#98 Joe Goddard (Hot Chip)

HearSej

Seja talks to her guest Joe Goddard (Hot Chip) about his new solo album Harmonics and all the amazing collaborators on the album. They talk about keeping electronic music interesting both in the studio and live, how having someone else listen to your music can change the way you hear it too, and how to harvest the energy in the room when working with a collaborator. Joe tells Seja about working with Katy Perry, Jarvis Cocker, Peter Gabriel, Robert Wyatt, Sleaford Mods and Brian Eno. They chat about how Joe owns Seja’s dream synthesiser (Yamaha CS-80), getting ideas down quickly, how hard editing down is and how to know when a song is done. Joe’s strange show story was illustrated by @matthewthegardener. You can see more of his stuff on instagram @matthewthegardener. All illustrations can be seen on instagram @hearsejpodcast or on the HearSej facebook page.
