Ep. 51 - Sam Porter from Kali Masi and CME
Have you ever considered what it means to look yourself in the eye as an artist? On this week’s episode we have an excellent (and slightly buggy - sorry!) chat with Sam Porter, guitarist and vocalist from Kali Masi and product photographer from Chicago Music Exchange. We talk through his artistic journey with Kali Masi, run-through his rig including pieces by Fender, Science Amps, and 1981 Inventions, the crossover between songwriting and photo composition, tips for taking product photos that sell, and the importance of a light source in your photos. We also touch on the Peterson iStrobosoft tuning app, Summer NAMM cancellation, Evans drumheads and Thalia capos stepping up to make PPE, Frank Zappa, Jeff Buckley’s Grace, and the Universal Audio Luna. Put your space helmet on and take a dive in.
