Process Ep. 1 // Ian Chang Speaks With Bluecoats Drum Corps CEO Mike Scott

For the first installment in a three-part podcast series on Process, Son Lux drummer Ian Chang sits down with Bluecoats Drum and Bugle Corps CEO Mike Scott for a conversation about the unlikely and deeply rewarding creative partnership between Son Lux and Bluecoats.

From their championship-winning reinterpretations of “Changes Everything” and “Lost It To Trying” to their newest collaboration built around Son Lux’s new single, “Endlessly”, Ian and Mike unpack the extraordinary mechanics of drum corps performance: the physicality, precision, latency, logistics, and sheer emotional intensity required to bring these productions to life. Process is not just a path toward the finished work, it is the work.

They also discuss the technical and artistic experimentation behind “Endlessly,” including the challenge of translating Son Lux’s sidechain-gating techniques into a massive live marching production, and how the collaboration ultimately fed back into the song itself.
