Summary
For today's episode, we've got something really exciting- two interviews with artists from Unwell, talking about making audio work. These are sourced from John Bartmann’s fantastic podcast “How I make music”- where John interviews composers and artist who make music for audio fiction.
The first is an interview with longtime HartLife NFP artist Stephen Poon on his work on the Unwell theme. After the break, we’ll also be sharing an interview John recorded with me about composing for installations, and for one of my other podcasts, “The Museum at tomorrow.”
