In today's episode, Dan talks with composer and sound designer Sefi Carmel. We discuss how Sefi works with Dolby Atmos and the future of mixing music, his start in the industry, telling a story through sound, our mutual love of Blade Runner, coping with imposter syndrome, controlling synthesisers using only your brain waves, the changes he had to make due to pandemic, why Sefi believes composers, sound designers, musicians and voice actors will tend to work remotely in the future, and why we shouldn't worry about the proliferation of rubbish art because of the internet.

This week, Dan and Paul talk to London based photographer, Josh Edgoose. We talk about being shambolic, his first book Brilliant Parade, Josh’s early commitment to colour photography, long coffee-fuelled photo walks in London, Paul’s views on his own personal work, having someone else reviewing your work, photographing strangers without being creepy, Framelines on Youtube, the power of categorising your work, being inspired by gear, Josh’s love of his city, humour in photography, clawhammer banjo, how Dan and Paul’s work has changed since starting the Idle Hands Society Podcast, our two pence on the film versus digital debate, each of our photograph’s that could have been, and Pauls Wandle Trail project.

This week Dan and Paul are reunited to talk about art, music and Margate with artist and Cane Yo collaborator Alex Wilby. We talk about Alex’s feelings on commissioned work, Disneyfied disease illustrations, what music taught us, being inspired by graffiti, working with limited or no colour, drawing on an iPad, what Alex would be painting if nobody were watching, and Alex and Dan nerd out about synthesisers.

In this episode, Dan Higginson and Paul Bence introduce themselves and explore the topic of finding your artistic voice. Neither of us is experts on this topic, but we enjoyed working through it together. Hopefully, I enjoyed listening in on our conversation.
