Episode 6: Kría
1/18/2023
In 2019, 6 months before the covid pandemic, I spent a month in Iceland collecting field recordings and making music.

I'm a composer and sound artist whose approach to music has changed radically in the last few years.

In this inaugural episode of Burning the Thrushes, I tell the story of my time in Finland in 2017 and how it led to a change in the way I think of (and create) music.
