Episode #6: PHEEK

This week's guest Pheek does it all in the world of music. He is a musician, producer, label owner, sound engineer, educator and much more. His discogs page lists 35 albums, over 50 singles and EPs, and more than 900 credits to his name. Hailing from the Montreal scene, he is well-known internationally in the world of electronic music, through his output, touring, and collaborations with many other artists. In the last few years he has moved to the country outside of Montreal, where he runs a studio, hosts musician retreats, provides coaching services, and continues to create new music.

There is a personal/professional connection with Pheek and the podcast, as the studio where I record the podcast was his own for many years. With his help and encouragement, the studio was transformed into the collective that runs and uses it now. In our conversation, Pheek gives some history and context to the studio, as well as his almost 40-year (and counting!) career of making music, and we talk about his own process and advice for producing music.

About the podcast:

This 6th episode concludes the first "season", if you will, of the Music, Movement, Machines podcast! It has been a pleasure to put these episodes together, and I'm looking forward to the next batch. I'm taking a little time to retool and make some small changes to the production, but overall the format will stay mostly the same, and I'll be back soon with more conversations with musicians, artists and researchers.
