The Check-In with John Mark Lapham-Old Fire

John Mark Lapham is a composer, producer and animator from Abilene Texas.  His newest effort Voids, under the moniker Old Fire, is a collaborative audio collage that illustrates the isolation and the cinematic landscape of his West Texas upbringing.   In this episode Joe and John Mark discuss the dark inspiration behind the record,  why his music tends to celebrate the visual,  and why he  worked with multiple vocalists (Bill Callahan,  Emily Cross, Adam Torres, and Julia Holter) . John Mark shares the long process of making Voids and we hear a couple tunes. https://westernvinyl.com/artists/old-fire.phphttps://oldfire.bandcamp.com/Use Code Fret10 for a free month of Music Production Suite Pro and a 10% discount on all other software.   visit https://www.izotope.com/en/lp/ruinous.html @thetourstories Mentioned in this episode:Schecter GuitarsIzotopeDistrokid
