In this episode of The Lorenzo's Music Podcast, I meet Keith Marshall, also known as the musician of Key 13, as well as several other music projects. Keith shares his musical background, sparked by the purchase of a NanoKey 2 during the onset of the stay-at-home order. 

We talk about his inspirations, including the backstory of his band name and the eclectic sounds he creates using virtual instruments. Keith also discusses his role in creating the Faircamp Webring and being part of the Bonkwave community. 

We also talk about the role federated platforms have in fostering a collaborative music environment, as well as the concept of Fair Traded Music Friday, which is aimed at promoting independent artists and their releases across federated platforms. 

We also explore the technical side of his music production, including his use of Logic Pro, plugins to achieve guitar sounds, and synth textures. Keith also tells me about his latest compilation, "Pretentious Incongruity," which revisits and remixes his past works.

December snow.

It's snowed a few times this year I don't know why this time felt different.

Still dealing with items.

I had to create a claim on the USPS website for the package in New York. And I had hoped I could ship my laptop from home but the return instructions said it had to be sent from the UPS facility.

Missing label.

When I took the label back to the post office he told me I need to bring my own tape to put it on the package next time. I'm hoping there won't be a next time.

Paint run.

A few years ago scheduling MRI's would consume our whole day . Now we were happy that we could just do something to help other people in some way. Even if it was just driving to get the paint they needed. And we did make it back in time for for Merijoy's appointment.
