HH 095: My Best Friend (Live at VivaSounds w/ Amira Gluhic, Lilia Ohls, Oskar Fredén)
This week's Heavy Hops episode comes from a panel discussion I moderated on December 3rd at Viva Sounds (https://vivasounds.se/) - a conference and live music showcase that takes place annually in Gothenburg, Sweden, hosted by West Side Music. (https://westsidemusicsweden.se/)
This panel - titled "My Best Friend" - looks at the live music sector from a small, independent venue owner and operators’ perspective. We venture beyond the headlines that dominated mainstream and trade media that generally portrayed a triumphant return of live music - and into what types of internal and external challenges these crucial members of the sector face while the industry collectively attempts to find its footing again after pandemic closures.
While this conversation is a snapshot in time, I think it’s extremely relevant not only now, but to be able to look back on when we try to understand music business challenges more broadly. I’ve provided information on each of the panelists and their spaces, as well as the conference in the episode notes.

HH 093: As The Writing Process Unfolds (Will & Sam Skarstad/Yellow Eyes, Ustalost)
One of my favorite parts about talking to musicians is getting to the heart of why they make the creative and musical decisions that are then committed to tape or performed live. Why did they choose to write their lyrics in a certain manner? Why did they record their live album in a historic water tower? How will they reimagine older material for an upcoming performance? The thread among many of these conversations is that they are reflections musicians share on what they’ve done or will do.
This week’s conversation with Will and Sam Skarstad - collaborators, brothers and founding members of New York black metal band Yellow Eyes - shares a rare moment of these decisions happening in real time. The two took a break from intensive writing sessions to share observations of how their creative process is unfolding, how they feel about field recordings which have played an important part in creating ambiance and sense of place in past albums, and what they imagine for the follow up to 2019’s Rare Field Ceiling.
