A podcast covering all things related to music production: from the first note to the last fan and everything in between.  We create music and inspire others to do the same.  Every episode is a live business meeting between me and Dan (me and Keith) as we build this media empire right before your very eyes/ears.

In this episode we discuss:


In this episode we discuss our plans to revive and produce Oliver’s Musical Genius.

Oliver’s Musical Genius was my high school band.  We throw around some story ideas. One story idea that we mentioned was the heroes journey. As a framework for the overall story.

It is most basic sense, story of Oliver’s Musical Genius is the story of a band formed in Brooklyn, New York, in one universe then transported to another where they are part of the journey to earn the coveted spot of the resident musical entertainers of the court of a king named Oliver. And that’s why the band is called Oliver’s Musical Genius because every time they are called upon to perform for the court they are introduced as Oliver’s Musical Genius.

It’s kind of like Freaks and Geeks meets Dungeons and Dragons

Absurd narratives and conceptual continuity. - Daniel Kutcher

My character is going to be named Josh “Flaco” Seigel

Information for Olivers Masters office master document

The main character is Josh “Flaco” Seigel.

A band is being formed

The backstory of the main character Josh Flaco Seigel is that when he was (this is kind of like the superhero origin story of Josh). When Josh was a little kid they he went for an IQ test and the testers would not reveal his score because they felt that it would impact how he was raised either positively or negatively. So, the main plot point is that no one can really tell if this person is a genius or idiot and there are legitimate moments where is behaves in both fashions. There are times when he presents real intellect and sensitivity and there are also moments where he presents massive stupidity and lack of awareness.

Dan’s character is the advisor. The chief advisor to the king.  The inside man.  He is a consultant to the king and the bands and he has his own agenda.

A great idea for the show would be to have it be a serial like the old anime Voltron where there’s a different bad guy each time but it’s actually a band, a real band, and it’s sort of like a anime battle and battle of the bands simultaneously.
