A podcast covering all things related to music production: from the first note to the last fan and everything in between. We create music and inspire others to do the same. Every episode is a live business meeting between me and Dan (me and Keith) as we build this media empire right before your very eyes/ears.
In this episode we discuss:

Per our usual process, we read some selected excerpts and discuss.
Dan and I go through chapters 2 & 3. We do an overview.
Chapter 2 is called Prep Work. We read some selections and discuss.
Michael Beinhorn gets so deep into the process that he becomes part of the project. He almost becomes a band member. He develops a highly proprietary attitude toward the artist’s music.
We mention Prince and 4 Non Blondes.
We mention that Chapter 2 has an extensive list of questions to use as a resource when interviewing an artist. It’s an excellent list of questions and a great thing to go over within the process of producing an artist and for an artist to consider even when self-producing a project. These are conversation starters and they model a therapeutic relationship. Each question could be an entire podcast.
We move on to Chapter 3. Chapter 3 is called Preliminary Preproduction.
Dan loves chapter 3. He points out that the chapter consists of mostly lists of items and or lists of questions to be used when embarking on a creative journey. He says he wants to use chapter 3 as a guide every time he starts any kind of create a project.
It’s exhaustive.
Do you want to not mess up your next music project? This book.
Dan and I both thought it was very revealing that he says that he can’t rely on the artist to be objective about their own work.
Chapters 2 & 3 (the whole book really) are about dialog and therefore, by extension, relationships.
Here are the topics that he covers in Chapter 3 with respect to Preliminary Preproduction:
-Goals to be achieved (list of 12 things)
-Song analysis (list of questions)
-Song Structure (list of questions)
-Song Orchestration (list of questions)
-Vocals (list of questions)
This book is a masterclass. This book is a masterclass in collaboration.
I don’t know what motivates me but it would be nice to know!
Chapter 3 is Dan’s favorite so far. Mine too because I like lists.
