Send us a Text Message.I don’t actually watch a lot of TV but I do love an entertaining , well written and produced show. I’m not sure how I stumbled upon White Lotus but it would be one of my top picks for a  ‘must see’, they take chances.  It has smart humor, and more over some of the most original, accessible, and inviting music on television. The composer behind the score is Chilean-Canadian film  composer Cristobal Tapia de Veer or as I have come to know him ‘Cristo’ Cristo is not what you think of as a typical film composer… what I mean is that he is an experimenter, creating sounds from nothing , combining textures, defining rhythms and finally happily marrying them to picture doing more than creating an ambiance.  Cristo’s music helps to define the scene or cue, it helps to breathe life into it.Visit GIG with Mike Redman @https://www.gigwithmikeredman.com/podcastsEmail me questions, guests you would like to see @ : [email protected] for listening !Mike Redman

Send us a Text Message.I had a casual conversation with legend Josh Rabinowitz, who Fast Company  called the new music mogul  the Cannes Music Jury calls, a musical genius.As many of you know, I made a great living, writing music, primarily for advertising, because that's where the real money was at the time. What you don't know is that I spent several of those years trying to get the attention of Josh. At Grey Advertising he was a legend, untouchable, probably because his time was in such high demand . He's well-connected and he’s an expert in his field working with the who’s who in the music industry and from what I hear a great trombone player.Visit GIG with Mike Redman @https://www.gigwithmikeredman.com/podcastsEmail me questions, guests you would like to see @ : [email protected] for listening !Mike Redman

Send us a Text Message.Hi  everybody welcome to GIG I'm your host, Mike Redman. I grew up in the days when rock bands ruled the world and I lived in the South in Richmond, Virginia. One of my favorite Southern Rock bands was '38 Special'. Still to this day they're one of the hardest working rock bands in the country playing about 100 dates the drummer in the band is powerhouse Gary Moffat,  and I'm happy to say a  longtime friend of mine. When Garry plays, you can tell that he puts every fiber of his body into it. Today I'm happy to have Gary on GIG to share his thoughts about drumming, touring, soloing, and his family '38 Special'. http://garymoffatt.com/biography.aspxhttps://38special.com/Visit GIG with Mike Redman @https://www.gigwithmikeredman.com/podcastsEmail me questions, guests you would like to see @ : [email protected] for listening !Mike Redman

Send us a Text Message.Today on GIG we explore into the magical world of sound for film and more specially the job of supervising sound editor Gwen Whittle. With a career spanning several decades, Gwen has shaped sound landscapes for some of the biggest blockbuster films of our generation like "Avatar" and "Top Gun,” Gwen's  career is not just marked by her association with cinematic blockbusters or the 5 Academy Awards she probably has sitting on the fireplace in her living room. It’s the relationships that she’s has created along the way with her team which she refers to as   ‘Family’ …   that's what is most important to her.IMDBVisit GIG with Mike Redman @https://www.gigwithmikeredman.com/podcastsEmail me questions, guests you would like to see @ : [email protected] for listening !Mike Redman
