Let's Talk Synth... Seriously!! #17: &Tilly

Many people consider "&Tilly" a one-woman-project since their vocalist T. is among the most remarkable vocalists of the independent music scene, but in fact - as we learn in this episode - &Tilly is a project of three. Not the only interesting thing to learn here. We also hear about their attitude towards Synthesizers in their genre-bending project, how they produce their amazing music videos and how they use them to push their career. But most of all we learn about their honesty, modesty and down-to-earth approach, and that's perhaps the most important thing of all.

Let's Talk Synth... Seriously!! #16: Interview MARK STANWAY (Magnum // Kingdom of Madness)

I am extremely excited that I have an interview with a true keyboard legend for you today: MARK STANWAY has played for British Rock Band MAGNUM from 1980 to 2016 and has seen it all: Working with star producers like Keith Olsen, Queen's Roger Taylor and Jeff Glixman, world tours with giant stage sets (including the feeling of being pulled up with your keyboard setup like 15 feet in the air), seeing the technology evolve from the times of the Mellotron up to the rise of modern Sampling technology.MARK STANWAY has also worked with Phil Lynott, forming "Grand Slam", has worked with Robert Plant in the "Honeydrippers" and has been in the Lineup of bands like "Stampede" and "M3 Classic Whitesnake". Together with former Magnum members and friends Mark Stanway now plays with his own outfit "Kingdom Of Madness".But his years in Magnum, playing on groundbreaking records like "Chase The Dragon", "On A Storyteller's Night", "Wings of Heaven" and "Goodnight L.A.", which all have been international mega sellers, are probably the defining part of his almost 50 year career as a pro musician.I am extremely honored and proud to be able to bring you this interview with one of the groundbreaking idols of Rock keyboard playing - a true time travel (with Synthesizers!).
