Episode 79: Multiplicity of Tasks Management

Welcome to Episode 79 of the "Electronic Odyssey," a weekly podcast that immerses you in the vibrant world of cutting-edge electronic music. As a creator, I've embarked on this sonic journey to not only share my evolving musical creations but also to foster my own creative growth. This week's episode, recorded on Thursday, September 7, 2023, presents a unique twist in our usual format. Amidst my commitment to a parallel visual art project of crafting a digital drawing each day for the next 100 days, my creative workflow faced a delightful pinch. In response, I've delved into a captivating soundscape adventure, where my synthesizer takes the lead in crafting an intricate musical tapestry.

In this episode, we explore the mesmerizing world of synthesized soundscapes. The core of our musical voyage rests upon the capabilities of my synthesizer, an electronic marvel that allows me to conjure multiple layers of sound and intricate rhythm patterns. The synthesizer becomes my artistic palette, responding to the notes I play on my keyboard, weaving them into complex auditory landscapes that transcend conventional boundaries. With each keystroke, I shape the sonic environment, invoking emotions, and stories that resonate with listeners.

Within this musical odyssey, we encounter a rich tapestry of sound layers. Each layer is carefully composed, adding depth and texture to our sonic canvas. The synthesis of various elements, from ethereal pads to pulsating rhythms, forms a dynamic spectrum of auditory experiences. As we journey through the episode, you'll find yourself immersed in a sonic world where every sound has a purpose, every rhythm has a heartbeat, and every note tells a story.

This episode not only showcases my electronic music but also reveals the dance of creativity that occurs when art forms intersect. Balancing my commitment to daily visual art creations with the demands of my podcast has catalyzed an unexpected, yet fruitful fusion. It serves as a testament to the boundless nature of artistic expression, where one medium can inform and inspire another, leading to unique and unexpected outcomes.

In Episode 79 of "Electronic Odyssey," we invite you to join us on this exploration of sound and creativity. It's a testament to the power of art to push boundaries and inspire growth. Whether you're a seasoned electronic music aficionado or simply curious about the intersection of art forms, this episode promises an auditory adventure like no other.

Profile picture for Nathan Eckenrode

Nathan Eckenrode

From the womb to the stage, N8K99's life has been a symphony of diverse musical experiences. His journey began with melodies echoing in his mother's womb during her piano recitals and evolved through debates over musical alphabets in kindergarten. N8K99's early classical training under his mother's tutelage seamlessly transitioned into a passion for the improvisational freedom of Free Jazz, idolizing legends like Maynard Ferguson, Miles Davis, and Chet Baker. His teenage curiosity led him to a pawn shop guitar, igniting a spark that would illuminate his path through various musical endeavors.
Post-Navy life found N8K99 in Jacksonville, Florida, where punk rock's raw energy collided with his burgeoning talent, resulting in a series of ephemeral bands. New York City called next, presenting a harsh reality of talent and competition. His days oscillated between roles as a PA, bike messenger, book mover, and the occasional subway busker, honing his skills in the city's vibrant music scene. A chance encounter with Wu Tang Clan during a jam session marked a turning point, embedding a sense of belonging within the industry's fabric.
N8K99's musical style defies categorization, a testament to his journey across genres and geographies. His sound is an eclectic blend, rooted in classical music theory, adorned with jazz improvisation, and electrified by electronic production. He finds solace and challenge in his podcast, "Living Room Music by N8K99," a weekly expedition into new musical territories, collaborating with local Hip Hop artists, exploring emotional tones, and experimenting with various modalities.
Despite his mastery, N8K99 remains the industry's "invisible man," focusing on the art rather than the fame. His elusive double album "Chromatic Depression" whispers of his presence in the digital music realm, but it's his dedication to the craft that truly defines him. N8K99's vision extends beyond personal acclaim; through Eckenrode Muziekopname, he aspires to elevate Jacksonville's local talent, creating a digital collective to champion and disseminate their artistry globally.
With his feet firmly planted in Jacksonville, N8K99 envisions a future of continued musical exploration with his band Radio Poets, his podcast, and EM. His ambition is not of glittering fame but of a sustainable, fulfilling musical journey, evolving as a Middle Class musician who navigates the industry's tides with a whimsical yet determined spirit.
