  • Soft Chaos 002 - Katinka Fogh Vindelev
    May 3 2024

    Today on Soft Chaos we have Danish singer and composer Katinka Fogh Vindelev. Katinka and I first met in Copenhagen through our collaborative work with fellow Danes, Efterklang. She is a classically trained soprano and experimental composer who has performed numerous critically acclaimed pieces of provocative and expansive art throughout Europe and the US. Today we talk about her journey into music performance, the history and future of opera, her work with Daniel Hart on the soundtrack for the A24 films A Ghost Story and The Green Knight, as well as her boundary pushing live performances including an upcoming piece staged in a shopping mall in her childhood hometown. Katinka is a deep thinker, a compelling vocalist and composer and a dear friend. For more information visit her website at https://katinkafoghvindelev.dk/ as well as https://www.motherboard.works/

  • Soft Chaos 001 - Balmorhea
    Mar 18 2024

    Today on Soft Chaos we have one of my favorite groups, Balmorhea. I first met Michael Muller from the band in 2009 at SXSW through our mutual friend Peter Broderick. Now, joined by Michael's bandmate, Rob Lowe, we have a conversation around their most recent album, Pendant World, released last June on Deutsche Grammophon. We talk about the process of making that album, working with acclaimed engineer producer, Jonathan Low, their live performance film in Marfa, TX, film scoring, and their collaborative creative journey that they have been on now for almost two decades. Incidentally, Michael has also just released an incredible solo album called, Mirror Music, which I encourage everyone to check out as well.
