Surprise Cast #238 Sky Patterns

Greetings, Paul! It was a pleasure to have you on Surprise Cast for an in-depth conversation about your life as a musician! Thank you for retracing your formative influences such as Chameleons, Talk Talk, and others. It was cool to learn about how these bands helped inform your approach to rhythm, melody and recordings. I loved your stories about The Pixies and Charlatans--fascinating and fun! Our podcast listeners will get a detailed walk-through of your songwriting process: starting songs from a single synth note, experimenting with rhythm and texture, prioritizing dynamics and space, and the lyrical choices that capture mood and ambiguity. You're quite good at capturing these aspects as you allow your songs to breathe. I appreciated hearing more about your production and thematic concerns behind the unique album, 'Night Call'. I particularly gravitated to the story behind "the in-betweens". Very observational, you are!  I'm happy that your music and work continues to reach people's hearts and minds. Keep experimenting over traditional formula--it brings out the very best in your creative spirit.
