Hey friend! Just so you're aware, Dispatch is complete and no longer producing episodes. Please enjoy the archives, and maybe take a listen to my current work.

#16: City States

Published On

It’s 2013, and musicians carry more weight today than ever before. Musicianship, production, and distribution are often the concern of an individual (or a small cadre of bandmates), rather than a corporation. For some, this represents power to choose, while others see it as unnecessary cruft that slows their creative process.

Our guest this week is Joel Ebner of the Chicago-based band, City States. He joins Joshua and Nicholas fresh from the band’s first mixing session for their first full-length project.

He discusses the band’s formation, how his digital workflow enhances creativity, and how to balance promotion with your other duties. If you’re a musician, or work in the media industry, this episode is not to be missed.
