Episode 12: Greg Pope Singer-Songwriter / Multi-instrumentalist / Studio Engineer / Record Producer and / Filmmaker, Greg Pope, is as capable with slash job titles as he is with slash pop chords and the slash of a time signature. Greg also makes movies, so I used a few of my questions to find out where his filmmaking and songwriting philosophies meet. It's a cool conversation, with music clips galore. Photo by Asher Pope.
Bonus Talk: Mixed Time Signatures (10 mins.) How come when Burt Bacharach does it it's fine, but if an artist with a rock guitar does it, it risks being labeled as "prog?" In our bonus talk segment, we dug deep into a question about the balance between creativity and accessibility. Bonus Talk: Kiss (6 mins.) Since Greg's song, "Fanboy," name-checks the band Kiss and since a number of my music friends are also Kiss fans, I asked Greg to explain their appeal.
