“I think that exploring new sounds is something that our future audiences deserve because there is so much more to say.”

Before this episode, Erich and I had never spoken outside of interactions on social media. However, from those interactions, I had the sense this would be a fun and welcoming sort of conversation. That proved to be very true! We have already agreed to have him back for a Part 2, and since I am announcing that here in writing, it definitely has to happen.

Erich is the type of musician who not only creates opportunities for himself but creates opportunities for other musicians. From our conversation, it seems clear to me that when he sets out to do something, he makes it happen. We go into great detail about the many of those opportunities: starting a record label, founding the A/Tonal Ensemble with his wife, America By project, and other topics like the future of college music program curriculums, comedian Jin Bruer, and so much more on episode 19 of The Making Noise Podcast. 

I hope you enjoy!
