Episode #11: Dan Blake Loosening the Hinges

This episode showcases the performance of composer Dan Blake’s new work, Without Walls at Ibeam in Gowanus Brooklyn. In addition to hearing the performance that features musicians Christina Van Alstine, Erin Wight, Yegor Shevtsov, and Kevin Sims, you’ll hear Dan Blake reflect on his relationship to improvising and composing respectively, storytelling and character, and finding inspiration in the Heart Sutra. I speculate on the Freudian meaning of a certain infantile ball game (da-fort). This episode originally aired on CFRU 93.3FM in Guelph Ontario on December 18th, 2014.
