The Seltzer Salon #19: Zekarias Musele Thompson

Foxy Digitalis ·

2023/10/26

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

Marc Masters - Songs of Our Lives #5

Foxy Digitalis ·

2023/10/24

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Marc Masters on the show! When I think about music writers that cover experimental music and sound in the margins, Marc is the first name on the team sheet. His new book, “High Bias: The Distorted History of the Cassette Tape” is out now and is essential reading for the heads. On this episode, we wonder how The Eels’ friend Fred died, pizza-themed cover songs, the greatness of Syl Johnson, The Velvet Underground, and loads more!Listen to all of Marc’s

The Seltzer Salon #18: Tristan Allen

Foxy Digitalis ·

2023/10/19

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. It’s one of the most engaging pieces of work I’ve heard all year, and add into it the puppetry and visuals Allen has created in conjunction with the music, it’s hard not to be taken in and moved by it all.Tin Iso & the DawnThe Seltzer Salon is a concise, conversational

The Seltzer Salon #17: Green-House

Foxy Digitalis ·

2023/10/12

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

2023/10/10

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Eric Mingus on the show. Eric’s newest album, Lessons From My Father, is tremendous and moving. We talk about his research on the Mingus Mill in North Carolina and collaborating with Yo-Yo Ma before diving in to memories of his father, Charles Mingus, playing in the house, how far ahead of his time Miles was, The Band’s ability to make someone else’s songs their own, The Boss’s creeper side, and so much more!Listen to all of Eric’s picks HEREEric

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.

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite soprano, composer, and my favorite snake-loving witch, Nina Dante, on the show. Nina’s channel, The Snake Said to the River is among my favorite things on the internet, and her full-scale embrace of whimsy and magic is inspiring to me. We have a blast talking about falling for The Boss, questioning if The Bangles were cringeworthy or not, the power of Nina Simone, and so much more.Listen to all of Nina’s picks HEREThe Snake Said to the River on

The Seltzer Salon #15: Greta Ruth

Foxy Digitalis ·

2023/09/19

When I heard Greta Ruth's The Fawn a couple years ago, I was initially taken by her voice and the way it hung like a ghost within the stark sonic field. It was so captivating. In the years since, her sound has developed and grown, but her voice continues to be the flame that holds it all together. Holy Omen, self-released earlier this month, pushes everything into a new realm. Her words are sharper than ever and musically, the songs are more complex, but just as inviting and timeless. It's really

For the newest edition of The Seltzer Salon, I talked to trumpeter, composer, and so much more, Matthew Halsall, about his new album, An Ever Changing View. It's a stunning album. I've been an admirer of Halsall's work for a while, but this album really swept me up in this lively, vivid world he creates with it. His compositions and trumpet playing are, of course, top notch, but the percussive elements of the album heighten its impact considerably. Add in the full package - custom fonts, cover

Foxy Digitalis ·

2023/09/07

I interviewed Nick Millevoi just over a year ago, but when his new album, Digital Reaction, came out, a lot of new questions started popping into my head. Then, he shared the video for "Spins of the Axis" and mentioned it's inspiration from the movie RAD, a favorite of mine as a kid that I a) hadn't thought about it years (decades!?) and b) thought nobody else had seen (I had no idea it was re-released in 2020), and so I knew I needed to do a Seltzer Salon with him. Nick is one of the best

It's no surprise that I am drawn to fellow lifers, and the great Bob Bellerue certainly fits that bill. This was the first time the two of us actually sat down and talked, but having occupied similar and adjacent worlds for the better part of two decades, it was a quick connection. In addition to continuing the great Ende Tymes festival, Bellerue's solo music practice has been expanding and evolving along with his collaborative work.
