#298: Songwriting and Production Retreat with Matt Jones

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Matt Jones is a musician, producer, and songwriter. </span><span style= "font-weight: 400;">I got to know Matt while he was taking my Ableton Live Sampling class at Berklee Online. Late this summer, he organized and participated in the Monterey Songwriting and Production Retreat. Several musicians of various backgrounds (and strangers to each other) gathered at his home to write and produce music together. In this episode, I speak with Matt about the songwriting retreat, how he helped foster a creative spirit, and the lessons he learned along the way.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Listen on</span> <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/music-production-podcast/id1212124420"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Apple</span></a>,<span style= "font-weight: 400;"> </span><a href= "https://open.spotify.com/show/2R5hFhExyUzbI7jD7eauck"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Spotify</span></a>,<span style= "font-weight: 400;"> </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;"> </span><a href="https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9tdXNpY3Byb2R1Y3Rpb25wb2RjYXN0LmxpYnN5bi5jb20vcnNz"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Google</span></a>, <span style="font-weight: 400;">or 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>Bo Burnham Inside - <a href= "https://www.netflix.com/title/81289483">https://www.netflix.com/title/81289483</a></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Brian Funk Website -</span> <a href="https://brianfunk.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://brianfunk.com</span></a></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Music Production Club -</span> <a href="https://brianfunk.com/mpc"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://brianfunk.com/mpc</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </sp
