In this conversation, Hans-Martin shares his unique perspective on technology's transformative impact on music production. As a seasoned audio engineer and educator, continuously pushing the envelope, he shares some of his engaging anecdotes from his work in world-famous studios to his exploration of the shift from stereo to 3D production.

The future of audio technology comes into focus as Hans-Martin explores the exciting potential of 3D music production for artists. He provides invaluable advice for DIY artists, emphasizing the accessibility of 3D music creation. It’s more accessible than you think.

Hans-Martin tells us how he is presently working with 3D audio more than stereo and how his collaboration with Peter Gabriel came about. 

“He (Peter Gabriel) stood me up for Brian Eno, and I said, you know what? I'd stand myself up for Brian Eno.”

Another episode of Bass Freq's means another intimate conversation with an award-winning and influential bassist. This time, we feature Andrew Gouché, a player who cut his teeth in the church gospel band and quickly became a first-call session and touring musician for some of biggest names in soul and R&B. Andrew enlightens host Josh Paul with stories of his early days, his affection for certain gear including his new signature products, and invaluable advice for working with artists and sustaining a satisfying career in a competitive industry.

A world-renowned bassist, Grammy® Award winning producer, and composer, Andrew Gouché  is best known for his creatively original bass lines and a unique sound that bass players around the world have sought to emulate.  With over 30 years of experience as the bassist for many R&B and Gospel legends as Prince and the New Power Generation, Gladys Knight, Andraé Crouch, The Winans, and musical director for Chaka Khan  he is a true pioneer that has made an indelible mark on the history of Gospel music with the addition of bass guitar when there was none in church.  Today, bass guitar is a must-have in churches across America.  He has paved the way and inspired today’s generation of Gospel and R&B bassists.

Welcome to Roadcase, a podcast exploring the live music experience!!  Hop on the Roadcase bus for this informative and important conversation with spectacular Houston-based artist, Kam Franklin. Kam is the vocalist for The Suffers whose amalgamation of sound and explosion of energy has garnered heaps of praise from NPR's Bob Boilen for an amazing Tiny Desk performance, and long before that show, in an amazing twist of fate, The Suffers made their late-night debut on the David Letterman show in 2015.  Kam has been hard at work during the pandemic -- she live-streamed from her home every week for the first three months -- and since then has been working on a solo album as well as new material with The Suffers who have an upcoming album scheduled for release this Fall. A victim of sexual harassment and assault, Kam is very outspoken about her experiences and shares with us the challenges she faces on a daily basis along with talking about her relationship with live performance, and the intricacies of managing her solo career.
