I was a guest on the May 21st episode of composer Paul Steenhuisen's podcast, Soundlab. Paul kindly allowed me to repost our discussion here. For those who are not familiar with Paul's excellent podcast, I urge you to subscribe — there are links below.We discussed my compositional background and aesthetics, and talked in some depth about my cantata, Iridescent Notation. The occasion was the work's Canadian premiere in Toronto on May 26th, 2019 at the Betty Oliphant Theatre. Maeve Palmer sang the demanding soprano part, and Robert Aitken conducted the New Music Concerts ensemble.**SUPPORT THIS PODCASTPatreonDonorboxLINKSYouTube channelOfficial WebsiteTwitterInstagramEdition Impronta, publisher of Samuel Andreyev’s scoresLink to the original Soundlab episodeEPISODE CREDITSEdited, recorded and produced by Paul Steenhuisen for his podcast SoundlabSpoken introduction: Maya RasmussenPodcast artwork photograph © 2019 Philippe StirnweissSupport the show
