This interview was another excuse buster for anyone out there who says they need x y or z piece of gear, fancy plugin, studio time, or any other reason you can’t make music.
Fred’s excitement is infectious when he talks about how mental it is he can be anywhere in the world, capture samples, sounds, and inspiration on his iPhone, then go sit in the park with his laptop and make a record.
He recommends listening to your sketches on the built in phone speakers, which forces you to make decisions about the actual track/feeling of the song, and not get technical about how your kick drum sits in the mix.
He also raves about the compression algorithm in the iPhone voice memo software, specifically the one in the WhatsApp voice memo, and overall just exudes creativity and a passion for his work.
Check out this interview and then stop procrastinating and go make some music! Speaking directly to myself.
