6:23 Speaker 11: It's animal, you know what its teach their own also,

6:27 Speaker 11: let every even think of it what they want to

6:28 Speaker 11: think of it. Sure, sure, yeah, so I because we've

6:32 Speaker 11: only been this is our second track together and Claude.

6:36 Speaker 11: Claude and Ken are the the producers on this particular project. Okay,

6:42 Speaker 11: I do have some some production input, but in my

6:44 Speaker 11: own project, I'm a I'm a producer. But with this,

6:47 Speaker 11: with these guys, it's kind of fun to just let

6:48 Speaker 11: them have that, have at it, and then they send

6:50 Speaker 11: me a track and then I get to do more

6:53 Speaker 11: of the melody vocal lyric kind of a thing with

6:55 Speaker 11: this project. So it's really fun for me.

6:57 Speaker 3: Okay, okay. And then so so it's kind of a well, Claude,

7:03 Speaker 3: how would how would you describe his Animal? I mean

7:05 Speaker 3: it sounds like it's kind of a collective thing, but

7:08 Speaker 3: how do you describe the project?

7:11 Speaker 13: Yeah, it's a collective electronic music project. But you know,

7:17 Speaker 13: and also we tried to involve, you know, involve other

7:20 Speaker 13: people in the in our Austin music scene here. You know,

7:25 Speaker 13: there's there's another Ken Christiansen who's who's part of his

7:30 Speaker 13: Animal and he had some other things going on during this.

7:34 Speaker 12: So yeah, this was me and and Noel.

7:38 Speaker 13: You know, and I'm kind of the synth man and

7:41 Speaker 13: and programming and stuff like that.

7:44 Speaker 11: Okay, he's modest, he's not. He's kind of a he's

7:49 Speaker 11: kind of a synth wizard.

7:50 Speaker 3: Okay, Okay.

7:52 Speaker 11: Yeah, so we had done I don't know if you

7:54 Speaker 11: had heard our first track called Love Access.

7:57 Speaker 3: And not only have I heard it, I intend to

7:59 Speaker 3: play it at the end of our conversation because that's

8:01 Speaker 3: another great track. I love it.

8:02 Speaker 11: Yeah, that's kind of how this thing started, was that

8:06 Speaker 11: they had this track for Love Access and they were like,

8:09 Speaker 11: maybe we should get you know, our friend Noel to

8:12 Speaker 11: Like actually, Ken had never even heard of me, but

8:15 Speaker 11: Clode and I have known each other for years, and

8:17 Speaker 11: they're like, maybe we should get Noel to sing on this,

8:19 Speaker 11: you know, let's see what we could do as a collaboration.

8:23 Speaker 11: And when we went in on that track, it was

8:25 Speaker 11: just like such a vibe and we just had so

8:27 Speaker 11: much fun and it was really easy, and we were like,

8:30 Speaker 11: maybe we should do more like this. So their thing

8:32 Speaker 11: kind of became our thing in a way. So it

8:35 Speaker 11: sort of turned into his animal. But yeah, then we

8:39 Speaker 11: were sort of talking in the beginning about what it

8:41 Speaker 11: should be like, and it was like, well, we all

8:43 Speaker 11: love bands like Massive Attack, Thievery Corporation, you know that

8:48 Speaker 11: kind of thing, zero seven, all those things that had

8:51 Speaker 11: like multiple people come in and join them, and so

8:57 Speaker 11: all since the beginning, specifically, I've had in my head

9:00 Speaker 11: to use knack a Valli on a track, and just

9:04 Speaker 11: the times we're in, you know, like we we have

9:07 Speaker 11: another dance track that we're kind of getting ready to

9:10 Speaker 11: to to work on here that's almost done. But I

9:14 Speaker 11: just felt like, man, my spirit is a.

9:17 Speaker 3: Little broken right now, understood.

9:19 Speaker 11: I just felt like I needed I needed, like to

9:22 Speaker 11: work on a track with a little more kind of

9:24 Speaker 11: spiritual like you know, vibe, a little more like what's

9:27 Speaker 11: happening now with people, you know, and Claude just nailed it,

9:32 Speaker 11: like just like yeah, what he delivered was exactly what

9:36 Speaker 11: I wanted to work on.

9:37 Speaker 3: So no, that makes sense.

9:39 Speaker 7: You know.

9:39 Speaker 3: The press material mentions themes of you know, hope and

9:42 Speaker 3: transcendence and emotional release, and I do think it really

9:45 Speaker 3: comes through in a track like The Awakening. I mean,

9:48 Speaker 3: that's that's what I got from it, you know, just

9:50 Speaker 3: listening into the track before I'd even read anything about

9:53 Speaker 3: the project and what you're doing with it.

9:56 Speaker 2: Are you?

9:57 Speaker 3: Are you both in Austin, Texas? Mm hmm, okay, great?

10:03 Speaker 11: Great scene three all three of us, all three of

10:06 Speaker 11: us in Xanimal and Knock a Valley.

10:07 Speaker 3: We all live in Austin, Okay, Okay, Yeah, I mean

10:11 Speaker 3: I'm not surprised, you know, to hear something interesting like

10:14 Speaker 3: this project to come out of there, because there's such

10:15 Speaker 3: a scene there. There's so many we've we've actually over

10:19 Speaker 3: the years, we've had a lot of artists from that area, uh,

10:22 Speaker 3: specifically on the show, and there's there's so much great

10:25 Speaker 3: I mean, do you think do you think it's helpful

10:28 Speaker 3: being in a place like Austin, Texas, where you're surrounded

10:31 Speaker 3: by by so many creative people, Versus if you were

10:35 Speaker 3: in a place where maybe there just wasn't a lot

10:37 Speaker 3: happening musically, I mean, or or maybe not. I mean,

10:40 Speaker 3: maybe you'd be creating this music no matter where you lived.

10:42 Speaker 3: But but I feel like, I feel like in Austin, Texas,

10:46 Speaker 3: you're just surrounded by so much creativity that it would

10:49 Speaker 3: be really inspiring.

10:52 Speaker 11: It's it's unbelievable honestly.

10:54 Speaker 12: Yeah. And also the scene is very it's just real supportive.

11:01 Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, likes.

11:05 Speaker 13: Different competition, but it's it's it's really like everybody in

11:09 Speaker 13: all the different genres is really supportive, and.

11:13 Speaker 11: We all collaborate a lot. Like we all do shows

11:15 Speaker 11: together with like, you know, different kinds of acts on

11:18 Speaker 11: the same bill. There's like, you know, a deep Americana

11:22 Speaker 11: scene here, there's a there's a cool like indie electro

11:26 Speaker 11: and rock and roll scene. There's like punk rock. It's

11:29 Speaker 11: but everyone kind of knows each other. I mean a

11:31 Speaker 11: lot of people do, and we all see each other

11:34 Speaker 11: a lot at different events, and so we've definitely have

11:38 Speaker 11: Like I lived in you know, I came up in

11:39 Speaker 11: the San Francisco Bay Area. I lived in LA for

11:42 Speaker 11: a while. I've just never seen a music community. I mean,

11:46 Speaker 11: I we had a good community in the Bay Area,

11:48 Speaker 11: but it was so spread apart. You know, it's like

11:50 Speaker 11: East Bay, South Bay, and it's just hard to kind

11:53 Speaker 11: of get to each other's gigs. But in Austin, we

11:55 Speaker 11: are like five minutes ten minutes away from somebody's show

11:58 Speaker 11: at any given moment. So it makes us a tighter community,

12:02 Speaker 11: you know.

12:02 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fantastic. So what's kind of the Obviously you've

12:06 Speaker 3: got you know, The Awakening and you know later we'll

12:08 Speaker 3: we'll play love Access. But are you are you continuing

12:11 Speaker 3: to make music together now as as animal? Is this

12:15 Speaker 3: going to be? I mean, what's kind of the long

12:17 Speaker 3: term plan? Are you going to do an ep A,

12:18 Speaker 3: You're gonna do an album, or you're gonna keep doing singles?

12:20 Speaker 3: I mean I assume you're going to continue to work together.

12:24 Speaker 12: Yeah, what are we doing that as a single and

12:26 Speaker 12: then think about doing.

12:28 Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's it's more like the adulting

12:32 Speaker 11: of life. They gets in the way.

12:34 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we all have.

12:36 Speaker 11: Like different projects that we do. You know, like I

12:39 Speaker 11: have a band called The Bell Sounds that I'm you know,

12:42 Speaker 11: the lead everything on, producer, writer, and uh it's like

12:48 Speaker 11: a synthpop band. In Austin. Claude has like five bands Claude.

12:53 Speaker 3: Oh really yeah, yeah that's good.

12:57 Speaker 11: So this is a fun thing. But we we definitely

13:00 Speaker 11: we want to make more music together. It's just a

13:01 Speaker 11: matter of finding a minute to get together.

13:04 Speaker 3: Right, right, So what is the creative process like in

13:08 Speaker 3: a in a project like this, I mean, who, who

13:10 Speaker 3: kind of comes up with the uh you know on

13:13 Speaker 3: these like on these two songs that we're playing today,

13:15 Speaker 3: like you know, how did how did these come about?

13:17 Speaker 3: What's the process? And maybe maybe the two songs that

13:19 Speaker 3: to distinctly different processes. I don't know, but I'm curious

13:23 Speaker 3: about how that works.

13:26 Speaker 13: Well, it's will get basically, get a musical track together

13:32 Speaker 13: and the access It was Ken and I that did it,

13:34 Speaker 13: and we'll and you'll send it to Noel. Of course

13:39 Speaker 13: she'll come in, but lots of times she actually we

13:41 Speaker 13: just send it to her and she sings at her

13:44 Speaker 13: own studio.

13:45 Speaker 3: Yeah, and then back.

13:47 Speaker 13: So but I mean, we we go back and we

13:50 Speaker 13: we talk about a concept.

13:52 Speaker 12: You know what are concept is going to be?

13:56 Speaker 11: Yeah, like lyrically, we we have a we have an

13:59 Speaker 11: idea got to going in or like a vibe going

14:02 Speaker 11: in so that I have something to kind of bounce

14:03 Speaker 11: off of. But like I said, this is fun for

14:06 Speaker 11: me because normally I'm the one that in my band

14:09 Speaker 11: that makes all the music and I sit here for

14:11 Speaker 11: hours and nerding out. But this time I just get

14:13 Speaker 11: like some beautiful, amazing thing just delivered to me and

14:16 Speaker 11: I go, oh cool, Yeah, this is fun. It's the

14:20 Speaker 11: whole new reality for me. Yeah, but yeah, we definitely

14:24 Speaker 11: are like collaborative and stuff. We were kind of hoping

14:26 Speaker 11: that Ken would have time too, because he's a great DJ,

14:29 Speaker 11: and we were hoping that he would have time to

14:32 Speaker 11: do like a really cool remix of this song of

14:35 Speaker 11: the Awakening, so we're helping at some point he can

14:37 Speaker 11: do that. Claude is also working on a remix of

14:40 Speaker 11: the Awakening And for our last track, we got how

14:44 Speaker 11: many like different DJs, like four or five did remixes

14:47 Speaker 11: of Love Access, So we're kind of putting that out too.

14:51 Speaker 3: So I'm really curious about that because that's interesting. I

14:54 Speaker 3: was looking at your band camp and I saw that

14:55 Speaker 3: Love Access. Yeah, it's got multiple different remix I mean,

14:58 Speaker 3: how cool is that when when you've done something that

15:02 Speaker 3: that other people wanted them take and and and put

15:04 Speaker 3: their own stamp on and remix it. I mean that's

15:06 Speaker 3: got to be really gratifying.

15:08 Speaker 11: Right, Yeah, yes.

15:13 Speaker 12: You know, and you can hear different areas. I mean,

15:15 Speaker 12: we our stuff has put out myself and can't have

15:20 Speaker 12: a label called new music, new human music.

15:22 Speaker 14: Okay, we have some on it, but his animal is

15:25 Speaker 14: part is part of that is one of our main

15:28 Speaker 14: things on that label, and we kind of the DJs,

15:33 Speaker 14: We kind of have a DJ side to.

15:34 Speaker 13: It, and he knows a lot of a lot of

15:37 Speaker 13: people who do that kind of production and remix it.

15:39 Speaker 11: So okay, Yeah, he came up in that world and

15:43 Speaker 11: like has toured all over the world doing that kind

15:46 Speaker 11: of thing. So he's made a lot, made a lot

15:48 Speaker 11: of friends and connections. He still does it. I think

15:50 Speaker 11: he's maybe he's even out there right now. I'm not sure,

15:53 Speaker 11: but he's one of those guys that has like hands

15:57 Speaker 11: and a million different pots. I don't know how he

15:58 Speaker 11: keeps up with it, but but yeah, it's been for

16:03 Speaker 11: It's really fun for me because I've never had anybody

16:06 Speaker 11: do that with anything that I've produced or created. Yeah,

16:10 Speaker 11: so for me, it was a new experience and it

16:11 Speaker 11: was like wow, like just to hear what part of

16:14 Speaker 11: the song they would choose, or what part of my

16:16 Speaker 11: vocal or if they even use my vocal at all

16:19 Speaker 11: or whatever, you know. And when we did this song,

16:22 Speaker 11: when we did The Awakening, I thought, I thought it

16:24 Speaker 11: would be really interesting to see, like I could imagine

16:26 Speaker 11: some people remixing the song without ever using any of

16:29 Speaker 11: mine and just using naga Vali because she's so magical,

16:33 Speaker 11: you know. I think it could be a really cool

16:35 Speaker 11: like world, you know, kind of edim situation or something.

16:39 Speaker 11: But yeah, hopefully we can get some people to remix it.

16:42 Speaker 11: That'd be fun.

16:43 Speaker 3: Now do these songs get at any point? Do they

16:45 Speaker 3: get performed live? I would imagine that would be a

16:49 Speaker 3: challenge maybe to pull that together, but I don't know.

16:54 Speaker 11: I would love to, but I guess we need a

16:56 Speaker 11: little bit more material.

16:58 Speaker 3: Yeah, first of all.

17:00 Speaker 14: But also I've been trying to think of how we

17:03 Speaker 14: can you know, how we can do it?

17:06 Speaker 12: Uh, there's a there's a way, but we're getting to that.

17:10 Speaker 11: Yeah, I think we could probably do it in a

17:13 Speaker 11: sense of like if we're doing if they're doing like

17:15 Speaker 11: a New Human showcase or something like that, we could

17:19 Speaker 11: probably get up there and do you know, like the

17:22 Speaker 11: couple tracks we have and just use tracks. If Nagavali's

17:25 Speaker 11: not there, we can use her track or whatever. You know.

17:28 Speaker 11: In my band, we perform with live musicians and track,

17:30 Speaker 11: so it's definitely possible to use things like that. But

17:34 Speaker 11: but Claude can play the sense live and stuff like that.

17:37 Speaker 11: So I think it would be really fun if we

17:38 Speaker 11: did that, we may maybe we don't need to wait

17:40 Speaker 11: until we have too much more to just kind of

17:42 Speaker 11: pop up and say here we.

17:43 Speaker 3: Are, this is what we do right right? Yeah, I

17:48 Speaker 3: can imagine how that would be a challenge. So what's so,

17:51 Speaker 3: what is next for for his animal? What's what's kind

17:54 Speaker 3: of the next? Uh? I mean, do you have another

17:56 Speaker 3: single that you're working on? Now?

17:59 Speaker 8: We you?

18:00 Speaker 11: We do? They made this track that's like, it's so cool,

18:05 Speaker 11: Like I kind of describe it as like disco like

18:08 Speaker 11: Prince type disco.

18:09 Speaker 3: Track, Intrigued.

18:11 Speaker 11: It's it's a jam. It's it's a serious jam. And

18:15 Speaker 11: I'm just like trying my hardest to like find a

18:19 Speaker 11: way to live up to how cool this track is.

18:22 Speaker 11: My lyrics and melody.

18:25 Speaker 12: We'll figure it out.

18:28 Speaker 11: We'll figure it out. But it's just such a cool track,

18:31 Speaker 11: and I just want to make sure it's like, yeah,

18:33 Speaker 11: this is it. So but we're we're pretty we're pretty

18:36 Speaker 11: far along on that. We just have to kind of

18:38 Speaker 11: start putting all those pieces together and and then get

18:42 Speaker 11: that out and then you know, I don't know, it's

18:43 Speaker 11: just a matter of these guys continuing to get together

18:46 Speaker 11: and you know, make some make some music. When they

18:49 Speaker 11: have some free time and send it over absolutely.

18:52 Speaker 12: I mean when we did, when.

18:54 Speaker 13: We did Love Access, we kind of had an idea

18:56 Speaker 13: that we would be a.

18:59 Speaker 12: Like have eighties elements and that would kind of be

19:03 Speaker 12: our style. But we've kind of gone off that.

19:07 Speaker 11: A little bit, but.

19:10 Speaker 12: We still have that in there, but I mean it's

19:12 Speaker 12: not Yeah. Yeah.

19:14 Speaker 11: I think also, like what we talked about in the

19:16 Speaker 11: beginning was like maybe that we didn't need to define

19:20 Speaker 11: this project as much, because when you do your own projects,

19:24 Speaker 11: you get really like sucked into like genre based stuff

19:28 Speaker 11: where you're like I do this, I do that and stuff.

19:31 Speaker 11: So for us creatively, this is such a fun thing

19:35 Speaker 11: to be able to just go what are you feeling

19:37 Speaker 11: right now? What do you want to do? You know,

19:39 Speaker 11: and not have such constraints on this particular project. I

19:43 Speaker 11: think that would be really cool to not have to

19:46 Speaker 11: feel like we have to fit into some some box,

19:49 Speaker 11: you know.

19:49 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think and I can say too

19:52 Speaker 3: just from my own experience as a musician, I think

19:55 Speaker 3: it's always more exciting when you don't think about what

19:59 Speaker 3: you know, genre, something is supposed to be. You don't

20:02 Speaker 3: try to fit it into a box. You're just do

20:06 Speaker 3: what you think sounds good. You just make the music

20:08 Speaker 3: that you want to make without worrying about anything else.

20:11 Speaker 3: And I think that's the best way to do it.

20:13 Speaker 3: And that's how you get the most authentic sounding sounding

20:17 Speaker 3: stuff at the end of the day, is just by

20:18 Speaker 3: doing what you want to do rather than worrying about, well,

20:21 Speaker 3: it's got to fit this it's got to be able

20:23 Speaker 3: to be in this category, it's got to fit this format.

20:26 Speaker 3: We got to get it on this radio station, you know,

20:28 Speaker 3: whatever it is.

20:30 Speaker 12: Yeah, there's kind of a lot of pressure do one thing.

20:36 Speaker 12: So much in the business is organized towards what do

20:39 Speaker 12: you do? Where can you put you?

20:41 Speaker 3: Yeah?

20:44 Speaker 11: I mean true, they want they want to put you

20:46 Speaker 11: in a in a box.

20:47 Speaker 3: Right yeah, yeah, And and part of that, and part

20:50 Speaker 3: of that is just you know, that's how you market things,

20:52 Speaker 3: and and so that that is a necessary you know.

20:54 Speaker 3: I'm I've I've lived on both sides of the business

20:58 Speaker 3: of you know, the business side and the creative side,

21:00 Speaker 3: and and and I but the way I've always thought

21:03 Speaker 3: of it is, you know, as far as the creating

21:05 Speaker 3: the art, whether it's music or any kind of art,

21:07 Speaker 3: just just make what you want to make and then

21:10 Speaker 3: once that's done and you're happy with it, that's when

21:12 Speaker 3: you figure the other part out, you know, the how

21:15 Speaker 3: do you market it? How do you know, where do

21:17 Speaker 3: you place it on? All that, But that shouldn't even

21:19 Speaker 3: enter your mind until you're done creating whatever it is

21:23 Speaker 3: you're creating. Everything else can be figured out later.

21:28 Speaker 11: Yeah, because if you if that's the dream, isn't it.

21:31 Speaker 5: Yeah?

21:31 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean I think practically that's how you

21:34 Speaker 3: have to do it, because even if you're trying to

21:35 Speaker 3: figure out the other part while you're creating the music,

21:38 Speaker 3: you know, those other plans are gonna inevitably have to

21:41 Speaker 3: change anyway. So you might as well just not be

21:43 Speaker 3: thinking about that at all while you're creating, and then

21:46 Speaker 3: and then worry about the rest later, you know. And

21:49 Speaker 3: there's probably some very very successful people in the music

21:52 Speaker 3: industry who will tell me that everything I just said

21:54 Speaker 3: is wrong, and and they probably have platinum records and

21:58 Speaker 3: millions of dollars. So but so at the end of

22:00 Speaker 3: the day, what do I know? But that's how I

22:02 Speaker 3: think of it.

22:04 Speaker 11: Well, yeah, and there's just so many pressures. Things are

22:08 Speaker 11: not easy. It's it's a lot of pressure in every business.

22:11 Speaker 11: Right now, every everywhere, everyone's kind of dealing with a

22:14 Speaker 11: lot of like stress. So I think this for us

22:18 Speaker 11: just needs to feel like, you know, something that is

22:20 Speaker 11: just wow, it's exciting and happy and lovely when we

22:23 Speaker 11: get together and we make cool music, and like that's

22:28 Speaker 11: literally that's enough. I mean, if people hear it, yay,

22:31 Speaker 11: if people love it yay. Yeah, I want people to

22:34 Speaker 11: hear it and love it and pass it on. But

22:37 Speaker 11: this particular project for me just needs to feel more

22:40 Speaker 11: about like creation joy, you know, because everything else is

22:44 Speaker 11: really hard, and we all have our own projects that

22:47 Speaker 11: we're also and our own businesses and things that we

22:49 Speaker 11: do to make day daytime money, you.

22:51 Speaker 3: Know, right, so exactly, so it's hard, man.

22:56 Speaker 11: And so this is just like these guys are extremely creative.

23:00 Speaker 11: I have so much trust in their in their creative process.

23:06 Speaker 11: Like I would not just let them hand in that

23:08 Speaker 11: track if I didn't trust what their aesthetic was, you know,

23:12 Speaker 11: And so it's super fun to just kind of see

23:14 Speaker 11: like what comes next. They actually sent me, like when

23:17 Speaker 11: we were doing Love Access, they sent me like five

23:22 Speaker 11: other track options or something, and all of them were

23:26 Speaker 11: super cool. So I don't even know what happened to those, Claude,

23:28 Speaker 11: what happened to those?

23:32 Speaker 3: It's a good problem to have, by the way, So

23:37 Speaker 3: I haven't asked the I haven't asked the most obvious question.

23:40 Speaker 3: Where does the name's animal come from? What does it mean?

23:46 Speaker 11: Clod?

23:47 Speaker 12: It's just kind of a sixty eighties name. I don't.

23:50 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's we had, that's valid.

23:54 Speaker 11: We had. We just made a big list of like,

23:58 Speaker 11: you know, kind of intrigue like sort of words that

24:03 Speaker 11: to me, it's sort of like we're we're all kind

24:07 Speaker 11: of one, one type of being, even though we're all

24:10 Speaker 11: so different, and it sort of like puts us under this,

24:13 Speaker 11: like we're all animals, but maybe we're all just a

24:15 Speaker 11: little bit weird and different and strange. And to me,

24:18 Speaker 11: it's kind of like strange strange people, like animal kind

24:22 Speaker 11: of cool people, strange people music, you know what I mean.

24:25 Speaker 11: And so it's sort of like embodies like the humanness

24:28 Speaker 11: of just like, you know, what is this tribe? It's

24:31 Speaker 11: like a tribe.

24:32 Speaker 3: Almost you know, Yeah, yeah I like that.

24:35 Speaker 13: Yeah, so yeah, and it's got some exotic exoticness to it.

24:41 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, that makes sense.

24:45 Speaker 11: It looks cool.

24:46 Speaker 12: We haven't we haven't or.

24:48 Speaker 3: Anything like that, right, gotcha understood. So in the moment,

25:00 Speaker 3: we're gonna play Love Access the original mix, and you know,

25:04 Speaker 3: we'll we'll let you go in a minute, and then

25:05 Speaker 3: we're going to hit that track. But what what should

25:08 Speaker 3: we know about this? I mean, you touched on it

25:10 Speaker 3: a little bit, but anything you want us to know

25:12 Speaker 3: about Love Access? Are there any other people who are

25:14 Speaker 3: on it that we should know about? Or anything about

25:16 Speaker 3: the production you want us to know?

25:20 Speaker 12: See, now that was the three of us.

25:24 Speaker 11: That one was just the three of us. Yeah, I

25:26 Speaker 11: mean to me, it was like pretty obviously like leaning

25:30 Speaker 11: into you know, dance disco, dancy eighties vibe, and so

25:38 Speaker 11: immediately my mind went to the club and like just

25:42 Speaker 11: that that moment when you're at a club and you

25:47 Speaker 11: kind of see that that person, you get that vibe

25:50 Speaker 11: from somebody and all of a sudden sort of you know,

25:53 Speaker 11: if you meet them or you start dancing with them

25:55 Speaker 11: and the world kind of just disappears around you almost

25:59 Speaker 11: and you know, maybe it's a one night thing. You

26:02 Speaker 11: never know, it's just like a big spark, and that

26:05 Speaker 11: kind of a thing is just sort of like tapping

26:07 Speaker 11: into that real intimate, special moment. But at a dance

26:11 Speaker 11: club essentially.

26:12 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, cool, I like that, So we'll we'll play that.

26:16 Speaker 3: We'll play that in a moment and then later on

26:18 Speaker 3: the show a five times. I might even play one

26:19 Speaker 3: of the remixes, because I personally I love remixes. But

26:24 Speaker 3: also too, before we let you go, Uh, where where's

26:26 Speaker 3: the best place to go online to keep up with

26:28 Speaker 3: everything that's Animal is doing? And and of course, uh

26:31 Speaker 3: we should mention too new Human Records if you want to.

26:34 Speaker 3: I'm looking at the band campage for that. Uh, there's

26:37 Speaker 3: there's some some stuff on there. But where where should

26:39 Speaker 3: people go to keep up with is Animal?

26:43 Speaker 12: There's a new Human music dot com.

26:46 Speaker 11: Okay, and we also have we have Instagram, and we

26:51 Speaker 11: have under under his Animal, but we don't quite yet

26:55 Speaker 11: have TikTok. But I have a TikTok under the bell

26:58 Speaker 11: sounds and stuff. But we will eventually get that. It's

27:01 Speaker 11: just another thing to manage. But you do have Insta

27:04 Speaker 11: and uh and and uh Facebook right now?

27:07 Speaker 3: Okay? Okay?

27:08 Speaker 11: Fantastic well and obviously on all streaming platforms too.

27:12 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, absolutely that's essential. Yeah. Well, Claude and Noel,

27:16 Speaker 3: thank you both for joining us today. By the way.

32:16 Speaker 6: If that's Sisters in Direction.

32:33 Speaker 3: That is the original mix of Love Access. I say

32:36 Speaker 3: original mix because they have some remixes too that you

32:40 Speaker 3: can find online. But that is of course Animal, Now

32:42 Speaker 3: I know. Okay, So I'm gonna tell you something kind

32:44 Speaker 3: of funny. Just quickly, when I was preparing for the

32:48 Speaker 3: interview with and again thank you to Claude and Noel

32:51 Speaker 3: from Xanimal for joining me, I actually asked, AI, how

32:57 Speaker 3: do I say this is it? Because I honestly wasn't sure.

33:00 Speaker 3: I thought it might be z animal because it starts

33:02 Speaker 3: with an X. And of course, you know there are

33:05 Speaker 3: words that start with an X but actually sound like Z,

33:10 Speaker 3: like well, the name Xavier or uh, although it can

33:14 Speaker 3: be x xavier, but I know someone named Xavier who

33:17 Speaker 3: spells it with an X or xylophone. You know, there

33:21 Speaker 3: are words that start with an X but are actually

33:24 Speaker 3: pronounced like a Z. But I so I wasn't sure.

33:29 Speaker 3: So I wasn't. It wasn't sure if it was animal

33:31 Speaker 3: or if it was X animal. And then I looked

33:33 Speaker 3: up on Well, I asked AI. I think I don't

33:37 Speaker 3: remember what program I asked, but I said, hey, how

33:39 Speaker 3: do I say this? And I shared a link to

33:41 Speaker 3: the project so that whatever I was using, I don't

33:45 Speaker 3: know if it was chat GPT, if it was Gemini.

33:47 Speaker 3: I think it might have been Gemini. I shared a

33:49 Speaker 3: link and I said, how do I pronounce this artist

33:51 Speaker 3: because I have to interview them? And it told me

33:53 Speaker 3: it was X animal. So got it wrong, But there

33:56 Speaker 3: you go. But we talked about AI a lot on

33:58 Speaker 3: the show, and you know, not everything's always going to

34:01 Speaker 3: be correct with it, that is for sure. But all

34:03 Speaker 3: that being said, I did really enjoy talking with Claude

34:07 Speaker 3: and Noel, and we might sneak in one of the

34:10 Speaker 3: remixes of Love Access a little bit later in the

34:12 Speaker 3: show if we have time. But if you are just

34:14 Speaker 3: joining us, this is Matt Connorton Unleashed and we are

34:17 Speaker 3: live from the studios of wm n H ninety five

35:08 Speaker 3: still on Facebook. And so the point being, there are

35:15 Speaker 3: many ways to enjoy the show, and it is, of

35:18 Speaker 3: course Saturday, July eighteenth. I had to think about it. Oh,

35:22 Speaker 3: July goes too fast. It's my favorite month. We're already

35:25 Speaker 3: up to the eighteenth. We're already past a halfway point.

35:28 Speaker 3: July eighteenth, twenty twenty sixth. July is my favorite month

35:30 Speaker 3: because summer is my favorite time of year. Once we

35:32 Speaker 3: get into August, it's like, oh, we're in the last

35:34 Speaker 3: month of August. I mean, technically summer lasts until you know,

35:38 Speaker 3: past the middle of September, but it doesn't really feel

35:40 Speaker 3: like summer at that point, does it. So anyway, it

35:43 Speaker 3: goes much much too fast. But we have had a

35:46 Speaker 3: great show, if I do say so myself so far. Again.

35:49 Speaker 3: I really enjoyed talking to the members of Xanimal. And

35:52 Speaker 3: in the first hour we had Johnny Couch. Oh, I

35:54 Speaker 3: love Johnny Couch. I definitely want to seek in another

35:56 Speaker 3: track from him later in the show too, if we

35:58 Speaker 3: have time coming up. In the third hour, Sean McCarthy

36:02 Speaker 3: is going to be here. He'll be joining us via

36:04 Speaker 3: Microsoft teams to talk about his new documentary, Resilience and Sacrifice.

36:08 Speaker 3: It's really good and I cannot wait to talk to

36:12 Speaker 3: him about it. I have lots of questions. It was

36:14 Speaker 3: fun to watching it because you know, he's from the scene,

36:17 Speaker 3: and I've interviewed him before, known him a long time,

36:19 Speaker 3: and I know a lot of the people who were

36:23 Speaker 3: in the documentary people I recognized or even people I

36:26 Speaker 3: knew personally, and so it was a lot of fun

36:28 Speaker 3: to watch it. I enjoyed it a lot. But we

36:31 Speaker 3: will talk to him in the third hour today right

36:33 Speaker 3: now what we're going to do because we also had

36:35 Speaker 3: a request in the chat room Larry from Loud Entertainment,

36:39 Speaker 3: and we don't usually do requests, but I'm happy to

36:41 Speaker 3: fill or fulfill. I should say this request day to

36:56 Speaker 3: and they've been on the show a bunch of times,

37:12 Speaker 3: been on the show with us before. But he requested

37:15 Speaker 3: that we play this track South Louisiana, which has a

37:18 Speaker 3: little bit of a different vibe for Day to Attend,

37:20 Speaker 3: as you can tell just from the title of the song.

37:22 Speaker 3: But really good. I love this track so much, so

37:26 Speaker 3: we will go ahead and we're going to play this

43:18 Speaker 3: do have a little bit of time, just some quick

43:20 Speaker 3: music news. Again. We're going to be joined in the

43:22 Speaker 3: third hour in just a few minutes by our friend

43:25 Speaker 3: Sean McCarthy to talk about his new documentary Resilience and Sacrifice.

43:28 Speaker 3: But something interesting this showed up on Music Business Worldwide

43:32 Speaker 3: dot com, one of my favorite sites for music industry news.

43:35 Speaker 3: This is something that I do not believe would work

43:37 Speaker 3: in the United States. But and I don't know if

43:40 Speaker 3: it will necessarily work there either. But South Korea something

43:45 Speaker 3: interesting they're doing there. South Korea bill would require music

43:48 Speaker 3: distributors to screen tracks for content harmful to minors before release.

43:55 Speaker 3: And again, this is something that would not work here,

43:57 Speaker 3: which is part of why for a number of which

44:00 Speaker 3: is part of why I find this so interesting that

44:02 Speaker 3: they're doing this. But and this is the first I've

44:05 Speaker 3: heard of this. I didn't even get a chance to

44:06 Speaker 3: preread this, but let's look at this quickly. It says

44:08 Speaker 3: lawmakers in South Korea have introduced a bill that would

44:12 Speaker 3: require music distributors to screen tracks for content harmful to

44:15 Speaker 3: minors before those tracks are released. The amendment to the

44:19 Speaker 3: country's Music Industry Promotion Act was filed on Monday, July

44:24 Speaker 3: sixth by Representative Kim Huen of the ruling Democratic Party

44:29 Speaker 3: of Korea, alongside nine co sponsors, lodged with the National

44:34 Speaker 3: Assembly as Bill number two two one nine seven seven five.

44:37 Speaker 3: It would require distributors to check whether a recording is

44:41 Speaker 3: harmful to youth before release, applying the review criteria to

44:45 Speaker 3: the country's Youth Protection Act. Oh, what could go wrong?

44:48 Speaker 2: Uh?

44:50 Speaker 3: And again this is something that would not work here

44:52 Speaker 3: for several reasons. Continuing on with the article, if a

44:55 Speaker 3: track is judged harmful and its creator is under nigh nineteen,

45:01 Speaker 3: the distributor must block it from release. An adult creator

45:05 Speaker 3: would instead be notified that the track may be designated

45:08 Speaker 3: harmful to youth, restricting it to adult listeners. According to

45:12 Speaker 3: the Korea Times, South Korean arts outlet News Art News

45:19 Speaker 3: Art that's the name of the publication examine the bill

45:23 Speaker 3: as filed with the National Assembly and reported that carries

45:25 Speaker 3: no criminal penalties. Distributors that breach the screening rule would

45:29 Speaker 3: instead face corrective orders or warnings from local governments. Corrective

45:34 Speaker 3: orders that sounds ominous. Under the current system, the Youth

45:37 Speaker 3: Protection Committee under the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family

45:42 Speaker 3: reviews songs after release and bars miners from those it

45:46 Speaker 3: designates harmful. That designation can take weeks or months. The

45:51 Speaker 3: bills backers say leave in a window in which a

45:54 Speaker 3: track can spread online before any Youth Protection Committee ruling.

45:58 Speaker 3: Kimis casts a measure. As a response, it's a hateful

46:01 Speaker 3: and crime glorifying content spreading through music quote artistic This

46:08 Speaker 3: is from Kim. Artistic freedom must be respected, but we

46:14 Speaker 3: cannot stand by and do nothing while hate or crime

46:17 Speaker 3: promoting songs are distributed online freely, harming peer communities, classrooms,

46:21 Speaker 3: and ultimately society as a whole. Because culture and the

46:24 Speaker 3: arts are the spiritual assets of society, any attempt to

46:28 Speaker 3: abuse them as a means of spreading hate speech must

46:32 Speaker 3: be corrected. Unquote. An aid to Kim told The Korea

46:36 Speaker 3: Times that the bill was partly prompted by a recent

46:40 Speaker 3: case involving Incheon Middle school students who released a track

46:45 Speaker 3: filled with violent, hateful expressions towards peers, which then circulated

46:50 Speaker 3: widely across music platforms. Oh that's interesting. I've never seen

46:54 Speaker 3: anything like that happen in the US. Not that it,

46:57 Speaker 3: I mean, maybe it hasn't. I just don't know. But

47:00 Speaker 3: the bill has drawn sharp criticism from within South Korea's

47:02 Speaker 3: music community. Rapper E Sends was among those pushing back

47:06 Speaker 3: on social media. Quote, you shouldn't bring censorship back. Who

47:09 Speaker 3: sets the standards and who gets to decide if a

47:12 Speaker 3: particular song is uncomfortable to listen to? Isn't it enough

47:15 Speaker 3: for that person to simply choose not to consume it? Unquote,

47:20 Speaker 3: that would be my argument. A coalition of ten cultural

47:23 Speaker 3: and arts groups has voiced similar concerns. Culture and arts

47:29 Speaker 3: workers a solidarity set in a statement quote, the bill's

47:32 Speaker 3: reference to music that is likely to cause clear and

47:34 Speaker 3: serious harm to youth doesn't provide any concrete criteria which

47:38 Speaker 3: would allow subjective judgments of what is harmful unquote right,

47:44 Speaker 3: and that's the immediate problem you're going to run into. Um,

47:54 Speaker 3: they went on to say in a statement quote, the

47:55 Speaker 3: idea that strong censorship can prevent hate is nothing more

47:59 Speaker 3: than a fallacy. If this law is underlying logic were correct,

48:03 Speaker 3: then discrimination and hatred should have disappeared under the authoritarian

48:07 Speaker 3: regimes of Park Chung Lee and tuned out one when

48:11 Speaker 3: censorship was at its most powerful in modern Korean history. Unquote.

48:15 Speaker 3: I apologize if I butchered those names. So there's more

48:22 Speaker 3: to this. We don't really have time to go through

48:24 Speaker 3: the entire article, but I would tend to say, I mean,

48:27 Speaker 3: if something and maybe there is something like this that

48:30 Speaker 3: has been introduced in the United States and just didn't

48:32 Speaker 3: get very far, I don't know, but I guess I

48:35 Speaker 3: would say, you know, again, the obvious problem is.

48:40 Speaker 16: You know it is.

48:41 Speaker 3: It is subjective. And in the United States it wouldn't

48:45 Speaker 3: work too in the sense that you would have you know,

48:47 Speaker 3: everyone would be going nuts about, you know, the First Amendment.

48:53 Speaker 3: But also, you know, in the United States, these platforms,

48:58 Speaker 3: and this is something we talk about a lot of

49:00 Speaker 3: the show. These platforms, any any platform that distributes music.

49:05 Speaker 3: You know, they can they can police that themselves. They

49:09 Speaker 3: can make decisions themselves, and you know, and they may

49:13 Speaker 3: they may make those decisions as a result of public pressure,

49:16 Speaker 3: but they are able to make decisions and police themselves

49:20 Speaker 3: in terms of what is and is not permissible on

49:22 Speaker 3: their platforms. So the example used in the article of

49:25 Speaker 3: what happened in South Korea with these these kids at

49:27 Speaker 3: the school who made this apparently horrible, hate filled track,

49:32 Speaker 3: you know, Spotify can say, well, we're not going to

49:36 Speaker 3: allow that on our platform. Again, I'm talking about in

49:40 Speaker 3: the United States, distro Kid. You know, if they signed

49:44 Speaker 3: up for a distro Kid account, distro Kid can say

49:46 Speaker 3: we're we're not going to distribute this song. You know,

49:49 Speaker 3: this is not okay. YouTube would would probably ban it,

49:53 Speaker 3: somebody would report it, it would get removed. So I'm

49:56 Speaker 3: just saying I don't think that would work here, and

49:59 Speaker 3: I'm it's very skeptical that it is going to work there.

50:03 Speaker 3: All right. On that note, we are Yeah, we don't

50:06 Speaker 3: really have time to get to anything else because we

50:08 Speaker 3: do need to show some love to our amazing sponsors.

50:12 Speaker 3: Let's do that right now. Again, if you are just

50:14 Speaker 3: joining us, this is Matt Connorton Unleashed and coming up

50:17 Speaker 3: in just a few minutes our guest for the third hour. Today,

50:21 Speaker 3: we're gonna be talking with Sean McCarthy. He's gonna join

50:24 Speaker 3: us via Microsoft Teams and we're gonna talk all about

50:27 Speaker 3: his new album, I'm sorry, not his new album, his

50:29 Speaker 3: new documentary called a Resilience and Sacrifice And maybe he

50:35 Speaker 3: has a new album to promote too, and I just

50:37 Speaker 3: don't know that, but I'll ask him about that. Hey,

50:39 Speaker 3: do you have a new album? No, I'm really looking

50:41 Speaker 3: forward to talking to Sean. It's been a long time

50:43 Speaker 3: since i've talked to him, and I did watch the documentary.

50:46 Speaker 3: It is really really good. So that will all be

50:49 Speaker 3: coming up in the third hour right now. Do have time, No,

50:53 Speaker 3: we don't have time. I was gonna maybe sneak in

50:55 Speaker 3: one more thing. We don't have time, all right, right now,

50:58 Speaker 3: we're gonna go ahead and show some love to our

51:00 Speaker 3: amazing sponsors. We always have time for that, you know.

51:03 Speaker 3: They pay the bills, and we're lucky, We're very fortunate.

51:06 Speaker 3: Lucky is not the right word, but we are very

51:07 Speaker 3: fortunate to have some great sponsors and advertisers here at
