11. Spacey Polyrhythms. [Alison Dennis.]
Alison Dennis grew up in various cities
and towns in Oregon, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Her involvement in music started
at a young age as she participated in church choirs and school band. She
received a literature degree and some a cappella choir experience from Oberlin
College in Ohio before moving to Portland, Oregon, where she has lived, with
the exception of a short stint in New Orleans, for over a decade. Currently
she writes, records and performs music under the name Dr. Something, performs
keyboards, sax, and vocals in the psych rock band All I Feel Is Yes, creates
visual art, and works a mundane office job to pay the bills. Alison and
Michael talk about learning music in church, being a spacey kid, rebuilding
New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, artificial intelligence as metaphor for
queer liberation, and losing control over being a control freak.
