Happy New Year and some random stuff

For our first episode of 2023, Phil and Neel hung out to talk about a bunch of things on our minds.

We talked about:

• Our upcoming songwriting challenge to write in an unusual mode
• Peter Gabriel is releasing his first album of original songs since 2002
• The Dreamtonics Synthesizer V virtual singer software, and Neel’s testing of it with his recent holiday song
• Plugin Alliance, a great site for plug-ins from many different brands
• The passing of Jeff Beck and Terry Hall (The Specials)
• Song lengths in the age of streaming music
• Mathematics and music
