Really happy to share this chat with Luke as a celebration of the NEW RELEASE of our LP 
 
https://surl.li/fqimbs
 
"A companion for the spaces Between Dreams"
 
There are digital and physical copies
 
YES both vinyl and cassette I'm happy to say!
 
This music was made crafted here in my studio in Nashville, it's a guide for those liminal spaces you may find yourself in so to speak and it's been a real treat to put together
 
Luke is a special one and it was lovely to get a focused time to sit and chaat. 
 
We had a nice jam too and generated loads more amazing sound. 
 
Feels like such an easy thing for us to get on the same page. 
 
We get into how Luke found his path and along the way he mentions a lot of amazing pedal steel players 
 
I thought I'd best compile them for reference as they are pretty special !
 
Cheers y'all

HOWA EP 146 - LUKE SCHNEIDER

Welcome to Crimble escape pod EP 91. 
 
Happy to share this chat with Jonathan Rado !
 
You may know him from his band Foxygen or perhaps his productions with 
 
 The Killers, The Lemon Twigs, Tim Heidecker, Whitney, Alex Cameron, Father John Misty or perhaps Weyes Blood?
 
I had a blast meeting him in the covid lull a while back where we had a rare face to face chinwag.
 
We talk about his work with the killers, his come up and his early sonic adventures. How Richard Swift was a hugely pivotal force, both as a musical inspiration and then as a teacher. We get into his working alongside the magical Shawn Everett on many projects and the secret of his success in terms of the mystical "Rado effect"!
 
___ 
 
In the nitty I get into the rare world of the double head. Yes, not one but 2 Neumann ku100s were used to produce this one. Working a little with the idea of creating a far far away mic fade. We shall answer the age old question, are 2 heads are better than 1? Check it 
 
____
 
I chat about my new big modular case. A thing of astounding beauty. Crafted by one of the best. A tremchap named Brock from Emc
 
More on that and my secret next purchase soon

Music for the show comes from 2 super talented artists:
 
 • splitradix

And

HOWA EP 91 - JONATHAN RADO

The sequel usually disappoints. Not this time. 
 
Greg and I literally go into outer space and beyond the grave in this cosmic excursion. Earthly concerns addressed in good measure also.
 
An immense pleasure to chat in such great depth with this absolutely superb chap.

HOWA 43 - GREG WELLS (PART 2)

As you know, I've been rather obsessed with the music of Hans-Joachim Roedelius, and that obsession doesn't seem to be fading anytime soon. 
 
So you can imagine my delight when I discovered that Tim Story, who joins me on this episode of the podcast, played a major role in creating the remarkable record that's captivated me lately — 90.
 
 
 
To make that album, Tim sifted through over 100 hours of unreleased material from Roedelius's archives — a monumental effort that resulted in this stunning compilation of tracks. I was fascinated to hear about the process behind it all, and equally happy to speak with Tim himself — a wonderfully charming and generous man, as well as a longtime friend and collaborator of Roedelius.
 
 
 
I hope you enjoy our conversation.
 
 
 
Music for this episode comes from Europe in Flames, whose new album One is out now. You can find it on Bandcamp — here's the link.

HOWA EP 145 - TIM STORY

Was a mighty pleasure to chat with the alchemical Lucrecia Dalt.
 
She's playing with THOSE forces. Sculpting the slippery into sound.
 
Both primal and refined. This is not free noise by any means, it's a crafted and highly tuned set of worlds that all feel both intimate and deliberate at the same time.
 
Wonderful music. Wonderful art. In your face and unapologetic. Bravo!!!
 
Her new album is called "A Danger to Ourselves"
 
Out Sept 5th
 
Here's a Bandcamp link.
 
Hightly recommend you check it out. It cuts deep.
 
https://lucreciadalt.bandcamp.com/album/a-danger-to-ourselves
 
** Shout out to Dana Wachs for the intro here. She's doing sound for Lucrecia during her live dates and she's opening too. Love to see it

HOWA EP 144 - LUCRECIA DALT

Lovely to catch up with Kaitlyn to get a behind the scenes breakdown of the process that went into creating her latest LP "Gush"
 
I was not expecting it to be made this way. Nope. I had no clue. I loved being so utter wrong about it!
 
I challenge you to listen fist to the music and then guess how she pulled it off. Utterly wild.
 
Love it.
 
She tells me of the sonic coffee (what resets her ear palette)
 
The inspiration of Lex ishimoto the dancer
 
and reveals a secret as to who she'd like to sound like when singing.
 
Again
 
I was shocked!
 
This was recorded in Feb 2025.. err.. sorry! took me ages
 
If you dont know her work you're in for a treat. She has a very unique and delightful harmonious take on the construction and presentation of electronic sound that is quite a singular take. So rare to find someone that really found their own way through. She's never repeating herself it seems. There's a great range in the catalogue which to me is always the key to a truly great artist. A true seeker.

HOWA EP 143 - KAITLYN AURELIA SMITH

Welcome Philip Weinrobe the optimist.
 
It's downright infectious to hang with this chap. His bright-eyed, freewheeling attitude is not something that can be put on. Well at least, I feel you know when it's an act. In Philip's case it's interwoven into his worldview. What I'm saying is.
 
He's really that guy and it's a wonderful thing!
 
I was happy to learn of his wigglesome ride through this thing called life that led him work with some of the modern greats like
 
Adrianne Lenker (Big Thief), Tomberlin, and Theo Katzman (Vulfpeck)
 
______________
 
Dipping into the Phil links:
 
Don ellis was mentioned in the chat. I wasn't aware. He was the real deal.

Phil teaches - sonic scoop walk through of a mix. So much to learn here!
 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ-Fc_Nm_H8
 
Alanis Morissette made an ambient record :) Phil was involved

During the intro I float the idea of sharing my latest studio experiments on Samply to you at the Patreon hub. Interesting ?

HOWA EP 142 - PHILIP WEINROBE

My new album
 
PLACES OF UNKNOWING has arrived
 
link to LP (release date July 18th 2025)
 
https://lnk.to/placesofunknowing
 
WOO!!
 
Let's get on with the show! Meet Pascal :)
 
What a treat it has been to welcome this man into my life
 
Not only did he give me confidence and skills to play the piano for the first time in my life,
 
he toiled to transcribe my vocal multitracks and save them from dying on the hard drive.
 
He sat with me and the recording crew in the studio for 5 hours to assist our cellist as this same song took shape
 
With patience and encouragement that's very rare and deeply contagious. 
 
Speaking my language just as fluently as the classic players
 
He's been the bridge to many lands
 
This new LP - Places of Unknowing that's OUT July 18th 2025 
 
Would not have existed without Pascal. It's as simple as that. 
 
 
 
He set the ball rolling and helped me so so much along the way. 
 
I was watching the live show footage last night. 
 
The concert of the record that was performed in Nashville March 2025 with a wonderful group of musicians.
 
Some of them were professional like Rob Burger, Ethan Jodziewicz and Lee Vinson but many students joined from Blair college of music.
 
Pascal was working at the school at the time and drummed up interest, found us a room to practice in and kept it all together with so little time. 
 
He not only found all these great players but he then remade arrangements from the album for woodwind 
 
Beautiful arrangements. 
 
I was in tears last night. Just thinking of that night and all the time leading up to it 
 
It took so long and so much energy to pull it together. 
 
Life has moved from that time and now Pascal is leaving to MIT in Boston with his wife and kids
 
I couldn't be happier for them !!! I mean come on. MIT!!! 
 
He really is one of the most inspiring people I've met and I'm so happy to get to share this pod and the window it opens to his world. 
 
With one grammy under his belt already, watch out for him 
 
This will not be the last time you hear about Pascal. 
 
He's the real deal. Im very lucky to call him a friend x

I thought it might be useful to share some links to musicians Pascal references in this chat as many are new to me and maybe to you too :)

HOWA EP 141 - PASCAL LE BOEUF

He lives across the street and happens to be one of my fave musicians ever. Sometimes life is just like that right?
 
He's played in so many rolls over the years both as a solo artist and film composer and as a player backing the heaviest like Laurie Anderson, Lou Reed, Marianne Faithfull, John Zorn and this bloke Jamie Lidell
 
Yep, he's opened me up to so much great music and is one of the best improvisers I've ever heard. Just flowing with the music. He sits at the piano and he's away. With the muses that circle him.
 
Great to present this audiobook length chronology for the archives.
 
Rob has been such an important part of my musical world here in America.
 
He's all over my upcoming album "Places of Unknowing" and throughout this chat I play excepts from the record that were played by the man himself.
 
here we go!!!

HOWA EP 140 - ROB BURGER

ITS OUT!!!
 
YES!!!
 
It's hard to believe tbh after all this time but indeed the first song from my long talked about LP "Places of Unknowning" is OUT 
 
There's a vinyl pre-order (and digi pre-thing) for the full album and links to stream this early track the "The Center" here:
 
https://todo.ochre.store
 
Video from the live performance of The Center here!

You might be curious how it all came to be....
 
Where are these wild and powerful words coming from for example?
 
Well I'm glad you asked since I got to sit down and record a chat with my delightful wife Lindsey Rome who wrote this record with me. 
 
Specifically, she wrote the words and I set them to music. A marriage of it's own!
 
She's A lady I adore 
 
A lady I am constantly inspired by.
 
A lady that has no end to her creativity. 
 
She's written a lot of material with me at this point and it's always been super rewarding to work in this way but I will say that NOTHING I've made with her has ever been like this.
 
I felt like I was handed these precious truths and intimate revelations to try and merge with the realm of music. 
 
The fact I know her so well and care so deeply was both the only way to make this so rich and potent but also proved to be quite a challenge to get right. 
 
Needless to say Im mightily excited finally get to share the fruits of our collaboration at long last. 
 
It really was a team effort between the two of us and all the more sweet to send it off as a document of this time 
 
Hope you enjoy hearing how it all came to be from my 
 
best friend and true love
 
Lindsey Rome
