mylarmelodies | Why We Bleep Podcast 011 - Tom Whitwell/Music Thing Modular @mylarmelodies | Uploaded 5 years ago | Updated 8 hours ago
Thanks to episode sponsors http://SignalSounds.com for your modular/synth purchasing needs and http://thonk.co.uk for your DIY needs!
On the one year anniversary of Why We Bleep, we decided to return to revisit our very first guest, the immense and fascinating Music Thing Modular-making journalist, consultant and all round thought-provoking person that is Tom Whitwell. In it we generally hang out and chat discuss all manner of music technology, gear, people, things and ideas.
