Cascading Dissonance: Conversations w/ Shin Chida, Scot Jenerik and Mike Meanstreetz

WFMU Playlist & Interactive Live Chat

This week we are lucky to have a panel discussion with Shin Chida, Scot Jenerik and Mike Meanstreetz, who are collectively touring at the end of May / and through June, on the “Cascading Dissonance” Tour. Scot is now stranger to the show, but Shin and Mike are certainly interesting characters, who each have unique and fascinating stories. We talk to all three of them over the course of the show, play samples of their music, and offer more insight into the upcoming tour.

 

 

 

We close the show with a longer conversation about working as a creative artist in modern times, and offer a chance for listeners to hear / watch Scot’s latest piece, “The Fall of Icarus,” which is a fully realized film with a live performance. We offer the YouTube Link for people to access during the show, and for those who watch the video person of this podcast, you can see and listen to the entire “Fall of Icarus” piece, as part of that production.

I always enjoy talking to Scot about the world of experimental music and art, and it was a wonderful chance to open that conversation up to different perspectives in that world, too. All three have different takes on how to do what we do, and all three have dedicated their time and efforts to this kind of work. During the interview, you’ll get a more nuanced take on what these artists are trying to say.

Be Seeing You.
