Natasha is a three-time James Beard Award finalist who published her first cookbook, More Than Cake, earlier this year, and, in another lifetime, did some excellent features for Foxy Digitalis. We have known each other for over […]

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe on the show. After learning about how he first got into soundtracking and scoring work and I tell a story about the time we actually met in person, Robert brings the heat. We wade well beyond the deep end, getting into […]
Track-by-Track
Dijf Sanders’s latest album, SUPRA, is an immersive, imagined sound world. The composer spent part of of 2022 traveling the South Caucasus, exploring the music and everyday sounds of Georgia. SUPRA covers so much ground, travering ethereal sonic realms as easily as folk-infused, organic stomping grounds, but Sanders pulls it all together in an enticing and intricate manner. […]
The Capsule Garden
I can’t believe we’re already in the middle of November. That is absolutely wild. Also wild? As I’m writing this at 4 PM on Tuesday afternoon, there’s an ice cream truck rolling through our neighborhood. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that in November. So that’s a thing now, I guess. This week’s new Songs of Our […]
Tristan Allen is a puppeteer, musician, and world builder. Their new album, Tin Iso & the Dawn, sets the stage for future narratives, sonic investigations, and a sense that something larger lurks out there for all of us. It’s one of the most engaging pieces of work I’ve heard all year, and add into it […]

What a week. It’s not great out there. Bombs and greed are in endless supply. Compassion and empathy, not so much. I don’t even know. Take care of each other. Take care of yourselves. If you need a little distraction and want to laugh, listen to the latest Songs of Our Lives with one of my favorite […]
For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite James Ginzburg on the show. James is a musician, producer, and old friend. He is ½ of emptyset and the founder of Subtext Records. On this episode, we get lost in the strangeness of John Denver’s words, the allure of Arthur Deller’s voice, how freaking […]
VÍZ is the moniker of Hungarian multi-disciplinary artist Réka Csiszér. Following on from last year’s debut, Veils, Csiszér worked with Italian director, Radiana Basso, to create the experimental short film, “Wake up where the clouds are far behind me.” Visceral imagery pairs with creeping sonics and crawling narratives to explore themes of ‘womanhood, disconnection, abortion, alienation, and the […]
Scratchy chord swells overwhelm a looping sense of decay churning beneath the waves of “Night Owl.” Los Angeles’s VESSITT fuses moments of enticing aural drama with a tranquilizing sonic undercurrent. This music has sharp edges around its lithe flow, echoed in the visual dichotomies presented throughout this captivating video. Movement is a constant, bright color […]
When I wrote about Gina Izzo’s spellbinding ladyybirdd project recently, I described it as the Wild West of solo flute music. The deeper I dig into her new album, Tomorrow’s Yesterday, the truer that axiom becomes. Izzo bends flute passages into dazzling, expansive sound worlds buoyed by dancing rhythms and gilded electronics. Adding to the mesmerizing […]
On this episode of the Foxy Digitalis Podcast, Tulsa went off last weekend and my kid got to make her live debut playing a score I wrote. WHAT?! Plus I get together w/ the Hausu Mountain fellas to talk shop, and Natalie Day creates a gentle triumph. The Hausu Mountain one! A meta chat w/ […]
When I first heard Green-House and read the description of Olive Ardizoni’s project back in early 2020 with Six Songs for Invisible Gardens, I felt an instant connection to the music and the ideas it conveyed. Since then, they have harvested growing sonic landscapes that, while adjacent to those early ideas, expand upon them to […]
