HPR1303: A Music Pairing Under Unlikely Circumstances

Today Dave interviews Tim, his son, and Tim's friend John, who is visiting from the USA.

Tim and John met on the Internet in 2006 as collaborating composers of electronic music. They have become good friends over the years; Tim has visited John in the States, in 2011 where they met for the first time in real life, for John's wedding. This also marks the first time that John and his wife Caitlin have travelled overseas, which they did to visit Tim in the UK.

In the podcast we discuss how they met, how their different world views affected each other, and how their relationship quickly transcended music.

Here's a picture of Tim and John visiting Edinburgh Castle in July 2013:

Contrary to what was said in the podcast, Tim prepared a mix of the various compositions he and John have made. Links to some of the full tracks are available below.

Here are Tim's notes for the music mix:
