From time to time people have told me this song helps them process loss or navigating difficult times. It always means a lot to know these lyrics have resonated with people in that way, writing them and the stories in them had a similar effect on me. Thanks to everyone who has listened to this song and shared it with friends.

"Tons of people go into a room somewhere to record a record."
On the latest episode of the Talkhouse Podcast, @son_lux and @dandeacon get to the bottom of one of music's most important questions: is recording in a cabin an interesting story?

Next up in 3Qs is the amazing musician and composer @dandeacon !
He talks about his studio go-tos, top pieces of gear in general, and what’s inspiring him the most.
Excerpts above and below:
[Synth History: What are some of your current go-tos in the studio?
Dan Deacon: I use an Ohrlabs dB meter pretty much all the time. Since I write so many hours a day, I try to mix quieter to avoid fatigue, and having this little LED readout right in front of me keeps me in check. When we were tracking Little Brother at Evergreen Thor Fienberg, the Orchestra Recordist brought one and put it on the desk, and it was such a solid move to make sure our ears didn’t fatigue while doing critical listening. I try to remember to throw it in my bag whenever I’m going to work in a new room.
The 4-710d Four-Channel Preamps have been getting the most use lately in my new space and in my mobile record rack. It’s overkill and too heavy for my mobile rig, but I’m just really into them and love having the matching tone as my first 4 channels at home.
The Earthworks PM40 Piano Mic System has been my favorite mic to use when tracking piano. I first used them a few years ago for the Become A Mountain Ballet at Juilliard for the Disklavier they had, and I really loved how they sounded on the super dense parts. I try to backline them whenever they are available.
I try to look out the window as much as possible and take my eyes off the screen. There’s something about the micro chaos of slightly breezing leaves that dealigns my mind from the loop I’m in and shifts my thinking.
Synth History: What is inspiring you the most right now?
Dan Deacon: After years of planning and setbacks, I’m finally in a new studio space I designed and built out with my friend Nick Wiznewski. It’s a writing room with a reasonable amount of isolation. I didn’t have the money or the space for perfection, but I couldn’t be happier with the space. It’s really awakened a part of me that’s been sleeping since before 2020. I wasn’t really thinking about another album until I set up my desk in here, and now it’s constantly on my mind and in the works.]

It was just a matter of time before Hollywood caught on to what has long been known in Baltimore.
Dan Deacon is a musical polymath—avant-garde artist, dance-party starter, orchestral collaborator, and now, composer to the stars.
In fact, search his name on IMDb and you’ll find 59 credits. Indie films like ‘Strawberry Mansion.’ Blockbusters like Marvel’s ‘Venom.’ Netflix originals like the Adam Sandler sports drama ‘Hustle.’ A plethora of docs from Apple TV to PBS. One of those scores just won an Emmy. For another, a few years ago, he went to the Oscars.
Which means there’s increasing pressure to move to New York or L.A. Since arriving two decades ago, though, Baltimore has always been home. Sure, he now has access to recording studios used by The Beatles. Yet his family’s here. His friends, too. And whenever possible, which is often, he’s bringing them all along with him.
This city shaped Deacon. Staying is important.
“That’s why John Waters is such a hero—not only did John stick around, but he reps it hard, and there’s something to be said about that: not only loving Baltimore, but helping form the scene, and most importantly being informed by it, too.”

In 2023, I had the opportunity to compose the score for @amandamustard and @rachelbetha ’s @hbo Great Photo, Lovely Life.
Track Name: Salesta
The film explores her family and her investigation into her grandfather’s decades of abuse; she was also the director and a key musician performing marimba on the score. The intersection of those roles drove my musical choices and brought the score to places I do not think it would have ventured otherwise.
Track Name: The Journey
Mustard notes, “Dan was always my first choice as composer - his ability to cross musical genres with such innovation matched my desire for this score to reach its utmost creative potential. When I asked if I could play the marimba on the score, he wrote me into my own themes. I had shelved my musicianship to pursue photojournalism and filmmaking, so dusting it off felt like a beautiful reintegration - adding a deeply meaningful layer to the personal nature of this story and process.”
Track Name: Overwhelmed
Now, three years on, the official full score for the film is finally being released.
Track Name: Epilogue

I am excited to announce that the full soundtrack for The Dark Wizard is out today.
I had a lot of fun making this score for Peter Mortimer and Nick Rosen’s documentary about Dean Potter, the groundbreaking yet divisive climber, BASE jumper and highline walker, who pushed the limits of what was possible in climbing and highlining.
This was an incredible project to work on, and I’m really excited to finally have the full soundtrack out in the world. Listen now via the link in my bio.
