211: Tyler Duncan

Before Tyler Duncan was a Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist producer/composer with credits including Carly Rae Jepsen, Vulfpeck, Lake Street Dive, Theo Katzman, Scary Pockets and Antwaun Stanley, he was just a kid from Michigan who was obsessed with bagpipes.  Tyler is still based in his hometown Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he makes artful, patient, beautifully crafted productions in his home studio.  We had a wide ranging conversation about "just how rich the world sounds", how producing a project is like "being the surrogate parent" of the music, and how when it comes to making pop music, "You can't mold yourself to a moving target."
