Andrew Prahlow and Literally the Amp from Adam's Song

It's Outer Wilds round two as we're joined by composer Andrew Prahlow. We start with some of our favorite video game soundtracks, then get into Andrew's object, a Fender Dual Professional. We go deep on how using an amp in a room can help create memories of music-making, what it means to access the history of a piece of musical equipment while creating your own history with it, and how non-traditional compositions like Jon Brion's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind inspired Andrew's approach to emotion in a soundtrack.

Om Podcasten

OBNE Presents: Object Worship. A podcast about creative tools and the people who use them. In each episode, hosts Dan Pechacek and Andy Othling sit down with a creator, from musicians to engineers to visual artists, and ask them about a tangible object that’s been important in their journey. They’ll talk about the creative process, early inspirations, and the magic of tactility, all the while getting to know each other. As friends in the effects pedal corner of the music industry, Pechacek and Othling aim to capture the feeling of post-show chats, where technical deep dives and tangential absurdity are equally welcome.
