Show Notes
What happened when music stopped being about capturing performances and started being about creating them? In this more personal episode of Knobs, Simon Moro and Terry Hart reflect on creativity, nostalgia, songwriting, technology and why modern music production feels fundamentally different to the way it did 20 years ago. From band rehearsals and old Chili Peppers records to music theory, confidence, artistic identity and whether artists have become satellites working alone, this episode explores what has changed, what has been lost, and what might still be worth reclaiming. If you've ever wondered whether you’ve drifted away from the reason you started making music in the first place, this one might hit close to home.
