Alva Sim came into The Dream with her new band to record some demos and work out arrangements. Hear how she and her bandmates collaborated to create visions for songs that for a long time lived only as a solo acoustic guitar and vocal. Alva talks about the thrill of hearing the band come in on the downbeat with the full arrangement, the nerves involved in making a commitment to turn your songs into "something", and a mysterious game Hoag has never heard of called "Rounders".
