Doug Hoyer is a Canadian singer/songwriter who has garnered 1 million Spotify streams and licensed music for television. Doug's work has received critical acclaim and he works by day as a hearing aid practitioner.  I had a great conversation with Doug about his work and techniques for writing and completing music. Doug shared a ton of insights and strategies he regularly uses. He showcased his homemade telephone microphone during the show, and I may have asked him a few too many questions about ear care and hearing health.  Listen on iTunes or Stitcher or Google Play or Spotify; watch on YouTube Show Notes: Doug's Site - https://www.doughoyer.com/ Doug's Album Getting Older - https://doughoyer.bandcamp.com/album/getting-older "Meet Me in the Pale Moonlight" by Doug Hoyer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xN7NLKWol9I The Magnetic Fields - http://www.houseoftomorrow.com/ Shawn Nicholas Savage - https://seannicholassavage.bandcamp.com/ Beverly Glenn-Copeland - https://beverlyglenncopeland.com/ Music Production Podcast #151: What is Your Listener Doing and 13 Musical Emotions - https://brianfunk.com/blog/2020/2/6/what-is-your-listener-doing-and-13-musical-emotions-music-production-podcast-151 MandoBass Free Ableton Live Pack - https://brianfunk.com/blog/2014/9/12/mandobass-free-ableton-live-pack-109 A Journey Inward by Brian Funk - https://brianfunk.com/blog/2020/3/11/my-new-ep-a-journey-inward-is-now-available Brian Funk Website - https://brianfunk.com Intro Music Made with 16-Bit Ableton Live Pack - https://brianfunk.com/blog/16-bit Ableton Live Pack Archive - https://brianfunk.com/blog/ableton-live-pack-archive Music Production Club - https://brianfunk.com/mpc Music Production Podcast - https://brianfunk.com/podcast Save 25% on Ableton Live Packs at my store with the code: PODCAST - https://brianfunk.com/store Thank you for listening.  Please review the Music Production Podcast on your favorite podcast provider!
