In this episode, John links up with Courtney Barnett and producer Stella Mozgawa to talk about how they wrote, recorded and produced Courtney’s album ‘Things Take Time, Take Time’.Ready with the keys to Courtney’s archive of sofa voice notes and Garageband demos, the pair talk us through the entire album process, from their most valuable moments within pre-production, to the hours in the studio where they had to check if they were losing their minds.Sharing the secrets of the sonics, we hear stories of creating cavernous brass sounds using only a guitar and making fake shakers out of drums, all of which are set alongside the eternal loops sourced from the depths of Stella’s drum machine collection.Listen to find out how to trick yourself into doing the perfect vocal take, what the best state of mind is to help get ideas flowing, and why producing is far from being a dark art. Tracks discussed: Turning Green, Here’s The Thing, Oh The Night Listen to ‘Things Take Time, Take Time’ here.‘Things Take Time, Take Time’ - Marathon Artists Intro Music - Sunshine Buddy, Laurel Collective  LINKS TO EVERYTHING TAPE NOTES https://linktr.ee/tapenotes GEAR MENTIONS Roland TR-606 Roland TR-707Elektron Analog Rhythm MXR Drum ComputerRoland TR-8SRoland CR-8000 Ace Tone Drum Machine FunkBox Drum MachineMPC SamplerEventide H3000Eventide H910Soundtoys Alter BoyShure SM7BShure SM57Korg MinilogueMaton Acoustic GuitarOmnichord Nylon String Guitar (From Mannys Music)KRK Studio MonitorsLeslie Speaker Studer 24-inch Tape MachineGaragebandProToolsAbleton OUR GEARhttps://linktr.ee/tapenotes_ourgear  HELP SUPPORT THE SHOWIf you'd like to help support the show you can donate as little or as much as you'd like here, (we really appreciate your contributions :) Donate KEEP UP TO DATEFor behind the scenes photos and the latest updates, make sure to follow us on: Instagram: @tapenotes Twitter: @tapenotes Facebook: @tapenotespodcast  YouTube: Tape Notes PodcastDiscord: Tape NotesTo let us know the artists you’d like to hear, Tweet us, slide into our DMs, send us an email or even a letter.
