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 the enigmatic wonder of Yoko Ono, the lyrical brilliance of Damon Locks, Sade always bringing the mood, the beauty behind “Chemirocha,” and why you just can't do it anymore with one of the greatest pop songs ever.Listen to all of Robert's picks HERE“Grasshopper Republic” Score“Grasshopper Republic” Film“Telemarketers” ScoreRobert Aiki Aubrey Lowe's BandcampRobert Aiki Aubrey Lowe on InstagramSongs of Our Lives is a podcast series hosted by Brad Rose of Foxy Digitalis that explores the music that's made us and left a certain mark.

On this episode of the Foxy Digitalis Podcast, I don't really talk about the new Andre 3000 album, but I know a lot of people are excited about (myself included!), so maybe next time. The morning before I recorded this, I woke up early, got lost in the fog, and ended up writing a new Charlatan song around daybreak - and it was so, so nice. Go over to the Patreon to give it a listen!But, TWO - count' em TWO - albums of the week since the podcast will be off next week (holiday vibes), and it's my show so I can do whatever I want. Both are gems, and I listened to them back-to-back yesterday (Melford then Kowalsky) and it REALLY worked. Highly recommend that.Then, jump to about 15 minutes if you want to get straight to my conversation with Markus Floats about his latest album, “Fourth Album.”Albums of the Week:Myra Melford's Fire & Water Quintet “Hear the Light Singing”Gregg Kowalsky “Eso Es”This Week's Links:Markus Floats “Fourth Album”Markus Floats InstagramFoxy Digitalis is an online music resource and organization promoting music in the margins with the idea that sound is for everyone.

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Niecy Blues on the show! Their new album, “Exit Simulation,” is one of 2023's most astonishing debuts.

A full-house today in the Foxy Digitalis zone. A quick recap on the opening week(end) of my exhibition, “The Sound Leaves,” which was among the best times I've had in a while. I need to do more of that! Plus there's some real bangers out this week, especially my Album of the Week from the great Lau Nau.

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Patrick Shiroishi on the show. It would take a novel to list all the incredible things Patrick is doing these days, but notably he has new album out this week, “I was too young to hear silence” on American Dreams. He's also a member of The Armed, and has a dizzying array of collaborative projects on every single burner. We get into the wild backstory of Doraemon, the power of a wordless chorus, teenage screamo dreams, the levels of K-Dot, and our hopes of a new Joanna Newsom album in 2024.Listen to all of Patrick's picks HEREI was too young to hear silencePatrick Shiroishi's WebsiteThe ArmedSongs of Our Lives is a podcast series hosted by Brad Rose of Foxy Digitalis that explores the music that's made us and left a certain mark.

I've often wondered, while listening to any number of Carlos Niño's projects or records, what a typical day of his looks like. I used that as a jumping off point to talk to him about collaboration and working as a producer, particularly his involvement with Thandi Ntuli's beautiful new record, Rainbow Revisited. He shared stories about what drew him to her sound, touring Europe with Laraaji, and the community that makes his work hum. Carlos's latest record, (I'm just) Chillin', on Fire is out now on International Anthem.(I'm just) Chillin', on FireRainbow RevisitedCarlos Niño on Bandcamp***Please Note that this is the last stand-alone Seltzer Salon episode as future conversations will now be part of the Foxy Digitalis Podcast***The Seltzer Salon is a concise, conversational podcast hosted by Brad Rose and produced by Foxy Digitalis.

Zekarias Musele Thompson made one of my favorite records of 2022, Goodnight Shiva (Atlantic Rhythms), but that only scratched the surface of the work they are doing in the worlds of art and sound. Through Working Name Studioes, Thompson fosters a community built around connecting with each other and ourselves through material and conceptual art practice. It's important work that continues to grow and evolve through events, releases, gatherings, and more. They also continue working on their own solo work, with a new album on the distant horizon.Working Name StudiosSupport Working Name StudiosGoodnight ShivaInterview on Foxy DigitalisReview on Foxy DigitalisThe Seltzer Salon is a concise, conversational podcast hosted by Brad Rose and produced by Foxy Digitalis.

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.

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 build a deeper conceptual framework. Green-House is now a duo with Ardizoni and Michael Flanagan, and on their new album, A Host for All Kinds of Life, the sharpest aural fields emerge. Ardizoni and Flanagan create inviting soundscapes that may have a gentle surface sheen, but inside are infinite folds, exploring the radical nature of joy and pleasure in an ever-darkening world. I was thrilled to talk to Ardizoni about these ideas and the gilded edges this music carves.A Host For All Kinds of LifeThe Seltzer Salon is a concise, conversational podcast hosted by Brad Rose and produced by Foxy Digitalis.

After a week off (to put all the focus on Songs of Our Lives), The Seltzer Salon returns with a real heavy hitter. Vinny Golia is an all-time great. A composer, multi-instrumentalist, big thinker, teacher, and so much more, all of these facets show up in his project, Even to This Day. The second Movement, Syncretism: For The Draw, is out now and stretches across nearly 12 hours and 110 tracks. Collaborators include Susan Alcorn, Chas Smith, Nels Cline, Alkis Nicholadis, and so many more. It's a sprawing, magnificent document. Golia talks about contributing to the positive vibrations of the universe, a notion that resonates with me, and it's a jumping off point for this conversation (along with so many other things).Even to This Day, Movement Two: Syncretism, For The DrawThe Seltzer Salon is a concise, conversational podcast hosted by Brad Rose and produced by Foxy Digitalis.
