Radio Ga Ga
I was interviewed for ArtBeat, a local radio show on WUCF, one of Orlando's NPR stations. It was supposed to air on Labor Day but ended up going out on Wednesday. The subject was my video collaboration with Carla Poindexter, which has quickly become my most performed work ever. We've hit a lot of film festivals, will be hitting more (including a big landing at Raindance in London), and are now starting the electronic music festival circuit (EMM, Third Practice, EA Juke Joint).
This is also the interview I used for last week's podcast. You remember the podcast, right?
Anyhow, in an act of shameless self-promotion, here is the interview. You can hear WUCF on 89.9 FM in Orlando for great jazz and NPR stuff.
Enjoy.
