Brian Funk

An exploration of music production through informal discussions about technique, philosophy, gear, and creativity. Hosted by Brian Funk, a musician, songwriter, teacher, and Ableton Certified Trainer.

Music Production Podcast

Joshua Blum is the host of The Thirteenth Hour Podcast, a show about the creative process as it relates to writing, music, and imagination. He's also the author of The Thirteenth Hour, a fantasy adventure novel, and the creator of Once Upon a Dream—an 80's-inspired synth soundtrack to accompany the book. Josh builds a rich creative world around his stories, blending music, writing, and visual art to tell bigger, immersive narratives.
 
In this conversation, we talk about the routines, strategies, and mindset shifts that help Josh stay creative while managing the demands of everyday life. He shares how working within time constraints forces him to be more focused and playful, how constraints fuel creativity, and why creative output doesn't need to be perfect to be meaningful. We also talk about nostalgia, world-building, and how developing recurring characters and themes across mediums can unlock a deeper connection to your work.
 
This episode is a simulcast with The Thirteenth Hour Podcast, and it was a real pleasure to swap perspectives with someone who thinks deeply about creativity across disciplines.

Takeaways:
 
 Time Constraints Can Be Creative Superpowers - • Josh works in short, focused bursts—15 minutes at a time—which keeps him consistent and prevents overwhelm.
 Build a World, Not Just a Project - • By creating music, stories, and visuals around a central fictional world, Josh finds new ways to stay inspired and expand his creative universe.
 Let Go of Perfect - • A finished piece that's "good enough" beats the idea that never leaves your head. Josh treats creativity like a muscle—small, steady reps matter.
 Routines Protect Creativity - • Morning journaling, evening music sessions, and other small rituals help Josh build momentum and reduce decision fatigue.
 Nostalgia as a Lens, Not a Limitation - • Josh embraces his love of '80s aesthetics not as a gimmick, but as a creative compass that helps him stay aligned with his artistic voice.

How to Keep Creating When Life Gets Busy with Joshua Blum

Joseph Holiday, who releases music as Snakes of Russia, returns to the podcast to talk about his latest album, Swallowed Whole Through the Mouth of Eternity. Joseph's music blends modular textures to create dark, moody, cinematic soundscapes. 
 
In this episode, we talk about how Joseph's approach has evolved since our last conversation, why limitations fuel his creativity, and how visual storytelling influences his sound design. We get into his production workflow, how he finishes music quickly without overthinking, and why his favorite creative moments often come from accidents. We also touch on how the music industry's changing landscape impacts independent artists and why Joseph is focusing more on physical formats and direct fan connection.

Snakes of Russia - Emotion Over Perfection

Tommy Zee runs Tommy Zee and Co., a music production company that creates music for some of the world's largest brands like Nike, Adidas, Google, Sony, and more. He also runs Making Music for Brands, a platform where he teaches producers how to build careers creating music for commercial projects.
 
This is the fourth time I've had Tommy on the podcast, and every time we talk, I walk away feeling inspired and energized. In this episode, we talk about the evolving role of artists in a world increasingly shaped by AI and automation. We explore how commercial work shaped Tommy's discipline, why he's now leaning more into slower, more intentional creativity, and how important it is to stay connected to what truly matters to you as an artist. Toward the end, things get philosophical—and I think that's where some of the richest moments come through.

Tommy Zee - Stop Drinking from the Infinite Well

Tom Cosm is an electronic musician, Ableton Certified Trainer, and the technical co-founder of Telepathic Instruments. Widely known for his early Ableton Live tutorials and inventive use of hacked gear, Tom has built a reputation as a true audio mad scientist—transforming data, brainwaves, and even bugs into expressive sound.
 
In this conversation, Tom shares his journey from early YouTube educator to the co-creator of Orchid, a new instrument, dreamt up by Tame Impala's Kevin Parker, built to spark musical ideas with immediacy and joy. We explore the evolution of his creative philosophy, how tools can invite spontaneity, and what he's learned about music (and life) by building instruments from scratch. 
 
Listen on Apple, Spotify, YouTube
 
Takeaways:
 
 From YouTube to Orchid - • Tom's journey started with early Ableton tutorials on YouTube and led to co-creating Orchid—a creative "ideas machine" that helps musicians quickly generate complex chord progressions.
 Music in Everything - • Whether converting brainwaves, weather data, or the movement of a spider into sound, Tom finds musicality in everyday patterns and natural systems.
 Designing for Play - • Tom emphasizes having fun while making music. Orchid was intentionally built without a screen to encourage tactile exploration and playful interactions.
 Community-Driven Development - • Community has been a constant factor in Tom's work and continues through community-feedback on Orchid.
 Making Time for Music Again - • After years focused on building hardware, Tom is excited to return to making music—starting with 80 unfinished tracks and a fresh wave of curiosity.

 • 
 • 

Creativity Through Constraints – From limiting gear to setting personal rules, Yeuda believes creative boundaries often lead to more original and inspired results.

Ableton Certified Trainer Side Brain

Sarah Belle Reid is a trumpet player, composer, educator, and sonic explorer whose work combines classical performance, experimental electronics, and modular synthesis. With a background in conservatory training and a fearless embrace of improvisation and technology, Sarah's music blurs boundaries—merging extended trumpet techniques, custom-built software, and handcrafted synth patches into deeply expressive, often otherworldly performances.
 
It's great to have Sarah back on the Music Production Podcast! We talk about music as a practice, the joys of unpredictability in modular synthesis, and how constraints lead to creativity. We explore her educational approach and the value of creative curiosity. Sarah reminds us that music-making should be fun and playful!

 Takeaways: • 

Modular as Playground – She uses modular synths not to replicate traditional instruments, but to build interactive environments for sonic exploration.
 • 
 • 

Start with Curiosity – Whether teaching or performing, Sarah emphasizes the power of asking "What happens if…?" rather than chasing specific outcomes.
 • 
 • 

Constraints Create Freedom – Limiting one's tools or techniques can paradoxically unlock deeper creativity and more personal expression.
 • 
 • 

Improvisation as Listening – Sarah sees improvisation not as random playing, but as a form of deep listening—responding to yourself, your tools, and your environment in real time.
 • 
 • 

Bridging Tradition and Tech – With a conservatory background and a DIY ethos, Sarah integrates academic rigor with playful experimentation.
 • 
 • 

Teaching the Inner Artist – Her courses focus on helping students reconnect with joy, experimentation, and the "why" of making music—not just the "how."
 • 
 • 

Sound as Emotional Language – Sarah uses synthesis to explore emotion and identity, encouraging others to find their own voice through abstract sound.
 • 
 • 

Every Patch is a Performance – Even small synth patches hold potential for deep expression. You don't need complexity to create something meaningful.

Sarah Belle Reid - Learning Sound and Synthesis

Mixerman (Eric Sarafin) is a gold and platinum-selling producer, mixer, engineer, and author whose credits include The Pharcyde, Ben Harper, Spearhead, Lifehouse, Barenaked Ladies, and Foreigner. Known for his no-nonsense approach and razor-sharp insights, Mixerman has spent decades working at the highest levels of the industry—both in iconic L.A. studios and now from his mountain home studio in Asheville, NC.
 
In this episode, Mixerman and I dive deep into the role of the producer—what it really means, how it differs from mixing and engineering, and why musical vision always trumps technical perfection. We talk about his new book, Mixerman's Ultimate GUIDE to PRODUCING Records, Music & Songs, and explore everything from the psychology of studio performance to the pitfalls of overthinking and the dangers of letting the gear drive the session. Whether you're just starting out or you've been producing for years, this conversation is packed with practical wisdom, sharp humor, and hard-won truths.
 
Listen on Apple, Spotify, YouTube
 Takeaways: • 

Producing ≠ Mixing ≠ Engineering – Mixerman breaks down the distinct roles and responsibilities of a producer, mixer, and engineer, and why blurring the lines can derail a project if you're not careful.
 • 
 • 

The Producer Is the Artist's Advocate – A great producer champions the artist's vision, not their own. It's not about control—it's about making the best possible record with the artist.
 • 
 • 

Don't Be a Gear-Driven Producer – Focusing on tools over results leads to decision paralysis. Gear doesn't make records—people do.
 • 
 • 

Performance Over Perfection – A technically flawless take is worthless if it lacks feel. Great records are built on compelling performances, not clean edits.
 • 
 • 

Producing Is Emotional Management – Producers aren't just sonic decision-makers—they're emotional barometers. Reading the room and managing personalities is part of the gig.
 • 
 • 

Capture the Spark, Then Get Out of the Way – Sometimes the best thing a producer can do is not intervene. Let the magic happen, then shape it later.
 • 
 • 

The Role of Arrangement – Great production often comes down to arrangement: understanding how to leave space, when to add tension, and how to support the song's emotional arc.
 • 
 • 

Don't Chase a Sound—Chase the Song – Trying to copy other artists' sounds can lead you away from authenticity. The song should dictate the production—not trends or references.
 • 
 • 

Learn to Say "That's the Take" – Knowing when a performance is done (even if it's not "perfect") is part of a producer's superpower.
 • 
 • 

Everything You Need Is Already in the Room – Fancy studios and high-end gear are nice, but great records have been made with far less. What matters is the intention behind the tools.

The ONLY Secret to Making Music...

Jason Timothy Ward runs the site MusicSoftwareTraining.com, where he teaches you how to produce music by not just showing you the tools, but also addressing the mental side. What I love about Jason's work is his ability to deal with the philosophical side of his art. Jason has tremendous insight on how our mind often gets in the way of our work, and offers practical solutions we can all use.
 
In our second conversation, Jason and I pick up where we left off, talking workflow, best practices, and the philosophy of making music. I found it extremely valuable and inspiring. I hope you do too!
