Episode 4 (April 17, 2021): Daniel Gardner and I talk about percussion, punk music, serialism, live electronics promoting accessibility, a public sound sculpture in London Ontario, turtle-like creative habits, and Universal Design, among other things...

Fresh Sounds / Open Ears is an interview podcast about composition and music education, hosted by composer Alex Eddington. Every episode, I have a conversation with a different Canadian composer - with a focus on their writing for/with young and amateur musicians.
