Recorded on Tuesday, June 23, 2020 at Forbidden City Studios in Beijing, China. This week’s episode features my first guest! Former colleague and good friend Steve Blaque has been in China for nearly 20 years. A singer songwriter and recently and now retired, he agreed to sit down with me for a rather lengthy conversation about music and life in China. This conversation went on a lot longer than both of us expected but, instead of cutting it down, I’ve left just about all of it in and made notes of key points throughout the interview so you can skip through the parts you’re not interested in. Parts of the conversation get really technical about music production so it’s understandable if some people want to skip past those parts but I leave it in because I know a few people who would’ve loved to have the opportunity to sit down and hear how this guy works as a musician. The interview can be broken into two main parts: music and audio production and life in China. Full show notes up on https://www.stevensirski.com/ssp11-singer-songwriter-steve-blaque/
