A new series of interviews with artists titled Sound Motives has been established.
Sound Motives describes the series as “In-depth audio interviews and content discoveries, courtesy of today’s finest electronic musicians” and Dave Cushtilla, an experienced radio producer who is conducting the interviews, explains further, “Sound Motives is an interview project about musical discovery and creativity. Musicians and producers that I respect, discuss what has influenced and inspired them, and what continues to push them to create and refine their craft…I’m really interested in how the sounds musicians create are shaped by the books, films, artists and ideas that have resonated with them. With Sound Motives I’m hoping to investigate where music meets culture.”
The first episode features Shigeto, a Ghostly International artist, discussing what influences have shaped his sound, his hometown of Ann Arbor, Detroit and his musical beginnings and career. The conversation is framed around ‘Sound Sources’ from Shigeto’s upbringing; tracks and influences which have shaped his vocation so far, alongside his own productions.
