We were stoked to hang out with composer Steven Snowden for this episode.
We cover a variety of topics, including his compositional inspiration and practice, including electronics, and focus on specific works, such as Looner Eclipse. Megan presents an article called "Decolonizing Our Music," and Laurel starts a new, quick weekly segment which highlights one musically relevant quote and its speaker.
