The Ouchmonkeys Podcast is inspired by Studs Terkel's verbatim writing and the rising prominence of the ‘podcast’ as a medium of long-form discussion. I talk with awesome musicians, producers and sound engineers (amongst others) about creativity, inspiration, practice and loads of other interesting stuff.
A conversation with my friend, sound engineer, musician and music researcher Clive Mead. We discuss the history of sound engineering, the recording studio and music. Visit https://soundcloud.com/clivemead (https://soundcloud.com/clivemead)

Episode #5 Gareth McCorry
This episode is a little different. I discuss music and art with the artist Gareth McCorry - who happens to be my older brother. I've managed to rope him into collaborating with me on a project for my MA - in which we intend to interpret one of his paintings (with the help of Max/MSP/Jitter) into a piece of music. In this episode we discuss and describe a few of Gareths paintings. I've uploaded a supplementary video: https://youtu.be/YWwat8bGJos (https://youtu.be/YWwat8bGJos) so you can visualise the work.
