Subscribe to the show on: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | YouTube Podcasts | RSS

In this episode of The Lorenzo's Music Podcast, I meet Keith Marshall, also known as the musician of Key 13, as well as several other music projects. Keith shares his musical background, sparked by the purchase of a NanoKey 2 during the onset of the stay-at-home order. 

We talk about his inspirations, including the backstory of his band name and the eclectic sounds he creates using virtual instruments. Keith also discusses his role in creating the Faircamp Webring and being part of the Bonkwave community. 

We also talk about the role federated platforms have in fostering a collaborative music environment, as well as the concept of Fair Traded Music Friday, which is aimed at promoting independent artists and their releases across federated platforms. 

We also explore the technical side of his music production, including his use of Logic Pro, plugins to achieve guitar sounds, and synth textures. Keith also tells me about his latest compilation, "Pretentious Incongruity," which revisits and remixes his past works.

Artwork for the original Candy Land game by Milton Bradley from 1955.

I have a vintage Candy Land game from 1955 by Milton Bradley and I was about to sell it so I thought I would add it to my personal art history course concept I've been doing .

Some history about artist Alex Toth

So recently I decided I was going to try and learn something about each item in my toy collection and the artwork behind it . Kind of like my own impromptu art history class. Then I'm going to sell it so I can start collecting more! :) Moltar One of the first things I put up for sale was this Space Ghost Coast to Coast Moltar Action Figure from back in 2000. By the way, I learned a valuable lesson when shipping this item to the person who bought it. Never let the people at the post office touch your collectibles! The Space Ghost Coast to Coast show actually used the original artwork from the Hanna Barbera Space Ghost cartoon from the 1960s. Those characters were designed by Alex Toth . I knew his name but didn't really know anything else about him. Here is a sketch I did of Moltar on my phone. So I decided for my first art history lesson I would do a little bit of research on Alex Toth . he died at his drawing table on May 27, 2006, from a heart attac...
