I'm pleased to start the Inner Circle Podcast's new year off with film composer Richard Gibbs. My good friend has had a notable career, from playing with the LA cult band Oingo Boingo, to playing on hundreds of records as a session musician, to composing the music for television shows like The Simpsons and Battlestar Galactica, and over 30 films.

Not only that, Richard owns one of the most innovative studios on the planet (Woodshed Recording), ranking in my personal Top 5.

In the intro I'll also talk about the tax credits for music production offered by the various states, and a study that scientifically determines why we like music.
