<p>In this episode, a deep and wide-ranging conversation with V<strong>ictor Krummenacher</strong> — songwriter, bassist, and creative heart behind <strong>Camper Van Beethoven</strong>, co-founder of <strong>Monks of Doom</strong>, and a singular voice in alternative music with a remarkable catalog of solo records to his credit.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Victor’s musical journey has always been adventurous, exploratory and deeply human and with that, we talk about <strong>The Third Mind</strong>, his most recent collaborative band that he's a part of with Grammy-winning singer/songwriter/guitarist D<em>ave Alvin</em> (The Blasters), drummer <em>Michael Jerome</em> (Richard Thompson, Better Than Ezra, John Cale), guitarist <em>David Immergluck</em> (Counting Crows, John Hiatt), and singer/songwriter <em>Jesse Sykes</em> (from Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter)</p><br><p>Well past his influential musical career, we talk about the state of art and music-making in the age of AI. Victor shares candid views on why he believes the current AI push may not be the boon many claim will be the future for the creator economy, and what that means for musicians, storytellers, and the future of creative work. The question in my mind is: HOW do we stake out our claim in the creative world where technology threatens to replace the very humanity of real creative energy and effort?</p><br><p> * * * * </p><p>PLEASE FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA:</p><p>Website:</p><p> https://www.TheCApod.com </p><br><p>Facebook:</p><p> https://www.facebook.com/TheCApod/ </p><br><p>Instagram:</p><p> https://www.instagram.com/CreativeAsylumCA/ </p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
