Summary

The history and modern-day relevance of Electronic Dance Music is something that people often overlook when it comes to music. Our podcast delves into this subject before we play on of our own takes on EDM music using methods of EDM production.

Podcaster Bios

We are both very interested in music-related topics, such as production, composition, and technology. Joshua and Arjun have both been producing EDM and pop music for over a year. Joshua is pursuing a career in music and Arjun is pursuing a career in film and TV.

Introduction

I am very influenced by improv podcasts which use banter to form a bond between the co-hosts in the eyes of the listener. Our project goals were to inform the listener about anything related to EDM. Some specific inspirations of mine are podcasts such as Comedy Bang Bang and Song Exploder.

Process

Below are some screenshots of our DAW backgrounds where we recorded and assembled the podcast.

Reflection

From this podcast, I learned how to explore new topics and explain them to others. Luckily, I was able to choose a topic with Joshua that involved researching and producing music. If I were to give some advice to first-time podcasters, I would say that you shouldn’t become overwhelmed by the process, which can definitely happen.
