#284: Producing the Strokes and Crafting a Sound with Gordon Raphael

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gordon Raphael is a highly sought-after musician and producer. He produced <em>Is This It</em> and <em>Room on Fire</em> by The Strokes and <em>Soviet Kitsch</em> by Regina Spektor, amongst countless others. His new book, <em>The World is Going to Love This</em>, documents his work and the exciting stories from the Seattle scene of the 90s through his work with The Strokes, Regina Spektor, and The Libertines.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As the producer for some of my favorite albums of this century, speaking with Gordon was a real treat. He shared studio stories and techniques used with The Strokes. Gordon emphasizes the importance of keeping an open mind to new possibilities and unconventional ways of working to create timeless and emotionally impactful sounds.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Listen on</span> <a href= "https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/music-production-podcast/id1212124420"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">iTunes</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">or</span> <a href= "http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/music-production-podcast?refid=stpr"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Stitcher</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">or</span> <a href= "https://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/Ip424c7a3w32gzox6c2bnwexy3q"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Google Play</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">or</span> <a href= "https://open.spotify.com/show/2R5hFhExyUzbI7jD7eauck"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Spotify</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">; watch on</span> <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLk4jo7_Rx2-2mjUoTXTL4u0iUH5_XqBYi"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">YouTube</span></a></p> <p><strong>Show Notes:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Gordon's Site - <a href= "https://www.gordotronic.com/">https://www.gordotronic.com/</a></li> <li><em>The World is Going to Love This</em> by Gordon Raphael - <a href= "https://www.wordville.net/product-page/the-world-is-going-to-love-this"> https://www.wordville.net/product
