Artificiality: Minds Meeting MachinesJonathan Feinstein: The Context of CreativityWe’re excited to welcome to the podcast Jonathan Feinstein, professor at the Yale School of Management and author of Creativity in Large-Scale Contexts: Guiding Creative Engagement and Exploration.
Our interest in creativity is broader than the context of the creative professions like art, design, and music. We see creativity as the foundation of how we move ahead as a species including our culture, science, and innovation. We’re interested in the huge combinatorial space of creativity, linked together by complex networks. And that interest led us to Jonathan.
Through his research and interviews with a wi...2024-06-0853 min

Artificiality: Minds Meeting MachinesJonathan Coulton: Generative AI, songwriting, and creativityIf you’ve read our show notes, you’ll know that our music was written and performed by Jonathan Coulton. I’ve known Jonathan for more than 30 years, dating back to when we sang together in college. But that’s a story for another day, or perhaps never.
Jonathan spent his first decade post college as a software coder and then through a bit of happenstance and throwing care to the wind, he transitioned to music. In the mid 2000s, he blazed a trail of creating his own career on the internet—without a label or any of the sup...2023-07-291h 01

The Comedian's Comedian Podcast381 - Jonathan CoultonYou might know brilliantly witty and wise singer-songwriter Jonathan Coulton as the writer of the Portal theme “Still Alive”, or from his many viral hits, albums, huge tours, or even his fan-cruise…We talk about "JoCo’s" Thing-A-Week project and how it (combined with a timely fascination for crowd-funding) propelled him from a software career, to one of the kings of online creativity. We also discuss the pros and cons of aiming for viral success, his tool-kit for uncovering catchiness in his music, and why he secretly finds it hard to rock authentically.32 mins of extra...2021-09-241h 22

HansZimmerJukeboxS01E08. Портальные песни Джонатана Колтона: Still Alive и Want You GoneДжонатан Колтон — бывший программист, построивший крутую музыкальную карьеру в гик-роке. Внезапно для самого себя он оказался автором двух песен для супер-популярных игр — Portal и Portal 2. О том, что такого особенного в этих двух песнях и почему они так нравятся людям за пределами геймерской культуры — я расскажу в новом выпуске HansZimmerJukebox.

The Sound TestLeft 4 Dead (w/Mike Morasky, Jonathan Coulton and Ellen McLain)Left 4 Dead, a zombie infested first-person shooter, went into new territory for Valve in 2008. Hinging on a dynamic AI Director, the game reacts to your skill and movements by procedurally generating enemies, events and several other elements. Importantly, music is a huge part of that unpredictability. Mike Morasky eschewed a traditional score in order to play to the game's strengths, constructing a complex system that organically constructs personalised soundtracks for each session. I spoke to Mike for this L4D 1 & 2 special, which also features the Witch herself (Ellen McLain) and Jonathan Coulton - a popular songwriter who contributed to...2018-10-1241 min
Murmur Digital RadioMurmur 91 : Jonathan Coulton "Band of Insiders"SUBJECT : COMMUNITY
Arguably no word nor concept sounds more above inspection than Community. So, of course, let's go. Creator/Musician/Writer Jonathan Coulton has sought out, been part of, builds, and guides his very "own" Community. Sounds great. It is; but there are privileges that can lead to advantages and onward towards exclusions, as every donut has a hole. Groups and groupings are under siege and their diverse whereabouts scream out for dialogue; but fear not — Jonathan helps fill in this space by land and by sea. 2018-09-0900 min
The Sound TestPortal (w/Mike Morasky, Jonathan Coulton and Ellen McLain)With only two games, the Portal series has still managed a gigantic impact on players. Its inventive puzzles are addictive, just like the acerbic jibes of the title's main antagonist, GLaDOS. Behind it all, synth-laden drones and melodic narratives help immerse you into the haunting madhouse of Aperture Science. Its soundtrack was composed primarily by Mike Morasky, who joins me for an exhaustive journey through Portal's audio. I also spoke to Jonathan Coulton, who wrote famed end-credits tracks like "Still Alive" and Ellen McLain, the voice of GLaDOS herself. Together, we leave no stone unturned.

We talk about his singing background, how his career began and progressed, and how you bring your fans with you when your style matures.

Bullseye with Jesse Thorn (donors-only feed)Jonathan Coulton & John Flansburgh / Jane Lynch / John Roderick: The Song That Changed My Life
Taking swings at a creative lifestyle. Jonathan Coulton went from software engineer to successful musician. His new – and first proper -- album was produced by They Might Be Giant's John Flansburgh. One of Coulton's collaborators John Roderick tells us about the song that got him to take his swing at the guitar – Gimme All Your Lovin'. And after taking creative swings at acting throughout her 20s and 30s, Jane Lynch gets her first hit at 40.
2011-10-0359 minBullseye with Jesse ThornJonathan Coulton & John FlansburghFor Jonathan Coulton, success as a musician has come with recording music himself, releasing individual songs online one-at-a-time, and even selling his catalog on a USB drive. So in a way, his new album Artificial Heart is a terrifying turn to the traditional, and a creative risk. It was produced with They Might Be Giants' John Flansburgh in a studio with a full band, the old-fashioned way. Jonathan and John talk to us about that process.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy2011-10-0341 min

Jonathan is such a talented, gracious, humble, funny and generous man. I had so much fun with this interview.

Path 101Path 101 Career Chat with Jonathan Coulton: An unconventional path to musicAn independent musician with the heart of a geek, Jonathan Coulton is a Yale graduate who left his day-job as a computer programmer to stay home and write songs. Between 2005 and 2006 he wrote, recorded, and published a new song every week as a free podcast project called “Thing a Week.” This year-long experiment produced 52 consistently well-written and solidly produced songs, and he soon became an internet sensation. Jonathan’s songs cover unusual topics not often heard in music and tend to make even the most jaded listeners excited about music again.Coulton's is the voice of every elementary school...2009-04-1644 min
You Look Nice TodayFaire du campingIf “penultimate” meant “last,” this would be the penultimate episode of our VSOP series. Thanks again to John Hodgman, Jonathan Coulton, and the sturdy padlocks on the studio doors that prevented their escape.
This episode will be more interesting than average for: farmers, Québécoises, basket weavers, camp counselors, small business owners, and a capella aficionados.
This episode will be less interesting than average for: dancers, hair stylists, carnies, Renaissance buffs, vegans, and criminals.

Screw around with it. Listen to the results. Add some tracks. Screw with it some more. Add some cowbell. Then, since it is already incredibly screwed-with, screw with it one more time. Finally, it seems right! So, here it is. Isaac sings the main vocal line, although his voice is Cher-ized and heavily processed. There is a scratch vocal track of mine in there, but it is beaten to a pulp. Then, an sweet and mellow acoustic guitar turned into something not so...2008-11-2403 min

Why is Kevin Bacon famously uncomfortable around FAX machines?
How does Adam save the world by not wearing shoes?
What are the slam poet’s secret romantic techniques?
Why are short films so long? And also: vice versa?
Why do alfalfa farmers know so much about the Renaissance?
