Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Calvin Turnbull. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Calvin, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today What do you think Corporate America gets wrong in your industry? Any stories or anecdotes that illustrate why this matters?

Well, nowadays it’s hard to even find a time traveling space pirate in corporate America, and when you do they’re usually more about status and money, than the actual adventure side of temporal mayhem. Just look at the new logos, you hardly ever see an actual Jolly Roger. Same thing with record producers, though there are some exceptions, and thank the maker for ‘em, the majority are so concerned with outside perceptions that they force themselves to follow the established industry formulas and create music by committee. Corporate and art do not belong in the same sentence.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

Ironically, as a time traveling space pirate I struggled to find enough time to make the kind of records I had once only imagined possible, but when the Temporal treaty of 2126 was enacted and the draconian time traveling sanctions were put in place, I at last had enough time to begin my greatest adventure,
And so it was in these darkest of days that I set about making authentic records for struggling and marginalized artists. Free of corporate constraints and generic thoughts, we were able to explore all aspects of the recorded musical art form. What might have been considered a time of unbearable temporal confinement, would now become my greatest era of artistic metamorphosis.

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?

Honestly, it was probably the beard. I mean, when it comes to time traveling space pirates, or record producers, it’s really the beard that gets you in the door. But, once you’re in the door, it’s time to deliver. Whether that be temporal mayhem and skullduggery or the pursuit of musical excellence for the sake of art itself.

What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?

Mayhem and skullduggery aside, what really drives me, is a desire to unlock an artist’s unknown potential by providing an atmosphere that fosters fearless exploration of the artistic landscape. Nothing shivers my timbers more than that Eureka moment when an artist stumbles upon the answer to becoming more than the some of their parts.
