It is with great pleasure that I present a very special 1-hour interview feature on Swedish singer/songwriter/producer, Ernesto!

As a huge fan of his work, it was a joy to speak with him about his musical background, songwriting and recording history, personal beliefs, and the process of putting this album together.

He shares lots of really interesting stories, and coupled with the tunes, I think this feature will give you a nice portrait of the man behind the music.

Chillcast Chat with Matthew Ebel

I’ve been wanting to do some more conversational Skype podcasts like the two I did with Julien Smith (Chillcast/In Over Your Head Special and Chillcast/In Over Your Head Special #2). Turned out that fellow podsafe musician and podcaster, Matthew Ebel, had some time to kill this week while chillin’ in Boston, so we thought it’d be fun to hook up for an informal chat about our common interests – music and podcasting, as well as everything that goes along with doing those things full time. I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we did recording it, and I look forward to your feedback on the idea of me doing Skypecasts more regularly. (BTW, I sure was tempted to call this the High Chill Special…)

Warning: a teensy bit of naughty language sneaks in here and there…
