Music Outlook L.A.

My guest today is Joe Beribak. He’s a multi-hyphenate in every sense of the word—a percussionist, a conductor, a prize-winning composer, and a dedicated educator. But his path to the podium is anything but standard. We’re talking about a man who spent nearly two years in the silence of a Benedictine monastery, singing Gregorian chant, before returning to the ‘hustle’ of the modern freelance world. Joe is a recent joiner of the Chicago Federation of Musicians, but he’s also a bridge-builder. Between his late-in-life autism diagnosis and his pursuit of what he calls "Expert Noticing," Joe sees the "invisible world" of sound in a way that’s frankly on a whole different plane of the Spider-Verse. Whether he’s finding music in the sounds of a kitchen or mapping out digital "patch" charts that look like a vintage Moog synth, he is the definition of the modern, neurodivergent artist.Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Joe Beribak…JoeBeribak.com - Listen & WonderWatch & Listen to the podcast on YouTube.

My guest today is legendary journalist, producer, and author Laurie Kaye. Laurie didn't just report on rock history—she was a part of it. Her career at the RKO Radio Network saw her sit across from the titans of music. She famously conducted the final interview with John Lennon on December 8, 1980, and her memoir, "Confessions of a Rock 'n' Roll Name-Dropper: My Life Leading Up To John Lennon's Last Interview", pulls back the curtain on decades of high-stakes storytelling. We’re going to talk about the legendary 'gigs' with figures like Dick Clark, the 'gear' that captured them, and the 'info' she’s gathered from a lifetime on the front lines of rock. Ladies & Gentlemen, this is Laurie Kaye…”Laurie Kaye's Website

My guest is composer, producer, trumpeter, Dave Painchaud out of New York. I’ve known Dave since the mid 80’s as we both came out of Berklee College of Music in Boston together and am a big fan of his work where he “mashes electronic, ambient, orchestral and jazz music in unusual ways”. He not only plays trumpet but the flugelhorn and mellophone as well. His work can be heard in a variety of places on the internet and he’s also the host of his own show “Harmony of the Spheres”. Today Dave and I will talk about being an Independent Artist, his podcast “Harmony of the Spheres”, his CD “Tales Told And Journeys Imagined”, the gear he uses, his thoughts on the Music Modernization Act, and more…We also briefly talk about the Presonus Firestudio Project Interface, Sony Acid DAW, Rokit Studio Monitors, and PCAudioLabs.His website is https://www.mellobrass.comListen & Subscribe at Spreaker, Apple Podacsts (iTunes), Google Podcasts, Soundcloud, YouTube, iHeartRADIO, RadioLine, and SONOS via the TuneIn app.If you’re looking for Live Audio/Video Services in the L.A. or O.C. areas for a 4-5 piece band or business meeting, reach out to us at Kim-Z Entertainment, LLC.Email your questions/comments to [email protected]“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” – Confucius
