Step into the sonic world of Groove Jones with episode two of Groove Talk, where sound takes center stage. Host Doug Hogan sits down with co-founder Dale Carman and his son, Andrew Carman, the studio’s in-house composer and supervising sound designer. From touring musician to crafting immersive audio for AR and VR experiences, Andrew shares how he turned his lifelong love of music into a career creating unforgettable soundscapes. The conversation dives deep into the art of sound design, the “P channel” of passion that makes creative work resonate, and why the human touch will always matter, even in the age of AI.

Expect stories about pirate skeleton monkeys, leather crafting, restoring vintage gear, and yes, running a synth through an orange to nail the perfect track. It is a celebration of curiosity, craft, and the fearless leap into the unknown that fuels every Groove Jones project.
