Beethoven Bad Boy is finally back! Jae has decided enough is enough, and make some episodes without a co-pilot, at least for now. This long awaited 2nd season will be split into three different, 4 episode mini series, first of which are interviews with his friends who play in rock and folk bands but came to that place from having trained in classical music. This first episode back, he chats to Tom Hagerman of DeVotchKa, the award-winning, 4 person multi-instrumental, indie-gypsy-rock band from Denver, Colorado, who's mellifluous and hypnotic songs like "How it Ends" and "New World" have been heard not only in rock venues and festivals, but also on major motion picture soundtracks such as 2006's "Little Miss Sunshine" (which garnered an Oscar and a Grammy nomination that year) and 2010's "I Love You, Phillip Morris". Jae & Tom talk about everything from his early violin lessons in Colorado Springs to, what it's really like to be on the road touring for 6 weeks, and discuss their most impressionistic classical albums from their teens. This round of "Secrets of Beethoven" harkens back to Beethoven's books of conversations, where the people he was having a conversation with, would write their questions for the composer to read as he could not hear them.

Dawn Fay (Producing Director, Wonderbound) "I think the big goal was to push the art forward, and that's still ongoing. That's never gonna stop. The complexity of it, of our shows, the fact that now we have bands like Chimney Choir or Ian Cooke or Jesse Manley and his band and even working with Tom Hagerman who wrote a new composition for the symphony. So that's the big thing for us, is that constantly pushing that envelope of new and constantly pushing the artists that we work with to keep notching up as we keep notching up is beyond." On this episode of Behind The Scene: Guest: Dawn Fay (Producing Director, Wonderbound) Official Site: wonderbound.com The song for this episode is called Lullaby and is by Tom Hagerman, one of Wonderbound's most frequent musical collaborators.

Ian Cooke is one of our favorite recurring guests in the CPR Performance Studio. Last month the Denver experimental folk artist made his fifth appearance at CPR's OpenAir to share music from his forthcoming LP "The Flight I Flew." Music from the record will serve as the soundtrack for Celestial Navigation, the new show from Denver dance group Wonderbound opening Oct. 13. Ian Cooke and his band -- featuring Tom Hagerman of DeVotchKa -- played three songs from "The Flight I Flew." Cooke also spoke with Alisha Sweeney about creating an "intimate" vibe on the new LP, writing a narrative that takes place in outer space and what it's like to see his music interpreted through dance.
