Artist Interview: The Boy Who Held His Breath - Almost Fridays 01/04/21

Really Nice Podcast

Season 2 of Almost Fridays kicks off on April Fools this this week https://fb.me/e/7hABZtoFQ! & we have something of a first! What is it, you ask??? One of our Live Remixers: Adrian Elmer, AKA The Boy Who Held His Breath (TBWHHB) https://theboywhoheldhisbreath.bandcamp.com/album/modes-of-limited-transposition, is launching his mini album in an entirely novel way, novel like LOTR trilogy. Here’s how: Within the context of Live Remixing ie. recording samples of our musical artists, and creating original beats & soundscapes, TBWHHB will be interleaving his freshly baked creations into a layer cake of pieces from his album! Is it a melange, or is a meringue? 🎂🥧🍋🍮🍧👨‍🍳 You must decide for yourself.

Adrian provides us with many fascinating topics including multi-modal, interdisciplinary collaboration, stereo artwork, & co-mixing a record between two people, one person mixes the left side, one person mixes the right side! WUT!? How about: What makes you a valid artist? Where is the line in the sand? How much output do you need to churn out to be eligible for your “I am officially a prolific artist” card!? As always, we take a walk down Lujan’s Alley.
