Episode #3: Jon Sosin: Radiohead- In Rainbows & Beck- Sea Change

Jon Sosin is a guitarist and all around session musician boss, who, in addition to his excellent guitar playing, is often called to add keyboards, bass, or whatever else the producer needs to get the job done. He has toured and/or recorded with artists such as Meghan Trainor, Lukas Graham, Andy Grammer, Rachel Platten, and Alessia Cara. Jon is also first call session musician for James Iha (Smashing Pumpkins, Marilyn Manson), Jon Levine (Drake,http://instagram.com/joshuaraygooch Selena Gomez, Nelly Furtado) and John Spiker (Tenacious D). In this episode we discuss the the creative process of Nigel Godrich, who happens to have produced both Radiohead’s “In Rainbows” AND Beck’s Sea Change; The role of gear and whether or not we believe it to be an important aspect of musical creation; How complex emotional states were captured so perfectly on both of these records and why they connected so deeply with us; Dynamics and how important they are in keeping a listeners attention over the course of an EP; and much more!Jon and I have been friends for almost a decade now and I consider him to be one of my closest friends and one of the most all around talented musicians I know. This discussion was an absolute blast and I think that comes across in the podcast. Thanks again for checking out Album Impact!Instagram:@joshuaraygooch@jonsosin
