Alan Shepherd - NoizCode

Author: theprocessmusic September 26, 2025 Duration: 30:19
I talk with Alan Shepherd, aka @noizcode , a Rhode Island-based live techno performer and producer. We discuss his performances at @zuzumideast as part of the "Patchwork Series" in Cambridge, MA.

Ever wonder how a strange and beautiful piece of music actually comes into being? The Process: a podcast about creativity and experimental music. pulls back the curtain, offering a rare and intimate look at the minds shaping today's sonic landscapes. Each conversation is built around a specific new work; we listen to excerpts together with the composer who made it, then dive into the how and why behind every choice. These aren't broad career overviews, but focused explorations of a single creative act-the initial spark, the technical hurdles, the moments of doubt, and the breakthroughs. You'll hear from artists working at the edges of contemporary classical and experimental sound, discussing everything from notation and software to the philosophical questions driving their work. This podcast provides a valuable resource for anyone making music themselves, demystifying the path from idea to finished piece. For listeners, it builds a deeper appreciation, transforming unfamiliar sounds into understood stories. Tune in for a candid, composer-led journey into the heart of modern music-making.
