It’s a pleasure to bring back Gahlord Dewald as a guest today.  He was featured on an in-person episode at the 2017 International Society of Bassists Convention and also on a remote chat in 2020 about his album Coherent Light Enclosed Without, which was recorded at The Tank Center for Sonic Arts.

 

Gahlord recently moved from Vermont to Hawaii.  We talk about what it was like relocating, finding artistic inspiration in this new place, and much more on today’s episode.

 

Enjoy, and be sure to connect with Gahlord on his website and bandcamp, and check out his album Ashuelot, which we featured in the intro.
