In this episode, I hang out with Luke Schneider. Luke is a pedal steel player, ambient musician, incense maker, and artist at Third Man Records. His ambient shows consist of whimsical, droning tones, musky smells from lit incense, and visually stunning light panels. A custom scent for his shows, connecting smells with sounds was the catalyst for Forestdale Incense. Loveless by My Bloody Valentine shaped his outlook on guitar pedals. Learn how he is cracking the code with unconventional pedal methods. He share’s the importance of knowing your place and not taking someone’s musical direction personally. Routines like running, meditating, affirmations, and reflecting help him find positive ways to channel anger. He offers advice on adapting an, “I’ll figure it out” attitude. Also showing appreciation for the stage crew and everyone behind the scenes that make up the production. Enjoy!
He’s played with a variety of bands including Character, Cortney Tidwell, Caitlin Rose, Lambchop, Turkeys, Natural Child, Lilly Hiatt, Margo Price, William Tyler, Promise Land, Teddy and the Rough Riders, and Orville Peck.
Influences like Neil Young, Ben Keith, Mathew Sweet, Kevin Shields, Beach Boys, Lambchop, the Features, My Bloody Valentine, Robert Fripp, Brian Eno, The Olivia Tremor Control, and Willie Nelson.
