  • The No Normal Podcast Interview

    In August 2024, I recorded an interview with composer and educator Reid Contreras Woelfle for New Music Edmonton‘s The No Normal podcast. Grateful for the chance to expand on where I’m at, four years into this chapter, the rebirth. Available on SoundCloud (see below) and as an Apple podcast.

    Re Mi Do
    ‧ an affirmation to my first born
    ‧ the first three notes of the musical signal from the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind
    ‧ three key signature areas (re for D/D-flat, mi for E major/minor, and do for C) where songs in the mix are grouped together. I’ve used the technique of harmonic mixing/selecting to unite or contrast songs.

    The copyrights for these recordings are the intellectual property of the artists, though the corporations take the credit and the money. I own nothing. Support music.
