The Modern Recordist EP 041 with Cliff Goldmacher

Hey, all you Modern Recordists! I’m SUPER excited to bring you a MONSTER of an episode. This one is heavy-hitting, and full of knowledge bombs from songwriter, producer, author, and educator, Cliff Goldmacher.

Listen Now!

Cliff has been in the business of songwriting and music making for more than 20 years. Throughout his career, he has worked and collaborated with up and coming songwriters, multi-platinum selling artists, and GRAMMY award winners. He’s had songs cut by major label artists in country, pop, and jazz, and his song “Till You Come To Me” went #1 on the jazz charts.

Some of the artists and songwriters Cliff has worked with include, Keb Mo, Ke$ha, Lisa Loeb, Chris Barron of The Spin Doctors, and Mickey Hart of The Grateful Dead.

In addition to all this, Cliff also runs recording studios in both Nashville, TN, and Sonoma, CA, teaches workshops around the country, as well as online through Lynda.com, is the author of “The Songwriter’s Guide To Recording Professional Demos,” and has even done speaking engagements, such as his recent TEDx Talk “Some Things I’ve Learned About Songwriting In 25 Years”

On this episode, Cliff and I talk about what it takes to build a prolific career in the music business over the long game.

Here are a few of the things you will learn about on this episode:

• Learning the songwriting process by writing a lot
• The importance of connecting with people and building authentic relationships
• Keeping focused on the emotional seed of a song to create meaning
• Cliff’s philosophy on “good” and “bad” songs

And that only scratches the surface. Hit play and listen now to soak in all the knowledge Cliff drops on us!
