ian's encoded a little bit? You know, I try 158 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,600 to do all the production myself, so it was kind of like me learning 159 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,559 how to do it all my own, which was very tedious to say the 160 00:10:09,639 --> 00:10:13,440 least. But you know, if you listen to my very first like demo 161 00:10:13,519 --> 00:10:16,600 track, Exordium, like that was just kind of me throwing some tracks together 162 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,480 see how things worked, yeah, and then kind of like showcasing the sound 163 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,360 I was going for in a way, so I kind of like keeping that 164 00:10:24,399 --> 00:10:28,759 synthy stuff and then getting heavier. So, you know, I think overall, 165 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,399 like my process has kind of stayed the same in terms of how I 166 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,240 compose, but when it comes to the production of it, I've gotten a 167 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,879 lot more what's the word critical of it, because you know, my ears. 168 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,600 You know, when you do like music on your own, it takes 169 00:10:43,639 --> 00:10:46,720 a lot out of you, especially you know in your ears. Yeah, 170 00:10:46,279 --> 00:10:50,000 the ear fatigue is I think what they call it, and it's it's a 171 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,759 lot. But you know, I try to keep it streamlined, and the 172 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,519 easier it gets easier the more I do it, because like I kind of 173 00:10:58,519 --> 00:11:01,039 find what works and what doesn't work. And that's the fun of the experimentation 174 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,039 that I that I get to, you know, go through and uh yeah, 175 00:11:07,159 --> 00:11:09,120 I think I've improved just in terms of production, but like you know, 176 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:13,159 how I go about writing and putting it all together, it is kind 177 00:11:13,159 --> 00:11:16,879 of stayed the same. Is a lot of because you mentioned there's a lot 178 00:11:16,879 --> 00:11:22,039 of experimentation. Do do you have some songs where you've kind of where you 179 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,000 kind of write it all out and then you go to record it or do 180 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:31,159 you ever or is it mostly just kind of experimenting as you go. Uh 181 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,759 so, yeah, that's a good question. So a few songs I have 182 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:39,240 like actually written out completely. One of them actually, the whole EP were 183 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,279 reconnections on the Cosmic Archives. That whole EP was actually tabbed out on a 184 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:48,840 software called guitar Pro, and I kind of put all the structure together on 185 00:11:48,879 --> 00:11:52,080 that. I programmed the drums through that, like but through like sheet music, 186 00:11:52,159 --> 00:11:56,159 so it was even more tedious. Yeah yeah, but it helped me 187 00:11:56,279 --> 00:11:58,399 like kind of established the basis of what I wanted to go for and I 188 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,440 was able to change there without having to worry about recording anything. And I 189 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,879 didn't know about like scratch at the time, where you can like record stuff 190 00:12:05,919 --> 00:12:09,279 like kind of on like a piece of paper in your computer, ye type 191 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,840 of thing. And you know, just that's how I kind of did all 192 00:12:11,879 --> 00:12:15,960 that because like when it comes to recording, you always picture it kind of 193 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,960 being like you gotta do this in one take. It's not the case for 194 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,399 me, like I've been able to like do it all kind of in sections. 195 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,600 You can do it comfortably and I can adjust things if I need to. 196 00:12:24,799 --> 00:12:31,720 But the more experimental songs, like on my first album's inspect Element, 197 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,720 which was oh my god, it's almost two years old now, that's just 198 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:41,360 crazy. So Theoretical and Beyond the Mirror are two of the instrumental songs on 199 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,480 that that I kind of just you know, messed around with that just come 200 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:48,320 up with like a way to bridge into the next songs. Yeah, afterwards, 201 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,840 which were also mapped out, you know, in software and written out. 202 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:56,000 Yeah, just trying. It's more of those just like tiny musical ideas 203 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,639 that I kind of like what sounds I'm kind of like what sounds good, 204 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,240 and well, this work will not work and that's super fun for me. 205 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:09,080 Yeah, and they turn out really fun, Like it's really really fun to 206 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,240 listen to. Do you do you ever have an idea that you end up 207 00:13:11,639 --> 00:13:16,000 you end up throwing away that you you maybe you were excited about, but 208 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:16,840 then you go to do it, you go to record it, and you're 209 00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:20,799 like, ah, this isn't working. Oh hundreds really yeah, yeah, 210 00:13:20,879 --> 00:13:24,039 I'm like the guy throwing out those little crumples of paper in the trash. 211 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:28,799 Been all the time. But you know, the cool thing about technology is 212 00:13:28,799 --> 00:13:31,360 that you can erase things and rework them without having to, you know, 213 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,759 worry about throwing stuff away for real. Right, So if I don't end 214 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,440 up liking an idea, I can just kind of readjust and like fix it 215 00:13:39,519 --> 00:13:43,120 and or add stuff to it what have you, And then it kind of 216 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,919 I kind of like to make things work, yeah, because you know, 217 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,559 I like to craft my ideas but not have them go to waste. So 218 00:13:50,879 --> 00:13:54,639 there are some ideas and each of my songs that are probably actually not probably, 219 00:13:54,679 --> 00:14:01,480 they are borrowed from previous ideas. So hidden Away Verse Riff is actually 220 00:14:01,519 --> 00:14:05,200 a song that I wrote back in like twenty twelve that I didn't really have 221 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,879 any way to record, so I was like, this, first kind of 222 00:14:07,919 --> 00:14:13,399 cool, let's put that in. So but there's still a fair share of 223 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,120 like different ideas that just would not work for the songs I already have out 224 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,960 or probably would not fit my sound at all. So but that's the life 225 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,480 of being a composer. I guess you have those ideas that go to waste, 226 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,960 and you have those ideas that stick and you want to reuse. Jay 227 00:14:28,039 --> 00:14:33,559 fad in the chat room and he yes everybody this question. He says, 228 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,039 Uh, have you ever considered increasing the length of your beard? I want 229 00:14:37,039 --> 00:14:41,600 to? Yeah, yeah, I'd like to. I try to keep it 230 00:14:41,679 --> 00:14:46,559 somewhat neat, but you know it, I don't have the best luck with 231 00:14:46,639 --> 00:14:48,559 my beard sometimes, so really doesn't get to it. It gets a little 232 00:14:48,559 --> 00:14:52,120 scraggly, so I got a tame it sometimes, which reminds me I got 233 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:56,840 to do that fairly soon. But yes, I would like to grow it 234 00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,440 a little more, say with my hair. That's my next produ jack really 235 00:15:00,519 --> 00:15:05,399 Yeah. Now, so have you ever I'm assuming not, But have you 236 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,320 ever played any of this live in front of people or No? No, 237 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,799 I maybe one day I will, but you know, because it's all solo 238 00:15:13,919 --> 00:15:16,000 stuff, a lot of it, you know, I'd have to like have 239 00:15:16,039 --> 00:15:20,399 a band for hire and you know, and have the time to assemble all 240 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,679 that and actually practice them again. Yeah, but no, I've I've you 241 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:30,200 know, thought about potentially doing something like that sometime in the future, if 242 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,120 you know, it got to that point. But you know, I think 243 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:37,200 it'd be difficult to assemble right now because there's so many moving parts and there's 244 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,240 you probably need about six keyboard. It's probably I love to layer things. 245 00:15:41,519 --> 00:15:46,799 Yeah, but it's on the table, just I don't know when it's very 246 00:15:46,879 --> 00:15:48,440 up in the air. I mean, the other option would be to you 247 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:54,519 know, just just play in front of backing tracks and yeah, that that's 248 00:15:54,559 --> 00:15:58,080 also a possibility too. That's something I've kind of toyed with here and there. 249 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,840 Yeah, it's just a matter of kind of getting it all together. 250 00:16:02,159 --> 00:16:04,320 Yeah, I'm not opposed to it. Yeah, that'd be fun. But 251 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,600 yeah, either way, it would be a lot of work, no doubt. 252 00:16:07,679 --> 00:16:12,320 Yeah. Uh Frasier Ramsey and the chat room says hey from Edinburgh, 253 00:16:12,399 --> 00:16:18,519 Scotland. Well, hello, hello, very nice.

And you know, we were kind of talking off air 289 00:23:49,559 --> 00:23:52,200 while I was playing kind of a little bit of an eighties vibe there with 290 00:23:52,279 --> 00:23:56,039 the keyboard riff, which is really catchy. Yeah. I wanted to like 291 00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:00,720 replicate kind of a d X seven types sound like a Yamaha electric piano. 292 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,880 Yeah, and kind of like put some modern twist on that, add some 293 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,640 reverb to it and call it a day.

You were saying, yeah, yeah, Harrison 305 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,359 Himan is our drummer and he's a very talented individual. I want to give 306 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,200 him a quick shout out. He's an awesome dude.

Now with Pointless Culture, 318 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,240 you guys are you're currently recording right you're recording on an album. Yeah, 319 00:25:44,519 --> 00:25:48,480 we're recording an EP and then an album hopefully fairly soon after that. 320 00:25:48,839 --> 00:25:52,559 So we have like a four track we're working on right now, and yesterday 321 00:25:52,599 --> 00:25:56,720 we just finished up two of those and then we gotta record one more and 322 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,880 then we're pretty much on part of release it probably the next month or two. 323 00:26:02,279 --> 00:26:06,920 So that's really exciting. It's it's more of like an indie punk type 324 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,119 mix. Okay, so it's a lot different than what I write, but 325 00:26:10,319 --> 00:26:14,000 it's like in my wheelhouse still and it's so much fun. Yeah, our 326 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:18,480 lead guy, who's also named Harrison, is a fantastic songwriter. A lot 327 00:26:18,519 --> 00:26:22,119 of the songs are all of his, pretty much all of them actually, 328 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,480 and I want to give him some love too, and Ben in the band 329 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:30,000 fantastic musicians, very fun to work with. So yeah, we're we're on 330 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,319 part or release that pretty soon. It's gonna be just a little four track 331 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,279 and kind of like going over each of our style and you know, kind 332 00:26:37,319 --> 00:26:40,599 of like what we are as a band, who we are as a band. 333 00:26:40,839 --> 00:26:42,240 So we're looking forward to that. What do you do in that? 334 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,160 In that band? I'm the bass player. Okay, that's what I figured 335 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,880 because in the picture on Facebook, you're yep, he's got a bass. 336 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,079 Yeah, and there's two guys named Harrison in the band. There is, 337 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,759 yeah, very rare occurrence. Yeah yeah, I mean Harrison is not a 338 00:26:56,799 --> 00:26:59,519 super unusual name, but it's not super common either, so yeah, that's 339 00:26:59,519 --> 00:27:02,799 funny, like in between, right, yeah, and they both go by 340 00:27:02,839 --> 00:27:07,039 Harrison, like neither of them's Harry or well, uh no, actually I 341 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,079 just number them in my phone, so they're kind of an order on how 342 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:15,160 I met them. So H one is who I named our drummer, Harrison 343 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,960 and who I used to live with, and H two is our frontman and 344 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,039 you know, kind of the lead and savior of the band as I call 345 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:26,640 them. But it's like a huge family in that band. We got a 346 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,440 whole like crew. It's it's a lot of fun. We just played in 347 00:27:29,519 --> 00:27:33,920 Warner at the Summer Jam this past Saturday, a lot of fun. Played 348 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,359 to play a couple of new songs that we had, you know, in 349 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,799 the works, and they went super well. So you know, this is 350 00:27:40,279 --> 00:27:42,640 this is really fun to have, like as a you know kind of like 351 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:47,240 I guess my main priority right now, just because like I haven't had like 352 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:52,440 a working original band before, and while guitar has always been like my main 353 00:27:52,519 --> 00:27:56,920 instrument, I have found so much fun and enjoy playing bass. It's kind 354 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,680 of like opened up that passion right back up again that you know may have 355 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,720 like kind of dwindled over time because music is kind of like taxing at times. 356 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:10,559 Sure, but like just playing a new instrument primarily like that is a 357 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,640 huge like just breath or fresh air. Well, I was gonna say too, 358 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,359 it must be a relief in a way. I mean, obviously you 359 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,920 have a lot of passion for Jan's encoded, but at the same time, 360 00:28:18,799 --> 00:28:22,119 not having to do everything yourself must be nice. Yes, yeah, huge 361 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:26,480 relief. But you know, we all get to you know, pull our 362 00:28:26,559 --> 00:28:27,880 way. We get to put on our input that we you know, when 363 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,519 it comes to like writing O our songs and like how they want to go, 364 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,480 you know, our our direction, and you know, it's it's nice 365 00:28:34,519 --> 00:28:38,039 to have that brotherhood with each other. We're like very tight knit, and 366 00:28:38,519 --> 00:28:42,319 you know, we always come to like some kind of like solution or conclusion 367 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,640 to how we want to go about saying like recording the song or writing this 368 00:28:45,759 --> 00:28:51,200 song, or what we play live, et cetera. So it's a fun 369 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:55,319 time and just couldn't ask for a better group of people. Now, the 370 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,839 the EP that you're recording, now, will that be the first thing that 371 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:03,680 you've released as a band. No. Last October, I think October six 372 00:29:03,759 --> 00:29:10,839 we released some homebrew recordings called the Sampler, which was three of our songs 373 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:15,119 that we started, you know, our shows with the Line's Been Drawn left 374 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:21,279 Off in Little House. So those we recorded actually in our drummer, Harrison's 375 00:29:21,759 --> 00:29:25,799 work, and we kind of just set everything up through a mixer and just 376 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:27,400 kind of like you know, just just got something out there and it turned 377 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,240 out it came out pretty good, I would say, you know, for 378 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:36,359 for being kind of done on our own and fairly quickly. Yeah. But 379 00:29:37,079 --> 00:29:41,240 our first recorded like professional song like through Cedar House Sound in Sutton. Jerry 380 00:29:41,279 --> 00:29:47,200 Pott incredible guy to work with, very very fun guy to talk to as 381 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:52,400 well. We recorded Severed Ties in a studio back in November, released it 382 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,960 in December, and that was like our first, like I guess, breakthrough 383 00:29:56,039 --> 00:30:00,559 song and kind of bringing us out into like the professionalism side of things, 384 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,400 and we're working with him again for this EP, and it's just been an 385 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,920 overall fantastic experience. Okay, it gets better and better. Good goody has 386 00:30:08,039 --> 00:30:11,960 the How long has Pointless Culture been around? Because I feel like I've heard 387 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,480 the name even before Jenny mentioned that she had booked you for the show, 388 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:19,079 I feel like I've heard of the band. So it's the four of us 389 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:23,759 have been a band with four members since about March, but we were a 390 00:30:23,839 --> 00:30:26,599 three piece with I was with the other two Harrisons for about a year. 391 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,559 Oh okay, and then the other two Harrisons who went by h Squared or 392 00:30:30,559 --> 00:30:34,039 Harrison Squared back then, they were like, you know, jamming out. 393 00:30:34,119 --> 00:30:37,880 They've reconnected with each other, and you know, I was like, hey, 394 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,200 I want I want to play bass, you know, but they asked 395 00:30:40,279 --> 00:30:41,359 me as well, and I was like, yeah, let's do it. 396 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,559 So we just kind of like formed it, you know, one by one 397 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,079 in a way, so as a full three and four piece band. Depending 398 00:30:48,079 --> 00:30:51,400 on how you look at it, I guess like we really got our start 399 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:56,440 a year ago and Ben our second second guitarists back in February March time frame. 400 00:30:56,839 --> 00:31:00,240 I did that. That's a cool name. Two pointless called sure, 401 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,880 what's what's the origin of that name? So the both Harrison's were trying to 402 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,400 come up with a name, and if I correct me, if I'm wrong, 403 00:31:07,519 --> 00:31:11,440 guys, if you're listening, I think they were gonna go with divorce 404 00:31:11,559 --> 00:31:15,839 Culture and then pointless something. But then they like kind of mended that, 405 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,960 mended them together. Some Pointless Culture was born. Yeah, I kind of 406 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,599 fuzzy details, yeah, but you know, they were kind of going the 407 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,799 same row I did and kind of like seeing, you know what sounded pretty 408 00:31:26,839 --> 00:31:30,440 good. You know, we're generators are great when it comes to that, 409 00:31:30,599 --> 00:31:33,799 and you got to try to find something that's not taken or right, you 410 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,759 know, is open to be used with. So I think it kind of 411 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,519 started the same way that my name did, but they kind of blended towards 412 00:31:41,599 --> 00:31:45,720 together from other names, and so you know, Pointless Culture was born. 413 00:31:47,039 --> 00:31:49,240 And I love the name too. It's fantastic. Oh yeah. Yeah. 414 00:31:49,359 --> 00:31:53,079 Trying to find something that's not already taken that can be uh, that can 415 00:31:53,119 --> 00:31:57,599 be one of the hardest things. I mean, it's a lot easier than 416 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,720 it used to be because now you know, you can google it, you 417 00:32:00,759 --> 00:32:02,559 can look it up. But I remember a time. I've told this story 418 00:32:02,599 --> 00:32:05,759 on the show before, but I had a friend I went to high school 419 00:32:05,799 --> 00:32:08,920 with, and I remember running into him a couple of years after high school, 420 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:13,160 and he was a musician too, and he told me about this new 421 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,720 band he was in, this uh rock band, and I said, what's 422 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:20,720 the name? And he said Intuition And he said that to me, and 423 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,880 immediately I'm thinking, oh god, there's probably so many bands that have already 424 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,519 used that name. And then, swear to god, I ran into him 425 00:32:28,519 --> 00:32:32,200 again a few months later and the same place, and I said, how's 426 00:32:32,279 --> 00:32:35,519 the band, And he said, good, except we had to change our 427 00:32:35,599 --> 00:32:37,519 name because we heard from another band already using that name. And I'm too 428 00:32:37,599 --> 00:32:40,079 polite to say anything, but in my mind, I'm thinking, yeah, 429 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:45,440 of course, of course you had to change it. Intuition, like the 430 00:32:45,519 --> 00:32:46,920 most obvious, you know what I mean, Like, of course, it's 431 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:52,119 probably a million different bands that have used that name, So yeah, that 432 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:53,599 can be. That can be a big part of the challenge is is finding 433 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:57,559 something where you're not going to run into a problem later exactly. Yeah, 434 00:32:57,559 --> 00:33:00,240 the more words the better, and the less common the word the bet or 435 00:33:00,279 --> 00:33:02,720 two, it's it's very competitive out there, not just with music but with 436 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:07,839 naming your music and all that. But you know, I'm glad we're able 437 00:33:07,839 --> 00:33:10,119 to both find something both you know, the band and myself, something that 438 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:15,519 we could both use and call our own. Yeah, that's really really fortunate 439 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,480 to be able to say that we can do that. Now, did you 440 00:33:17,519 --> 00:33:22,920 guys play out a lot with that project? Yeah? We played at the 441 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:27,279 Bang and Answer Stage last August this past August, and that was our probably 442 00:33:27,319 --> 00:33:30,559 our biggest show yet. But we haven't played a ton. We've played maybe 443 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:34,720 six or so. We have one coming up in Acworth on the twenty third, 444 00:33:35,559 --> 00:33:39,839 and our first one was at Tandy's Pub in downtown Conqueror and that was 445 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:44,400 the night before It was kind of like a little release party for Sabatias because 446 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:45,599 it was coming out that midnight, you know, of the of the next 447 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,880 day. Yea. So we were like, let's, you know, let's 448 00:33:49,119 --> 00:33:51,839 do a cool little show there. And we got some help from a friend 449 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,319 of ours, Kurt Felder, who runs like, you know, kind of 450 00:33:54,359 --> 00:33:59,880 like music journal journaling, like YouTube videos and very talented guy. Yeah, 451 00:34:00,599 --> 00:34:04,200 really cool guy too, and he helped us get that gig. Okay, 452 00:34:04,319 --> 00:34:06,960 So and then you know, we had kind of like a little drought in 453 00:34:07,039 --> 00:34:08,760 between. We added Ben, we were kind of learning some new songs. 454 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:13,679 Then it wasn't until maybe this past you know, summer, where we started 455 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,480 to really get some more shows booked. But it can be tough to get 456 00:34:15,519 --> 00:34:22,199 them booked now. Yeah, I mean summer is usually probably the busiest time, 457 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,519 oh yeah, for you guys as far as shows, right. I 458 00:34:24,599 --> 00:34:28,760 mean, I know a lot of bands will you know, kind of use 459 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,599 winter to sort of record and then you know, and then you know, 460 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:36,880 spring, summer, early fall to play out. But it seems to be 461 00:34:37,039 --> 00:34:38,880 the the easiest one. I mean, you know, I don't play anymore, 462 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:40,639 but when I was in bands, I was always to me, that 463 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:44,320 was always the best way to do it, because you know, in the 464 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:49,719 winter it's just miserable to Yeah, I've played shows before when I was lugging 465 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:54,679 equipment in the winter up upstairs outside and slipping almost dropping stuff and it's miserable. 466 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:59,079 Yeah. But yeah, we're kind of going that same route. You 467 00:34:59,119 --> 00:35:00,920 know, we're just trying to take and maybe the winner maybe a few shows 468 00:35:01,039 --> 00:35:04,719 here and there, but like kind of taking that time to really focus on 469 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,920 recording more stuff. Yeah, because we have so many things that we want 470 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,400 to add to you know, the music world out there, so you know, 471 00:35:10,679 --> 00:35:14,320 it's it's kind of like the opportune time to do all that. Yeah, 472 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,239 we're really trying to book for next year. Yeah, excellent, Spring 473 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:21,199 summer excellent, excellent. Well why don't we play another? Why don't we 474 00:35:21,199 --> 00:35:24,159 play another eons encoded song? I yeah, I definitely want to get one 475 00:35:24,199 --> 00:35:28,239 more in before we run out of time. But I'll let I'll let you 476 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,440 choose one again. What suck. Let's go back to the first album, 477 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:38,400 inspect Element. Let's do let's do heading Away, Hidden Away. Yeah, 478 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:42,280 I think I've listened to that one. That's the one I wanted to go 479 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,239 for a deftnestyle style vocal. Oh okay, well I'm very okay, I 480 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,119 don't I don't think I did listen to this one. Then all right, 481 00:35:47,159 --> 00:35:51,599 well I'm very curious now, all right, cool, So let's give this 482 00:35:51,679 --> 00:35:55,280 a listen. This is this is hidden Away. The artist is eons encoded, 483 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:59,480 and that is eons encoded on the couch. That is Nolan Coda, 484 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,559 the and behind NS and coated. Let's check this out. This is called 485 00:36:02,719 --> 00:41:00,159 hidden Away. Yer pick the three worm me more tree. You got those 486 00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,920 dramatic endings. I love it. That is. Uh, that one's called 487 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:08,840 Hidden Away and that is Eons Encoded And Nolan Coda from Eons Encoded is here 488 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,920 with us. He is on the couch and we do have another family member. 489 00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:16,079 I believe Belinda Brooks Coda is in the Facebook live chat. Hey Graham, 490 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:21,239 very nice, very nice. It's quil that they that they're supportive and 491 00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,159 that uh you know, they come out to listen. I love it. 492 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:29,239 I love it. That is that is outstanding. Now what obviously, so 493 00:41:29,519 --> 00:41:31,800 you're you're pretty busy, it sounds like with pointless culture. But do you 494 00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:36,000 have more eons and coded music coming as well? Or I have a I 495 00:41:36,079 --> 00:41:38,920 have a couple of songs that I'm kind of slowly chipping away at. Uh. 496 00:41:39,199 --> 00:41:45,760 One of them is an older track I had back in like twenty fourteen 497 00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:50,599 called Vanishing Point, and I don't know when that'll be done, but it's 498 00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,039 it's got about a minute or so so far, just uh gotta you know, 499 00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,880 just you know, get at it and when I can. Yeah, 500 00:41:58,559 --> 00:42:00,719 it's so high. Yeah, with with how much I'm doing and how many 501 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,119 you know, different products, I'm a part of it. You know, 502 00:42:04,159 --> 00:42:07,800 it's hard to find that time, uh to really sit down and focus on 503 00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:13,199 that stuff. But it's it's gonna come. It's gonna come, and there's 504 00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,639 yeah, I'm never gonna stop doing AONs. It's just I don't know when 505 00:42:16,519 --> 00:42:21,880 you know I'm gonna be able to like pick it up again comfortably and stay 506 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,480 with it. And you know, burning out, burning yourself out's just you 507 00:42:25,559 --> 00:42:30,679 know, not the move right right, So, but it's gonna come. 508 00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:35,480 It's gonna come. My Facebook and Instagram, are you know the best way 509 00:42:35,559 --> 00:42:37,920 to keep in you know, contact with me or see what I'm up to 510 00:42:38,119 --> 00:42:42,880 for especially AONs because I have just made an account for that not long ago, 511 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,119 just to keep it separate from my own my own stuff. But all 512 00:42:46,159 --> 00:42:50,000 those updates will be on there, uh you know when I get to it. 513 00:42:50,199 --> 00:42:52,360 But I got a couple of things, yeah, I'm working on. 514 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:58,159 And for people looking for eons encoded online too, we should just clarify for 515 00:42:58,199 --> 00:43:01,960 anyone who doesn't know EON's is spelled A E O N S. People might 516 00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:06,159 be looking for it without the A and unable to find it. But I 517 00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,039 wanted to go with the European spelling it look cooler. Yeah, yeah, 518 00:43:08,559 --> 00:43:10,719 I don't know if I've ever seen it spelled the other way? Can you? 519 00:43:12,559 --> 00:43:15,360 Is it sometimes spelled without the A? Yeah, I discovered the e 520 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:20,440 o NS is kind of the more western US way of spelling it, but 521 00:43:20,599 --> 00:43:22,760 like with the added A is kind of European. It just looked cooler to 522 00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:24,719 me. Oh yeah, yeah, no, it is cool. I think 523 00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:29,159 it's pronounced the same. You can say AONs it's all, it all means 524 00:43:29,199 --> 00:43:31,320 the same thing. Yeah, yeah, see, I have seen it spelled 525 00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:35,440 without the A, but I just assumed it. Who people who are spelling 526 00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,119 it without the A, we're spelling it wrong. But but but maybe that 527 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:42,880 is maybe that is acceptable. English is weird, Yeah yeah, or sometimes 528 00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:46,280 things are wrong, but over time they become accepted because exactly spelled wrong or 529 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:51,320 spoken wrong so often. Yeah, I just thought it looked pretty cool. 530 00:43:51,519 --> 00:43:53,199 Yeah, yeah, no, it does. It definitely does. It definitely 531 00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:57,400 does. Well. I'm really glad you joined us today and we'll we'll actually 532 00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,320 close out the show with one more track in a moment.
