Finn Johansson’s more than a little buzzed to unveil the song he'’s been working on with Amamelia for Demo Gods. The prompt was "The Fine Art of Restraint” and Amelia Berry joins us from Melbourne to talk about the process. Hear the demo here!
This week George reckons the early 2000s turned out to be far more mysterious than he expected, thanks in part to Lazy Lane and the track Strange Dreams.
Finn Johansson’s been busy over the break lining up his Demo Gods. Amamelia is his latest collaborator and she’s picked "The Fine Art of Restraint’ as the prompt. In Pt. I we check out a few gems from Amelia’s back catalogue.
On a rainy Tamaki day we’re transported to the islands of the Pacific with Sefa Inari, the Director of the Pacific Dance Festival – on this month and showcasing the finest dancers from Aotearoa and across the Pacific.
Finn Johansson Zooms in from Queenstown where he’s on tour with Fables, while this week’s Demo God Karl Sölve Steven joins Karyn in the studio. The prompt Karl chose was “BPM” and the resulting demo is titled Bad People Music.
Finn Johansson gives us a potted musical history of Karl Sölve Steven before unveiling the finished demo next week, with the prompt being “BPM”. Tracks from The Drab Doo-Riffs, Supergroove, Queen Neptune and one from Karl’s highly successful movie soundtrack work.
