00:00:00.270 --> 00:00:01.229
Hey, this is Kazza.

2
00:00:01.590 --> 00:00:03.569
This is Jules. And this is Smudge.

3
00:00:04.190 --> 00:00:07.089
You're listening to Quincast, where we have chats about audio

4
00:00:07.110 --> 00:00:09.150
erotica and empowerment through desire.

5
00:00:09.929 --> 00:00:12.269
And we take you behind the scenes with the pros

6
00:00:12.369 --> 00:00:13.410
shaping the industry.

7
00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:14.810
Settle in.

8
00:00:15.339 --> 00:00:18.539
Things are about to get spicy and uncensored.

9
00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:39.619
Hello, Clitizens. If this is your first time here, hi,

10
00:00:39.979 --> 00:00:43.670
we're QuinnCast, a podcast that exists entirely because three people

11
00:00:43.689 --> 00:00:45.869
found each other through their love of very good audio

12
00:00:45.890 --> 00:00:48.000
smart and decided to make something out of it.

13
00:00:48.950 --> 00:00:52.810
Today, we're celebrating the groundbreaking audio collection, Sound Sessions, found

14
00:00:52.850 --> 00:00:56.399
on Quinn with voice actors and Sound Sessions band members,

15
00:00:56.679 --> 00:01:01.140
Miles Cross, Atlas, AJ, music composer Eliza Kay, and the

16
00:01:01.179 --> 00:01:03.179
writer and creator of the whole thing, Lark.

17
00:01:03.710 --> 00:01:07.510
Lark is a scriptwriter for Quinn and a self-proclaimed word nerd.

18
00:01:07.969 --> 00:01:10.930
In this first year writing audio erotica, she has produced

19
00:01:11.030 --> 00:01:15.799
more than 40 Quinn scripts and countless sex puns. Lark

20
00:01:15.829 --> 00:01:19.500
is known for infusing humour, playful banter and wordplay in

21
00:01:19.540 --> 00:01:22.540
her writing. And you can be sure she'll sprinkle some

22
00:01:22.620 --> 00:01:25.060
yearning in there if she has the chance.

23
00:01:25.819 --> 00:01:28.340
Eliza Kay is a writer for a handful of voice

24
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:31.049
actors on Quinn, but spends most of her time putting

25
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:34.250
words in JMO's mouth. When she's not running smut, she

26
00:01:34.269 --> 00:01:37.640
can be found producing TV shows, singing little songs, and

27
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:39.480
taking thousands of pictures of her cats.

28
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:43.859
AJ makes lots of things. Music, films, audios. He ended

29
00:01:43.900 --> 00:01:46.680
up on Quinn somewhat by accident thanks to BookTok and

30
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:49.829
has been making listeners quite happy ever since. He thinks

31
00:01:49.890 --> 00:01:52.030
deeply and will go from making you laugh to making

32
00:01:52.049 --> 00:01:53.829
you think before you even see it coming.

33
00:01:54.450 --> 00:01:57.569
Miles Cross is an actor, writer from Canada who somehow

34
00:01:57.629 --> 00:02:00.359
found himself making audio-erotica content on Quinn.

35
00:02:00.750 --> 00:02:01.340
And loves it.

36
00:02:01.909 --> 00:02:04.030
No longer the new kid on the block, Atlas' stupid

37
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.420
hot boy laugh has taken over Quinn since June 2025

38
00:02:07.420 --> 00:02:10.219
and has been making waves ever since. So let's go

39
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:13.289
backstage with the band and the writers for our Sound

40
00:02:13.330 --> 00:02:15.069
Sessions wrap-up party. Let's bring the gang in.

41
00:02:27.490 --> 00:02:29.159
Oh my god, we've got far too many people in

42
00:02:29.180 --> 00:02:30.879
the Queencast studio. What the hell is going on?

43
00:02:30.900 --> 00:02:33.360
I think this is the most we've ever had before,

44
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:33.740
isn't it?

45
00:02:34.500 --> 00:02:35.680
I can't breathe, it's too crowded.

46
00:02:36.620 --> 00:02:37.259
Give me some space.

47
00:02:37.460 --> 00:02:41.080
I need some space. Right, let's do a round-robin, shall we? Right,

48
00:02:41.099 --> 00:02:44.840
top of the shop is AJ. Hello, AJ.

49
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:47.699
Oh, hello again. It's me. Are you getting sick of

50
00:02:47.740 --> 00:02:49.819
me being on this show? I mean, what's this, the

51
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:53.710
fifth time? Sixth time? I'm very pleased to be invited again,

52
00:02:53.810 --> 00:02:55.490
but I mean, for goodness sake, can't you get any

53
00:02:55.530 --> 00:02:56.389
other people on this show?

54
00:02:57.629 --> 00:02:59.669
Look around the room, you'll see a hundred other people

55
00:02:59.710 --> 00:03:03.469
right now. You're such a good guest, though.

56
00:03:03.490 --> 00:03:04.650
How can we not?

57
00:03:05.500 --> 00:03:07.419
And contractually, we have to have you on for another

58
00:03:07.460 --> 00:03:08.000
six times.

59
00:03:08.060 --> 00:03:09.479
So, you know, we don't want to breach the contract.

60
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:11.719
You're not supposed to tell the public that.

61
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.580
Editing floor, editing floor.

62
00:03:15.740 --> 00:03:17.800
Next in line, we have Miles Cross.

63
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:19.550
Hello. Miles. Hi.

64
00:03:19.610 --> 00:03:21.349
How come I don't have a contract with you guys?

65
00:03:23.090 --> 00:03:25.539
You have to be on four times for that to happen.

66
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:29.060
I don't know if I can count that high.

67
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:29.800
Okay.

68
00:03:29.860 --> 00:03:30.319
Hey, guys.

69
00:03:30.580 --> 00:03:31.789
Also, we trust you.

70
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:35.800
We trust you, Miles. It's a big difference. We bond.

71
00:03:35.900 --> 00:03:38.120
I trust you guys, too.

72
00:03:38.139 --> 00:03:39.199
Welcome to the studio, Miles.

73
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:41.360
And next up, we have Eliza.

74
00:03:41.460 --> 00:03:42.069
How are you?

75
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:44.199
I am great. How are you guys?

76
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:45.180
Good.

77
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:45.960
Welcome to the show.

78
00:03:46.020 --> 00:03:46.219
Welcome.

79
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:48.879
Thanks for having me. This is so fun.

80
00:03:48.900 --> 00:03:50.319
Queen Cass Virgin.

81
00:03:50.340 --> 00:03:52.909
Thank you for popping my cherry.

82
00:03:52.930 --> 00:03:54.069
It's so lovely.

83
00:03:54.449 --> 00:03:55.030
Consensually.

84
00:03:55.349 --> 00:04:00.490
Consensually. Welcome, Eliza.

85
00:04:00.729 --> 00:04:01.810
And Atlas.

86
00:04:02.430 --> 00:04:02.789
Yeah, hi.

87
00:04:02.870 --> 00:04:05.419
Conversely, I've been begging to be on the show, and

88
00:04:05.460 --> 00:04:06.539
they keep telling me no.

89
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:09.699
I think the.

90
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:12.219
DM I got yesterday was, fuck off, Atlas. And it was.

91
00:04:13.069 --> 00:04:14.909
No, I think he said, fuck off, Atlas, again.

92
00:04:14.930 --> 00:04:15.770
Again, yeah.

93
00:04:15.830 --> 00:04:17.069
I mean, it's constant now.

94
00:04:17.089 --> 00:04:18.610
I know, I'm really annoying.

95
00:04:18.790 --> 00:04:21.750
Or was Atlas, maybe send a fucking bio this time?

96
00:04:21.829 --> 00:04:22.850
Oh, yeah.

97
00:04:22.949 --> 00:04:25.009
I kind of did a little bit.

98
00:04:25.029 --> 00:04:25.769
Did you?

99
00:04:25.850 --> 00:04:27.189
We got you.

100
00:04:27.269 --> 00:04:30.279
Anyway, however you got here, by hook or by crook,

101
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:34.480
and paying us, joking. Atlas, welcome to the Quinncast studio.

102
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:37.980
And lastly, but not leastly, we have Lark in the studio.

103
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:39.339
Hello. Hello.

104
00:04:39.910 --> 00:04:42.029
The creator of the sound sessions.

105
00:04:41.629 --> 00:04:45.470
Welcome lark oh thank you oh my goodness i'm really excited.

106
00:04:45.730 --> 00:04:50.790
Another queen cast virgin i know so many consensual cherry

107
00:04:50.829 --> 00:04:55.980
poppins yes cherry poppins i got you i take care

108
00:04:56.019 --> 00:04:57.680
of the ladies when they come on for the first

109
00:04:57.860 --> 00:05:00.699
time that's appreciated no.

110
00:05:00.620 --> 00:05:04.120
Lies thank god because i I fuck women.

111
00:05:04.139 --> 00:05:06.250
And you really like it.

112
00:05:06.610 --> 00:05:06.759
Yeah.

113
00:05:06.850 --> 00:05:10.810
Oh, I remember that. I can't remember what episode. I

114
00:05:10.810 --> 00:05:14.009
fuck women, but I really like it.

115
00:05:14.029 --> 00:05:14.990
AJ. Anyway.

116
00:05:15.550 --> 00:05:16.129
Yeah.

117
00:05:16.449 --> 00:05:16.670
Yes.

118
00:05:16.810 --> 00:05:20.060
So anyway, the reason why we have this gaggle of,

119
00:05:21.189 --> 00:05:25.389
gorgeous people with us is because um we just wrapped

120
00:05:25.410 --> 00:05:30.000
the final finale of sound sessions which was a quinn

121
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:35.199
multiverse style or set of audios so i think lark

122
00:05:35.220 --> 00:05:37.339
you're probably the best person to tell us all about

123
00:05:37.379 --> 00:05:40.500
sound sessions where it started how it started and how

124
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:40.959
we got.

125
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:46.540
Here okay no pressure or anything at all no you

126
00:05:46.579 --> 00:05:50.160
got this lark yeah oh my gosh It's funny because

127
00:05:50.180 --> 00:05:52.720
I'm trying to explain the concept I had in my

128
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:56.019
head and actually vocalize it through the course of, you know,

129
00:05:56.060 --> 00:05:58.730
acquiring 15 VAs to do this. It's like eventually I

130
00:05:58.750 --> 00:06:01.050
think by the 15th I got it, but leading up

131
00:06:01.069 --> 00:06:05.189
to that was like a little rough. Yeah. So basically

132
00:06:05.410 --> 00:06:08.069
I've been a huge music lover all my life and

133
00:06:08.329 --> 00:06:09.870
just in the last year or so that I've really

134
00:06:09.889 --> 00:06:13.310
started writing AE. And so I wanted to do something

135
00:06:13.329 --> 00:06:15.009
that kind of brought both of them together. So kind

136
00:06:15.050 --> 00:06:20.000
of meld the whole music and intimacy kind of, together.

137
00:06:20.180 --> 00:06:22.100
And so that's what I did. And it all started

138
00:06:22.220 --> 00:06:26.819
actually with Atlas. So it was, I think around September

139
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:29.930
last year, around that time anyway, Atlas had put out

140
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:35.269
an audio written by the lovely Brewie, my Nightingale. And

141
00:06:35.470 --> 00:06:39.430
in it, there's one single, one single moment where he

142
00:06:39.470 --> 00:06:42.889
says the word Nightingale in this sing-songy way. And as

143
00:06:42.949 --> 00:06:45.120
soon as I heard it, I was like, that dude sings.

144
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:48.410
And immediately I was in his DMs. I'm like, you sing,

145
00:06:48.490 --> 00:06:50.149
don't you? And he was like, how do you know that?

146
00:06:50.189 --> 00:06:52.230
You're the second first to say that. And I was like, okay,

147
00:06:52.670 --> 00:06:55.689
we're doing this. So yeah, so I pitched him. I

148
00:06:55.730 --> 00:06:56.889
asked him if he would be willing to do an

149
00:06:56.970 --> 00:06:59.129
audio that had music and had him singing in it

150
00:06:59.149 --> 00:07:01.829
and he was on board. And so it was just

151
00:07:01.870 --> 00:07:04.649
going to be that one standalone script. And then Miles

152
00:07:04.709 --> 00:07:07.230
came into our world and Miles was also a music

153
00:07:07.250 --> 00:07:10.670
guy and I wanted to write for him and asked

154
00:07:10.689 --> 00:07:12.589
him about doing a music script. He was on board.

155
00:07:12.670 --> 00:07:15.470
And I don't remember if Miles suggested it and said, hey,

156
00:07:15.490 --> 00:07:17.370
you should do a series or if it was just like,

157
00:07:18.149 --> 00:07:20.550
through one of my many conversations with him that it

158
00:07:20.569 --> 00:07:23.009
kind of came to me, but yeah, so it started

159
00:07:23.029 --> 00:07:25.459
with Atlas and then with Miles was kind of like

160
00:07:25.500 --> 00:07:28.420
the jumping off point and he's been my, my hype

161
00:07:28.459 --> 00:07:31.129
dude all along with this. So yeah. It was only

162
00:07:31.170 --> 00:07:33.089
supposed to be, I swear, it was only supposed to

163
00:07:33.110 --> 00:07:36.350
be like three, four audios. And then it's like, I've

164
00:07:36.370 --> 00:07:38.709
got like the script equivalent of, you know, when your

165
00:07:38.829 --> 00:07:40.790
eyes are too big for your stomach, but it's like

166
00:07:40.829 --> 00:07:42.069
the script version of that.

167
00:07:42.089 --> 00:07:43.449
Just can't stop.

168
00:07:43.810 --> 00:07:46.509
You can't. Yeah. Well, no, there's so many great, great

169
00:07:47.209 --> 00:07:50.430
talents in this space and musical talents that people just

170
00:07:50.449 --> 00:07:52.939
don't realize. And so. I would, you know, I knew

171
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:55.350
of a few people, obviously, AJ, being a musician and

172
00:07:55.370 --> 00:07:58.610
whatnot was, you know, was an obvious one. But there's

173
00:07:58.629 --> 00:08:01.069
other people that kind of just through conversations with others

174
00:08:01.129 --> 00:08:03.689
or social media posts, you start realizing that, you know,

175
00:08:03.709 --> 00:08:06.709
other people play guitar or piano. And so, yeah, what

176
00:08:06.730 --> 00:08:08.740
started as supposed to be three or four ended up,

177
00:08:08.949 --> 00:08:11.029
you know, 15. Just a few more.

178
00:08:13.939 --> 00:08:17.100
You were like a cat lady with these audios because

179
00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:19.620
you would adopt like three and.

180
00:08:19.579 --> 00:08:21.079
Then you were like, well, just one more. This is

181
00:08:21.139 --> 00:08:23.220
really cool looking great cat.

182
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:24.540
And then by the end of it, you had like

183
00:08:24.540 --> 00:08:25.310
16 cats.

184
00:08:25.490 --> 00:08:28.069
It was hilarious. And I don't know if it was just,

185
00:08:28.209 --> 00:08:30.310
I mean, like VAs are really busy and stuff, right? So,

186
00:08:30.589 --> 00:08:32.070
you know, I might have sent out my first or

187
00:08:32.110 --> 00:08:34.149
second round of invitations. And if I didn't hear back,

188
00:08:34.169 --> 00:08:36.899
you know, you move on. But then eventually... You hear

189
00:08:36.950 --> 00:08:38.549
back for them and you're like, oh, well, let me

190
00:08:38.590 --> 00:08:42.190
just write some more, you know. So it kind of

191
00:08:42.230 --> 00:08:45.509
evolved from there. But yeah, it was crazy.

192
00:08:46.029 --> 00:08:48.730
That's kind of a cool origin story that it just

193
00:08:48.750 --> 00:08:51.110
started from like one word that Atlas said in a

194
00:08:51.149 --> 00:08:53.720
sing-songy way. And that's really neat.

195
00:08:54.649 --> 00:08:57.149
That's cool. And I tell Brewery, the writer that wrote

196
00:08:57.190 --> 00:08:59.590
that script, she's so sweet and very, very humble. And

197
00:08:59.629 --> 00:09:02.570
so I'm like, you started it all. And she's like, stop.

198
00:09:03.950 --> 00:09:07.070
But she did, kind of.

199
00:09:08.289 --> 00:09:11.350
So did you guys, Miles, AJ and Atlas, did you

200
00:09:11.389 --> 00:09:14.009
guys think to yourself, oh, well, you know, I'm doing

201
00:09:14.029 --> 00:09:17.620
audio erotica, voice acting, creating. But the one thing that

202
00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:19.559
people are going to call me for to do a

203
00:09:19.580 --> 00:09:21.379
script is because of my music ability.

204
00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:22.059
No. No.

205
00:09:22.700 --> 00:09:23.220
No, yeah.

206
00:09:25.940 --> 00:09:28.840
No, I mean like when I started this, I think

207
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:31.500
at some point I had the thought that I might

208
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:33.899
like to incorporate music at some point just because it's

209
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:35.750
something I have loved to do for a long time.

210
00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:38.450
But yeah, I don't know. For a long time, I

211
00:09:38.470 --> 00:09:40.529
just felt like I didn't have the time. I know

212
00:09:40.570 --> 00:09:43.029
I kept waiting a long time. Sorry about that.

213
00:09:43.110 --> 00:09:44.929
It's only what, nine months? That's okay.

214
00:09:44.970 --> 00:09:46.990
I could have had a child, but you know, that's fine.

215
00:09:47.009 --> 00:09:49.330
My bad, my bad.

216
00:09:49.769 --> 00:09:50.549
I mean, you know.

217
00:09:51.730 --> 00:09:56.500
Healthy bouncing baby yeah it came out pretty good it did.

218
00:09:56.259 --> 00:09:59.429
It did to be fair it did so that's where

219
00:09:59.450 --> 00:10:03.120
the the um script came from and the fact it

220
00:10:03.139 --> 00:10:05.320
was going to be music but when did the music

221
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:08.200
kick in did you already have the music in line

222
00:10:08.220 --> 00:10:10.779
did you already have eliza in line how did that

223
00:10:10.830 --> 00:10:11.500
come about.

224
00:10:12.110 --> 00:10:15.679
Yeah so actually eliza came in um quite a ways

225
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:18.919
down the road. So the music part, again, because this

226
00:10:18.940 --> 00:10:21.559
was only supposed to be one script, when Atlas and

227
00:10:21.580 --> 00:10:23.080
I talked about it, we were trying to figure out,

228
00:10:23.259 --> 00:10:24.350
you know, was I going to write it? Was he

229
00:10:24.370 --> 00:10:27.129
going to write it? And so we decided I'd write

230
00:10:27.149 --> 00:10:31.070
the lyrics for it. And Atlas was a musician, is

231
00:10:31.090 --> 00:10:34.009
a musician. So he wrote the melody and then put

232
00:10:34.049 --> 00:10:37.750
it together. And I was blown away. I just, he

233
00:10:37.789 --> 00:10:40.929
sent me the advanced copy to listen to of the song.

234
00:10:41.090 --> 00:10:44.929
And poor atlas my i just responded in all caps

235
00:10:45.070 --> 00:10:46.490
and i don't think he knew whether it was a

236
00:10:46.649 --> 00:10:48.210
good reaction.

237
00:10:47.690 --> 00:10:49.669
Or a bad reaction this happens to me a lot

238
00:10:49.690 --> 00:10:50.289
because it was.

239
00:10:50.210 --> 00:10:53.250
Yeah i know i know it was just me yelling

240
00:10:53.289 --> 00:10:55.470
i was like atlas and i was like i think

241
00:10:55.490 --> 00:10:57.450
it was like what did you do or something like

242
00:10:57.490 --> 00:11:00.389
that but it was just like i mean you know

243
00:11:00.509 --> 00:11:02.289
he's got a beautiful voice and the song was just

244
00:11:02.629 --> 00:11:04.789
it was just so unique too it's like like the

245
00:11:05.029 --> 00:11:07.980
i don't know it was just it was beautiful so Yeah,

246
00:11:08.019 --> 00:11:10.460
so that's how it started with him. And then with Miles,

247
00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:13.740
it was kind of a collaborative effort. I did come

248
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:17.179
up with the lyrics and kind of a basic melody.

249
00:11:17.220 --> 00:11:19.029
And then Miles kind of made it his own and

250
00:11:19.049 --> 00:11:21.720
tweaked it a little bit and added in some and

251
00:11:21.740 --> 00:11:24.799
whatnot but that was really that was really humbling though

252
00:11:24.820 --> 00:11:27.509
because it's like for me to communicate the medley I

253
00:11:27.539 --> 00:11:30.690
don't really play any instruments well so I'm like on

254
00:11:30.730 --> 00:11:33.330
my phone with the voice recorder me and my humble

255
00:11:33.389 --> 00:11:35.409
voice you know and then like oh my gosh I'm

256
00:11:35.429 --> 00:11:37.110
going to send this to this voice actor that I

257
00:11:37.330 --> 00:11:39.610
you know only started to get to know and it

258
00:11:39.629 --> 00:11:41.549
was quite yeah it was it was humbling you.

259
00:11:41.490 --> 00:11:46.629
Know wait but Lark Lark secretly has an incredible voice

260
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:49.990
and I I hate that she pretends like.

261
00:11:49.809 --> 00:11:54.149
She doesn't this is an amazing opportunity to show the

262
00:11:54.250 --> 00:11:55.330
i'm kidding no we're.

263
00:11:55.090 --> 00:11:58.669
Not going oh my god well yeah especially like i

264
00:11:58.669 --> 00:12:00.820
mean okay so at least eliza's heard something that i've

265
00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:03.519
recorded in a studio before but miles you've only heard

266
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:06.320
a voice note so if you were sharing something that

267
00:12:06.340 --> 00:12:08.360
would have i did not do good.

268
00:12:08.059 --> 00:12:11.000
No okay mark did you want to sing us a

269
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:11.899
little something right.

270
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:15.149
Now totally Maybe, no.

271
00:12:15.169 --> 00:12:19.879
Oh my God, I thought you were going to. I'm disappointed.

272
00:12:20.049 --> 00:12:22.980
So the third person that did an audio on this

273
00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:27.679
was Barry, Hydrated Baritone. And that was a song that was,

274
00:12:27.980 --> 00:12:31.000
the song that he performed, Acapella, was a song that

275
00:12:31.019 --> 00:12:33.090
I had written and recorded. And so I had the

276
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:35.710
melody and I had the lyrics. So I was able

277
00:12:35.750 --> 00:12:39.529
to send that to him to go off of. So

278
00:12:39.549 --> 00:12:41.070
that was pretty cool. And it was really he was

279
00:12:41.110 --> 00:12:43.690
so kind about it. He was really, really sweet. You know,

280
00:12:43.710 --> 00:12:45.909
he was he was honored to kind of be able

281
00:12:45.980 --> 00:12:47.759
to do that kind of like a tribute. I don't

282
00:12:47.779 --> 00:12:49.720
know how to explain it. It was just he was

283
00:12:49.740 --> 00:12:52.799
just really lovely. And then so, yeah, we got through. Gosh,

284
00:12:52.820 --> 00:12:55.279
how many scripts? I think we were on like nine

285
00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:58.639
or something like that. And Eliza and I know Eliza

286
00:12:58.659 --> 00:13:00.379
and I in the meantime had become friends and I

287
00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:03.519
found out she was musical and not just musical, but

288
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:09.809
phenomenal vocalist, insane vocalist. Um, and we were talking about

289
00:13:09.830 --> 00:13:12.220
it and she offered to kind of help me write

290
00:13:12.250 --> 00:13:13.820
the song at the time it was for Adam Craves.

291
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:16.080
And I was trying to figure out, cause we were

292
00:13:16.100 --> 00:13:18.500
doing kind of like this film noir style and I'm like, well,

293
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:20.080
what am I going to do for this? And so.

294
00:13:20.789 --> 00:13:22.330
She was like, let me think about it. And I

295
00:13:22.370 --> 00:13:24.610
don't even know how long you took. It was something stupid,

296
00:13:24.629 --> 00:13:27.070
like 20 minutes or something and came back with this.

297
00:13:27.789 --> 00:13:30.129
It was, I mean, it seems like a very short time.

298
00:13:30.149 --> 00:13:32.100
I think it was probably two hours. I was, I

299
00:13:32.139 --> 00:13:34.799
should have been doing work, but then didn't.

300
00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:37.019
Yeah.

301
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:38.980
I was like, oh, I can do this other thing

302
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:40.500
that I actually want to do more than the work

303
00:13:40.539 --> 00:13:42.419
that I have to do. So then I went to

304
00:13:42.460 --> 00:13:44.039
my piano. I think it was like two hours that

305
00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:45.159
I sent you a chorus.

306
00:13:45.340 --> 00:13:45.539
Yeah.

307
00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:46.919
I don't even know if it was, I know when

308
00:13:46.940 --> 00:13:48.980
we got to Alice, it was around two hours, but yeah.

309
00:13:49.220 --> 00:13:51.100
it was just like, and I was expecting, I don't know.

310
00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:54.299
I was just expecting something really like rudimentary or something.

311
00:13:54.350 --> 00:13:57.789
And then it was just this beautiful voice and wow. So,

312
00:13:58.330 --> 00:14:00.149
and we sent it to Adam and Adam was the

313
00:14:00.190 --> 00:14:04.649
same way. Adam was like, wow, like her voice is insane. So,

314
00:14:05.129 --> 00:14:07.419
and then it was, yeah, Eliza was immediately part of,

315
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:09.519
part of the team then. So she helped us do

316
00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:13.299
three songs, right? Three. So one for Adam, one for Alice,

317
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:17.409
and then the finale song, which is our, you know, um,

318
00:14:18.379 --> 00:14:19.980
Our peak. That's not a good term. You know what

319
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:23.519
I mean? It's like the climax. I didn't want to

320
00:14:23.570 --> 00:14:25.509
say that. I did not want to say that.

321
00:14:25.570 --> 00:14:26.409
I wasn't going there.

322
00:14:26.429 --> 00:14:27.289
I wasn't going there.

323
00:14:27.570 --> 00:14:28.289
You did.

324
00:14:28.330 --> 00:14:30.169
We all really arrived there.

325
00:14:30.210 --> 00:14:34.210
Yeah, we did. It was a really strong finish. Beautiful.

326
00:14:35.230 --> 00:14:36.169
Eliza, quick question.

327
00:14:36.330 --> 00:14:39.309
Did you know who you were writing for and did

328
00:14:39.370 --> 00:14:42.450
that matter? Did you get to know what they were

329
00:14:42.529 --> 00:14:44.529
like through their audios or through?

330
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:47.740
Yeah I did I did know I did know who

331
00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:51.299
I was writing for um my first questions usually are

332
00:14:51.500 --> 00:14:54.610
what is their range um and then what is like

333
00:14:54.669 --> 00:14:57.289
the the vibe that we're going for knowing that Adam

334
00:14:57.330 --> 00:15:00.409
Craves needed a jazzy tune my background isn't jazz so

335
00:15:00.429 --> 00:15:03.549
I was like that's easy I love seventh chords so

336
00:15:03.570 --> 00:15:05.809
I just kind of you know threw something together and

337
00:15:05.850 --> 00:15:08.200
then sent it to Lark and was like do you

338
00:15:08.220 --> 00:15:10.100
think this can work and that's honestly kind of what

339
00:15:10.139 --> 00:15:11.559
I did for everyone I did the same thing for

340
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:14.830
Alice and then when it came to the finale, I

341
00:15:14.850 --> 00:15:16.289
knew I was going to be running for miles and

342
00:15:16.309 --> 00:15:18.730
I was familiar with his voice hearing it from, um,

343
00:15:20.169 --> 00:15:22.590
the first sound sessions audio, but also like people, everyone

344
00:15:22.629 --> 00:15:24.769
is kind of had kind of sent me clips of

345
00:15:24.830 --> 00:15:28.970
them singing. So I had an understanding of what they

346
00:15:28.990 --> 00:15:32.029
could do and kind of took that with me into, um,

347
00:15:32.929 --> 00:15:37.429
the songwriting of it all. But the last one, was

348
00:15:37.690 --> 00:15:41.159
fun because it needed to be like epic in a finale,

349
00:15:41.220 --> 00:15:43.100
like movie way, I thought.

350
00:15:43.299 --> 00:15:45.419
And so I think we got there.

351
00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:49.480
The thing is with, with Miles and Eliza, both, um,

352
00:15:49.940 --> 00:15:51.519
you know, when you have that one friend you go

353
00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:54.830
to that kind of puts you in check, like you're going,

354
00:15:54.970 --> 00:15:58.610
you're going crazy, like calm down. they're not those people

355
00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:03.649
so um we're enablers no they're they're the biggest enablers

356
00:16:03.690 --> 00:16:05.590
they're dreamers like i am right so i go to

357
00:16:05.629 --> 00:16:07.590
them with these ideas and instead of them being like

358
00:16:07.629 --> 00:16:09.549
yeah you know what you should probably bring that down

359
00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:12.080
to scale you know they're like let's do it let's

360
00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:14.419
you know let's do it you know let's sure let's

361
00:16:14.460 --> 00:16:17.539
let's make it a band sure you know there's you know,

362
00:16:17.610 --> 00:16:19.850
four VAs in three different countries, but let's, let's just

363
00:16:19.870 --> 00:16:21.269
make it happen. You know, let's just do it.

364
00:16:21.330 --> 00:16:21.610
Yeah.

365
00:16:21.789 --> 00:16:23.509
That was the crazy, that was the craziest part of this.

366
00:16:23.690 --> 00:16:25.730
Cause I was like, the other songs I'd written for

367
00:16:25.789 --> 00:16:27.570
the series were fairly ballady.

368
00:16:27.610 --> 00:16:29.389
And I was like, I don't want to do another ballad.

369
00:16:29.529 --> 00:16:30.610
We have to do something fun.

370
00:16:30.970 --> 00:16:33.370
And so, but I was like, to make it feel

371
00:16:33.389 --> 00:16:34.960
more epic, I think there should be a full band

372
00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:36.919
behind it as opposed to just a piano, which is

373
00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:38.519
kind of what I had done with the other two.

374
00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:41.759
And I initially was like, okay, Sarah, my music writing

375
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:44.669
partner can handle that bit and it'll be fine. And

376
00:16:44.710 --> 00:16:46.190
then Mark was like, but what if we made a

377
00:16:46.250 --> 00:16:49.169
band with other VAs that have already been in the series?

378
00:16:49.190 --> 00:16:52.669
And I was like, Oh, I was like, I don't

379
00:16:52.690 --> 00:16:54.190
know how we're going to do that. Cause usually a

380
00:16:54.230 --> 00:16:56.629
band you're recording together and you can feed off of

381
00:16:56.700 --> 00:16:57.629
each other's energy.

382
00:16:57.720 --> 00:16:59.750
And yeah, but I was like, we can try it.

383
00:16:59.879 --> 00:17:01.299
And we did. And it, it worked out.

384
00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:03.259
And I think you would never know if you listen

385
00:17:03.299 --> 00:17:07.140
to it in a different place. Yeah.

386
00:17:07.259 --> 00:17:09.259
And I mean like working around everyone's schedule is really

387
00:17:09.299 --> 00:17:13.640
difficult too, because everyone's got different things going on and, Normally,

388
00:17:13.660 --> 00:17:16.960
we would start with the drummer to kind of set

389
00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:19.779
the tone, set the beat of it. But AJ wasn't

390
00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:22.319
available right then. He was away. And so we started

391
00:17:22.339 --> 00:17:24.369
with Atlas. And so we had to kind of rely

392
00:17:24.420 --> 00:17:25.940
on him. And he's like, OK, well, it's going to

393
00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:28.450
be pretty basic because I'm not sure what the drummer

394
00:17:28.490 --> 00:17:29.269
would do.

395
00:17:30.029 --> 00:17:33.650
All my years in bands and stuff, some of that

396
00:17:33.690 --> 00:17:34.730
time was spent on bass.

397
00:17:34.809 --> 00:17:36.930
And I was telling her at the time.

398
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:40.640
And usually when I'm writing music, I'm writing it with

399
00:17:40.859 --> 00:17:44.910
the other people involved. And especially bass and drums are really,

400
00:17:44.930 --> 00:17:47.890
really tight. We will typically do things to play off

401
00:17:47.950 --> 00:17:49.569
of each other and make sure we're kind of both

402
00:17:49.609 --> 00:17:51.789
in the pocket and accenting things and all that.

403
00:17:51.829 --> 00:17:54.559
So it felt like flying blind a bit there.

404
00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:55.259
Yeah.

405
00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:58.700
Also, I have to say, these guys were such troopers

406
00:17:58.720 --> 00:18:02.339
because all I gave them were tabs and BPM.

407
00:18:03.259 --> 00:18:03.880
It's just like, good luck.

408
00:18:04.410 --> 00:18:04.809
Have fun.

409
00:18:06.029 --> 00:18:06.690
But it worked out.

410
00:18:08.569 --> 00:18:10.970
Did anything not work out? Was there a song or

411
00:18:10.990 --> 00:18:13.769
a piece of music or something that just didn't hit right?

412
00:18:13.829 --> 00:18:15.150
Or did you just nail it every time?

413
00:18:15.170 --> 00:18:17.660
I thought everybody did a phenomenal job. And it's funny

414
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:20.200
because I was going in this blind a lot of

415
00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:22.660
the time. You know, there are some people that, again,

416
00:18:22.700 --> 00:18:25.720
the ones that have been in the music industry or

417
00:18:25.980 --> 00:18:29.079
performed live in some capacity might have had something online.

418
00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:31.440
But for the others, you're just kind of word of

419
00:18:31.500 --> 00:18:34.819
mouth or taking their word for it that they can sing, which,

420
00:18:35.220 --> 00:18:37.440
you know, a lot of times they can. But then

421
00:18:37.500 --> 00:18:39.200
a lot of, you know, not speaking with the VAs,

422
00:18:39.240 --> 00:18:41.319
I'm talking people in general. You've got people whose moms

423
00:18:41.339 --> 00:18:43.220
told them, yeah, baby, you're doing great. And then you're

424
00:18:43.269 --> 00:18:47.130
just like, no, honey, you are. So you just don't know.

425
00:18:47.150 --> 00:18:48.990
You don't know which one it's going to be. Right.

426
00:18:49.049 --> 00:18:51.750
But I was I mean, I think we were pretty lucky.

427
00:18:51.869 --> 00:18:53.990
Everyone did an amazing job and they were so excited

428
00:18:54.009 --> 00:18:56.470
about it, too. I was worried, you know, that I

429
00:18:56.609 --> 00:18:58.130
wouldn't say I was worried, but I kind of thought

430
00:18:58.150 --> 00:19:00.309
I would have to do more writing. for music than

431
00:19:00.349 --> 00:19:04.259
I had to. I think I only ended up doing four,

432
00:19:05.299 --> 00:19:07.319
but I think, or having my hand in four of them,

433
00:19:07.380 --> 00:19:10.019
and the other ones were on their own, where Eliza

434
00:19:10.779 --> 00:19:12.460
took the lead on it. So Eliza did three, I

435
00:19:12.579 --> 00:19:14.240
did four, and then the rest, I guess, were all

436
00:19:14.619 --> 00:19:18.650
the VAs. We had one, Adrienne did a jazz standard.

437
00:19:19.269 --> 00:19:22.589
So it was one that was royalty free, you know,

438
00:19:22.609 --> 00:19:28.349
like the public domain. Yeah, so. Yeah, so he was

439
00:19:28.430 --> 00:19:29.990
kind of doing, he wanted to do a jazz standard,

440
00:19:30.009 --> 00:19:31.609
so that worked for him, but all of the other

441
00:19:31.670 --> 00:19:35.440
ones were all original work, so that was pretty cool.

442
00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:38.779
So for the scripts, Lark, what was the order of things?

443
00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:41.859
Was it, I have a storyline I have here, this

444
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:43.769
is the kind of musical accompaniment I want in it,

445
00:19:43.809 --> 00:19:45.240
let me go find the person who can fill it,

446
00:19:45.829 --> 00:19:48.309
or here's a person who has some musical talent, let

447
00:19:48.329 --> 00:19:50.490
me write a story around it. What was the order

448
00:19:50.710 --> 00:19:51.089
of things?

449
00:19:53.009 --> 00:19:56.890
I love that you think there was one. I love

450
00:19:56.910 --> 00:19:59.029
that for me. I mean, it was kind of a

451
00:19:59.079 --> 00:20:03.400
hybrid of things. There were certain VAs. And certainly, you know,

452
00:20:03.420 --> 00:20:06.400
I'm still relatively new. I haven't even, you know, my

453
00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:09.000
first audio, it hasn't even been a year since it's

454
00:20:09.019 --> 00:20:12.069
been on Al Quinn. So And this was back in

455
00:20:12.130 --> 00:20:14.690
February that I'm recruiting most of the people. And so

456
00:20:14.750 --> 00:20:16.990
I didn't really have my name out there yet. So

457
00:20:17.230 --> 00:20:20.309
for the first part of it, now I can kind

458
00:20:20.329 --> 00:20:23.289
of go to VAs I worked with and say, hey,

459
00:20:23.309 --> 00:20:24.930
I have this idea and they'll trust me to run

460
00:20:24.970 --> 00:20:27.309
with it. But if they've never worked with me before,

461
00:20:27.390 --> 00:20:29.529
they're not familiar with my name, you kind of have

462
00:20:29.549 --> 00:20:31.029
to have a script in front of them. So it

463
00:20:31.069 --> 00:20:33.130
was kind of, and I think that's part of why

464
00:20:33.150 --> 00:20:36.400
it ended up building eventually to 15 is that you know,

465
00:20:36.420 --> 00:20:38.839
it got to that point where I could just pitch

466
00:20:38.900 --> 00:20:41.480
the idea because if I had to write 15 scripts

467
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:44.359
in advance and then go and pitch them to people,

468
00:20:44.420 --> 00:20:47.160
it would have been way too much. So, so yeah, like,

469
00:20:47.180 --> 00:20:50.250
I mean, obviously I already had Miles and Atlas done

470
00:20:50.710 --> 00:20:53.490
and then it was, um, it was Barry who I'd

471
00:20:53.529 --> 00:20:55.910
worked with before that was next and I had the

472
00:20:55.950 --> 00:20:58.880
song already. So I pitched the idea to him. And,

473
00:20:59.150 --> 00:21:00.630
and yeah, he was down for it. And so I

474
00:21:00.650 --> 00:21:02.849
think most of them are pitches that way. But when

475
00:21:02.869 --> 00:21:05.950
I started working with, or kind of chatting with VAs

476
00:21:06.029 --> 00:21:08.190
I hadn't worked with before, I kind of came to

477
00:21:08.230 --> 00:21:12.579
them with like three options. If I knew what, what their,

478
00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:14.140
their talent was. So if it was guitar, I'd have

479
00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:16.680
three guitar based options. If I wasn't sure if they

480
00:21:16.700 --> 00:21:18.599
wanted to do voice or guitar, I'd kind of have

481
00:21:19.099 --> 00:21:22.599
a mixture and yeah, I got them to choose, choose

482
00:21:22.619 --> 00:21:24.559
what they wanted. And then if they didn't take the others,

483
00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:26.890
then the other ones I could use potentially to float by,

484
00:21:27.210 --> 00:21:30.269
by another VA. So. I mean, I wouldn't say it's

485
00:21:30.329 --> 00:21:33.829
a sophisticated system. I wouldn't say people should follow my direction.

486
00:21:33.849 --> 00:21:35.029
Definitely not.

487
00:21:35.089 --> 00:21:38.410
It works for you, right? It's very much the whole

488
00:21:38.450 --> 00:21:41.349
fake it till you make it thing. Did I make it?

489
00:21:41.390 --> 00:21:41.950
I mean, I don't know.

490
00:21:41.970 --> 00:21:46.789
I'd say 15 audios later, you made it. Like, was

491
00:21:46.809 --> 00:21:49.069
there ever a moment when things started kind of the

492
00:21:49.109 --> 00:21:50.470
ball started rolling and you're like, this is going to

493
00:21:50.490 --> 00:21:52.410
be more than four or five scripts. Did you ever

494
00:21:52.430 --> 00:21:54.130
have a moment where you thought this is going to

495
00:21:54.170 --> 00:21:57.529
either be brilliant or this is a crazy, terrible idea?

496
00:21:57.549 --> 00:21:57.950
Yeah.

497
00:21:58.230 --> 00:21:58.910
A moment like that?

498
00:21:59.349 --> 00:22:03.609
Yeah, absolutely. And it was in conversations. I mean, with

499
00:22:03.650 --> 00:22:06.109
a couple of VAs where we're talking about, like, let's

500
00:22:06.150 --> 00:22:10.549
be honest, series don't tend to do well on, on

501
00:22:10.609 --> 00:22:13.069
Quinn on the apps, because you've got, you know, you

502
00:22:13.089 --> 00:22:16.170
might have a wildly successful audio, but then inevitably, I mean,

503
00:22:16.190 --> 00:22:17.650
it's the same thing with movies, you go into your

504
00:22:17.690 --> 00:22:20.829
part two, usually, you know, the plays are lower, and

505
00:22:20.869 --> 00:22:22.750
then you go into three and beyond, they kind of

506
00:22:22.789 --> 00:22:25.349
continue to dwindle. And I didn't want it to be

507
00:22:25.410 --> 00:22:27.470
like that. I didn't want it to be a series.

508
00:22:27.990 --> 00:22:30.650
The audios all have, like their through line is that

509
00:22:30.670 --> 00:22:33.809
there's an element of music incorporated, but some of them

510
00:22:33.890 --> 00:22:36.190
are very slice of life audios. Some of them actually

511
00:22:36.329 --> 00:22:40.380
have the VA being a musician, so playing that role.

512
00:22:41.690 --> 00:22:45.700
But there's no, apart from one and the finale that

513
00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:48.779
kind of incorporates a few of them into it, they're

514
00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:50.920
all standalone. I kind of tried to frame it more

515
00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:52.819
as a collection. That's why I called it that because

516
00:22:53.369 --> 00:22:56.579
Even a script series. If you've got people who are completionists,

517
00:22:56.660 --> 00:22:59.339
like I am, I'm someone who if you give me

518
00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:01.220
a series, I want to start at one, you know.

519
00:23:02.470 --> 00:23:04.410
And if you've got, if you're saying to someone, hey,

520
00:23:04.509 --> 00:23:08.660
here's a series, it's 15 audios, it's overwhelming. So like

521
00:23:08.700 --> 00:23:13.079
Star Wars. Yeah, exactly. Right. So yeah, there were several

522
00:23:13.099 --> 00:23:14.980
times along the way where I was kind of having

523
00:23:15.019 --> 00:23:16.720
conversations about whether or not this was going to work.

524
00:23:16.779 --> 00:23:20.240
And then also, I'm very invested in my writing, but

525
00:23:20.259 --> 00:23:22.000
also the people that I write for, I take it

526
00:23:22.059 --> 00:23:25.380
very personally, if there's an audio that doesn't do well

527
00:23:25.420 --> 00:23:27.400
in place, like I feel like I let them down.

528
00:23:28.099 --> 00:23:30.900
And so that was my concern is, is I didn't

529
00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:33.670
want to lead. This was kind of new territory for

530
00:23:33.710 --> 00:23:35.250
all of us. And I didn't want to lead anybody

531
00:23:35.269 --> 00:23:37.569
down a road that they didn't want to be on,

532
00:23:37.589 --> 00:23:39.230
you know, so I didn't want to, get to the

533
00:23:39.309 --> 00:23:40.849
end and be like, um, okay, I'm just going to

534
00:23:40.869 --> 00:23:42.309
leave you here and I'm going to get an Uber,

535
00:23:42.430 --> 00:23:47.849
you know? So where I live, we don't even have Ubers.

536
00:23:47.890 --> 00:23:49.490
So that would be problematic.

537
00:23:49.529 --> 00:23:50.349
That'd be a real stretch.

538
00:23:50.769 --> 00:23:51.450
A real stretch.

539
00:23:51.490 --> 00:23:51.690
Yeah.

540
00:23:52.569 --> 00:23:55.930
So for the band members of sound sessions, so Lark

541
00:23:56.009 --> 00:23:58.539
is a bit known as we know for her punny

542
00:23:58.619 --> 00:24:01.359
or filthy lines. One of the other, was there a

543
00:24:01.420 --> 00:24:03.160
line in your audio that made you kind of stop

544
00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:05.200
and go, am I really about to say this out loud?

545
00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:06.940
That's a good question.

546
00:24:08.019 --> 00:24:09.940
Oh, my God. How to even pick?

547
00:24:13.420 --> 00:24:16.140
I think for the final one, don't look him in

548
00:24:16.180 --> 00:24:17.920
the eye. He's going to take it as a challenge.

549
00:24:21.339 --> 00:24:24.019
I almost didn't say it, but then I was like,

550
00:24:24.039 --> 00:24:26.859
I'm just going to say it. There's something about it.

551
00:24:27.220 --> 00:24:29.140
That's one that I can recall. There's a bunch in

552
00:24:29.160 --> 00:24:30.589
that one, though. It's very funny, I think.

553
00:24:30.900 --> 00:24:33.190
Are you going to explain what they were talking about there, Miles?

554
00:24:33.470 --> 00:24:35.670
What were you not told about that? Well, there was some...

555
00:24:36.410 --> 00:24:39.349
There was some spooning and maybe some sporking.

556
00:24:39.369 --> 00:24:40.730
Some sporking.

557
00:24:41.250 --> 00:24:44.009
Yeah, and then, you know, don't look.

558
00:24:43.950 --> 00:24:44.410
Him in the eye.

559
00:24:44.430 --> 00:24:45.519
Don't look him in the eye.

560
00:24:47.900 --> 00:24:51.279
For me, no, I don't think so. But by the

561
00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:53.119
time I got to that audio.

562
00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:56.289
And to the, you know, what I did in the

563
00:24:56.329 --> 00:24:59.329
finale for the cameo stuff, I was pretty used to

564
00:25:00.029 --> 00:25:01.789
Lark's particular brand of.

565
00:25:02.730 --> 00:25:03.849
Writing and buffoonery.

566
00:25:04.490 --> 00:25:06.450
Buffoonery. I like it.

567
00:25:06.769 --> 00:25:07.609
I say that lovingly.

568
00:25:08.269 --> 00:25:09.690
Of course, yeah.

569
00:25:09.750 --> 00:25:13.390
Because, Locke, you've written for Miles and Atlas before, but

570
00:25:13.750 --> 00:25:15.950
this was your first time with AJ. So, AJ, was

571
00:25:15.970 --> 00:25:17.339
there anything in the script that you were like, what

572
00:25:17.380 --> 00:25:19.539
the fuck is wrong with this writer?

573
00:25:19.619 --> 00:25:19.720
No.

574
00:25:20.920 --> 00:25:23.299
I mean I just I love the kind of self-deprecating

575
00:25:23.380 --> 00:25:25.019
tone in a lot of it I knew the second

576
00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:27.200
I said um especially in the in the sort of

577
00:25:27.220 --> 00:25:30.000
ensemble cast episode hey guys was I a bit too

578
00:25:30.059 --> 00:25:33.140
drummy last night in rehearsal I knew that was immediately

579
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:34.920
going to be like a thing and it was going

580
00:25:34.940 --> 00:25:37.809
to be adopted by the community I mean that that

581
00:25:37.900 --> 00:25:41.190
whole scene is so funny and I actually I laughed

582
00:25:41.349 --> 00:25:45.329
out loud when um you know, in audio is doing

583
00:25:45.349 --> 00:25:47.109
his little piece to the audience after his performance. And

584
00:25:47.130 --> 00:25:49.569
he's like, so it's not a weird van in the

585
00:25:49.650 --> 00:25:52.170
car park. Don't worry. And then it's just like the

586
00:25:52.230 --> 00:25:54.869
sound of a pool ball dropping in the pool table

587
00:25:55.009 --> 00:25:57.529
in the awkward silence. It's just the funniest thing. I

588
00:25:58.349 --> 00:25:59.269
love that so much.

589
00:26:00.529 --> 00:26:02.369
Miles had an amazing, he did an amazing job with

590
00:26:02.390 --> 00:26:04.390
the edit on that. We, I mean, we gave him

591
00:26:04.430 --> 00:26:08.069
a big task and so yeah, the soundscape was amazing.

592
00:26:08.089 --> 00:26:10.910
You did so well. And the conversation was, between them

593
00:26:11.150 --> 00:26:12.789
it just really it sounded like they were really having

594
00:26:12.809 --> 00:26:15.319
a conversation there was no awkward pauses or anything and

595
00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:17.079
yeah you did you did a.

596
00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:19.599
Great job i appreciate that yeah this was a big

597
00:26:19.700 --> 00:26:21.599
uh it was a big learning curve for me this

598
00:26:21.859 --> 00:26:25.059
uh i think both sound sessions for me because open

599
00:26:25.099 --> 00:26:27.519
mic night like i had only learned to really edit

600
00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:29.789
when i started with quinn i've been a voice actor

601
00:26:29.809 --> 00:26:30.910
for a long time but.

602
00:26:30.750 --> 00:26:33.970
Uh anyways like open mic night we.

603
00:26:34.109 --> 00:26:36.730
Recorded the guitar i recorded the guitar and the vocals

604
00:26:36.809 --> 00:26:38.569
i processed it and then i went to my buddy's

605
00:26:38.589 --> 00:26:42.130
house who's a an audio engineer. And then we played

606
00:26:42.150 --> 00:26:44.730
it out of speakers and we re-recorded it out of

607
00:26:44.829 --> 00:26:48.660
a microphone, like whereabouts the listener would be because I

608
00:26:48.700 --> 00:26:51.440
wanted that feel. So I was like, okay, that was tough.

609
00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:53.019
But then you get to the finale and I'm like,

610
00:26:53.099 --> 00:26:58.380
holy fuck, I've never edited like, you know, multiple VAs.

611
00:26:58.440 --> 00:27:00.000
Plus like the whole, you know, it was the toughest

612
00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:02.609
part that I really, this was my like mountain to

613
00:27:02.619 --> 00:27:06.069
climb was the audio section. You have the listeners sitting

614
00:27:06.089 --> 00:27:09.019
in the crowd and he's on stage. And you have

615
00:27:09.299 --> 00:27:14.180
the song dancing on my own. And I had to

616
00:27:14.240 --> 00:27:18.619
really learn a lot about reverb and EQ to be

617
00:27:18.660 --> 00:27:20.329
able to make it sound like muffled.

618
00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:22.589
But it's coming from the stage. It gets louder. Then

619
00:27:22.630 --> 00:27:23.470
he has to speak.

620
00:27:24.269 --> 00:27:26.609
And it's the same audio take as what he's doing

621
00:27:26.630 --> 00:27:28.990
when he's right next to you. So then balancing that

622
00:27:29.049 --> 00:27:31.170
EQ and that reverb and then him coming over.

623
00:27:31.190 --> 00:27:31.269
Yeah.

624
00:27:31.839 --> 00:27:36.420
That took me like four hours, but I learned so much. Yeah,

625
00:27:36.509 --> 00:27:38.130
and then the conversation.

626
00:27:38.250 --> 00:27:40.730
Yeah, I'm pretty proud about that because like the way

627
00:27:40.849 --> 00:27:43.309
I try to approach editing in general is I come

628
00:27:43.349 --> 00:27:46.170
from film, right? So I've edited film and I always

629
00:27:46.250 --> 00:27:49.690
want to just make it sound conversational and people usually

630
00:27:49.730 --> 00:27:53.480
cut each other off. People aren't really waiting. In a sense,

631
00:27:53.539 --> 00:27:56.700
I think AE, as I'm discovering it, is more like

632
00:27:56.759 --> 00:28:00.779
real life than film because you're actually– it's, it's interactive.

633
00:28:00.859 --> 00:28:03.460
So I think it's even more realistic and there's opportunities

634
00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:03.960
to do that.

635
00:28:04.500 --> 00:28:05.279
So that was really cool.

636
00:28:05.519 --> 00:28:09.000
Yeah. And I also mentioned in that conversational part, um,

637
00:28:09.359 --> 00:28:11.779
the old men getting, you know, greeting each other.

638
00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:13.079
It's so funny.

639
00:28:13.319 --> 00:28:16.220
Yeah. But I did not write that. That was their improv.

640
00:28:16.279 --> 00:28:17.779
That was Atlas.

641
00:28:17.819 --> 00:28:18.079
Yeah.

642
00:28:18.180 --> 00:28:21.940
Atlas sent me the smile. And Atlas did, he did

643
00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:23.529
the lines, but then he did that. And I'm like,

644
00:28:23.549 --> 00:28:25.170
there's no way I'm leaving this.

645
00:28:25.130 --> 00:28:28.299
On the cutting board. I'm going to join him.

646
00:28:28.789 --> 00:28:30.710
Thank you for that affirmation. Cause I was like, I

647
00:28:30.789 --> 00:28:31.869
don't remember reading this.

648
00:28:32.349 --> 00:28:33.650
It's just me being an asshole.

649
00:28:33.690 --> 00:28:37.279
Sorry. No, it was, well, I mean, it's amazing, right?

650
00:28:37.430 --> 00:28:39.640
I mean, I think listeners love you two separately, but

651
00:28:39.660 --> 00:28:41.500
they love you together as well. Not what I meant.

652
00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:43.980
Do you know what I mean? So like having you

653
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:46.779
two have that little moment was really, it was really fun. So,

654
00:28:47.220 --> 00:28:49.150
but I, yeah, the first time I listened to it,

655
00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:51.779
I was like, I thought maybe they were my lines,

656
00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:53.660
but you were just saying them in those voices. And

657
00:28:53.680 --> 00:28:56.660
I was like, I don't, I don't know what this is.

658
00:28:56.680 --> 00:28:58.200
I was really.

659
00:28:57.920 --> 00:28:59.460
Confused, but yeah, it was wonderful.

660
00:28:59.559 --> 00:28:59.900
It was great.

661
00:28:59.920 --> 00:29:02.690
They were like the Muppets, like Statler and Waldorf. That's

662
00:29:02.710 --> 00:29:04.029
who they were.

663
00:29:04.089 --> 00:29:05.150
Oh my God.

664
00:29:05.170 --> 00:29:06.349
You never know.

665
00:29:07.049 --> 00:29:09.230
When something funny is going to happen on this show.

666
00:29:09.250 --> 00:29:10.769
Did something funny happen?

667
00:29:10.829 --> 00:29:11.170
Yeah.

668
00:29:11.410 --> 00:29:12.589
You'd never know it.

669
00:29:14.230 --> 00:29:16.819
When you guys were all backstage talking about, The joking

670
00:29:16.839 --> 00:29:19.220
about taco socks and just all just all the way

671
00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:21.559
everybody was communicating together. It was just such a fun

672
00:29:21.599 --> 00:29:23.460
moment and just like really got everybody into it. I

673
00:29:23.500 --> 00:29:24.680
feel like it was so good.

674
00:29:25.140 --> 00:29:25.859
All the different lords.

675
00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:26.079
Yes.

676
00:29:26.220 --> 00:29:28.400
Speaking of taco socks, we are missing Lux.

677
00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:29.980
Yes.

678
00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:31.740
He wasn't able to make it, but he is a

679
00:29:31.769 --> 00:29:32.460
band member as well.

680
00:29:32.789 --> 00:29:33.109
Yeah.

681
00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:36.089
And he did leave us a little voice note. So

682
00:29:36.690 --> 00:29:37.589
take it away, Lux.

683
00:29:38.309 --> 00:29:39.269
Hey, this is Lux here.

684
00:29:40.140 --> 00:29:44.220
So about the Sound Sessions series written by Lark, I

685
00:29:44.299 --> 00:29:48.200
was really excited about being part of this because I've

686
00:29:48.589 --> 00:29:51.369
always been looking for excuses to play more guitar for

687
00:29:51.430 --> 00:29:54.910
you on Quinn. Although sometimes I feel like it could

688
00:29:55.609 --> 00:29:59.269
feel kind of gimmicky to just you know play music

689
00:29:59.329 --> 00:30:01.619
because it's like i don't know it's an attractive thing

690
00:30:01.819 --> 00:30:05.200
in an audio um i i felt that the scripts

691
00:30:05.279 --> 00:30:10.339
were treated with such depth and just with care i

692
00:30:10.380 --> 00:30:13.289
think that's what i really really enjoyed about this and

693
00:30:13.349 --> 00:30:17.730
even though the series is composed of many different scripts

694
00:30:17.970 --> 00:30:22.309
and audios and voice actors they all feel different and

695
00:30:22.609 --> 00:30:26.180
i felt like they each have personality. It didn't feel

696
00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:29.240
like it was the same, the same script, but just

697
00:30:29.289 --> 00:30:32.170
like kind of written a little bit different. They actually

698
00:30:32.250 --> 00:30:35.589
did really feel like standalone audios. And so I was

699
00:30:35.630 --> 00:30:37.869
really just excited to be part of it and to,

700
00:30:38.190 --> 00:30:39.670
you know, find an excuse to play.

701
00:30:39.529 --> 00:30:40.230
Guitar for you all.

702
00:30:40.490 --> 00:30:43.730
I thought that the idea of having music be the

703
00:30:43.769 --> 00:30:47.569
thing that connected them all together was really great. And

704
00:30:48.069 --> 00:30:52.009
at the very end, having the opportunity to record an

705
00:30:52.230 --> 00:30:58.069
actual song with all of the other voice actors, all

706
00:30:58.089 --> 00:31:01.410
the other talent, was really sort of, I want to

707
00:31:01.430 --> 00:31:08.579
say daunting. Because I respect all of their talents and

708
00:31:09.519 --> 00:31:13.519
even the sound engineer in the background, putting all these

709
00:31:13.559 --> 00:31:16.440
things together and doing the editing. I was just like,

710
00:31:16.460 --> 00:31:18.390
oh my God, like, I don't know if my piece

711
00:31:18.450 --> 00:31:20.609
is good enough, you know? And I struggled a little

712
00:31:20.630 --> 00:31:24.109
bit because I'm used to playing music with other musicians live.

713
00:31:24.750 --> 00:31:28.569
So putting on the headphones and listening while also trying

714
00:31:28.589 --> 00:31:29.789
to record at the same time was.

715
00:31:29.710 --> 00:31:32.170
Something new for me. But I think in the end,

716
00:31:32.289 --> 00:31:33.839
I hope I haven't heard it yet.

717
00:31:34.130 --> 00:31:35.839
I really hope I did a good job, that I

718
00:31:35.880 --> 00:31:39.079
did it justice and that it sounds great. And who knows,

719
00:31:39.299 --> 00:31:44.910
having sort of this virtual band virtual bandmates, that's kind

720
00:31:44.930 --> 00:31:47.930
of cool. I would be down to do another project

721
00:31:47.970 --> 00:31:54.049
like that. I've definitely put into practice a different side

722
00:31:54.089 --> 00:31:56.930
of my brain, a different side of creativity, a different

723
00:31:56.970 --> 00:32:00.190
side of recording and editing and all of that. So

724
00:32:00.210 --> 00:32:02.160
I just want to say thank you to Lark for

725
00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:04.680
including me in this project. And it's been an honor

726
00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:06.599
to be part of it with all of the other

727
00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:07.319
wonderful talent.

728
00:32:07.460 --> 00:32:09.019
And I hope you enjoyed it. Lux out.

729
00:32:09.700 --> 00:32:10.400
Oh, bless him.

730
00:32:10.519 --> 00:32:13.240
Thanks, Lux. Wasn't there somebody else that was missing too?

731
00:32:13.480 --> 00:32:13.819
I don't know.

732
00:32:13.859 --> 00:32:15.920
I guess Nadia just blew us off.

733
00:32:17.569 --> 00:32:18.329
Damn it.

734
00:32:18.470 --> 00:32:19.329
Rude.

735
00:32:19.670 --> 00:32:20.829
Hi, Nadia.

736
00:32:20.910 --> 00:32:24.009
I'm going to edit this to say that it's the

737
00:32:24.049 --> 00:32:24.890
opposite way around.

738
00:32:24.910 --> 00:32:25.869
I didn't need him.

739
00:32:26.779 --> 00:32:30.500
But going back to when you're talking about all the

740
00:32:30.539 --> 00:32:33.299
soundscapes stuff, and it's so important to you guys now

741
00:32:33.579 --> 00:32:37.059
as creators in that space. I went back, listening to

742
00:32:37.079 --> 00:32:39.980
the finale, I went back and listened to a couple

743
00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:43.839
of audios from, I think it was 2022. The difference,

744
00:32:44.619 --> 00:32:50.180
I think there was a door shutting and the clonk, clonk, clonk, clonk,

745
00:32:50.529 --> 00:32:52.890
going across a set of floorboards, you know, when it

746
00:32:52.910 --> 00:32:56.369
was supposed to be grass. You know, it was very, very...

747
00:32:56.950 --> 00:33:01.289
you know, basic, etc. How important is it for you

748
00:33:01.450 --> 00:33:05.410
all to have a script like Lark provided, have music

749
00:33:05.490 --> 00:33:08.549
like Eliza provided and be able to match that not

750
00:33:08.609 --> 00:33:10.839
only with your voice, but with what comes along with that?

751
00:33:11.130 --> 00:33:13.160
How important is that now for you?

752
00:33:13.480 --> 00:33:16.119
I personally absolutely love all that stuff. It's like one

753
00:33:16.140 --> 00:33:17.880
of my favourite things to do when it comes to

754
00:33:17.920 --> 00:33:20.359
creating audio erotica. And like maybe I'm guilty of hiding

755
00:33:20.380 --> 00:33:22.019
behind it a little bit because I've been doing audio

756
00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:23.599
for 20 years and I'm sort of using it as

757
00:33:23.619 --> 00:33:25.000
a bit of a crutch. I got to say, it

758
00:33:25.019 --> 00:33:26.829
was just so wonderful to him. I was talking about

759
00:33:26.849 --> 00:33:29.970
the edit and about that process of positioning the listener

760
00:33:29.990 --> 00:33:32.210
in the room and how the sound changes as their,

761
00:33:33.009 --> 00:33:35.230
their perspective changes through the room and what that means

762
00:33:35.289 --> 00:33:38.349
for the audio. And I don't really know if there's

763
00:33:38.529 --> 00:33:41.059
an art form that's evolving this quickly. It's incredible that

764
00:33:41.079 --> 00:33:43.720
you say that like none of that existed in 2022 really.

765
00:33:43.740 --> 00:33:47.339
And people weren't doing stuff as, as, uh, involved in

766
00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:50.269
that way. Um, what an honor it is to be

767
00:33:50.289 --> 00:33:52.210
able to do this work and try these things out.

768
00:33:52.349 --> 00:33:54.630
And when you get a script that calls for that

769
00:33:54.690 --> 00:33:57.279
kind of thing, I'll be honest, my first response is,

770
00:33:57.960 --> 00:34:03.140
oh shit, I've got loads of work to do. I'm like,

771
00:34:03.180 --> 00:34:05.900
can this not just be like, you know, room tone

772
00:34:06.059 --> 00:34:08.239
in bed, maybe a little bit of duvet rustling.

773
00:34:08.260 --> 00:34:10.469
Those are nice, aren't they?

774
00:34:10.510 --> 00:34:11.989
Nice little breakout, I guess.

775
00:34:12.010 --> 00:34:14.710
You know, if it's taking place in sort of multiple

776
00:34:14.769 --> 00:34:16.889
rooms or, you know, the listener's position in the room

777
00:34:16.949 --> 00:34:19.190
changes or, stuff like that, you think, oh no, how

778
00:34:19.329 --> 00:34:20.769
am I going to pull this off? But it's such

779
00:34:20.789 --> 00:34:23.840
an opportunity to do something so extraordinary and wonderful when

780
00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:26.039
you do pull it off and you can listen to

781
00:34:26.059 --> 00:34:28.519
it and think, oh, I can really get the listeners

782
00:34:28.539 --> 00:34:31.099
to inhabit this person and this character and really experience

783
00:34:31.159 --> 00:34:34.019
it in three dimensions with the audio. And it's so

784
00:34:34.039 --> 00:34:36.320
much fun, I think, to put that stuff together.

785
00:34:36.340 --> 00:34:37.980
Yeah, man, big agree.

786
00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:41.820
I kind of stumbled into audio erotica because I wanted

787
00:34:41.900 --> 00:34:44.820
to tell stories, right? So I got into this to

788
00:34:45.340 --> 00:34:48.019
act and And I don't think I have, I know

789
00:34:48.039 --> 00:34:50.019
some people have the like, not.

790
00:34:49.880 --> 00:34:52.920
Give a fuck ability. And I don't feel like I

791
00:34:52.940 --> 00:34:53.360
have that.

792
00:34:53.619 --> 00:34:56.579
So even though it is, you know, it's not like we're,

793
00:34:56.880 --> 00:34:59.639
you know, making these like massive productions that are going

794
00:34:59.659 --> 00:35:02.739
to be on TV or radio or whatever. I still

795
00:35:02.989 --> 00:35:05.050
go in whole horse, you know, like you're saying, like

796
00:35:05.070 --> 00:35:06.849
I want to, I want to dig into the details.

797
00:35:07.090 --> 00:35:08.929
I'm not really doing that so much now because I've

798
00:35:10.130 --> 00:35:11.469
hit a wall on time.

799
00:35:11.869 --> 00:35:13.469
But when I was doing a lot of my own

800
00:35:13.510 --> 00:35:15.639
editing before, I.

801
00:35:15.219 --> 00:35:18.800
Was guilty of probably spending entirely too much time on

802
00:35:18.900 --> 00:35:22.579
it and getting like really down into the tiny details,

803
00:35:22.619 --> 00:35:26.119
you know, like momentary, you know, minor creaking of car

804
00:35:26.179 --> 00:35:29.739
seats and like little rustling just for like conversational movement,

805
00:35:29.820 --> 00:35:31.980
like because people talk with their hands and all that

806
00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:32.539
kind of stuff.

807
00:35:32.599 --> 00:35:34.260
But yeah, it's fun.

808
00:35:34.280 --> 00:35:37.179
I feel like all those tiny, tiny details that maybe

809
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:40.760
don't from the outside look or sound super important when

810
00:35:40.780 --> 00:35:43.039
you're describing it, when you're actually listening to a piece

811
00:35:43.079 --> 00:35:45.659
that has all that. it just gives it that much

812
00:35:45.739 --> 00:35:48.789
more realistic feeling.

813
00:35:48.809 --> 00:35:53.289
It's incredibly different to what Smudge was saying when I

814
00:35:53.309 --> 00:35:55.079
think about the early days of me listening to Quinn

815
00:35:55.099 --> 00:35:59.340
and there was very little soundscapes at all. But it's

816
00:35:59.360 --> 00:36:01.159
all I knew and it was fine. But now listening

817
00:36:01.199 --> 00:36:05.269
to them, it is a completely different experience of like

818
00:36:05.309 --> 00:36:08.230
the immersiveness. And it was good then. But hearing it now,

819
00:36:08.289 --> 00:36:10.289
it's yeah, it's amazing what you all do with the

820
00:36:10.309 --> 00:36:10.849
sound stuff.

821
00:36:10.949 --> 00:36:13.469
And like kind of just piggybacking what Kazza said, I

822
00:36:13.510 --> 00:36:16.389
joined in 2023 and I remember there weren't even kissing scenes.

823
00:36:17.099 --> 00:36:18.420
sound effects on a lot of audio.

824
00:36:18.480 --> 00:36:18.880
Really?

825
00:36:19.340 --> 00:36:22.440
Oh, yeah. I remember being like, this is so immersive.

826
00:36:22.500 --> 00:36:25.300
Little did I fucking know.

827
00:36:25.440 --> 00:36:27.570
And then to the point where, first of all, it's

828
00:36:27.610 --> 00:36:30.730
amazing when you hear the script come to life in general.

829
00:36:31.250 --> 00:36:33.929
But then to listen to AJ's, for example, and AJ,

830
00:36:33.949 --> 00:36:36.510
I was listening to it and you could hear the

831
00:36:36.610 --> 00:36:41.670
drum stool squeak, but you could hear the difference between

832
00:36:41.730 --> 00:36:44.590
that noise and the noise when the listener sat on

833
00:36:44.630 --> 00:36:47.650
your lap. It was a different, you could hear, you

834
00:36:47.670 --> 00:36:49.239
could hear. It's like, I don't even know how to

835
00:36:49.260 --> 00:36:51.800
explain it. You knew that there was extra weight on

836
00:36:51.820 --> 00:36:53.960
the stool when squeaking. And I was like, that is

837
00:36:54.039 --> 00:36:56.699
insane to me. That was just, it was the coolest touch.

838
00:36:56.860 --> 00:36:58.039
I'm so glad you noticed that.

839
00:36:58.590 --> 00:37:01.989
I was going to be a little bit embarrassed if

840
00:37:02.010 --> 00:37:05.690
you're like, no, I didn't do that. That wasn't a thing.

841
00:37:06.409 --> 00:37:06.989
No, that's perfect.

842
00:37:07.010 --> 00:37:08.369
Wait, I'm going to be a nerd for a second.

843
00:37:08.429 --> 00:37:10.800
So in the film industry, something like that would be

844
00:37:10.820 --> 00:37:13.519
called bumping the lamp, which is something you go above

845
00:37:13.559 --> 00:37:16.579
and beyond to do, knowing that not everyone's going to

846
00:37:16.619 --> 00:37:18.420
notice it. But you're like, I'm going to do this

847
00:37:18.460 --> 00:37:20.300
to it, like do this the best that I can.

848
00:37:20.739 --> 00:37:22.679
And then it turns out like one or two people notice.

849
00:37:22.739 --> 00:37:24.909
And so like even your response, you're like, you fucking

850
00:37:24.949 --> 00:37:25.670
noticed that.

851
00:37:25.929 --> 00:37:27.309
Yeah.

852
00:37:27.369 --> 00:37:30.670
Those one or two people are really excited.

853
00:37:30.690 --> 00:37:33.530
Well, especially someone who is, you know, I do a

854
00:37:33.550 --> 00:37:36.119
lot of research for my audios and that's not what

855
00:37:36.159 --> 00:37:38.090
I mean. I do like, you know, I was, I

856
00:37:38.130 --> 00:37:38.869
was looking at, I'm.

857
00:37:39.170 --> 00:37:41.530
Like, okay, I gotta make sure.

858
00:37:42.530 --> 00:37:45.510
The scenario for a little offbeat AJ's audio was, you know,

859
00:37:45.750 --> 00:37:47.530
you're doing it at the drum kit. Right. But I

860
00:37:47.550 --> 00:37:51.110
was like, I was examining pictures and the distance between

861
00:37:51.510 --> 00:37:53.389
like the drummer and the drum kit. I'm like, okay,

862
00:37:53.409 --> 00:37:55.130
well he's going to have to pull the stool back.

863
00:37:55.429 --> 00:37:57.570
And then I'm like, okay, but do the stools rotate?

864
00:37:57.590 --> 00:37:59.409
So I was looking at, you know, all of this

865
00:37:59.469 --> 00:38:02.530
information online and like, you know, the drum thrown and

866
00:38:02.869 --> 00:38:03.409
all this stuff.

867
00:38:03.469 --> 00:38:03.659
Right.

868
00:38:03.699 --> 00:38:06.079
So I think it's probably that I'm, I was, doing

869
00:38:06.099 --> 00:38:09.380
my research. And then when I heard it, I was like, yes, absolutely.

870
00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:11.239
And then I, even when I sent the script to AJ,

871
00:38:11.260 --> 00:38:15.429
I'm like embarrassed because I'm just, you know, cobbling together

872
00:38:15.489 --> 00:38:17.789
my little, you know, whatever music knowledge I have is,

873
00:38:17.949 --> 00:38:21.190
is basic. It's not, it's not to their level. Right.

874
00:38:21.230 --> 00:38:23.110
So I'm just like, I think I said a disclaimer

875
00:38:23.150 --> 00:38:26.590
in the email, like, I'm sorry if, if this is

876
00:38:26.670 --> 00:38:29.519
not at all right, please feel free to change this up.

877
00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:31.980
And at one point where you're kind of talking about the,

878
00:38:32.159 --> 00:38:33.619
I think it was like you were describing what you

879
00:38:33.679 --> 00:38:36.699
did in the arrangement. Yeah, I was like, could you

880
00:38:36.719 --> 00:38:40.380
just improv something there if you could just, you know,

881
00:38:40.400 --> 00:38:41.699
make it sound drummy for us.

882
00:38:43.079 --> 00:38:43.940
Not too drummy.

883
00:38:44.039 --> 00:38:44.880
Not too drummy.

884
00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:45.599
Not too drummy.

885
00:38:46.800 --> 00:38:48.800
I'm going to actually ask a technical question and I

886
00:38:48.840 --> 00:38:51.119
don't normally do this. So this is like probably a

887
00:38:51.159 --> 00:38:54.480
quincast first. But when you were talking about the editing

888
00:38:54.519 --> 00:38:57.739
process and some of you get edits, editing done by

889
00:38:57.780 --> 00:39:00.510
other people, when you're doing something of this scale with

890
00:39:00.590 --> 00:39:04.530
multiple audios, multiple soundscapes for, you know, music from Eliza.

891
00:39:04.610 --> 00:39:07.250
And I think was it Sarah also did production.

892
00:39:07.269 --> 00:39:07.510
Yeah.

893
00:39:07.650 --> 00:39:08.130
Sarah Walk.

894
00:39:08.550 --> 00:39:11.929
So there's lots of people involved with this. How do

895
00:39:11.949 --> 00:39:14.570
you know that with all the different editing styles and

896
00:39:14.630 --> 00:39:17.760
skills and everything and all the different audio styles from

897
00:39:17.780 --> 00:39:20.940
the creators and the singing styles and the producers, how

898
00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:23.699
does it all come together to make it sound like

899
00:39:23.760 --> 00:39:27.130
it's one piece but split into different stories rather than

900
00:39:27.349 --> 00:39:28.610
just so many different stories?

901
00:39:28.650 --> 00:39:29.369
How does that work?

902
00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:31.920
I mean i could throw my my opinion into that

903
00:39:32.019 --> 00:39:33.960
is i think what holds it all together is lark

904
00:39:34.579 --> 00:39:37.469
you know and lark has you know has her has

905
00:39:37.510 --> 00:39:41.010
her voice there's an anthological component to this which i

906
00:39:41.050 --> 00:39:44.550
think is a benefit we've discussed the benefits already it

907
00:39:44.590 --> 00:39:47.449
means that a you can acquire more audios as you

908
00:39:47.469 --> 00:39:50.269
keep going And the numbers are good because people don't

909
00:39:50.289 --> 00:39:51.650
feel like they have to go from the beginning. But

910
00:39:51.710 --> 00:39:55.590
at the same time, it's anthological, but it's all rooted

911
00:39:55.630 --> 00:39:58.340
in Lark's work and Lark's voice. And then it's a

912
00:39:58.400 --> 00:40:01.800
marriage between that and the VAs, I guess, and the editors.

913
00:40:02.239 --> 00:40:04.840
So I think that's a major component that keeps it

914
00:40:04.880 --> 00:40:05.280
all together.

915
00:40:05.579 --> 00:40:09.019
I try to give direction in the script itself in

916
00:40:09.039 --> 00:40:11.030
terms of sound effects. And I mean, some of them

917
00:40:11.070 --> 00:40:13.969
are a little bit nuts when I'm trying to describe

918
00:40:14.010 --> 00:40:17.099
what sound effect I'm going for. But, you know, at

919
00:40:17.139 --> 00:40:21.320
least for, I mean, for Atlas and Miles, I've worked together.

920
00:40:21.820 --> 00:40:23.599
We work together enough that they kind of know what

921
00:40:23.619 --> 00:40:26.239
I'm getting at. I'm probably a little bit too involved.

922
00:40:26.260 --> 00:40:30.880
You guys are probably like, could you just, we got it.

923
00:40:30.949 --> 00:40:31.650
We got it from here.

924
00:40:31.789 --> 00:40:34.309
Oh, no. I don't feel that way at all.

925
00:40:34.349 --> 00:40:34.690
Not at all.

926
00:40:34.889 --> 00:40:36.409
Yeah. Okay, good. Okay, that's good.

927
00:40:36.769 --> 00:40:38.429
No, I was going to, I mean, to throw my

928
00:40:38.449 --> 00:40:41.989
two cents in, I think part of, like, Pulling together

929
00:40:42.130 --> 00:40:45.349
something like this from so many different creators and having

930
00:40:45.429 --> 00:40:49.949
it feel like it was successfully done, I think is

931
00:40:49.969 --> 00:40:52.590
working with people that you trust or like that you

932
00:40:52.610 --> 00:40:56.090
trust their work. And I think Lark is exceptional at that,

933
00:40:56.289 --> 00:40:59.550
like finding the right person for doing what she's trying

934
00:40:59.570 --> 00:40:59.750
to do.

935
00:41:00.139 --> 00:41:03.019
So she knew straight away that your favorite line was

936
00:41:03.039 --> 00:41:04.239
going to be, you're just going to rip my dick

937
00:41:04.300 --> 00:41:07.320
until the creativity starts flowing, which is, I think, one

938
00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:08.300
of my favorite lines.

939
00:41:08.400 --> 00:41:09.269
I forgot about that one.

940
00:41:09.440 --> 00:41:10.300
It's a good line.

941
00:41:10.380 --> 00:41:10.900
It's so good.

942
00:41:13.539 --> 00:41:14.000
And you know what?

943
00:41:14.039 --> 00:41:16.429
I think it's granted that the audios are going to

944
00:41:16.469 --> 00:41:20.070
sound all different in their editing, right? Even two audios

945
00:41:20.110 --> 00:41:22.090
that I make, I have my tent poles in my

946
00:41:22.150 --> 00:41:24.170
editing process, but some of them might have a different

947
00:41:24.210 --> 00:41:27.210
room tone. I think that's understood, that they're never going

948
00:41:27.230 --> 00:41:30.429
to sound completely cohesive if you're working with, you know,

949
00:41:30.690 --> 00:41:31.889
X amount of VAs, right?

950
00:41:31.909 --> 00:41:35.329
Who all, or as you put smudge, X amount of editors, right?

951
00:41:35.690 --> 00:41:36.230
So many, so.

952
00:41:36.170 --> 00:41:39.199
Many cooks in this, but nobody spoiled the broth because

953
00:41:39.280 --> 00:41:41.320
when all of a sudden these were all separate and

954
00:41:41.539 --> 00:41:44.539
everybody came together in the finale, it felt like it

955
00:41:44.599 --> 00:41:46.980
all matched, married together.

956
00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:48.519
Yeah.

957
00:41:48.559 --> 00:41:50.760
It was like you had all been in it. Like

958
00:41:50.800 --> 00:41:53.010
I would love to hear about that process of like

959
00:41:53.570 --> 00:41:56.969
this final song, the big finale song, how with people

960
00:41:56.989 --> 00:41:59.909
all over the world, Did you sound like you were

961
00:41:59.929 --> 00:42:02.369
just a band performing together? Like, how did it all

962
00:42:02.409 --> 00:42:06.110
come together? Who coordinated that? Who did what? What the

963
00:42:06.170 --> 00:42:06.630
hell happened?

964
00:42:06.969 --> 00:42:10.489
Yeah. So, I mean, I was the nuisance in everybody's inbox.

965
00:42:11.650 --> 00:42:16.230
So that was me. Sorry. Sorry, AJ. The other two

966
00:42:16.269 --> 00:42:17.949
had me in their DM. So you're just lucky it

967
00:42:17.989 --> 00:42:18.949
was just in your inbox.

968
00:42:18.969 --> 00:42:19.090
Yeah.

969
00:42:20.949 --> 00:42:24.280
But yeah, I mean, essentially working with Eliza. And so

970
00:42:24.400 --> 00:42:27.639
we hired Sarah to do the, like, because that one

971
00:42:27.679 --> 00:42:31.079
was a special case. I mean, I wasn't going to

972
00:42:31.099 --> 00:42:33.500
put that on Miles to be like, hey, on top

973
00:42:33.579 --> 00:42:35.530
of all this other stuff, can you figure out how to,

974
00:42:35.579 --> 00:42:37.159
you know, just put a song together? No big deal.

975
00:42:37.300 --> 00:42:37.989
Yeah.

976
00:42:38.030 --> 00:42:40.190
So I'd written the original song and then kind of

977
00:42:40.210 --> 00:42:41.789
sent it out to these guys just so they kind.

978
00:42:41.690 --> 00:42:43.570
Of knew it was coming their way. And then I

979
00:42:45.489 --> 00:42:46.789
went into the studio with Sarah.

980
00:42:46.809 --> 00:42:49.429
We spent like two hours just kind of figuring out

981
00:42:50.139 --> 00:42:52.309
the full song because I was like there should be

982
00:42:52.329 --> 00:42:55.949
an intro and maybe like a little a little interlude

983
00:42:55.989 --> 00:42:57.730
and then an outro and what does that sound like

984
00:42:57.789 --> 00:43:00.989
so we played with that laid down a piano track

985
00:43:01.010 --> 00:43:02.690
and then I put a scratch vocal on it just

986
00:43:02.710 --> 00:43:05.070
so these guys could hear what it might sound like

987
00:43:05.300 --> 00:43:08.039
and then send it out to everyone and then one

988
00:43:08.099 --> 00:43:11.619
by one each person kind of laid down their instrument

989
00:43:11.719 --> 00:43:14.269
track And then once we got it back, I would

990
00:43:14.550 --> 00:43:16.710
just lay it on top of that track. We'd send

991
00:43:16.750 --> 00:43:18.570
it to the next person, so on and so forth

992
00:43:18.690 --> 00:43:21.719
until we got all of them. And then Sarah worked

993
00:43:21.760 --> 00:43:26.619
her production producer magic and made it all cohesive and

994
00:43:26.639 --> 00:43:28.030
sound great and put it together.

995
00:43:29.539 --> 00:43:30.239
Now we have a song.

996
00:43:30.519 --> 00:43:33.300
It was like two weeks, I think.

997
00:43:33.340 --> 00:43:34.639
Three weeks, maybe, that this got made?

998
00:43:34.659 --> 00:43:37.460
It was pretty fast, yeah. I think we laid it down.

999
00:43:37.480 --> 00:43:39.559
It was like a week would go by and we'd

1000
00:43:39.579 --> 00:43:41.260
get a track, and then another week would go by

1001
00:43:41.280 --> 00:43:42.840
and we'd get a track. And so by the end

1002
00:43:42.880 --> 00:43:45.429
of three weeks, we got the full thing together.

1003
00:43:45.469 --> 00:43:47.869
And AJ, I think you were between travel. There was

1004
00:43:47.889 --> 00:43:49.889
like a short window where you managed to get your

1005
00:43:49.969 --> 00:43:52.489
stuff to us. We really appreciated that. Yeah, man.

1006
00:43:52.510 --> 00:43:53.949
It was so good.

1007
00:43:53.949 --> 00:43:57.670
48 hours I think probably and then.

1008
00:43:57.590 --> 00:44:01.449
We're like hey and I had the audacity to be

1009
00:44:01.469 --> 00:44:04.230
like AJ actually could you do it again make it

1010
00:44:04.250 --> 00:44:07.269
a little faster you know so rude make it more

1011
00:44:07.289 --> 00:44:08.840
drummy this time yeah make it.

1012
00:44:08.820 --> 00:44:11.639
A little more drummy I was feeling self-conscious I was

1013
00:44:11.659 --> 00:44:16.460
like it's I don't want it to be too drummy so.

1014
00:44:15.579 --> 00:44:17.659
Um I do I do want to say though um

1015
00:44:17.699 --> 00:44:20.360
just when you're asking about kind of the cohesiveness about

1016
00:44:20.710 --> 00:44:22.929
of the collection, I have to say a huge part

1017
00:44:22.949 --> 00:44:26.550
of that was Betty and her artwork. Oh my God.

1018
00:44:26.610 --> 00:44:26.889
Yeah.

1019
00:44:26.929 --> 00:44:30.679
Betty is phenomenal. So look her up. She's what Betty

1020
00:44:30.699 --> 00:44:32.300
made on Instagram.

1021
00:44:32.800 --> 00:44:33.219
Yeah.

1022
00:44:33.239 --> 00:44:35.000
She's our sponsor, whatbettymade.com.

1023
00:44:35.119 --> 00:44:40.980
Oh my gosh. Yeah. So she's, she's phenomenal. And it

1024
00:44:41.019 --> 00:44:42.920
was just wonderful working with her. She, we did, or

1025
00:44:42.940 --> 00:44:46.389
she did an original piece for every, every script. So

1026
00:44:46.530 --> 00:44:49.079
everyone has an original piece. I'm going to call it

1027
00:44:49.099 --> 00:44:52.130
a poster essentially is what it is. And, and I

1028
00:44:52.170 --> 00:44:54.769
just kind of told her the basics of what, you know,

1029
00:44:55.070 --> 00:44:57.010
what the stories were about and I let her run

1030
00:44:57.070 --> 00:44:59.429
and do her thing. And she created a unique piece

1031
00:44:59.469 --> 00:45:02.760
every time. If we knew the VA's likeness, oh my gosh,

1032
00:45:02.780 --> 00:45:08.079
with AJ, Betty's worked with AJ before. So she like

1033
00:45:08.320 --> 00:45:12.340
down to the detail of your tattoos, your piercings, like

1034
00:45:12.420 --> 00:45:15.820
everything was just, It was just perfect. The hair flip.

1035
00:45:15.900 --> 00:45:18.239
It was perfect.

1036
00:45:18.760 --> 00:45:20.929
I'm not wearing it right now. I have a signet

1037
00:45:20.969 --> 00:45:23.590
ring and I wear it the same direction every single

1038
00:45:23.630 --> 00:45:25.969
time I wear it with the two slices on one

1039
00:45:26.010 --> 00:45:27.769
side and the one slice on the other. She even

1040
00:45:27.789 --> 00:45:29.510
got the orientation of the ring correct.

1041
00:45:29.710 --> 00:45:30.269
It's crazy.

1042
00:45:30.550 --> 00:45:31.630
Oh my God.

1043
00:45:31.829 --> 00:45:33.800
It's so deep.

1044
00:45:33.860 --> 00:45:35.019
I mean, this might be a bit of a spoiler,

1045
00:45:35.059 --> 00:45:38.260
but I think we're going to have perhaps a sticker set.

1046
00:45:40.070 --> 00:45:44.829
Oh yeah there's gotta be yeah I mean it's the

1047
00:45:44.869 --> 00:45:47.010
artwork is just too beautiful I mean it's you know

1048
00:45:47.050 --> 00:45:49.969
it's not just your your basic promo everything is just

1049
00:45:50.070 --> 00:45:51.000
phenomenal so.

1050
00:45:50.840 --> 00:45:52.639
Well I think that's what it is I think the

1051
00:45:52.679 --> 00:45:54.989
artwork added an additional layer to all the layers you

1052
00:45:55.010 --> 00:45:57.780
already had it wasn't just and hey I love all

1053
00:45:58.599 --> 00:46:01.320
promos everyone does but this was just something different you

1054
00:46:01.360 --> 00:46:03.719
know it was just I usually like oh what are

1055
00:46:03.739 --> 00:46:05.579
they saying in this audio it's a you know a

1056
00:46:05.599 --> 00:46:08.130
nice little voice note a little A little intrigue. But

1057
00:46:08.150 --> 00:46:10.530
to see the artwork there, like, tailored to every audio.

1058
00:46:11.349 --> 00:46:13.389
Eliza, I just wanted to just retract a little bit back,

1059
00:46:13.409 --> 00:46:14.889
because I'm not sure if we covered it or not.

1060
00:46:14.949 --> 00:46:17.670
Is this your first time doing anything like this within

1061
00:46:17.690 --> 00:46:18.510
this kind of space?

1062
00:46:19.590 --> 00:46:21.119
Like music in Audio Erotica?

1063
00:46:21.360 --> 00:46:21.579
Yeah.

1064
00:46:22.460 --> 00:46:25.079
Yeah, yeah. This series was the first.

1065
00:46:25.199 --> 00:46:27.320
What I will say is I wrote a script, like,

1066
00:46:27.400 --> 00:46:29.619
two years ago that I wrote an original song for

1067
00:46:29.639 --> 00:46:30.840
that just didn't come out.

1068
00:46:31.480 --> 00:46:35.179
It probably will later. Oh, yay! Yeah, but, I mean,

1069
00:46:35.230 --> 00:46:35.769
it's definitely.

1070
00:46:36.300 --> 00:46:38.780
It's something that makes a lot of sense to me,

1071
00:46:39.119 --> 00:46:43.340
like music meeting audio erotica, because they're both obviously audio mediums.

1072
00:46:43.480 --> 00:46:48.389
And music has such unique opportunities for storytelling, as does

1073
00:46:48.829 --> 00:46:53.550
audio erotica. And I really like the marrying of those

1074
00:46:53.590 --> 00:46:57.909
two things. But this series was obviously a behemoth.

1075
00:46:57.469 --> 00:47:02.019
And something I hadn't done before. Also, like, I can

1076
00:47:02.059 --> 00:47:03.880
write songs. I don't know that I'm a songwriter.

1077
00:47:03.900 --> 00:47:03.980
Yeah.

1078
00:47:05.670 --> 00:47:09.010
So that was a little anxiety-inducing for me, and it

1079
00:47:09.030 --> 00:47:10.829
felt like a lot to take on as well because

1080
00:47:12.110 --> 00:47:15.449
it's a lot to write three songs for three different voices.

1081
00:47:15.550 --> 00:47:18.719
But I had a great time with it and had

1082
00:47:18.739 --> 00:47:19.139
a lot of fun.

1083
00:47:19.179 --> 00:47:24.300
And music is my background. I trained as a vocalist

1084
00:47:24.400 --> 00:47:29.079
for decades, and it's not something I do anymore. And

1085
00:47:29.139 --> 00:47:32.059
so the beautiful gift of being a part of this

1086
00:47:32.119 --> 00:47:35.599
series has been getting to play in music again and

1087
00:47:35.940 --> 00:47:39.130
so grateful to Lark for that because it's just been

1088
00:47:39.369 --> 00:47:42.230
so so so much fun and so rewarding as well.

1089
00:47:42.010 --> 00:47:45.030
Yeah that was something when we finished up I was

1090
00:47:45.070 --> 00:47:49.449
like I'm gonna miss getting song song voice notes singing

1091
00:47:49.489 --> 00:47:52.179
voice notes from you so I'm just gonna I told

1092
00:47:52.219 --> 00:47:54.039
her I was gonna ask for a song for every

1093
00:47:54.099 --> 00:47:58.420
occasion birthday Christmas whatever just send me just send me something.

1094
00:47:58.219 --> 00:48:02.219
Yeah your eliza your voice is absolutely gorgeous and i

1095
00:48:02.239 --> 00:48:04.460
remember when we got the uh when if you know

1096
00:48:04.480 --> 00:48:06.920
when we got the scratch tat the scratch track uh

1097
00:48:06.960 --> 00:48:08.960
along with the whole band i think i don't know

1098
00:48:09.019 --> 00:48:10.360
larry if i told you this but i was like

1099
00:48:10.980 --> 00:48:13.179
yeah why don't we just have the listener be singing

1100
00:48:13.320 --> 00:48:16.010
and we can just keep eliza's voice because i'm not

1101
00:48:16.030 --> 00:48:18.670
gonna top this we don't need that.

1102
00:48:18.250 --> 00:48:20.929
You actually said that and like in your um when

1103
00:48:20.949 --> 00:48:22.550
you sent off your vocals like your.

1104
00:48:22.369 --> 00:48:24.269
Oh right yeah you.

1105
00:48:24.030 --> 00:48:26.789
Said that it was We were listening to it together,

1106
00:48:26.829 --> 00:48:28.449
I think, and you were just like, why am I

1107
00:48:28.510 --> 00:48:28.909
doing this?

1108
00:48:30.250 --> 00:48:31.150
Here's the B version.

1109
00:48:32.190 --> 00:48:33.449
No, no, no.

1110
00:48:33.489 --> 00:48:35.070
Fantastic, fantastic voice.

1111
00:48:35.269 --> 00:48:38.230
Also, it's like the song was written for you and

1112
00:48:38.349 --> 00:48:39.989
you embodied it beautifully.

1113
00:48:40.010 --> 00:48:43.909
Yeah, and I'm just here playing.

1114
00:48:45.579 --> 00:48:46.800
Just doing anything.

1115
00:48:46.840 --> 00:48:50.400
I love that.

1116
00:48:50.480 --> 00:48:53.539
Miles and Atlas, were you nervous at all about kind

1117
00:48:53.559 --> 00:48:55.309
of putting your voice out.

1118
00:48:55.250 --> 00:48:57.510
There just i personally wasn't really i just see it

1119
00:48:57.590 --> 00:49:00.309
as an extension of performance and after you know 20

1120
00:49:00.309 --> 00:49:02.449
years of doing it i'm yeah i think it's fun

1121
00:49:02.469 --> 00:49:04.760
there's always a bit of nerves when you're doing something

1122
00:49:04.780 --> 00:49:05.760
new but i've learned.

1123
00:49:05.579 --> 00:49:07.659
To really love the nerves for me they're an.

1124
00:49:07.659 --> 00:49:09.820
Essential part of that and i think if you stop

1125
00:49:09.940 --> 00:49:12.800
getting nervous about your work i'm nervous about every audio

1126
00:49:12.929 --> 00:49:14.369
you know and i think it just means we care

1127
00:49:14.750 --> 00:49:17.389
if we are But, you know, there are different nerves

1128
00:49:17.409 --> 00:49:19.320
than it was the first time walking on stage at, like,

1129
00:49:19.539 --> 00:49:20.480
you know, 15.

1130
00:49:20.480 --> 00:49:21.719
Those are different nerves.

1131
00:49:23.179 --> 00:49:23.559
So, no.

1132
00:49:24.019 --> 00:49:26.880
What a great outlook, man. What a great outlook. Yeah,

1133
00:49:26.900 --> 00:49:30.179
for me, yes, I was nervous. Yeah.

1134
00:49:30.639 --> 00:49:33.739
Yeah, but I think that was because there was so

1135
00:49:33.780 --> 00:49:36.849
much buildup to me finally putting out an audio that

1136
00:49:36.909 --> 00:49:40.730
I sung in. because it was around the same time

1137
00:49:41.389 --> 00:49:43.429
last year that, that Lark reached out to me and

1138
00:49:43.449 --> 00:49:44.210
said like, Hey.

1139
00:49:44.230 --> 00:49:48.059
Can you sing based on a nothing.

1140
00:49:49.920 --> 00:49:52.159
That a lot of other people started, you know, like

1141
00:49:52.599 --> 00:49:54.719
kind of digging into the lore and finding out that

1142
00:49:54.739 --> 00:49:57.420
I'm a musician and I don't have anything.

1143
00:49:57.159 --> 00:49:58.420
That I can show anybody.

1144
00:49:58.480 --> 00:50:00.760
So there was a lot of like people asking for

1145
00:50:01.840 --> 00:50:04.059
playing guitar and singing and all this for like a

1146
00:50:04.119 --> 00:50:07.119
long time before I actually put any of that out.

1147
00:50:08.320 --> 00:50:11.880
So there was a level of, is there too much

1148
00:50:11.920 --> 00:50:13.159
hype for this and I'm going to put it out

1149
00:50:13.179 --> 00:50:14.780
and everyone's going to be very underwhelmed.

1150
00:50:17.159 --> 00:50:18.980
So I, so I have to know, AJ, if you

1151
00:50:19.019 --> 00:50:22.590
were working with somebody like a, like in your script

1152
00:50:22.750 --> 00:50:26.989
in a little off beat and the kind of client

1153
00:50:27.030 --> 00:50:29.280
was behaving that way, like how would you, how would

1154
00:50:29.300 --> 00:50:30.719
you put them in their place? Like not in the

1155
00:50:30.760 --> 00:50:31.579
way that you did in the script.

1156
00:50:31.599 --> 00:50:31.900
Of course.

1157
00:50:32.900 --> 00:50:36.119
I have sex with them, obviously.

1158
00:50:36.559 --> 00:50:39.260
I knew it. See, that's what I knew. I knew it.

1159
00:50:40.719 --> 00:50:42.880
But you must have dealt with people like that, like

1160
00:50:42.940 --> 00:50:45.059
just who like think that they know what they're talking about,

1161
00:50:45.079 --> 00:50:45.699
but they don't.

1162
00:50:46.280 --> 00:50:46.780
Yeah.

1163
00:50:46.880 --> 00:50:48.980
Well, it's 99% of the job of running a studio

1164
00:50:49.000 --> 00:50:52.539
in some way is precisely that. I just would normally

1165
00:50:52.579 --> 00:50:55.539
keep my mouth shut. Probably there comes a point where

1166
00:50:56.139 --> 00:50:58.530
the optimism of thinking you can rescue a session is

1167
00:50:59.380 --> 00:51:02.119
disappears completely so like the first 15 of it you'll

1168
00:51:02.139 --> 00:51:03.780
be like okay i'm gonna try and steer this into

1169
00:51:03.800 --> 00:51:05.159
a direction that i think is actually going to work

1170
00:51:05.199 --> 00:51:07.400
and something i might put on my show reel right

1171
00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:10.380
when this is over with yeah and then if they

1172
00:51:10.460 --> 00:51:13.250
if they really really it's just unsavable you go okay

1173
00:51:13.489 --> 00:51:15.409
my job now is to get them happy get them

1174
00:51:15.429 --> 00:51:17.429
out the door and then just pretend today never happened

1175
00:51:17.570 --> 00:51:20.210
so i would i wouldn't ever have like a conflict

1176
00:51:21.130 --> 00:51:24.030
or yeah um or try and resolve it by seducing

1177
00:51:24.090 --> 00:51:26.530
them or brat taming them put it that way but

1178
00:51:26.889 --> 00:51:29.880
uh it did feel at what I loved about this script,

1179
00:51:30.019 --> 00:51:32.199
it was, it felt really lived in and the same

1180
00:51:32.260 --> 00:51:34.380
goes for the, for the sort of open mic and

1181
00:51:34.679 --> 00:51:37.389
like the, the sort of dinginess of the music venue

1182
00:51:37.449 --> 00:51:38.969
as well. I sort of really felt listening to it.

1183
00:51:38.969 --> 00:51:40.429
Like I was in that space and it was so

1184
00:51:40.570 --> 00:51:42.989
faithful to the world. And I think that's why I

1185
00:51:42.989 --> 00:51:44.849
love being a part of it because it's like, this

1186
00:51:44.909 --> 00:51:47.420
is a world that I love and don't spend much

1187
00:51:47.460 --> 00:51:50.570
time in anymore. So it was really nice to inhabit that,

1188
00:51:50.730 --> 00:51:53.269
but kind of in like a bizarro world sort of way.

1189
00:51:53.630 --> 00:51:55.469
So much credit to Lark for the research. I know

1190
00:51:55.489 --> 00:51:57.699
you said that you apologized for how you like wasn't

1191
00:51:57.780 --> 00:52:00.340
researched well enough for the stuff that was in the script.

1192
00:52:00.380 --> 00:52:02.719
I promise you it was. It was so spot on.

1193
00:52:03.199 --> 00:52:03.659
It was great.

1194
00:52:03.840 --> 00:52:04.500
I loved it.

1195
00:52:05.000 --> 00:52:06.099
Wow, that's amazing. Thank you.

1196
00:52:06.119 --> 00:52:09.780
Was the finale always planned? Always going to be a

1197
00:52:09.940 --> 00:52:12.840
all come together? Excuse my pun.

1198
00:52:13.969 --> 00:52:14.409
No.

1199
00:52:14.429 --> 00:52:14.989
Or was it not?

1200
00:52:15.190 --> 00:52:16.329
Missed opportunity, Lark.

1201
00:52:16.929 --> 00:52:18.289
Well, I mean, totally.

1202
00:52:18.309 --> 00:52:25.000
Yeah. Definitely premeditated, right? I mean, at some point, I mean,

1203
00:52:25.019 --> 00:52:27.599
I won't say early on because again, we didn't know

1204
00:52:27.639 --> 00:52:29.539
it was going to get to 15, but at some

1205
00:52:29.579 --> 00:52:32.239
point in there, I talked to miles about, I just

1206
00:52:32.280 --> 00:52:35.539
love the idea of, of it coming back to him

1207
00:52:36.159 --> 00:52:37.940
because he was the first, but he was also like,

1208
00:52:38.389 --> 00:52:40.489
and he's always super humble about it saying he didn't

1209
00:52:40.510 --> 00:52:43.750
do anything, but he was my like hype man throughout

1210
00:52:43.769 --> 00:52:45.190
all of this. And again, if I go to him

1211
00:52:45.230 --> 00:52:47.929
with this, a crazy idea, And I wanted someone to

1212
00:52:47.949 --> 00:52:49.690
tell me it wasn't crazy. I would go to him.

1213
00:52:49.710 --> 00:52:53.030
I was just trying to get you out of my inbox.

1214
00:52:53.250 --> 00:52:54.210
Yeah, pretty much.

1215
00:52:56.190 --> 00:52:57.789
So I knew I wanted to end with that. And

1216
00:52:57.809 --> 00:53:00.530
I liked the idea of, you know, what started as

1217
00:53:00.550 --> 00:53:03.289
Strangers to Lovers and, you know, this little meet cute

1218
00:53:04.090 --> 00:53:06.869
kind of turning into something, especially because we had Brokenhearted

1219
00:53:06.909 --> 00:53:11.489
Miles in the first one, right? Oh, bless him. Yeah.

1220
00:53:14.110 --> 00:53:15.550
yeah i just i don't know i just really it

1221
00:53:15.679 --> 00:53:18.610
just made sense i think and then you know at

1222
00:53:18.710 --> 00:53:21.909
one point um we talked about maybe just having lux

1223
00:53:21.989 --> 00:53:24.750
there as as kind of just like a little three

1224
00:53:24.789 --> 00:53:26.730
piece um with the listener.

1225
00:53:26.510 --> 00:53:30.409
Yeah the conversations we had leading up to the decision

1226
00:53:30.469 --> 00:53:32.670
to make it a band i think were really interesting

1227
00:53:32.730 --> 00:53:34.769
because there were a lot of different angles we were

1228
00:53:34.789 --> 00:53:36.320
looking at and it was it's a lot to put

1229
00:53:36.360 --> 00:53:38.880
together so But when, you know, I don't know if

1230
00:53:38.900 --> 00:53:40.179
you want to speak on that at all, but it

1231
00:53:40.239 --> 00:53:42.019
was there was a lot of brainstorming, I thought.

1232
00:53:42.679 --> 00:53:43.099
Yeah.

1233
00:53:43.320 --> 00:53:44.179
To get it to where it is now.

1234
00:53:44.579 --> 00:53:47.869
And even though poor AJ doesn't even know he was

1235
00:53:47.909 --> 00:53:51.369
a victim the whole time. But before we had even

1236
00:53:51.429 --> 00:53:54.690
connected on your individual scripts, Miles and I had started

1237
00:53:54.730 --> 00:53:57.610
talking about the finale. And when we started talking about

1238
00:53:57.630 --> 00:53:59.210
the possibility of a band, and I think this was

1239
00:53:59.869 --> 00:54:03.340
maybe even pre conversations with you, Eliza. But we were saying,

1240
00:54:03.400 --> 00:54:04.719
you know, if we did it, if we're going to

1241
00:54:04.739 --> 00:54:06.860
do Lux, and then I mentioned maybe reaching out to

1242
00:54:06.900 --> 00:54:08.969
someone to do bass, and then Miles was like, well,

1243
00:54:08.989 --> 00:54:10.449
if we're going to do that, we need a drummer.

1244
00:54:10.469 --> 00:54:16.429
And I was like, okay, so what about AJ? He's

1245
00:54:16.469 --> 00:54:20.329
a drummer. So, yeah, I was always going to annoy

1246
00:54:20.349 --> 00:54:24.570
AJ to get that part, if possible, anyway. So, yeah, so,

1247
00:54:24.590 --> 00:54:25.969
I mean, it kind of evolved, and then we went

1248
00:54:26.010 --> 00:54:27.650
back and forth. At one point, like, we had talked

1249
00:54:27.690 --> 00:54:29.469
about the band thing, and then Miles and I, I

1250
00:54:29.489 --> 00:54:32.070
think we were both feeling like it was just a lot. Mm-hmm.

1251
00:54:32.389 --> 00:54:34.280
especially with everything else going on. And so we were

1252
00:54:34.300 --> 00:54:36.320
just going to dial it back to just him and Lux.

1253
00:54:36.400 --> 00:54:39.119
And then, and then when talking to Eliza and then

1254
00:54:39.179 --> 00:54:41.440
she was like, Oh, it's too bad we couldn't do

1255
00:54:41.460 --> 00:54:43.079
it as a band. And I'm like, okay, but you

1256
00:54:43.099 --> 00:54:45.760
said band too. You said, you said band, right? Cause

1257
00:54:46.300 --> 00:54:47.820
we were thinking band too. And then it was just

1258
00:54:47.840 --> 00:54:48.920
kind of like, are we doing this?

1259
00:54:49.079 --> 00:54:50.679
And fully enabled each other.

1260
00:54:50.699 --> 00:54:50.780
Yeah.

1261
00:54:52.280 --> 00:54:54.929
I'm so happy you did. Cause I, it worked out

1262
00:54:54.969 --> 00:54:56.730
so well. I'm so happy we went for it.

1263
00:54:57.150 --> 00:54:57.409
You know?

1264
00:54:57.489 --> 00:54:57.750
Yeah.

1265
00:54:57.929 --> 00:55:02.219
I think that like, it's such an Epic series. And

1266
00:55:02.579 --> 00:55:06.980
it deserved an epic finale. And like, how are you

1267
00:55:07.000 --> 00:55:08.920
going to do that outside of making it just like

1268
00:55:08.960 --> 00:55:09.880
some big production?

1269
00:55:10.199 --> 00:55:11.599
It just, yeah, felt right.

1270
00:55:11.860 --> 00:55:12.679
Yeah, absolutely.

1271
00:55:12.699 --> 00:55:14.900
And just in case anybody doesn't know how many people

1272
00:55:14.940 --> 00:55:18.280
were involved with this, other than obviously the editors and,

1273
00:55:18.739 --> 00:55:23.420
you know, Eliza and Sarah, etc., It was Miles, Lux, AJ, Peaches,

1274
00:55:23.539 --> 00:55:29.489
Hydrated Baritone, Timmy, Rum, Bad Fantasy, Adrian, Alice, Adam Craves, Atlas, Dolph,

1275
00:55:29.670 --> 00:55:34.070
Lost Tapes, Orpheus, and a cameo from Nordeo. When you

1276
00:55:34.130 --> 00:55:37.130
started that, did you go, oh my God, you know, yeah.

1277
00:55:37.889 --> 00:55:39.639
And by the way, let's just go for it, shall we?

1278
00:55:39.690 --> 00:55:40.750
And get a cameo from Nordeo.

1279
00:55:40.869 --> 00:55:41.170
Shall we?

1280
00:55:41.289 --> 00:55:43.889
Shall we? My mantra over the last couple of years

1281
00:55:43.929 --> 00:55:46.530
has just been ask for what you want in life, essentially, right?

1282
00:55:46.570 --> 00:55:50.119
And it sounds super cheesy, but... I think too often

1283
00:55:50.199 --> 00:55:53.079
people start with plan B assuming that plan A isn't

1284
00:55:53.099 --> 00:55:56.889
going to work. And you just don't know unless you ask.

1285
00:55:57.090 --> 00:56:00.630
And so it started out as a joke that, you know,

1286
00:56:00.670 --> 00:56:02.170
I'm going to, I'm going to try it. I'm going

1287
00:56:02.190 --> 00:56:04.750
to reach out to Nadia and, and everyone's just kind

1288
00:56:04.769 --> 00:56:08.090
of like, yeah. And I knew it was a 0.01%

1289
00:56:08.090 --> 00:56:10.039
chance I was going to get anywhere with that. Right.

1290
00:56:10.099 --> 00:56:12.300
But I was like, you know, really admire him as

1291
00:56:12.340 --> 00:56:16.280
a performer. He's phenomenal. He's very much untouchable. There's no,

1292
00:56:16.340 --> 00:56:18.019
you know, there's no online presence, anything like that.

1293
00:56:18.059 --> 00:56:18.219
Right.

1294
00:56:18.260 --> 00:56:21.840
So it's, it would be a big feat. And I,

1295
00:56:22.639 --> 00:56:26.730
I don't know how, maybe he took pity and saw, oh,

1296
00:56:26.869 --> 00:56:29.269
poor girl's doing 15 of them. Let's just, I'm not

1297
00:56:29.289 --> 00:56:34.030
really sure. But yeah, I mean, you just, you got

1298
00:56:34.070 --> 00:56:35.840
to ask the questions, you know, and it was that

1299
00:56:35.860 --> 00:56:37.880
way with, with a number of people reaching out and

1300
00:56:37.920 --> 00:56:39.579
knowing how much everybody's got on their plate.

1301
00:56:39.639 --> 00:56:42.699
And also like, I think something else important to mention

1302
00:56:42.760 --> 00:56:46.039
is like Lark commits 100%. Like if she's going to

1303
00:56:46.059 --> 00:56:49.530
try for something, it's not half-assed. It is, I think

1304
00:56:49.570 --> 00:56:52.570
it's because she's so like her passion is so clear.

1305
00:56:53.250 --> 00:56:55.230
But then, you know, you'd already won the lottery because

1306
00:56:55.250 --> 00:56:56.590
you'd got Miles Atlas and AJ.

1307
00:56:56.650 --> 00:56:58.650
So, I mean, you were really pushing it.

1308
00:56:58.969 --> 00:57:00.610
I will tell you. OK, so I found out on

1309
00:57:00.650 --> 00:57:04.409
the same day about AJ and Nadia. And this is

1310
00:57:04.449 --> 00:57:07.739
no shade to Nadia, but like genuinely AJ, because you

1311
00:57:07.760 --> 00:57:10.760
were kind of like my foray into this whole world.

1312
00:57:10.780 --> 00:57:11.320
I guess.

1313
00:57:11.420 --> 00:57:13.340
So I was like, this was that was that was

1314
00:57:13.380 --> 00:57:16.130
the full circle moment for me. um, I met a

1315
00:57:16.170 --> 00:57:18.730
lot of my friends through, through your community and that's

1316
00:57:18.750 --> 00:57:20.250
kind of how I got into this space and stuff.

1317
00:57:20.269 --> 00:57:23.619
And so once I had AJ on board, I was like, okay,

1318
00:57:23.760 --> 00:57:25.239
this is cool. I've got, you know, all the people

1319
00:57:25.260 --> 00:57:27.380
that I shouldn't say that's going to sound offensive to

1320
00:57:27.400 --> 00:57:29.860
people who are involved, but I mean like my, my favorite,

1321
00:57:30.000 --> 00:57:32.400
my favorite people to work with and my favorite creators

1322
00:57:32.420 --> 00:57:34.480
and everything were, were all involved. And I was like, okay,

1323
00:57:34.519 --> 00:57:37.179
this is complete. And then Nadia was like the icing

1324
00:57:37.219 --> 00:57:37.889
on the cake, you know?

1325
00:57:38.030 --> 00:57:41.579
So, um, So you found out Nadia and AJ were

1326
00:57:41.619 --> 00:57:42.719
both yeses on the same day?

1327
00:57:42.739 --> 00:57:44.340
On the same day, yeah.

1328
00:57:44.900 --> 00:57:46.820
Did you just lay in bed for a second and

1329
00:57:46.840 --> 00:57:47.599
just take it off?

1330
00:57:47.610 --> 00:57:49.889
Well, I mean, I didn't leave the house because I

1331
00:57:49.929 --> 00:57:53.150
was like, something's going to happen. Something's got to balance

1332
00:57:53.170 --> 00:57:53.570
this out.

1333
00:57:55.690 --> 00:57:58.150
Flipping it in full reverse that's how's luck reaction how

1334
00:57:58.210 --> 00:58:02.110
do you react as a creator when you get asked

1335
00:58:02.150 --> 00:58:05.750
to be part of something this size like this big

1336
00:58:05.969 --> 00:58:08.909
amalgamation of lots of different creators at the same time

1337
00:58:08.989 --> 00:58:11.690
is it like i have been chosen.

1338
00:58:13.070 --> 00:58:13.510
Or is it.

1339
00:58:13.610 --> 00:58:15.829
Fuck fuck more work.

1340
00:58:16.550 --> 00:58:19.710
Um well okay how can i answer this i was

1341
00:58:20.130 --> 00:58:23.280
reclining on a waterbed in a spa in berlin today

1342
00:58:23.969 --> 00:58:32.230
um I was once again reading Bernie Collins's book, How

1343
00:58:32.250 --> 00:58:34.469
to Win a Grand Prix. She's an amazing F1 strategist

1344
00:58:34.489 --> 00:58:37.090
and analyst. And she's talking about the immense undertaking, which

1345
00:58:37.219 --> 00:58:39.519
is putting an F1 car on the grid and how

1346
00:58:39.559 --> 00:58:42.099
it involves getting hundreds, if not thousands of people all

1347
00:58:42.179 --> 00:58:43.940
to work on the same task and get the job

1348
00:58:43.980 --> 00:58:46.219
done and achieve the unachievable and get this thing done.

1349
00:58:47.320 --> 00:58:49.760
And I was sitting there reading that book and I

1350
00:58:49.860 --> 00:58:52.539
had the thought reclined on this waterbed. These people really

1351
00:58:52.579 --> 00:58:57.480
should reach out to Lark because the undertaking of organising

1352
00:58:57.519 --> 00:59:01.710
this thing, I just like wrangling one Queen V.A. is

1353
00:59:02.130 --> 00:59:04.309
an unenviable task. Just ask my moderators.

1354
00:59:05.650 --> 00:59:08.130
Sorry, what was that?

1355
00:59:08.550 --> 00:59:12.019
Wrangling more than. a dozen into a job like this is.

1356
00:59:15.500 --> 00:59:15.940
It must be.

1357
00:59:16.119 --> 00:59:19.260
Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's a challenge, obviously. You have,

1358
00:59:19.500 --> 00:59:21.239
I mean, everybody's got so much on their plates. A

1359
00:59:21.260 --> 00:59:24.159
lot of people are doing, you know, narrating books as well.

1360
00:59:24.179 --> 00:59:25.650
Atlas has a bunch of that on his plate. So

1361
00:59:25.670 --> 00:59:27.789
there's just like, there's so, you've got so many people

1362
00:59:27.829 --> 00:59:30.469
in so many different locations. doing so many things so

1363
00:59:30.510 --> 00:59:32.369
yeah it's it's definitely a challenge.

1364
00:59:32.230 --> 00:59:33.809
I think to answer the original question as well about

1365
00:59:33.869 --> 00:59:36.190
how a VA reacts from receiving a pitch like this

1366
00:59:36.250 --> 00:59:38.449
like full credit to Lark on the pitch too because

1367
00:59:38.550 --> 00:59:40.360
that genuinely you can react to it one of two

1368
00:59:40.389 --> 00:59:41.900
ways you can look at it and go oh my

1369
00:59:41.940 --> 00:59:44.280
god this just sounds like a nightmare I don't want

1370
00:59:44.300 --> 00:59:46.699
to be anywhere near this or you can actually receive

1371
00:59:46.739 --> 00:59:48.420
a pitch that makes you think oh I'm in the

1372
00:59:48.460 --> 00:59:51.719
hands of a professional they've thought of everything everything's laid

1373
00:59:51.780 --> 00:59:53.940
out so neatly for you here's the timetable here's the

1374
00:59:53.960 --> 00:59:56.429
materials and like Of course you're going to say yes

1375
00:59:56.449 --> 00:59:58.090
to a pitch like that because it just makes sense

1376
00:59:58.150 --> 01:00:00.610
to be involved with something as cool as this. I

1377
01:00:00.780 --> 01:00:02.429
didn't doubt for a second that it was going to

1378
01:00:02.449 --> 01:00:04.480
be a huge success, just purely based on the way

1379
01:00:04.500 --> 01:00:05.820
it was communicated from the very beginning.

1380
01:00:06.539 --> 01:00:06.980
Thank you.

1381
01:00:07.179 --> 01:00:09.800
I couldn't agree more with that take on it, for sure.

1382
01:00:10.739 --> 01:00:15.079
It rings volumes when somebody puts together something professionally, succinctly,

1383
01:00:15.500 --> 01:00:17.420
and takes the time to do things the right way.

1384
01:00:17.860 --> 01:00:19.920
It really speaks volumes.

1385
01:00:20.940 --> 01:00:21.519
Good. Are you.

1386
01:00:22.150 --> 01:00:24.610
exhausted and glad that it's over or are you kind

1387
01:00:24.650 --> 01:00:26.699
of bummed and ready for round two?

1388
01:00:26.719 --> 01:00:30.440
Yeah, I would say like, it's hard because it's like, yeah,

1389
01:00:30.539 --> 01:00:33.030
I felt burnt out. I still kind of, I submitted

1390
01:00:33.090 --> 01:00:36.250
a script actually this week. Actually, Eliza looked at it.

1391
01:00:36.800 --> 01:00:38.610
And I was just, I was just really nervous about it.

1392
01:00:38.719 --> 01:00:40.239
And she's like, this is really good. I don't know

1393
01:00:40.260 --> 01:00:41.619
why you were nervous about it. And I said, because

1394
01:00:41.659 --> 01:00:44.519
I don't feel like myself yet. And so I don't

1395
01:00:44.579 --> 01:00:46.820
feel like I'm myself. I don't feel like I'm at

1396
01:00:46.860 --> 01:00:49.610
the top of my game. And so I can't trust

1397
01:00:49.670 --> 01:00:51.329
that what I'm putting out right now, like I want

1398
01:00:51.389 --> 01:00:56.219
second opinions essentially. And third opinions won't quite go to,

1399
01:00:56.309 --> 01:00:57.650
we haven't gotten to fourth yet, but you never know.

1400
01:00:59.230 --> 01:01:01.809
So it's, yeah, it's just like, it's different when you're,

1401
01:01:03.000 --> 01:01:06.320
just coming up with your own idea. And yeah, I mean,

1402
01:01:06.460 --> 01:01:09.179
anybody that's written here, I'm sure you guys know that

1403
01:01:09.260 --> 01:01:11.960
sometimes you'll be really excited about an idea. And then

1404
01:01:12.000 --> 01:01:13.559
when you sit down to write it two weeks later,

1405
01:01:13.659 --> 01:01:15.920
you're over it, you know? And so you don't have

1406
01:01:15.940 --> 01:01:18.239
that luxury in this situation. Like there's a number of

1407
01:01:18.260 --> 01:01:21.059
times with, with miles. I write with miles quite regularly

1408
01:01:21.079 --> 01:01:23.039
and I'll just, I'll, you know, there was one that

1409
01:01:23.079 --> 01:01:24.360
we were talking about for months that I was going

1410
01:01:24.380 --> 01:01:25.539
to do when I sat down to write it. I

1411
01:01:25.559 --> 01:01:31.849
was like, can we not? I just wasn't feeling it anymore. Yeah.

1412
01:01:31.969 --> 01:01:33.730
And then, you know what? And I put that one

1413
01:01:33.769 --> 01:01:35.650
aside and then I came up with arm candy, which

1414
01:01:35.710 --> 01:01:38.469
is one of our more popular ones. And so it just,

1415
01:01:39.190 --> 01:01:42.110
you write when you're inspired, what you're inspired. And so

1416
01:01:42.380 --> 01:01:45.780
with sound sessions, having already committed to ideas in advance,

1417
01:01:45.800 --> 01:01:47.940
you don't really have as much luxury because you've got,

1418
01:01:48.280 --> 01:01:50.500
there are other people involved. There's other moving pieces. There's

1419
01:01:50.539 --> 01:01:53.039
Betty involved. That's already working on the artwork. And so

1420
01:01:53.539 --> 01:01:57.159
there's some limitations there that kind of, um, yeah kind

1421
01:01:57.179 --> 01:01:59.940
of made you feel a little bit I don't know

1422
01:01:59.960 --> 01:02:02.360
I don't want to say trapped that's that's a horrible

1423
01:02:02.409 --> 01:02:03.860
word but you know what I mean you're kind of

1424
01:02:03.949 --> 01:02:06.789
limited I guess so committed but at the same time

1425
01:02:06.849 --> 01:02:09.869
it's you know it's it's it's emotional to wrap up

1426
01:02:09.909 --> 01:02:11.389
and then it's like okay well this is a huge

1427
01:02:11.449 --> 01:02:13.090
series I never want to do a series this big

1428
01:02:13.130 --> 01:02:15.010
again so then it's like you have to think about

1429
01:02:15.250 --> 01:02:18.530
did I peak you know is this I'm just gonna

1430
01:02:18.570 --> 01:02:21.150
like you know bow out you know big the big

1431
01:02:21.289 --> 01:02:24.079
um novelty cane pulling me off stage or something i'm.

1432
01:02:24.039 --> 01:02:29.159
Not sure eliza would you do it again.

1433
01:02:30.019 --> 01:02:33.820
Totally absolutely like wait so like write music for a

1434
01:02:33.840 --> 01:02:38.920
series yeah yeah 100 it's so much fun and again

1435
01:02:38.980 --> 01:02:41.699
it's like a it's a creative muscle that i don't

1436
01:02:41.719 --> 01:02:45.360
get to exercise exercise very often and so the opportunity

1437
01:02:45.380 --> 01:02:48.440
to do it especially again within this medium i think

1438
01:02:48.480 --> 01:02:51.559
is just so unique and fun and Also, the stakes

1439
01:02:51.619 --> 01:02:53.320
are kind of low because it's really just a verse

1440
01:02:53.340 --> 01:02:55.909
and a chorus, which to me feels more doable than

1441
01:02:55.929 --> 01:02:58.260
like a full song. Like if you asked me to

1442
01:02:58.280 --> 01:03:03.150
write three full songs, I'd probably be like, I'm so sorry.

1443
01:03:03.409 --> 01:03:05.449
But I can do three mini ones.

1444
01:03:05.530 --> 01:03:06.130
No problem.

1445
01:03:06.510 --> 01:03:08.369
So I'm curious with your involvement. So this is for

1446
01:03:08.409 --> 01:03:10.130
AJ Miles and Atlas and AJ, you can go first

1447
01:03:10.150 --> 01:03:12.809
because of the time commitment. With your involvement in this project,

1448
01:03:12.849 --> 01:03:16.769
was there anything through your audio in the sound sessions

1449
01:03:16.829 --> 01:03:19.750
that spark to create like any kind of creative spark

1450
01:03:19.789 --> 01:03:22.840
for your own audios and your own work um anything

1451
01:03:22.909 --> 01:03:25.000
new that was introduced or stuff you've.

1452
01:03:24.880 --> 01:03:27.079
Done have you started using throat code is what she

1453
01:03:27.099 --> 01:03:27.780
wants to know.

1454
01:03:29.000 --> 01:03:29.920
I didn't want to say it.

1455
01:03:32.659 --> 01:03:38.179
That line oh my god when i read that i

1456
01:03:38.219 --> 01:03:40.760
was like can i say that i don't know i

1457
01:03:41.360 --> 01:03:43.659
and i just had a run at it and sure enough.

1458
01:03:44.579 --> 01:03:47.260
You can and it's my next tattoo.

1459
01:03:49.760 --> 01:03:52.380
But I mean, truly on that topic, like this is

1460
01:03:52.420 --> 01:03:54.719
the joy of working with scriptwriters because, you know, obviously

1461
01:03:54.739 --> 01:03:57.380
I write most of my own stuff, but like having

1462
01:03:57.400 --> 01:03:59.079
the opportunity to work with people who are writing for

1463
01:03:59.119 --> 01:04:02.000
you and doing things like they will objectively, you know,

1464
01:04:02.039 --> 01:04:04.579
I thought with that specific line go, well, actually I

1465
01:04:04.619 --> 01:04:08.880
can imagine AJ saying that line. And that's something that

1466
01:04:08.940 --> 01:04:10.780
I would never choose to do for myself because I

1467
01:04:10.800 --> 01:04:13.510
don't have the objectivity. I just like, I can't do that.

1468
01:04:14.280 --> 01:04:17.829
And so I always feel like it makes me more

1469
01:04:17.889 --> 01:04:20.610
open minded and better at my job to take on

1470
01:04:20.650 --> 01:04:22.889
the perspective of other writers like that. And it's just

1471
01:04:22.969 --> 01:04:24.510
like it's just such an honor to be written for

1472
01:04:24.550 --> 01:04:26.320
in that way. I just think it's so cool to

1473
01:04:26.340 --> 01:04:29.380
be to be seen and to be like understood and

1474
01:04:29.500 --> 01:04:33.760
to be like cared for in that kind of creative

1475
01:04:33.800 --> 01:04:35.059
way so that you can just sort of do your

1476
01:04:35.099 --> 01:04:37.239
job and then you're sort of elevated by somebody else's

1477
01:04:37.300 --> 01:04:39.110
work in that way. It's just it's so much fun

1478
01:04:39.179 --> 01:04:42.340
to do it. I wish I could afford to do

1479
01:04:42.360 --> 01:04:46.289
it every week.

1480
01:04:46.969 --> 01:04:48.949
That's great. Well, thank you, AJ. I know you got

1481
01:04:48.969 --> 01:04:50.929
to run, so we want to be mindful of that.

1482
01:04:50.949 --> 01:04:51.909
Appreciate your time.

1483
01:04:51.929 --> 01:04:53.429
Thank you so much for joining us while you could.

1484
01:04:53.449 --> 01:04:55.550
Thank you for everything. Bye, AJ.

1485
01:04:55.949 --> 01:04:57.309
This has been so awesome.

1486
01:04:57.349 --> 01:04:58.949
I wish I could stay and enjoy the rest of

1487
01:04:58.969 --> 01:05:00.590
your conversation and just love to all of you. This

1488
01:05:00.610 --> 01:05:01.429
has been fantastic.

1489
01:05:01.820 --> 01:05:02.739
Thank you so much. Bye, AJ.

1490
01:05:02.739 --> 01:05:03.079
Take care.

1491
01:05:03.159 --> 01:05:03.460
Thanks.

1492
01:05:03.559 --> 01:05:03.980
Bye.

1493
01:05:04.239 --> 01:05:05.760
Bye.

1494
01:05:06.659 --> 01:05:08.519
So Miles and Atlas, for you, was there anything that

1495
01:05:09.130 --> 01:05:12.550
any kind of new creative spark that was, um, created

1496
01:05:12.570 --> 01:05:12.900
from this.

1497
01:05:13.880 --> 01:05:15.820
Speaking of throat coat, there is a bit at the

1498
01:05:15.880 --> 01:05:16.380
end of mine.

1499
01:05:16.940 --> 01:05:22.300
Um, I don't know what you're talking about.

1500
01:05:22.559 --> 01:05:27.289
No, no, no, no, no, of course not. Um, uh,

1501
01:05:27.449 --> 01:05:28.329
I don't know.

1502
01:05:28.349 --> 01:05:34.030
I mean, I don't know that it changed much about

1503
01:05:34.070 --> 01:05:37.250
like the way that I, that I approached creating AE. Um,

1504
01:05:38.809 --> 01:05:41.030
I've been working with other writers for a long time. No,

1505
01:05:41.070 --> 01:05:42.769
AJ was talking about that, that like how much he

1506
01:05:42.809 --> 01:05:44.670
loves that. And I'm very much on the same page

1507
01:05:44.710 --> 01:05:46.550
as him. And that's why I've been working with other

1508
01:05:46.570 --> 01:05:49.860
writers as much as I have beyond, you know, it

1509
01:05:49.940 --> 01:05:51.559
can be tough to find the time to write that much,

1510
01:05:51.639 --> 01:05:56.619
but I also just think there's so much talent, um,

1511
01:05:56.960 --> 01:05:59.699
in this community and in the writing space in particular,

1512
01:05:59.719 --> 01:06:01.480
I think there are so many people who are doing

1513
01:06:01.519 --> 01:06:05.869
it that are just so much better than I am.

1514
01:06:06.269 --> 01:06:08.449
So it is, uh, I mean, it's a, a blessing

1515
01:06:08.929 --> 01:06:11.550
to get to work with, you know, these incredible talents

1516
01:06:11.610 --> 01:06:14.829
like Lark and Eliza and Kate Chase.

1517
01:06:14.949 --> 01:06:16.590
And I could, the list goes on and on.

1518
01:06:17.150 --> 01:06:19.329
I did have to kind of pull out the acoustic

1519
01:06:19.469 --> 01:06:23.789
ahead of this audio and sort of dust off, you know,

1520
01:06:23.809 --> 01:06:25.949
get the cobwebs out of there. I wrote and threw

1521
01:06:26.010 --> 01:06:29.369
away a lot of music before I arrived at what

1522
01:06:29.429 --> 01:06:32.070
felt right, you know, what eventually went into the audio.

1523
01:06:32.280 --> 01:06:34.380
So that, I mean, that was fun to, you know,

1524
01:06:34.500 --> 01:06:35.800
kind of get to roll up the sleeves and get

1525
01:06:35.840 --> 01:06:36.900
back in that space a bit.

1526
01:06:38.230 --> 01:06:41.070
My question is, when will the Sound Sessions album be

1527
01:06:41.110 --> 01:06:42.949
coming out or going on Spotify?

1528
01:06:42.969 --> 01:06:47.019
I would say that's the question we get the most.

1529
01:06:47.219 --> 01:06:48.679
Yeah, is it?

1530
01:06:48.760 --> 01:06:50.480
Really? Answer it. Come on.

1531
01:06:50.539 --> 01:06:52.420
I'm going to leave it to Lark.

1532
01:06:54.170 --> 01:06:56.820
Well, and Eliza, hearing that you're willing to do music,

1533
01:06:57.039 --> 01:06:58.920
write music for other audios, I feel like I need

1534
01:06:58.960 --> 01:07:03.619
to get some kind of exclusive deal in writing because

1535
01:07:03.719 --> 01:07:06.139
I'm not even going to lie. The jealousy would be wild.

1536
01:07:06.239 --> 01:07:07.159
No comment.

1537
01:07:07.179 --> 01:07:07.469
What is it?

1538
01:07:07.510 --> 01:07:08.349
A non-compete?

1539
01:07:08.389 --> 01:07:11.050
You need a non-compete contract, right?

1540
01:07:11.130 --> 01:07:14.969
To be fair, it's not too far fetched because of

1541
01:07:15.070 --> 01:07:17.309
how we just explained at the beginning how from 2022

1542
01:07:17.309 --> 01:07:21.349
to now, how audio erotica has just developed and how

1543
01:07:21.389 --> 01:07:24.789
these audios are just increasing in sound effects and immersiveness

1544
01:07:24.849 --> 01:07:29.760
etc then surely the next step is to include you

1545
01:07:29.780 --> 01:07:32.659
know professional people who are going to create the music

1546
01:07:32.719 --> 01:07:36.119
backgrounds it's not going to be the last sound musician

1547
01:07:36.219 --> 01:07:39.460
type audio out there I just think it's a skill

1548
01:07:39.539 --> 01:07:42.949
of which not all VAs have not going to throw

1549
01:07:42.989 --> 01:07:45.309
any shade but some of them don't have those types

1550
01:07:45.329 --> 01:07:49.289
of talents and you know as we move, try to

1551
01:07:49.349 --> 01:07:52.550
move away as well and keep away, sorry, from AI, then,

1552
01:07:52.670 --> 01:07:54.650
you know, a person who knows their stuff and can

1553
01:07:54.690 --> 01:07:57.530
sing their stuff and can play their stuff. I mean, it's,

1554
01:07:58.230 --> 01:08:00.349
I think it's an avenue you need to look down, Eliza,

1555
01:08:00.469 --> 01:08:02.650
is what I'm saying.

1556
01:08:02.730 --> 01:08:03.349
I'll take that in.

1557
01:08:03.730 --> 01:08:06.929
Get Betty involved in this too. Get Betty involved too.

1558
01:08:06.969 --> 01:08:13.090
Well, especially too, I mean, you know, from movies, from TV, from,

1559
01:08:13.309 --> 01:08:17.069
from everything like music adds such dimension to any story.

1560
01:08:17.430 --> 01:08:21.670
But the problem with, with what we do is like copyright, obviously,

1561
01:08:21.729 --> 01:08:23.829
first of all, um, with music. So you've got to,

1562
01:08:24.569 --> 01:08:27.850
there's a challenge there. Even the, the music that's, um,

1563
01:08:27.890 --> 01:08:33.149
creative commons that most people can access for free without,

1564
01:08:33.649 --> 01:08:36.409
you know, any issues. the fact that this is tied

1565
01:08:36.529 --> 01:08:39.819
to erotica um we don't fit that mold you know

1566
01:08:39.840 --> 01:08:41.420
what i mean it's like oh yeah anybody can use

1567
01:08:41.479 --> 01:08:47.020
it except uh you know for adult content so um.

1568
01:08:47.039 --> 01:08:49.840
Okay i won't go on dragons then it's fine yeah

1569
01:08:49.859 --> 01:08:52.770
whatever you call it in america i don't know well.

1570
01:08:52.649 --> 01:08:56.609
I mean yeah i mean there would definitely be uh

1571
01:08:57.369 --> 01:08:59.829
money to be made if somebody wanted to create music

1572
01:08:59.890 --> 01:09:02.659
that was targeted for this because i mean so many

1573
01:09:02.699 --> 01:09:04.899
times you'll see and you'll hear an audio that will

1574
01:09:04.939 --> 01:09:07.399
have music and you're like oh sweet but then you

1575
01:09:07.439 --> 01:09:10.039
listen to it and it's like this weird 80s synth

1576
01:09:10.159 --> 01:09:13.199
thing that you know what i mean it's not yeah

1577
01:09:13.220 --> 01:09:14.819
it's not good music but that's what you have to

1578
01:09:15.109 --> 01:09:17.550
that's what you have to choose from but seriously.

1579
01:09:17.350 --> 01:09:20.369
Who hasn't fucked to music who hasn't like been in

1580
01:09:20.409 --> 01:09:22.140
a situation you've gone oh I'm just gonna put that

1581
01:09:22.180 --> 01:09:25.060

1582
01:09:25.069 --> 01:09:25.840
hardcore because.

1583
01:09:25.739 --> 01:09:29.939
You're gonna go you know wow that question is not

1584
01:09:30.020 --> 01:09:32.520
on the list I can't wait to screenshot that how

1585
01:09:32.539 --> 01:09:33.119
you just looked in.

1586
01:09:33.100 --> 01:09:34.619
That yeah.

1587
01:09:36.020 --> 01:09:41.939
Promo promo we've all fucked to music audiogram music is

1588
01:09:42.000 --> 01:09:46.279
erotic it's emotive it's emotional it's It drives everything that

1589
01:09:46.640 --> 01:09:47.220
sex is.

1590
01:09:47.939 --> 01:09:51.539
I just remember there was this older guy back in

1591
01:09:51.579 --> 01:09:53.989
the day that was trying to court me or whatever.

1592
01:09:54.109 --> 01:09:55.390
And he made the comment that.

1593
01:09:55.270 --> 01:09:58.350
He'd caught you. I'm sorry. Were you growing up in

1594
01:09:58.369 --> 01:09:59.109
the 1790s?

1595
01:09:59.310 --> 01:10:04.340
And then he happened to say that, like, for whatever reason,

1596
01:10:04.350 --> 01:10:07.100
the conversation, he said that he lost his virginity to

1597
01:10:07.140 --> 01:10:09.949
the song, to a boys to men song. I'll make

1598
01:10:10.050 --> 01:10:10.569
love to you.

1599
01:10:10.590 --> 01:10:18.229
And I.

1600
01:10:19.949 --> 01:10:22.449
Was like, Ooh, buddy, if you had it, if you

1601
01:10:22.470 --> 01:10:29.069
had any chance, like it is gone now. I'm sorry.

1602
01:10:29.130 --> 01:10:29.590
It was me.

1603
01:10:29.630 --> 01:10:30.510
I remember the song.

1604
01:10:30.829 --> 01:10:33.989
I mean, I lost mine to kiss from a rose

1605
01:10:34.029 --> 01:10:34.770
by seal.

1606
01:10:34.970 --> 01:10:36.829
Oh, that's a cheesy.

1607
01:10:37.050 --> 01:10:37.649
I know.

1608
01:10:37.729 --> 01:10:38.680
Hey, I know.

1609
01:10:39.109 --> 01:10:41.170
I was, I think there was just TV on in

1610
01:10:41.189 --> 01:10:45.949
the background for mine.

1611
01:10:45.970 --> 01:10:48.850
I was in a hotel room, so yeah. There was

1612
01:10:48.869 --> 01:10:51.170
nothing going on except for the rapid beating of my.

1613
01:10:52.050 --> 01:10:52.850
I'm sorry, what?

1614
01:10:52.930 --> 01:10:54.109
I'm sorry, heart.

1615
01:10:54.430 --> 01:10:56.590
Why did you all interrupt just as he was about

1616
01:10:56.609 --> 01:10:57.329
to say it?

1617
01:10:57.369 --> 01:10:58.369
The rapid beating.

1618
01:10:58.949 --> 01:10:59.810
Rapid beating of your.

1619
01:11:00.560 --> 01:11:01.100
Of my heart.

1620
01:11:02.149 --> 01:11:03.079
Of my heart.

1621
01:11:04.159 --> 01:11:06.140
I would like to know what each one of your

1622
01:11:06.260 --> 01:11:09.100
highlights are. Just one. Just pick one. You have to

1623
01:11:09.109 --> 01:11:13.539
pick one highlight from the whole experience. What would it be? Miles,

1624
01:11:13.720 --> 01:11:14.479
you have the chair.

1625
01:11:16.460 --> 01:11:18.760
I think it's an obvious one, but it's being able

1626
01:11:18.800 --> 01:11:20.359
to bookend it was just such.

1627
01:11:20.229 --> 01:11:20.949
A highlight for me.

1628
01:11:21.130 --> 01:11:23.829
And having it's a it's a you know, it's an honor.

1629
01:11:23.989 --> 01:11:25.350
It's an honor to be able to do that and

1630
01:11:25.430 --> 01:11:27.949
to have been somebody throughout chosen. You know, I felt

1631
01:11:27.989 --> 01:11:30.609
like I was chosen by Lark and trusted. So that

1632
01:11:30.649 --> 01:11:32.460
was the highlight for me was being able to bookend it.

1633
01:11:32.989 --> 01:11:34.029
Your proper bookie.

1634
01:11:34.069 --> 01:11:35.489
Not getting the girl over Nadio.

1635
01:11:35.970 --> 01:11:36.770
That was, yeah.

1636
01:11:37.050 --> 01:11:38.050
That was the cherry.

1637
01:11:39.149 --> 01:11:40.890
It doesn't happen often.

1638
01:11:43.029 --> 01:11:44.489
How do you know?

1639
01:11:44.550 --> 01:11:46.149
Because he's fucking Nadia.

1640
01:11:46.439 --> 01:11:48.880
Yeah, but he's fucking Miles.

1641
01:11:48.960 --> 01:11:53.060
Who's fucking Miles and who's fucking Nadia? Who are these people?

1642
01:11:54.140 --> 01:11:56.939
Atlas was talking about us. We're going to say Atlas.

1643
01:11:57.300 --> 01:11:58.479
I will write that script.

1644
01:11:58.579 --> 01:11:58.880
Hi, Nadia.

1645
01:12:01.979 --> 01:12:05.100
He's definitely going to want to work with me now.

1646
01:12:06.829 --> 01:12:08.970
Atlas, your highlight.

1647
01:12:10.390 --> 01:12:10.909
Man, I.

1648
01:12:12.569 --> 01:12:14.529
Know I talked already about how it was nice to,

1649
01:12:15.869 --> 01:12:18.210
you know, it was tough for a while to find

1650
01:12:18.250 --> 01:12:22.840
the time, especially because heading towards this, I was in

1651
01:12:22.859 --> 01:12:24.239
the middle of so many life changes.

1652
01:12:24.699 --> 01:12:26.920
Yeah, just having the excuse, I.

1653
01:12:26.920 --> 01:12:31.529
Guess, to allow myself to tell other work to fuck

1654
01:12:31.590 --> 01:12:34.350
off for a bit and pull out my guitar and

1655
01:12:34.380 --> 01:12:36.039
like just write music.

1656
01:12:36.460 --> 01:12:38.579
Um, I think that was a highlight cause.

1657
01:12:38.520 --> 01:12:41.979
It's something, you know, that, that was so much of

1658
01:12:42.020 --> 01:12:47.039
my life for so long. Um, before starting acting for

1659
01:12:47.060 --> 01:12:49.279
a long, long time, like music was the dream. I

1660
01:12:49.590 --> 01:12:52.210
was doing stuff with, you know, multiple bands and, and

1661
01:12:52.689 --> 01:12:57.050
some of them overseas. Um, You know, solo projects and stuff.

1662
01:12:57.109 --> 01:13:00.109
It was like my whole life. So it was kind

1663
01:13:00.149 --> 01:13:03.760
of a bittersweet thing to find success in another field

1664
01:13:03.800 --> 01:13:05.640
and then not really have time for it so much.

1665
01:13:05.939 --> 01:13:06.239
Yeah.

1666
01:13:06.680 --> 01:13:08.739
So it was cool to get to jump back in

1667
01:13:08.779 --> 01:13:09.170
for a bit.

1668
01:13:09.310 --> 01:13:13.810
So you went from multiple bands to multiple orgasms. It's

1669
01:13:13.829 --> 01:13:16.329
a very, very fine and honorable transition.

1670
01:13:16.609 --> 01:13:17.310
Thank you.

1671
01:13:17.430 --> 01:13:17.670
Agreed.

1672
01:13:18.789 --> 01:13:19.789
That's really cool, dude.

1673
01:13:19.810 --> 01:13:23.409
I'm happy you got a chance to dip your toes

1674
01:13:23.449 --> 01:13:25.149
back into that. That's really nice.

1675
01:13:25.170 --> 01:13:26.310
Yeah. Yeah, man.

1676
01:13:26.609 --> 01:13:28.449
Does it make you want to find the time to

1677
01:13:28.649 --> 01:13:30.409
have more of that back in your life, Atlas?

1678
01:13:31.050 --> 01:13:35.100
I mean, finding the time would be the primary problem.

1679
01:13:35.560 --> 01:13:35.880
Yeah.

1680
01:13:35.899 --> 01:13:37.939
But yeah, I mean, I miss that. It would be cool.

1681
01:13:38.380 --> 01:13:41.199
But the whole acting thing is pretty rad. I do

1682
01:13:42.600 --> 01:13:43.359
enjoy that.

1683
01:13:43.380 --> 01:13:44.020
Yeah, not so bad.

1684
01:13:44.039 --> 01:13:44.659
I do enjoy that.

1685
01:13:44.680 --> 01:13:52.220
You didn't go from musician to doing taxes. A little

1686
01:13:52.260 --> 01:13:52.659
more fun.

1687
01:13:53.300 --> 01:13:53.819
Eliza?

1688
01:13:54.520 --> 01:13:56.380
I feel bad because I feel like my answer is

1689
01:13:56.420 --> 01:14:02.079
the same as Alice's. I mean, yeah, it's been the

1690
01:14:02.119 --> 01:14:07.350
joy of just getting to do music again and Remind

1691
01:14:07.380 --> 01:14:10.500
myself that I love it. I think, honestly, I primarily

1692
01:14:10.539 --> 01:14:12.939
worked in musical theater and I did it professionally for

1693
01:14:12.979 --> 01:14:17.130
a few years and then ended up hating it and

1694
01:14:17.289 --> 01:14:20.250
really had a harsh breakup, I think, with music and just...

1695
01:14:22.060 --> 01:14:24.159
And so getting to come back to it in a

1696
01:14:24.159 --> 01:14:28.060
way that felt not judgmental and like the stakes, the

1697
01:14:28.079 --> 01:14:30.340
stakes were high, but not in not in the same.

1698
01:14:30.220 --> 01:14:32.430
Way that they were for my previous life.

1699
01:14:32.550 --> 01:14:34.550
And so getting to come back to it in a

1700
01:14:34.590 --> 01:14:37.109
way that was just so lovely and like only happy

1701
01:14:37.170 --> 01:14:41.619
and good and creative has been amazing. such an immense

1702
01:14:41.760 --> 01:14:46.899
joy and fully reignited a love for music and songwriting.

1703
01:14:46.979 --> 01:14:50.109
I'm not the most confident songwriter, but I think it's

1704
01:14:50.250 --> 01:14:52.090
increased my confidence.

1705
01:14:51.609 --> 01:14:52.090
A little bit.

1706
01:14:52.229 --> 01:14:54.109
I should hope so.

1707
01:14:54.590 --> 01:14:58.250
Yeah, and Lark knows this, but my goal with all

1708
01:14:58.270 --> 01:15:00.500
of these is actually to go off and make full

1709
01:15:00.539 --> 01:15:04.029
studio versions of the songs and... I'm going to call

1710
01:15:04.170 --> 01:15:06.470
it love songs for other people because they're all love

1711
01:15:06.489 --> 01:15:10.500
songs and I wrote them for other people to sing. Yeah,

1712
01:15:10.520 --> 01:15:13.340
so it's kind of like taking shape into a new

1713
01:15:13.920 --> 01:15:16.779
creative project for me, which is also a gift.

1714
01:15:17.199 --> 01:15:19.739
And now to the person who brought it all together,

1715
01:15:19.760 --> 01:15:24.800
who began the sound sessions journey, what has been your highlight?

1716
01:15:26.039 --> 01:15:29.189
Gosh, I mean, I've had several, but the one that's

1717
01:15:29.229 --> 01:15:30.869
coming to mind most recently is.

1718
01:15:33.210 --> 01:15:37.170
When Miles had finished the final session and he sent

1719
01:15:37.229 --> 01:15:40.670
it to Eliza and I to listen to, to beta listen.

1720
01:15:41.210 --> 01:15:44.670
And she and I started it at the same time, basically. Actually, no,

1721
01:15:44.710 --> 01:15:46.350
I couldn't wait for her. She was doing something. So

1722
01:15:46.390 --> 01:15:50.810
I started listening anyway. And like in particular, the last

1723
01:15:50.810 --> 01:15:53.550
10 minutes that is, that's, you know, it's got the

1724
01:15:53.569 --> 01:15:55.909
cameos and it's got the music and everything else. And

1725
01:15:55.939 --> 01:15:58.600
I just remember us listening to that part together and

1726
01:15:58.619 --> 01:16:01.479
just like crying and like sending messages. Cause it was

1727
01:16:01.500 --> 01:16:05.380
just like, the coolest. And then also in tandem, Miles

1728
01:16:05.399 --> 01:16:06.890
knew we were doing it at that time. So he's

1729
01:16:06.930 --> 01:16:09.970
waiting for a reaction. He's like, come on guys. I'm

1730
01:16:09.989 --> 01:16:13.489
dying over here. It was just like this really cool

1731
01:16:13.609 --> 01:16:17.529
feeling of us all just being really invested and just like,

1732
01:16:18.130 --> 01:16:20.710
it was just, it was just amazing. And it was

1733
01:16:20.750 --> 01:16:23.729
so beautiful. And you could just tell, you know, Eliza was,

1734
01:16:23.949 --> 01:16:26.649
was proud of, of this this was her baby. Like

1735
01:16:26.670 --> 01:16:28.649
the song was her baby. And it was like, I

1736
01:16:28.689 --> 01:16:30.250
guess I'm talking to babies in here, but like, you know,

1737
01:16:30.430 --> 01:16:31.930
for me too, it's like, you know, this is my,

1738
01:16:32.569 --> 01:16:35.140
this is my passion project coming to fruition.

1739
01:16:35.260 --> 01:16:35.779
And, and.

1740
01:16:36.420 --> 01:16:38.720
Miles was so invested in it and it was just, yeah,

1741
01:16:38.739 --> 01:16:41.100
it was just like three really passionate creators in here

1742
01:16:41.180 --> 01:16:43.220
just kind of listening to the fruits of their labor,

1743
01:16:43.279 --> 01:16:45.979
I guess. God, God, what is with all the baby?

1744
01:16:46.000 --> 01:16:49.270
Jules, Jules, you're going to have to put a breeding

1745
01:16:49.310 --> 01:16:50.590
tag on this.

1746
01:16:50.649 --> 01:16:52.189
I was just going to say that. I was just

1747
01:16:52.210 --> 01:16:54.170
going to say that. I think Lark, your next audio

1748
01:16:54.210 --> 01:16:55.529
has to have the breeding tag.

1749
01:16:55.569 --> 01:16:59.550
So, you know, I did write breeding in something recently.

1750
01:16:59.569 --> 01:17:04.369
Can I, can I comment on the reverse as well,

1751
01:17:04.590 --> 01:17:08.569
which is that, um, we had sent Miles the finished

1752
01:17:08.710 --> 01:17:14.390
song and then Lark and I were like waiting, like,

1753
01:17:14.689 --> 01:17:16.750
and so, and the same thing happened with Atlas too.

1754
01:17:16.829 --> 01:17:18.789
And it was sent to Atlas. Like, I think we

1755
01:17:18.810 --> 01:17:20.270
both had a moment of like, what are they going

1756
01:17:20.289 --> 01:17:20.649
to think?

1757
01:17:20.729 --> 01:17:21.689
Are they going to like it?

1758
01:17:21.729 --> 01:17:22.010
Yeah.

1759
01:17:22.109 --> 01:17:23.689
It was very cute.

1760
01:17:23.710 --> 01:17:27.020
I remember I told, told Atlas that we had it

1761
01:17:27.439 --> 01:17:28.779
and I was like, are you, like, are you going

1762
01:17:28.800 --> 01:17:30.359
to be able to listen to it tonight? And he

1763
01:17:30.380 --> 01:17:32.210
was like, Oh, probably not to the morning. And I'm like, Hey,

1764
01:17:32.220 --> 01:17:34.489
I'm not sending it to you then until then. Because

1765
01:17:34.510 --> 01:17:37.939
I would just be waiting the whole time. Well, did

1766
01:17:37.979 --> 01:17:39.979
he hear it and doesn't want to say anything? You

1767
01:17:40.020 --> 01:17:43.180
know what I mean? I needed to have control over

1768
01:17:43.220 --> 01:17:45.850
that situation. We needed to know when it was happening

1769
01:17:46.189 --> 01:17:50.909
so we could get an in-time live reaction. I don't

1770
01:17:50.939 --> 01:17:52.600
know why I'm like, I am okay.

1771
01:17:52.699 --> 01:17:53.800
I love it.

1772
01:17:53.819 --> 01:17:54.600
We love you for it.

1773
01:17:54.619 --> 01:17:56.579
Don't ever change. Don't ever change.

1774
01:17:56.779 --> 01:17:58.479
I love it.

1775
01:17:59.039 --> 01:18:02.000
Do you know what I love about the AE space?

1776
01:18:02.439 --> 01:18:08.520
Everybody we've ever talked to is so humble, so joy,

1777
01:18:08.760 --> 01:18:11.470
overjoyed to be doing what they do and what they

1778
01:18:11.520 --> 01:18:14.670
love and with the people that they're working with. And

1779
01:18:14.689 --> 01:18:17.770
I just think it's testament to I think it's the

1780
01:18:17.810 --> 01:18:20.989
subject matter. It breaks people's defenses down because you're having

1781
01:18:21.010 --> 01:18:23.649
to talk about certain things that might be a bit uncomfortable,

1782
01:18:23.689 --> 01:18:25.409
might be a bit awkward. And I think straight away

1783
01:18:25.770 --> 01:18:28.390
you have those difficult conversations at the beginning. And I

1784
01:18:28.430 --> 01:18:30.729
think it creates better relationships. What about you guys?

1785
01:18:31.500 --> 01:18:34.220
Yeah, you kind of, when you're working with someone new,

1786
01:18:34.239 --> 01:18:35.560
you have to get over the, hey, we're going to

1787
01:18:35.600 --> 01:18:37.420
talk about weird sex stuff, like real fast.

1788
01:18:37.439 --> 01:18:40.539
That's sweet.

1789
01:18:40.619 --> 01:18:44.430
Well, we are extremely happy that you all came in

1790
01:18:44.869 --> 01:18:48.130
and to talk about it because I think it's been

1791
01:18:48.229 --> 01:18:49.970
talked about a lot in the communities.

1792
01:18:50.239 --> 01:18:51.640
And everybody really loves it.

1793
01:18:51.920 --> 01:18:54.279
And I know we've talked to some of you before

1794
01:18:54.399 --> 01:18:56.380
at Liz and Miles. We're really happy that you come back.

1795
01:18:56.520 --> 01:19:00.869
And AJ, Eliza and Lark, it's been absolutely fantastic to

1796
01:19:01.449 --> 01:19:04.109
talk to you both and to see things from how

1797
01:19:04.170 --> 01:19:07.289
it worked and from your side of the story and

1798
01:19:07.310 --> 01:19:12.369
your I just think that our clitsons will absolutely swallow

1799
01:19:12.409 --> 01:19:12.829
this up.

1800
01:19:13.569 --> 01:19:14.069
Not spit.

1801
01:19:14.789 --> 01:19:16.869
What? I can't help it.

1802
01:19:16.890 --> 01:19:19.369
The brain just goes. I'm so sorry.

1803
01:19:19.390 --> 01:19:21.850
It sounded so professional and well-made.

1804
01:19:21.890 --> 01:19:23.750
We're back to throat coding again. What is happening?

1805
01:19:23.770 --> 01:19:25.050
Back to the throat code.

1806
01:19:25.090 --> 01:19:26.050
Just use gobble.

1807
01:19:26.090 --> 01:19:26.710
Gobble.

1808
01:19:26.729 --> 01:19:28.289
No one will think anything about gobble.

1809
01:19:30.539 --> 01:19:31.659
Gobble's very innocent.

1810
01:19:31.680 --> 01:19:33.239
Yeah, gobble.

1811
01:19:33.279 --> 01:19:34.010
Gobble, gobble.

1812
01:19:34.020 --> 01:19:34.859
Yeah, turkey.

1813
01:19:35.890 --> 01:19:37.289
I'm so glad.

1814
01:19:37.409 --> 01:19:40.029
We are so glad that you came into the Greencast studio,

1815
01:19:40.069 --> 01:19:42.010
however you came and however you spat and swallowed and

1816
01:19:42.050 --> 01:19:42.710
gobbled and whatever.

1817
01:19:42.729 --> 01:19:44.890
Don't forget the gravy.

1818
01:19:44.909 --> 01:19:46.010
There we go.

1819
01:19:46.149 --> 01:19:47.010
Welcome back to me.

1820
01:19:47.109 --> 01:19:48.149
We missed you.

1821
01:19:48.189 --> 01:19:49.289
I'm just going to shut up. I'm just going to

1822
01:19:49.310 --> 01:19:51.149
put this up on mute because I feel naughty now.

1823
01:19:51.609 --> 01:19:51.949
It's bad.

1824
01:19:52.340 --> 01:19:52.640
It's bad.

1825
01:19:52.979 --> 01:19:56.449
No, I really appreciate you being here. asking us to

1826
01:19:56.470 --> 01:19:58.409
do this. Yeah, it was a wonderful experience. And thanks

1827
01:19:58.529 --> 01:20:01.119
so much to, I mean, Atlas starting this all off

1828
01:20:01.220 --> 01:20:06.960
and Miles and Eliza being my right hand gal. And

1829
01:20:06.979 --> 01:20:09.199
then of course, AJ and all the other voice actors

1830
01:20:09.260 --> 01:20:09.560
as well.

1831
01:20:09.800 --> 01:20:10.359
It's incredible.

1832
01:20:10.439 --> 01:20:11.399
Huge undertaking.

1833
01:20:11.439 --> 01:20:15.119
Congratulations. Just massive. And, you know, just the buzz throughout

1834
01:20:15.140 --> 01:20:17.869
the community every time there was a teaser or like,

1835
01:20:18.409 --> 01:20:20.710
you know, what's coming next? Who's the next one going

1836
01:20:20.729 --> 01:20:24.069
to be? There was just chatter constantly about what is

1837
01:20:24.090 --> 01:20:27.739
going to happen next. And there were surprises at every turn.

1838
01:20:27.920 --> 01:20:30.399
But, yeah, thanks, guys, for coming in. Really appreciate it.

1839
01:20:30.430 --> 01:20:31.510
We know you're really busy people.

01:20:57.109 --> 01:20:57.670
Best gig ever.

1857
01:20:57.689 --> 01:20:59.149
We got to go backstage.

1858
01:20:59.369 --> 01:21:00.789
Oh, we did, and I didn't have to give anybody

1859
01:21:00.810 --> 01:21:01.630
a blowjob joking.

1860
01:21:03.640 --> 01:21:05.239
Then why did I see you on your knees in

1861
01:21:05.260 --> 01:21:07.600
front of a record? You know, it's, you know, force

1862
01:21:07.659 --> 01:21:09.199
of habit. Okay, I know.

1863
01:21:09.239 --> 01:21:11.079
We had our press passes. We had all of that

1864
01:21:11.140 --> 01:21:12.840
fun stuff for backstage, you know.

1865
01:21:13.100 --> 01:21:13.380
Right?

01:21:14.270 --> 01:21:17.050
That was cool. I mean, what a massive collection of

1867
01:21:17.149 --> 01:21:18.130
audios and sort of just.

1868
01:21:18.369 --> 01:21:19.529
Massive collection of audios.
