Guest for this episode include Melanie Brown, Eric Mahle, and Ryan Ingebritsen. The three are from Chicago; however, Eric has since moved to Colorado. Melanie is an abstract artist and has collaborated with both of the men. They have yet to collaborate as a trio. To cope with Covid-19, Melanie and Eric have gotten together almost nightly online. Melanie paints while Eric composes; they respond to each other through their respective art. Melanie loves the sounds her brushes make on her canvas and teams up with Ryan to give live performances. Ryan attaches contact mics to the back of Melanie's canvas and they react to one another back and forth. They provide entertainment at parties and also perform at galleries and bars.
