Denison Witmer is a singer/songwriter and woodworking from Lancaster PA and longtime collaborator of Sufjan Stevens, who has been releasing records for 20+ years acclaimed by the likes of NPR and Stereogum, and ran a recording studio in Brooklyn before returning to PA. We talk to Denison about the value of creative documentation, leaving behind the external stimulation of the city (Brooklyn) and how returning to relative quiet (Lancaster) shook up his creativity, embracing imperfection, the parallels and contrasts between woodworking and record making, putting systems in place to be the person/artist you want to be, patience, and a whole lot more.Get more access and support this show by subscribing to our Patreon, right here.Links:Denison WitmerSufjan StevensSaltlandsDawn LandesFelix McTeigueChappel RoanCharles MingusEp 85 - Caroline SpenceEp 39 - Joe HenryMLS DocCavan SullivanClick here to watch this conversation on YouTube.Social Media:The Other 22 Hours InstagramThe Other 22 Hours TikTokMichaela Anne InstagramAaron Shafer-Haiss InstagramAll music written, performed, and produced by Aaron Shafer-Haiss.

On this week's episode of the Talkhouse Podcast, we've got a pair of fantastic songwriters and friends who travel in the same musical circles, and who've both released disarmingly charming records recently: Clairo and Hannah Cohen. Clairo has been making music since she was a teen, and her songs and sounds have a remarkable depth and breadth of influence, from ‘70s soft-rock to more worldly sounds. Her early viral success pointed to a pop-star trajectory, but Clairo always seems to choose a more interesting sonic path over the more obvious one. Her third album, Charm, came out last year, and it leans into a bit of slinky groove more than she had in the past. Check out the song "Juna" right here. The other half of today's conversation is Hannah Cohen, who tapped a bunch of cool guests—including Clairo—to help out on her new album. Earthstar Mountain is Cohen's first in more than five years, and you can hear the care she put into it: It's an understated but deeply considered ode to her surroundings, the Catskills—and it sounds like that area feels. She made the record with her partner Sam Evian—a Talkhouse alum himself—at their upstate New York studio, Flying Cloud. It doesn't sound rushed, which is a topic you'll hear in this chat. In addition to Clairo, it features a guest appearance from Sufjan Stevens. Check out the song “Rag” right here. These two friends get right into a delightful chat that covers Cohen's record, including the mushroom that inspired its title. They also chat about how working on music with your romantic partner can be its own form of therapy, and they get deep into soundtracks toward the end, tossing around the idea of making one, even without a movie to hang it on. Enjoy. Chapters: 0:00 – Intro 2:02 – Start of the chat 2:30 – On mushrooms and 'Earthstar Mountain' 8:55 – Cohen on making music with her romantic partner, Sam Evian 12:30 – "Artists are so in tune with things on whole different level" 19:20 – On the song "Rag" 24:45 – "Take what you need from [my] songs; find your own meaning" 30:05 – On soundtracks Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast, and thanks to Hannah Cohen and Clairo for chatting.

En marzo de 2015, Sufjan Stevens publicó 'Carrie & Lowell', un disco que lo tenía todo para ser un clásico instantáneo por su tono íntimo y confesional, y su minimalismo acústico. Es un retrato íntimo de su infancia, el amor y la pérdida, el abandono y el perdón, la familia biológica y la elegida, la vida y la muerte. Sufjan Stevens abrió su álbum de fotos familiar y todos nos encontramos un poco entre aquellas imagenes. Una obra que sigue resonando con una profundidad única y de la que se anuncia una reedición ampliada para celebrar una década de la cima de su carrera. Playlist:Sufjan Stevens - Should Have Known BetterSufjan Stevens - Mystery of Love (Demo)Denison Witmer, Sufjan Stevens - Focus RingPerfume Genius - Full OnFlorist - JellyfishSaya Gray - PUDDLE ( OF ME )Guitarricadelafuente - Futuros amantesCarlos Ares - Días de PerrosEartheater, Shygirl - Shark BrainAvalon Emerson - Treat ModeBlood Orange, Yves Tumor, Ian Isiah - Smoke (Logic1000 DJ-Kicks Remix)Butcher Brown - IbizaKali Uchis - Sunshine & RainTennis - ...

Running and poetry are all Denison Witmer needs as a songwriter."When I'm being physically active, my brain opens up," he says. Running is a big part of Witmer's life and plays a big role in his creative process. The other major source of Witmer's inspiration is poetry, and we talk about its impact on his songwriting. We also make a collective case for why the poet Li-Young Lee is so, so, so great and why you should read him right after you listen to this episode. Denison Witmer's new album Anything At All  (produced and recorded by Sufjan Stevens) is out now on Asthmatic Kitty Records. 

En este episodio de La Teoría de la Mente, nos adentramos en un tema profundamente humano: la relación con nuestros padres, o con su ausencia, y cómo esto moldea quiénes somos. Hoy, a través de la música de Sufjan Stevens y su conmovedora canción Death with Dignity, exploramos las complejidades de una vida marcada por la presencia y la falta de los padres. La canción abre el álbum Carrie and Lowell, una obra dedicada a la memoria de su madre, Carrie, que sufría de esquizofrenia y depresión. Tras su partida de la vida de Sufjan siendo él solo un niño, y su eventual fallecimiento en 2012, el artista reflexiona sobre el dolor, los recuerdos y el cierre que nunca llegó de manera perfecta. Pero como veremos, incluso en la ausencia, los padres siguen presentes de una manera única, transformando el tejido emocional de nuestras vidas. También profundizamos en el trabajo del psicoanalista Donald Winnicott y su concepto de "objetos transicionales", como los peluches de la infancia que ayudan a calmar la ansiedad ante la separación parental. Esos objetos que dejamos atrás, ¿cómo son reemplazados en nuestra adultez? ¿Por qué a veces elegimos relaciones que nos dañan? Todo esto tiene una raíz que proviene de nuestro pasado familiar y la manera en que intentamos "reparar" lo que una vez nos hizo falta. Pero no todo es pérdida y dolor. Incluso en medio de las historias más complicadas, a veces permanecen destellos de amor, buenos recuerdos y momentos de conexión que, aunque escasos, nos ayudan a sanar. Sufjan Stevens nos recuerda que ser hijo o hija no es algo que desaparezca, incluso cuando los padres ya no están, y que la vida está llena de oportunidades para crear nuevas narrativas que no siempre se ajustan a los dramas familiares que nos precedieron. ¿Y tú? ¿Recuerdas a tu peluche favorito? ¿Qué historias y emociones te traen los recuerdos de tu infancia y cómo han influido en tus relaciones actuales? Hoy, nos proponemos reflexionar sobre nuestras propias historias y sobre la importancia de construir nuevas relaciones que no estén atrapadas en las sombras del pasado.

Conhecido por contar boas histórias, Sufjan Stevens lançou em março de 2015 seu registro mais pessoal: “Carrie & Lowell”. Inspirado pela morte da própria mãe, que lidou a vida toda com problemas relacionados ao abuso com drogas, depressão e esquizofrenia, o álbum parte de um olhar melancólico sobre a infância do músico norte-americano para consolidar um dos trabalhos mais sensíveis dos últimos anos. Para celebrar o aniversário de dez anos do disco, Cleber Facchi (@cleberfacchi) e Luiz Machado (@machadolue) voltam no tempo para conversar sobre o processo de produção do material que revelou canções como "Should Have Known Better" e "Fourth of July".Gostou do podcast?

She also explains the ways in which both the music and lyrics of Carrie & Lowell tell a compelling story.

Shara Nova is the creative force behind this hugely influential indie pop solo project.  She as worked with Sufjan Stevens, David Byrne, and Laurie Anderson.

"Anything At All" Since the late '90s, the Pennsylvania-born musician Denison Witmer has been quietly producing one of the most stirring and affecting bodies of work in modern music. That body of work is also one of the most consistent. With close to fifteen albums under his belt, including Of Joy And Sorrow, Philadelphia Songs and The Ones Who Wait, Witmer's music brings to mind the work of everyone from Paul Simon to John Martyn to Elliott Smith. The Lancaster native has collaborated with everyone from The Innocence Mission to Rosie Thomas, he's toured the U.S. and Europe, did a side project called The River Bends with members of One Star Hotel, and he's been recording for Sufjan Stevens' Asthmatic Kitty label since 2011. Produced by Stevens, his new album Anything At All is his first since 2020's American Foursquare and it's a gentle stunner. From the rousing opener "Focus Ring" to the contemplative "Slow Motion Snow" Anything At All is filled with tremendous sensitivity and poetic elegance. It's a meditation on time, family, and art and rather than stress out about the sand falling through the hourglass, it chooses instead to examine each grain as it falls. It's brave, unflinching and glorious work. www.denisonwitmer.bandcamp.com (http://www.denisonwitmer.bandcamp.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.bombshellradio.com www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Stereo Embers IG and BLUESKY: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

I thought it would be fun to do a year-in-review of the music of 2024 with my friend James McCrae. Neither of us are music experts, but we're constantly sharing music with each other. James first came on the show in 2020, when we did a similar review of the music from that wild quarantine year when artists weren't touring and we all missed live shows. Fast forward to 2024, and we chat about what we've noticed over the last five years, including the changes in the music industry, trends we've seen, and of course, what we've had on repeat.James, a Bob Dylan super-fan, talks about his evolving tastes, new genres, and how pop and hyperpop have influenced his music choices. He also shares his insights on the current music scene and the role of streaming, social media, and live performances.James is an author, poet, artist, and founder of Sunflower Club, a global community dedicated to conscious creativity. He's the author of several books, including The Art of You, which we discussed last year. Show notes:- My Substack- IG: @letitouttt + @katiedalebout- James: Web | Instagram | new book The Art of YouOur 2024 episode after his latest book came out - James' other books here & here- Bandsplain  & Yasi Salek's Go Fund Me- Good comprehensive list of how to help LA by my friend Kate: here- My Creative Clinic: book a call with me here- Music mentioned:Charli xcxOlivia Rodrigo - so americanChappell Roan - CasualSabrina Carpenter - TasteBeyoncé - BodyguardGracie Abrams - I Love You, I'm SorryBlondshell - Kiss CityYo La Tengo - Before We Run Adrianne Lenker - Big Thief's Vampire EmpireWishy - SpinningWet Leg - Wet DreamMJ Lenderman - WristwatchBrennan Wedl - I Wanna Be Your TVWaxahatchee - 3 Sisters If you liked this episode, try out from the archive:Episode 321: 2020 Music with James McCrae

Annie Clark, known as St. Vincent, launched her career as a guitar virtuoso—a real shredder—in indie rock, playing alongside artists like Sufjan Stevens. As a bandleader, she's moved away from the explosive solos, telling David Remnick, “There's a certain amount of guitar playing that is about pride, that isn't about the song. . . . I'm not that interested in guitar being a means of poorly covered-up pride.” Her songs are dense, challenging, and not always easy, but catchy and seductive. Remnick caught up with Clark before the launch of her new album, “MASSEDUCTION.”  They talked about the clarity of purpose she needed in order to “clear a path” to write the “glamorously sad songs” she's become known for.This segment originally aired on October 13, 2017.

I first heard The National 17 years ago this month I think, and I fell in love instantly. They've continued to be one of my favourite bands, and it's been great to see them ascend to new heights of popularity and pursue interesting creative directions in the band and outside. Guitarist Aaron Dessner is now a key producer and co-writer for the likes of Taylor Swift and Gracie Abrams. His twin brother Bryce Dessner is a composer whose orchestral and chamber compositions have been commissioned by the LA Philharmonic, Edinburgh International Festival and Kronos Quartet amongst others, and he's collaborated with the likes of Philip Glass, Steve Reich, Paul Simon, Sufjan Stevens and many more. Frontman Matt Berninger has become one of the most compelling rock frontman of the 21st century with his often darkly funny, self-deprecating lyrics, and gangly, physical stage presence. Drummer Bryan Devendorf is one of the most distinctive drummers operating in rock today. Which leaves my guest this episode, bassist Scott Devendorf. I feel like Scott is the member of the band I knew least about. Obviously I've seen him onstage many times anchoring the band, but I was intrigued to see how the interview would go, and was pleased to discover Scott was excellent company. The National have just released a new live album entitled “Rome” which was recorded this past June in, well Rome obviously. It does a pretty good job of capturing the catharsis and sometimes chaos of a National show. I thought it was an interesting decision to focus on one particular show rather than compile tracks from across the tour. I was curious how they would handle the situations where Matt goes walkabout with the microphone, climbing into the crowd and getting mobbed with fans singing their heads off. Scott had a lot to say about these decisions, and about The National as a live act in general. He was really generous with his time. I only found out this interview was happening less than 24 hours before it took place, so it was quite a whirlwind getting it prepped and organised. I again had some technical issues so I've mostly just used the zoom feed but it sounds fine. To have The National represented on the podcast really means a lot. This will be the last episode of the year, and what a way to go out.

I (lizzie) first came across Becca Stevens via her collaboration with string group The Attica Quartet. Her new album, Maple to Paper, is really different from her previous releases. If you think you know everything that there is to know about Becca Stevens as a singer, songwriter, arranger, and producer, you are wrong. And you are going to be so amazed by this new record. It's completely stripped down, featuring just her guitar and her voice. During the pandemic, Stevens started getting inspired to write songs about her family, about her mom, about grief, about becoming a mother. She decided to record Maple to Paper in her home in Princeton, New Jersey. The result is a super intimate and adventurous, bold and personal album which is full of amazing performances.In our Basic Folk conversation we also got to talk about some of her notable collaborations. The most interesting one, to me, was hearing about how she considers the late David Crosby a continuous spiritual co-writer. In addition to her friendship with Crosby, Stevens has collaborated with so many more incredible musicians including Jacob Collier and Sufjan Stevens on the Illinoise Broadway musical. She has a really unconventional approach to infusing pop, jazz, and folk into her work. Maple to Paper became an instant classic for me the minute I heard it. I'm really excited for our listeners to hear the song, "Shoulda Been There for Me," which feels like an old school R&B tune, but arranged for a contemporary folk record.Follow Basic Folk on social media: https://basicfolk.bio.link/Sign up for Basic Folk's newsletter: https://bit.ly/basicfolknewsHelp produce Basic Folk by contributing: https://basicfolk.com/donate/Interested in sponsoring us?

Becca Stevens is a Grammy-nominated singer songwriter who has released 6+ records of her own music, as well as collaborating with the likes of David Crosby, Jacob Collier, Laura Mvula, Brad Mehldau, Michael McDonald, Snarky Puppy, as well has having a roll in the Broadway show "Illinoise" based on the music of Sufjan Stevens. We talk with Becca about the nitty gritty of touring with an infant, balancing your passion and creativity with parenthood, balancing that passion with a partner who is also an artist, creating within and through grief, family bands, and a whole lot more.Get more access and support this show by subscribing to our Patreon, right here.Links:Becca StevensMom's On The Bus communityThe Tune MammalsBoyd's ShadowGretchen ParlatoIllinoise MusicalThe Town HallDavid CrosbyClick here to watch this conversation on YouTube.Social Media:The Other 22 Hours InstagramThe Other 22 Hours TikTokMichaela Anne InstagramAaron Shafer-Haiss InstagramAll music written, performed, and produced by Aaron Shafer-Haiss.
