In this episode, we speak with Lee Chernowetz, an audio visual specialist and the community manager for the virtual reality DJ application TribeXR. He is also a teacher, a multi-instrumentalist, an Emmy award-winning producer and the composer of the music that I use in my podcast (unless the episode features the music of the guest.) 
Lee will talk about the concept of his "Failed Projects," his process when making music and what he calls the "magic trick" of music. He will also talk with us about the liminal space of virtual reality.

Season 2 Episode 4: In Conversation with Leech Ernowetz, musician and VR DJ

The idea to start this podcast came from three different poles, and each one gave me a little shock of inspiration.
​
The first initiating element was finding myself booked in a hotel that turned out to be haunted. This made me extremely receptive to and interested by people's lived experiences of liminality. How do you cope with something that you know is not supposed to be happening? 

The next lightning strike was a chart reading from my astrologer Sindy Schönherr.  She validated something that I have always felt- I am very comfortable exploring "mysteries, graveyards and the human psyche" and would be a good guide for people who normally do not find themselves in those realms. Hence, the title of this podcast was conceived. 

The third ingredient came when my friend Karen Frazer approached me and told me that she wanted to get the word out about protecting headstones and burial grounds. My resolution to give my friend a platform was what caused this podcast to be born. 

So you see, it took ghosts, an astrologer and a cemetery guardian to get this thing going. Hope you enjoy it.
