In this up close interview, Zo Anthony Shay interviews sound artist and flutist Nicolo Scolieri, who works with historical recordings and creates ambient tracks for art installations and soundtracks. All music in this episode is the work of Nicolo.  After having studied Ethnomusicology at UCLA's School of Arts and Architecture, he went on to work for NPR and the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage as an analog audio conservator and digtial audio storyteller, while continuing freelance radio production, tape syncs for the BBC, WNYC, and others, and writing and scoring fiction stories and ASMR. Using modular audio hardware and digital sound programming, he is currently building works of sound art and design, bridging gaps between lived experience and the physical sound world.
