Speaker 1: love all the music you sent us. And we have
Speaker 1: another song too that we're going to play at the
Speaker 1: end of our segment today, another great studio track. But
Speaker 1: before we go any further too, for those who are
Speaker 1: watching online on your platform of choice, whether it be
Speaker 1: Facebook or YouTube or even we even stream on LinkedIn.
Speaker 1: But I want to show off for the camera. This
Speaker 1: this rubber bracelet or what's the term. It's a risk
Speaker 1: band wristband.
Speaker 6: Thank you.
Speaker 1: I was blanking on the name, So tell us about
Speaker 1: this so that it says think like a proton, always positive,
Speaker 1: which I really like. And it's got your it's got
Speaker 1: your name on it, of course, Mark Winter. Good good branding.
Speaker 6: But but but yeah, tell us about that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm you know, I'm my undergraduate degrees in aerospace engineering.
Speaker 5: I took a a left turn at Albuquerque and became
Speaker 5: an artist instead. But I did practice for a little bit,
Speaker 5: and my brain has always lived in both the world
Speaker 5: of poetry and science. And so when I think about,
Speaker 5: you know, the world, a lot of times I think,
Speaker 5: you know through those both of those lenses, And when
Speaker 5: I rolled out.
Speaker 7: The glass was always like half full.
Speaker 3: For me.
Speaker 5: I always see the world in a positive way. When
Speaker 5: I meet people, I look for the good in them.
Speaker 5: When I sit in a songwriting circle, I look for
Speaker 5: the best of everyone to try and combine it together.
Speaker 5: I've always had that sort of positive view of the world,
Speaker 5: and it's hard.
Speaker 7: For me not to put it in my lyrics.
Speaker 5: And so when I show up to play a show somewhere,
Speaker 5: my goal is to create more positive energy for everyone
Speaker 5: who's attending a show for me. And if I've done that,
Speaker 5: then I've had a great day and I feel like
Speaker 5: I've contributed to the universe.
Speaker 7: And my Grandma would be proud of me for for
Speaker 7: making the world a little writer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's outstanding. Can you tell us you a little
Speaker 1: bit more about your background? And by the way, so
Speaker 1: I am someone who you know. Jenny was talking earlier
Speaker 1: about how she's not good at things like math and science.
Speaker 1: I'm the same way, although Jenny's better at math than
Speaker 1: she realizes because she does that amazing macrima.
Speaker 6: And I always say, what's that? It is math? It
Speaker 6: is math, it's it's me. It's geometry, Am I right?
Speaker 7: Geometry? It's applied physics?
Speaker 1: Yes it is yes, see, So there you go, there
Speaker 1: you go. An expert is is master. Yes, so so
Speaker 1: she's and she's incredible at doing that. But like I can't,
Speaker 1: you know, I was always math and science were always
Speaker 1: very hard for me in school.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 1: I excelled more with with reading, comprehension and writing and
Speaker 1: things like that, and history I was good at. But
Speaker 1: math and science I was always terrible at.
Speaker 4: But what what is it that?
Speaker 1: So obviously you're you know, really good at those things,
Speaker 1: but what is it that that brought you into into music?
Speaker 1: And because you're you're doing this as your full time
Speaker 1: career now.
Speaker 7: Right, it's my it's my thing. Yeah, it's my vibe.
Speaker 5: So in twenty eleven, I wanted to do something musical
Speaker 5: and never had done anything artistically. My grandmother, when I
Speaker 5: was five, had taught me to write poetry. So my
Speaker 5: whole life I've been writing poetry, which is amazing. I
Speaker 5: think that created the sort of juxtaposition in my brain
Speaker 5: of all these thoughts because I started with her. My
Speaker 5: inclination was math and science, and so in twenty eleven
Speaker 5: I put it on the list, I'm going to do it.
Speaker 5: I bought a guitar from a local guitar shop and
Speaker 5: on the sly I learned to play a song for
Speaker 5: my wife for anniversary, okay, And I thought, oh, three months,
Speaker 5: there's plenty of time to do. Go from nothing like
Speaker 5: no musical experience to performing a song for my wife,
Speaker 5: which was quite a bit to bite off. I buy
Speaker 5: out later. But the guitar shop guy was really cool.
Speaker 5: And I used to get my daughter to sit in
Speaker 5: the fourier with me and practice while my life was
Speaker 5: out working to get ready for the performance. And then
Speaker 5: we went out to dinner at our favorite place for
Speaker 5: our anniversary, and I said, I forgot something in the car,
Speaker 5: and I went back and got my guitar, and she's like.
Speaker 4: What are you doing?
Speaker 5: So she had no idea, had no idea, I had
Speaker 5: a guitar. I had nothing. It was all all, you know,
Speaker 5: right on the spot, a nice little intimate place. Everybody,
Speaker 5: the whole crowd that was there, pulled their chairs around,
Speaker 5: made a little audience. And I had a giant anniversary
Speaker 5: card because I couldn't remember the lyrics and the chords
Speaker 5: all at the same time, and my daughter had helped
Speaker 5: me bidazzle it. And so, you know, a long winded
Speaker 5: way to say when I when I performed that song
Speaker 5: for her, it was so amazing, so emotional, the connection.
Speaker 5: I want to write poems for someone it's personal, and
Speaker 5: I read it to them it's more personal. When I
Speaker 5: sang it was like, this is what I meant to do.
Speaker 5: And so from that moment forward, I became obsessed. My
Speaker 5: wife would say, was teaching myself music. So I bought
Speaker 5: a bunch of online music courses online, taught myself to
Speaker 5: write music and read music and compose, and along the way,
Speaker 5: I put a cover band together and I found I
Speaker 5: guess I didn't write at first the cover band. I
Speaker 5: just wanted to play some shows with them, and I
Speaker 5: found as I was singing, singing other people's words, they
Speaker 5: wouldn't say what I wanted to say. I started changing
Speaker 5: the lyrics kidding, and my wife was like, you can't
Speaker 5: change the lyrics.
Speaker 7: I'm like, well, that's what I want to say.
Speaker 5: That led me to writing my own stuff in twenty
Speaker 5: eighteen and put my first album out in twenty nineteen,
Speaker 5: started touring behind that, and of course COVID, like everyone else,
Speaker 5: kind of interrupted that whole experience. And so when COVID
Speaker 5: was happening, I went online because I wrote a four
Speaker 5: piece rock band format for my first album Soft Rock.
Speaker 7: And when I went online and started doing.
Speaker 5: Charity fundraisers Zoom ticketed, cheer Aready fundraisers to learn how
Speaker 5: to be a singer songwriter proper, yeah, and rearranged all
Speaker 5: my music and started writing in that lane. And and
Speaker 5: I haven't looked back. It's been amazing. I just love
Speaker 5: the journey that I'm on and the people I get
Speaker 5: to meet.
Speaker 2: You know, it's music theory must have been pretty easy
Speaker 2: for you, right.
Speaker 6: You know it was.
Speaker 5: It's very mathematical, That's what I'm thinking. Yeah, yeah, there's
Speaker 5: a very math mathematical element. But part, believe it or not,
Speaker 5: the instrumental part, uh, was fairly. I'm pretty dexterous and
Speaker 5: so I play sports and whatever else. And so between
Speaker 5: the math and and the hand eye coordination, the the
Speaker 5: instrument part was was much easier. Yeah, the vocal part
Speaker 5: I had no reference and so I didn't even sing
Speaker 5: in choir right, really right, and so, uh, just learning
Speaker 5: to control your voice is such a whole other experience,
Speaker 5: and that was the hardest journey.
Speaker 7: And I started.
Speaker 5: I got a vocal coach in Houston, and that that
Speaker 5: helped me a ton. It's really much easier to learn
Speaker 5: from someone else.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you vocals, Yeah, vocals, you know, your voice. That's
Speaker 1: the one instrument where some people, for whatever reason, they
Speaker 1: just they just can do it without even you know,
Speaker 1: I've met so many people who just it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: did you take lessons, and they say no, they just
Speaker 1: they're just able to do it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It's it's uh, I've always been been very jealous. I'm
Speaker 1: a bass player and I can I can sing like
Speaker 1: I'm not a bad harmony singer. I can kind of
Speaker 1: find the octave and lock in. But on my own
Speaker 1: I get lost. And I went through three different vocal
Speaker 1: coaches and nobody, nobody could get me to where I wanted.
Speaker 6: To be with it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a it's a it's its own journey.
Speaker 5: And I found, uh, you know, you got to put
Speaker 5: your ten thousand steps in and so you know, if
Speaker 5: you didn't grow up singing in church and choir and whatever,
Speaker 5: then you got to you got to put that time in.
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5: And so as I've become, you know, more experienced as
Speaker 5: a vocalist, it's much more intuitive now for me. I
Speaker 5: sing in a trio back home, and I saw harmonies
Speaker 5: and so you know, and the lady asking with is
Speaker 5: very well trained and very precise, and so all the
Speaker 5: people around you start pushing you to develop your skill.
Speaker 6: Yep.
Speaker 5: And I'd say, now it's a lot more intuitive when
Speaker 5: I pick up a song, to pick up a guitar
Speaker 5: to write a song, it's very easy for me to
Speaker 5: sort of craft a melody now on the fly, where
Speaker 5: you know, two years.
Speaker 7: Ago it was much more difficult. Really, it's becoming intuitive.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's excellent. Yeah, that's great. Well, I'm dying to
Speaker 1: hear you play live. You want to play something live, Let's.
Speaker 7: Let's do it.
Speaker 5: Let's talk about one of those science meets philosophy juxtapositions. Okay,
Speaker 5: I'm going to break through some boundaries with you guys
Speaker 5: with a song called boundary Layer. Computational fluid dynamics has
Speaker 5: boundary layer theory in it and particle theory. Particles approaching
Speaker 5: an object in a fluid slow down when they get
Speaker 5: near the object, and then they accelerate in a new direction,
Speaker 5: kind of like the philosophy of breaking through.
Speaker 7: A boundary in your own life. So let's rock and
Speaker 7: roll with some boundary layer.
Speaker 6: Alright, Mark Winter is live in studio.
Speaker 4: Pushing that SuperSonics peed. I can see what I need.
Speaker 4: I'm soaring faster and higher, breaking through. I belief in me.
Speaker 5: We find our limits when we're young, slowing down before
Speaker 5: we've becne They tell me I'm too small to play
Speaker 5: and that I don't look like them at all. Or
Speaker 5: can I find the strengthen me to break my boundaries
Speaker 5: and make me see pushing that SuperSonics peed.
Speaker 4: I can see what I need. I'm soaring faster and
Speaker 4: nye breaking through our believe in me.
Speaker 6: Here we go.
Speaker 9: Now, get a job and find a life. Listen to
Speaker 9: everyone's advice. They tell me I'm too old the change
Speaker 9: that I need to rearrange my mind. Where can I
Speaker 9: find the strength in me to break my boundaries and
Speaker 9: make me see pushing at.
Speaker 4: The supersonic speed. I can see what I need. I'm
Speaker 4: soaring caster and I breaking through. I belief in me.
Speaker 9: Here we go, Bring some love along the way, Keep
Speaker 9: my humble minded play bound to lay us are just
Speaker 9: to test.
Speaker 7: To give the strength to be my best.
Speaker 9: Bring my circle up with me. Feel the love and loyalty.
Speaker 9: Boundary to lay us are just to test to give
Speaker 9: the strength to be my best. Pushing not the supersonic speed.
Speaker 9: I can see what I need.
Speaker 4: I'm soaring faster and I breaking through. I believe in
Speaker 4: me pushing, not the supersonic speed. I can see what
Speaker 4: I need. I'm soaring caster and ie breaking through. I believe.
Speaker 6: In Very nice, very nice.
Speaker 1: If you're just joining us, we have Mark Winter is
Speaker 1: here with us, alive in studio. He's on a tour
Speaker 1: and he is in the area.
Speaker 7: And that's what is that song called again, It's called
Speaker 7: Boundary Layer.
Speaker 1: Boundary Layer, very good. So now where are you in
Speaker 1: your tour in terms of like what did you play
Speaker 1: last night?
Speaker 6: Somewhere I did?
Speaker 5: I did played down in Pennsylvania last night, and then
Speaker 5: the night before I was in New York some in
Speaker 5: week number four four, Yeah, week number four of a
Speaker 5: sixty five day tour, having a great time, like a
Speaker 5: little inch worm about you know, three hundred miles a day.
Speaker 5: I drive and then I dropped my trailer International Park
Speaker 5: or State Forest, and uh, you know, play a show
Speaker 5: and come back and get up in the morning and
Speaker 5: do the thing again.
Speaker 7: You know, it's it's amazing.
Speaker 6: And then where do you go after here?
Speaker 5: Where's your Yeah, I'm headed to Maynard I'm playing at
Speaker 5: a festival this afternoon.
Speaker 6: Excellent.
Speaker 5: And then from there I go to Maine for a
Speaker 5: two day break to visit my dad. He lives in
Speaker 5: o Gunquit, Okay. So I'm gonna hang out and walk
Speaker 5: the margin in a way, and then you know, recharge
Speaker 5: a little bit, and then I'm up off into Canada.
Speaker 6: Oh nice, How many dates you have up there?
Speaker 7: I have five five shows in Canada outstanding?
Speaker 6: Wow. Oh that's great. That's great.
Speaker 1: So what's been like has anything been a surprise to
Speaker 1: you doing that? Because you said, this is the first
Speaker 1: story that you've done of this size, right, this many dates?
Speaker 5: Yeah, so spring I did the same number of days, okay,
Speaker 5: and so it kind of learned a little bit of
Speaker 5: the tour culture, you know. I think for me it's
Speaker 5: been so amazing to get out of the echo chamber
Speaker 5: of Houston. Yeah, you're you kind of you get stuck
Speaker 5: in a situation and an environment, and your brain I
Speaker 5: think stops growing and thinking.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 5: And so I think getting out on the West Coast
Speaker 5: was was amazing for me. And you don't really know
Speaker 5: how your music is landing with people. I mean all
Speaker 5: the streaming and TikTok and YouTube tube, and you know,
Speaker 5: the interaction you get, you know, is not as rich.
Speaker 5: And what I found when I was on the West
Speaker 5: Coast was, first of all, there's a lot of people
Speaker 5: who are science nerds, closet closet science nerds who really
Speaker 5: are viving with my music, which is really cool, excellent.
Speaker 5: And then I found this the whole positive energy element.
Speaker 5: There were so many people who came out to see
Speaker 5: a show for the positive energy experience and they heard
Speaker 5: me on the radio like on your show. They came
Speaker 5: out to a show for me.
Speaker 7: I remember. The first time that happened to me was
Speaker 7: in New Mexico. I was in Ridoso. It was a
Speaker 7: beautiful city, and a couple drove three hours. They heard
Speaker 7: me on the radio. They drove three hours.
Speaker 5: They're like, we got a lot of bad stuff going
Speaker 5: on in our life right now, and we wanted an
Speaker 5: evening of positive energy.
Speaker 7: And I was so touched.
Speaker 5: Three or four of the couple's heard me on the
Speaker 5: same radio station and came out for that same experience.
Speaker 5: And it was ten days into my tour on the
Speaker 5: West Coast. Yeah, and it told me I'm in the
Speaker 5: right place and doing what I need to be doing
Speaker 5: right in this world.
Speaker 7: And I've still got.
Speaker 5: Goosebumps because I had so many experiences like that along
Speaker 5: my West Coast tour.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was just on fire the whole time.
Speaker 5: Yeah, my wife asked me, She's like, she comes out
Speaker 5: a week out of each month that tour, and she says,
Speaker 5: you know, this is a lot, a lot.
Speaker 7: You're up every day early.
Speaker 5: You got a lot of stuff going on, you got
Speaker 5: all this stuff in email everything else. It's a lot,
Speaker 5: she said, how do you do it? I'm like, I'm
Speaker 5: so so fulfilled by the people I meet and the
Speaker 5: experiences I'm having and the fact that my music is
Speaker 5: really making a difference in the world. Yes, you know,
Speaker 5: it's no effort.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, it's worth it.
Speaker 7: It's worth every effort, you know.
Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 1: Is there anything that's really kind of surprised you or
Speaker 1: challenges that maybe you didn't expect that you've run into,
Speaker 1: you know, because it's not easy what you're doing. It's
Speaker 1: like your wife said, it is a lot, and it's
Speaker 1: it's fulfilling. So it's a lot in a good way, right,
Speaker 1: in a positive way, But it.
Speaker 6: Is a lot.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 5: So I had never pulled the trailer before, and so
Speaker 5: there was the I rented a few and tried it
Speaker 5: out and kind of got my the sizing and everything
Speaker 5: the way I wanted it in whatever. But I had
Speaker 5: never been out in the snow and mountains and whatever.
Speaker 5: So there was a whole lot to learn about being
Speaker 5: cold in Canada or in the Northern United States in
Speaker 5: the mountains that I didn't know how to. I didn't
Speaker 5: even bring warm clothes with me on the tour. Whop
Speaker 5: at Walmart and buy some sweatshirts and whatever. And then
Speaker 5: as a musician, you don't really know your music until
Speaker 5: you've been in so many rooms where the sound is
Speaker 5: just off. They've got the EQ on the monitor, weird,
Speaker 5: you got all these all these weird things happen. You
Speaker 5: can't hear yourself, Yeah, I can't hear anything. I remember
Speaker 5: I played a rock venue they're trying to develop a
Speaker 5: songwriter night, and they had the vocals compressed so much.
Speaker 5: There was no dynamics, and they had the frequencies super tight.
Speaker 5: You couldn't hear your overtones or anything. There was like nothing,
Speaker 5: And so I found I was very challenged to hear
Speaker 5: myself right, and you and you really have to learn
Speaker 5: you're in a big crowd, it's super noisy. How do
Speaker 5: you continue to hear yourself properly as a musician?
Speaker 6: Yep?
Speaker 11: Right?
Speaker 7: That was That was a heart lesson.
Speaker 5: It took me about maybe four weeks into my West
Speaker 5: Coast two or before I had played enough rooms that
Speaker 5: I'd learned the thing. Yeah, and then something I'm still learning,
Speaker 5: how do you read a room? So a friend of
Speaker 5: mine is a brilliant songwriter from the Houston area, Ken Gaines.
Speaker 5: When I first started off as as a songwriter or
Speaker 5: I asked if I could just follow him around for
Speaker 5: a few of his shows, very regionally successful, and just
Speaker 5: watch what he does. And he took me under his
Speaker 5: wing for three shows and he told me his set
Speaker 5: list in advance, and he said, but I'm going to
Speaker 5: change it, and I'm going to change the intro and
Speaker 5: the outro and the story based on the room.
Speaker 6: How do you do that? Oh? Wow?
Speaker 11: Right?
Speaker 5: And so he's playing the show and then he would
Speaker 5: stop in the show and he say, Mark, this is
Speaker 5: for you, and he would make a change. He wouldn't
Speaker 5: tell anybody else what he was doing for you, And
Speaker 5: I knew what he was doing, right, And I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 5: I got to know my music that well right to
Speaker 5: be professional, you know, to be accomplished, And so I'm
Speaker 5: still learning how to do that, you know. I think
Speaker 5: it's just a journey you know that I'll probably be
Speaker 5: on forever just learning how to read a room and
Speaker 5: land the story and the music in a way that's
Speaker 5: gonna that's going to serve the room and the song
Speaker 5: the best.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, no, that's that makes sense.
Speaker 1: And yeah, that is something you kind of that's not
Speaker 1: something anyone can It's not something you can read in
Speaker 1: a book how to do that, you know.
Speaker 6: It's the only way you.
Speaker 7: Wish you could, man, I wish you could in a book.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the only way. Yeah. Really, the only way you
Speaker 6: can learn is by by doing. And uh, it can
Speaker 6: be tricky.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I wish it was a journeyman process.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 5: That would be great if I could like just tack
Speaker 5: on to a touring guy who's you know, a gray beard,
Speaker 5: who could show me around, yeah, and teach me some
Speaker 5: of those things. But that's just not a part of
Speaker 5: a music program that I'm aware of anyway.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: I think that aspect is especially challenging when you're you know,
Speaker 1: a solo act, right, just you and a guitar, because
Speaker 1: if you're in a band, like if you're in a band,
Speaker 1: there's a certain comfort to that and a safety in that,
Speaker 1: you know, safety in numbers. You know, no matter what
Speaker 1: the room is, you're up there with three other guys
Speaker 1: or four other guys or whatever the configuration is, right, yes,
Speaker 1: but when it's just you, you're vulnerable. Right, it's just
Speaker 1: you with the guitar, and you've got to figure out
Speaker 1: how to read that room. When you're in a band,
Speaker 1: you kind of don't care. It's like, yeah, we do
Speaker 1: what we do, right, But when it's just you, there's
Speaker 1: that added press. Sure of you really got to sell this.
Speaker 7: Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 5: And another thing I had to learn, Like I love,
Speaker 5: I'm all about positive energy and I can share a
Speaker 5: million stories, touching stories, but I have a few songs
Speaker 5: that are very personal and I'm not used to like
Speaker 5: being super vulnerable when I'm performing. And so another thing
Speaker 5: that I've had to learn, you know, is stories are
Speaker 5: meant to be shared. I have a song my grandmother,
Speaker 5: my my poetry pal who's no longer with me but
Speaker 5: super influential in my life. I wrote a song because
Speaker 5: I continue to hear her voice talking to me and
Speaker 5: encouraging me, and it's it's original, real, it's her telling
Speaker 5: me things. I'm not sure where she's coming from, but
Speaker 5: you know, I get so emotional when I sing that
Speaker 5: song and I tell the story, and it touches so
Speaker 5: many people in the crowd when I do that, and
Speaker 5: they come up afterwards and tell me, Hey, that that
Speaker 5: song your voice. I can hear someone from my life
Speaker 5: that's no longer with me, And so learning how to
Speaker 5: be vulnerable is something I'm learning still. I have some
Speaker 5: more personal songs. I'm scared to play them live. They're
Speaker 5: going to come out on an album that's that's coming
Speaker 5: up next year, but I'm scared to play them live
Speaker 5: because they're sort of raw emotions. Yea, And yeah, if
Speaker 5: I got to learn, I've got to learn.
Speaker 8: To do that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, do you want to play another live one
Speaker 6: for us? I will.
Speaker 7: I will do that. So this song is a it's
Speaker 7: a song called Signal. It's all about being aware.
Speaker 5: Of the energy that you're putting out in the world
Speaker 5: and the energy that you're taking in from other people.
Speaker 7: Like we're all little radio station, you know, And I
Speaker 7: like to.
Speaker 5: Think about my channel being sort of the positive energy channel,
Speaker 5: and have friends who live on both ends of the
Speaker 5: spec which helped me write the song right. Because no
Speaker 5: matter how good or bad you are, other people's signals
Speaker 5: affect you and your perspective on life for that day
Speaker 5: and in that moment the single.
Speaker 7: This is called signal.
Speaker 9: Waves washing out from me, sending around my inner geez,
Speaker 9: sometimes bright and shimmering, sometimes dark and stifling, crashing into
Speaker 9: the walls.
Speaker 4: And floors, seeping in the minds and more. Should I
Speaker 4: keep viewing random feelings? No, I should focus my mind.
Speaker 4: Don't feeling I'm taking it in and putting it out.
Speaker 4: I should cure up any lingering.
Speaker 9: Die. So I'm going up, dial in my signal and
Speaker 9: make it a dream. Make it my positive screen.
Speaker 12: Dial in my signal, Hey, make it a dream, make.
Speaker 4: It my positive screen. Changing my mind to create a
Speaker 4: layer intense Ity's fine.
Speaker 9: If your heart is there radiating the thoughts you want
Speaker 9: the most.
Speaker 4: It is a powerful, purpose, cool piece of cruse.
Speaker 9: Reading the vibes back from with him. I can tell
Speaker 9: the quote I'm pulling out, you get back in, not
Speaker 9: accidentious in the Nagati, bring out the best and share
Speaker 9: that narrity.
Speaker 4: I'm taking it in and putting it out.
Speaker 9: I should clear up any lingering die. So I'm going
Speaker 9: up nyling my signal and.
Speaker 4: Making it a dream.
Speaker 9: Make it my positive screen. Dialing my signal and making
Speaker 9: it a dream, make it my positive screet.
Speaker 4: Do you feel the vibes from those around you?
Speaker 8: Are you catching the meaning in your mind? Is it
Speaker 8: helping you live and smile?
Speaker 4: Or do you need to turn that dial. I'm gonna
Speaker 4: dial in my signal land.
Speaker 9: Make it a dream, make it my positive screeen.
Speaker 12: Dial in that signal and make it a dream.
Speaker 4: Make it my positive street.
Speaker 6: Outstanding. Mark Winters is here with us live in studio.
Speaker 1: If you are just joining us, it is Matt Connorton
Speaker 1: Unleashed and if you are listening live of course, today
Speaker 1: is Saturday, October fourth, twenty twenty five. As we are
Speaker 1: in our first hour and starting out with some great
Speaker 1: positivity from Mark Winters. So excellent, excellent. So when you
Speaker 1: when you do this, when you play live, do you
Speaker 1: ever have anyone join you or.
Speaker 6: Is it always? Is it always you?
Speaker 1: Or because yeah, because you mentioned back in Houston, there's
Speaker 1: someone you perform with, right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: So I have I've been on an amazing musical journey
Speaker 5: and I've I've met so many amazing people in production
Speaker 5: of my albums and such. And I met a really
Speaker 5: good friend of mine now mister Michael Shanks, about a
Speaker 5: year and a half ago, and he was just coming
Speaker 5: back in from Spain.
Speaker 3: He was.
Speaker 5: There studying at Berkeley. He's an amazing guitar player and
Speaker 5: just an amazing human being. He and I were talking
Speaker 5: with a producer that was working on a song for me,
Speaker 5: and so he and I started playing when he was there.
Speaker 5: I just loved his energy, and I said, hey, you know,
Speaker 5: when you're actually back in town, you want to hang
Speaker 5: out together, maybe play a few songs. Next thing, you know,
Speaker 5: we struck up a great friendship. I started inviting him
Speaker 5: out to play at shows with me.
Speaker 11: We have this.
Speaker 5: You know, I'm competent on the guitar. I played lead guitar,
Speaker 5: but you know, I'm just sort of competent. Sure, he's phenomenal, okay,
Speaker 5: And the fact that he can do it on an
Speaker 5: acoustic guitar, which is what I was looking for, creates
Speaker 5: great energy.
Speaker 7: And so we started playing together.
Speaker 5: We play percussion back and forth on the guitars, and
Speaker 5: lead and rhythm and everything. It's really amazing. And then
Speaker 5: my vocal instructor I was telling you about earlier, you know,
Speaker 5: he I told him I'm looking for someone to sing
Speaker 5: harmonies with, and he said, hey, I've got just the lady.
Speaker 5: She's looking for someone to do the same. She doesn't
Speaker 5: play out a lot, and so she and I had
Speaker 5: coffee and then I invited her to sing with me
Speaker 5: at a show of mine that I had coming up.
Speaker 5: And if Lady Gaga and Adele had a baby, that's
Speaker 5: her voice. It's just meso soprano, richness and amazing. And
Speaker 5: if you tracked her, she's like like perfect when she's
Speaker 5: tracking her vocals or just like or like right down
Speaker 5: the middle. And so we started hanging out playing singing
Speaker 5: duets together and so that became my trio. Okay, and
Speaker 5: we're really tight. I love working with those guys. I'm
Speaker 5: teaching her how to write songs. So we've written four
Speaker 5: songs together now, wrote the first one just for her.
Speaker 5: There have been harmonies or duo work for us, and
Speaker 5: so we play out a lot around town. But she
Speaker 5: has kids that are in middle school and isn't portable
Speaker 5: to be out on the road, and she is still
Speaker 5: developing herself as an artist, independent artists new and so
Speaker 5: I'm hopeful to have her and Michael both out on
Speaker 5: the road as I get back through the area here,
Speaker 5: maybe next year. I'm still developing a following that makes
Speaker 5: it worthwhile for everyone to come out. You know, if
Speaker 5: you don't sell enough tickets, it doesn't work for people
Speaker 5: who have families to feed. So so I'm working on
Speaker 5: developing us as a trio more. And you'll hear her
Speaker 5: singing harmonies and background vocals on some of the songs
Speaker 5: in my Acoustic Me album. Okay, that's the that's the
Speaker 5: live sound between the three of us, that's what I capture,
Speaker 5: that is all three of us performing, and that on
Speaker 5: that Acoustic Me album.
Speaker 6: Oh cool, very nice, very nice. So how many? How
Speaker 6: many albums have you recorded at this point?
Speaker 5: So there are three albums that are out ye. The
Speaker 5: first one is called Slipstream, which is a scientific principle
Speaker 5: of being like tucked behind someone like a duck. The
Speaker 5: person up front's working harder than the people behind them.
Speaker 7: Okay, And I felt like I was sort of.
Speaker 5: Drafting off of a lot of amazing musicians who are
Speaker 5: helping me create that album. Yeah, and so that's the
Speaker 5: first album I put out kind of a four piece
Speaker 5: light rock band format.
Speaker 7: And then I put out.
Speaker 5: Boundary Layer, which was my album on the other side
Speaker 5: of COVID, still four piece rock, light rock. And then
Speaker 5: I started leaning more heavily into the singer songwriter mode,
Speaker 5: and so I rearranged a lot of my music to
Speaker 5: be singer songwriter formatted acoustic. Me album I was telling
Speaker 5: you about is sort of Reimagine. It's got a few
Speaker 5: new songs on it.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And then I just put out Equal Sims Squared, which
Speaker 5: is my latest batch of songs that a friend of mine,
Speaker 5: John Edward Ross, helped me produce. And I'm working slowly
Speaker 5: with these two new singles that I've just put out,
Speaker 5: Fake Gravity and Man in the Sky are part of
Speaker 5: an album that's going to release next year called The
Speaker 5: Science in Me. Okay, and so that would before into
Speaker 5: when that album comes out, that'll be the fourth album.
Speaker 6: Okay. So where do you record?
Speaker 7: You know, it's a I've I've recorded my very first album.
Speaker 7: I met a guy.
Speaker 5: I went looking for a producer. I'm pretty thorough guy.
Speaker 5: So I interviewed a bunch of producers and told him, look, I'm.
Speaker 7: The new guy. I don't know anything.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be annoying to work with because I'm gonna
Speaker 5: want to be in the middle of everything because I'm learning. Yeah, right,
Speaker 5: And so I look for a producer who was friendly
Speaker 5: for that, and Mark Townsend showed that his studio was
Speaker 5: in Houston, and so he and I were talking. He
Speaker 5: had a Houston number or whatever. Well, he had just
Speaker 5: located to LA six months or earlier. Oh like, okay, well,
Speaker 5: how do we do this? And he's like, well, you know,
Speaker 5: why don't we just have a he has a bunch
Speaker 5: of contacts. I said, why don't we? He said, why
Speaker 5: don't we just meet in Nashville and record your first album,
Speaker 5: the Bones of It there, Yeah, and then we'll come
Speaker 5: out to LA do the vocals. And so he did
Speaker 5: pre production in Houston with me, and then we did
Speaker 5: the Bones in Nashville at the House of Blue studio there,
Speaker 5: and then did the vocals out in California. So the
Speaker 5: first one I did with him, and then I learned
Speaker 5: a ton he was. He was such a great mentor
Speaker 5: and he's so musically gifted. He helped me a ton
Speaker 5: to grow and learn and then I was looking for
Speaker 5: someone more local for the second album, and so I
Speaker 5: worked with Derrek Haymes in Houston and sugar Land actually
Speaker 5: and did my second album. It was a bit the
Speaker 5: process for that one was was much more difficult for
Speaker 5: me because he's kind of a live sound person. Okay,
Speaker 5: so he wanted me to show up, do the thing
Speaker 5: live and then okay, you know, he'll clean up some
Speaker 5: stuff and you're done, which is not how I'm wired.
Speaker 5: And so I found another guy in town in Houston,
Speaker 5: john nyberd Ross, and he and I have been working together,
Speaker 5: and Michael Shanks, my guitarist, is a producer as well,
Speaker 5: and so that there there are the two that really
Speaker 5: are the people who get me the best. And so
Speaker 5: we're on a journey together and we've written this where
Speaker 5: we produced this whole next album together that's coming out.
Speaker 5: And so I like people, you know, I like someone
Speaker 5: I can sit down and talk to you, like you like, Okay,
Speaker 5: let's work on this together, right that sense of collaboration.
Speaker 5: It's much more difficult to be the sort of remote
Speaker 5: you know, send me your vocals and send me the
Speaker 5: guitar part and put it all together remotely.
Speaker 7: I don't get the energy out of that.
Speaker 6: Sure, sure, yeah, it's funny.
Speaker 1: Uh, there was a time when when people just generally
Speaker 1: were kind of turned off to that idea, and then COVID.
Speaker 1: COVID forced a lot of people to work that way.
Speaker 1: But then, you know, and a lot of people still
Speaker 1: a lot of people still work that way. But I
Speaker 1: would imagine it, I understand your perspective in that, I
Speaker 1: would imagine it would be challenging to work that. Like obviously,
Speaker 1: we have the technology to you know, send tracks back
Speaker 1: and forth with Dropbox or you know, or one drive
Speaker 1: or whatever service you want to use.
Speaker 6: And it's sometimes some of the guests we have on
Speaker 6: the show.
Speaker 1: You know, these bands come in and they've got they've
Speaker 1: got music that sounds like it was all recorded together.
Speaker 1: You know, it sounds like a live band in the studio,
Speaker 1: you know, and then you find out no, they they've
Speaker 1: used a lot of technology in different studios and sending
Speaker 1: tracks back and forth and whatnot.
Speaker 3: But but.
Speaker 1: The way, the way of doing it, the kind of
Speaker 1: the old school way, which is what you're doing, it
Speaker 1: sounds easier in a lot of ways because you're you're
Speaker 1: able to get that energy of directly collaborating with people, right, Yeah.
Speaker 6: It sounds. It just sounds. That's how I mean.
Speaker 1: I'm a musician and I've recorded some stuff, but I've
Speaker 1: never not not to the extent that you have. And
Speaker 1: I would rather do it the way you're doing it,
Speaker 1: I think, than the way that some other people are
Speaker 1: doing it.
Speaker 7: If that makes sense, Yeah to me, I think there's Uh,
Speaker 7: it's kind of like it's like co writing.
Speaker 5: I started co writing two and a half years ago,
Speaker 5: never done it before, And there's a certain level of
Speaker 5: competence that you need to have to co write and
Speaker 5: to correcte well. And if I show up in the
Speaker 5: right room, my co writing sessions produce a completed song
Speaker 5: in three hours. Okay, So all I need is either
Speaker 5: me instrumentally or someone else on an instrument and you
Speaker 5: know two people.
Speaker 6: Ish.
Speaker 5: If you pair me with a person who's used to
Speaker 5: writing melody, especially, then I can do everything else. So
Speaker 5: we can really produce a song really well, and there's
Speaker 5: an organic element to it. Yeah, I'm good. I've written
Speaker 5: co written with a lot of people and I'm good
Speaker 5: at it. And I can remotely work on Zoom with someone.
Speaker 6: Nine.
Speaker 7: Because of the transport.
Speaker 5: Lag, I can't play a thing with you in the room, right,
Speaker 5: And so I have the same problem with production. I've
Speaker 5: done it enough that I can do it. I've done
Speaker 5: a track. I did a Christmas track with a remote producer.
Speaker 5: It was all back and forth remote, and so I
Speaker 5: know how to do it, and I do my own
Speaker 5: vocal track and get home.
Speaker 7: I have a studio for that. But when you're creating
Speaker 7: an arrangement and you're listening to something, listening to a
Speaker 7: mix for the first time and trying to get everything
Speaker 7: dialed in, it's so difficult because of the lagginess of it.
Speaker 11: Right.
Speaker 5: I find it the most difficult when I'm writing, and
Speaker 5: the second most difficult when I'm in the final production
Speaker 5: phase and I'm trying to hear like the producers like
Speaker 5: let me turn the base up or the bass down
Speaker 5: or this or that way you're not in the.
Speaker 4: Room with them.
Speaker 7: It's so hard.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah.
Speaker 5: So my process with John Edward is we can do
Speaker 5: certain amount of things. We do the arrangement live, me
Speaker 5: and him and Michael in the room, and we do
Speaker 5: the thing and we get it the way we want
Speaker 5: it and the way it's the structure, and and so
Speaker 5: we've got the genesis of the idea is now done
Speaker 5: and it's down and we we've got that, and then
Speaker 5: we we do the parts. We can put them all,
Speaker 5: you know, Frankenstein it together the parts around that arrangement,
Speaker 5: and then when we get back to when I put
Speaker 5: my first set of vocals in, okay, we need to
Speaker 5: sit down and listen to that live, and then we
Speaker 5: do the final mix.
Speaker 7: We need to do the live.
Speaker 5: So I think there's there's moments in the song's genesis
Speaker 5: that you really need to be live to give it
Speaker 5: its best effort, and then after that you can be
Speaker 5: you know, sort of remote.
Speaker 7: That's just my personal experience.
Speaker 6: Absolutely. Well, you want to play one more live one?
Speaker 7: Yeah, let's let's let's do it.
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 7: So this next tune I'm going to.
Speaker 5: Play for you is all about me getting out of
Speaker 5: a bad mood.
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 5: So even when I'm writing about a bad mood, I
Speaker 5: have to put a little positive spin on it.
Speaker 7: I was in a bad mood about it two years ago.
Speaker 5: And you know, I have a lot of crazy hobbies,
Speaker 5: you know, surfing and rollerblading and motorcycle racing and whatever,
Speaker 5: anything that my hair is on fire for.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and that usually gets me out of any funk
Speaker 7: i'm in. H Usually just a run does.
Speaker 5: But I got in a bad mood that I couldn't
Speaker 5: get out of it, and I said, you know you're
Speaker 5: a songwriter.
Speaker 7: You should write a song about it.
Speaker 5: At least share the fact that you're in a bad mood,
Speaker 5: and ultimately ended up helping me get out of the
Speaker 5: bad mood. It's called seven Deadly moods.
Speaker 6: All right, Mark Winter is live in studio.
Speaker 9: I've got these bad moods living in my head, snapping
Speaker 9: and biting name, putting me on edge. It's like a
Speaker 9: hydra spitting with seven hairs, sneaking around and trying to
Speaker 9: spread ran Sadness got a hold on me.
Speaker 4: What's it gonna take to make you leave? My mind's
Speaker 4: tied up in a funky moods got me on edge?

Speaker 5: finish line and you're standing next to me running. I'm like, Matt,
Speaker 5: I'm about to beat you coming across that finish line.
Speaker 6: Huh.
Speaker 5: And so anything athletics, I'm like that guy, super competitive,
Speaker 5: but in other parts of my life not so much.
Speaker 5: And so I wrote a song to remind myself and
