2022-05-221h 01The Person, The ArtistTPTA12: What You Have to OfferEpisode 12 welcomes in Shlomo Sonnenberg. Shlomo has already begun establishing himself as a go-to for arrangements and productions... and it’s just the beginning. He continues to work on his craft as he delicately balances his own musical intuitions and convictions while also remaining open-minded as he caters to the client’s visions. Undoubtedly, we will hear big things from Shlomo- as a vocalist, musician, composer, arranger, producer, and I'm sure more. I’m glad we were able to connect BEFORE the bandwagon forms.Host: Simcha Kranczer (Psshh...) simcha.tpta@gmail.com 718-887-6211 Guest: Shlomo Sonnenberg shlomosonnenberg@gmail.comOutie: “Av Harachaman”...

Be it arrangements, transcriptions, or even retrieving nuggets of Jewish music history, Binyomin has so much to offer. I’m delighted that he was able to share some insights with us.

2022-02-1420 minThe Person, The ArtistTPTA8: A Melody Should Not Be an Afterthought (short)If the storyline behind a song pulls at your heart enough, does the song itself even have to be good for people to still rave about it? If one finds a singer to be charming, have the listeners already been too smitten to give an objective evaluation of the song? At what point does a particular theme or message or sob story become too cliche and too predictable? At what point do people start treating these as adequate substitutes for a strong melody and for clever lyrics?Laugh & like, support & share, rate & review.Host: Simcha Kranczer simcha.tpta@gmail.com 718-887-6211...
