Songs of Our Lives
On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Michael Cormier-O’Leary! His project, Hour, has a new record out next month called “Ghost Bridge.” That’s such a great title. We get into all the various meanings behind it plus the process of writing and recording it. Then, we move onto all sorts of bangers from […]
Interviews
Hiram’s music connects spaces and defines worlds. Immersed in specific natural environments, he listens and channels what he hears through different instrumentation. Wooden flute expressions build green waves, melting into synth textures and flecked percussion. He draws the emotive core from wind and birdsong and plants it into slow-moving, reflective compositions, music that pulls inward […]
Interviews
Anita Tatlow’s voice builds worlds. Whispered melodies bloom into spiraling sequences, a living road map that reads like a memoir. On her newest album, the roads that shaped us, she explores the places she hasn’t been swaddled in the context of where she is. It’s a beautiful, drifting meditation on place in the sense of […]

On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s plume girl! Look, I love plume girl’s work a lot. A lot a lot. Her latest with Home Baker, “Every Day I Weave on the Great Loom,” is no exception. We talk about that for a while before digging into Nick Drake, DJ Suzy, Lomelda, Juana […]

Warning to sensitive listeners. This mix contains language and expressions that some might find offensive. I implore anyone that feels this way to read and learn more about the times depicted and to look and listen to the human story and avoid prejudice and preconceived moral constructs. My ideas are personal and if you have […]

Someone whose thought process goes something like, “What would this thing sound like if I attached a string to it and bowed it?” is someone after my own heart. That’s what Jon Rose has done for years. He’s a violinist and composer first and foremost, but over the decades he has acquired and created a […]
For so many, music is a reflective pool. Emotions woven with harmony and exploration become avenues to work through something or find understanding. Deniz Cuylan’s For Luca is a sonic shrine to his dearly departed dog, but it’s also a celebration of small moments that hold immense weight. Wistful melodies are wishes as much as […]
On this episode of Songs of Our Lives, it’s Ótal! I first stumbled on his work via his “Heyr” album sometime last year and have been a big, big fan every since! The Icelandic-born, Akron-based composer has a new record out now called “Fjöður” – big time recommendation! We talk about the processes behind it […]
When I first heard about composer Katherine Young’s Biomes project – this framework for collaboration through composition and improvisation – and its description as an ecosystem, the joy centers in my brain lit up. I mean, yes, scientifically, a biome is an ecosystem, but Young’s presentation of this as a set of rules for sonic […]
