Interviews, conversations, and roundtable discussions on a variety of relevant, interesting, and entertaining topics. As the old saying goes, "if these walls could talk", surely the dive bars, all night diners and warehouses across the country would be lined with the ideas of creative people. Along with crafting something from nothing, the best part of being a creative person is the conversation with your colleagues. The freedom to share ideas and our processes. To drive home in the wee hours of the morning feeling totally enlightened or having your sides split from laughter. The show has been happening for years except now, we’ve hooked up the cameras and microphones. The spirit of this podcast is to bring these conversations to you, the listener. To gain an insight into the unique psyche of each guest. The primary focus will be on music but anyone working in a creative medium is eligible. We want to create an environment where an unfiltered, uncensored and unrestrained dialogue can blossom. Topics could range widely between in-depth questions on how/why someone creates their work, what ideas sound and feel like per individual, tour stories, current topics or anything that may come up in the moment.

Hello Citizens! This week, we’re doing something a little different from the typical council meeting. It’s our first round table podcast! As we’ve said before, the show has been happening for years, there just weren’t any cameras. The real origin of Sonic City Council came from this group hanging out in late night diners and talking music until the sun came up.
Today, we get into the esoteric. The nuance, science and mystique of how musicians develop their sound. The culmination of when technique, talent, feel approach and instinct meet and are channeled through an instrument. It’s truly a unique experience that differs per individual. How does this happen? Is it all physical? Mental? Spiritual? All of the above? We delve in to this and more in our discussion.

Hello! The Sonic City Council is now in session! Once again Citizens, your patronage is appreciated as we continue to delve into life from the creator’s perspective. This week, we are fortunate to have the incredibly talented and humorous Raelynn Janicke at this week’s council meeting! Raelynn is a mastering engineer and studio manager of Infrasonic Studios out of Nashville Tennessee. She’s apart of an amazing crew of engineers including her boss, Pete Lyman. He has mastered albums for artists like Sturgill Simpson, Chris Stapleton, Weezer, Panic At The Disco, Tom Waits and many others. In this episode, we discussed the process of mastering, how Raelynn found herself working for one of her heroes, maintaining a great gig and many other subjects. We also got into hot takes on food preferences, Richard Simmons and our mutual love for the cult classic movie UHF. Don’t sleep on this week’s meeting!
