Misha Mansoor joins the podcast to talk about songwriting and production choices for his progressive metal band Periphery and electronic music duo Four Seconds Ago. In this interview we discuss how drummers are setting a high bar for others to aim at, how difficult the mixing process can be, and whether originality is important in music.
