Today I spoke with composer Mary Kouyoumdjian and conductor Alan Pierson about Paper Pianos, a sonic documentary exploring the lives of refugees.
We discussed human migration, multimedia art, and I struggled pronouncing Mary’s last name.
The Paper Pianos album (above) will be released tomorrow at Cantaloupe Music. Click above for an excerpt.
Next week I will speak with jazz vocalist Amber Weekes about the release of her album To Oscar with Love, celebrating the birth centenary of singer, composer, and civil rights activist Oscar Brown, Jr.
Above is the single “Afro Blue.”
