Wes Swing joins to discuss the new album Live From Francesco's Backyard. Pink Noise host Jeff Gregerson plays the role of interviewer and bandmate in this conversation, as the recording in question is a collaboration between the two musicians. Recorded in Providence, Rhode Island in 2018, Live From Francesco's Backyard features Wes Swing on cello, loops, voice and guitar and Jeff Gregerson on synths, beats and digital effects. Wes spoke to us from Mexico City where he has been living for the past year and a half.

Pink Noise brings you new music - and the stories behind it - in the words of the artists themselves.

Albert Bagman is the burlap masked character created by songwriter and visual artist Kory Johnson. This intensely visual project delivers tenderly emotive music with a flare for the theatrical.  

We talked about how living and working in relative isolation inspires his forlorn songwriting, and about how anxiety and stagefright led to his creation of a masked persona. 

Check out Albert Bagman's videos on youtube to get a sense of his visual art. You can find his new album Visitors on bandcamp and other streaming services, and his tour dates are on his bandcamp page as well. 

Featured in this episode:
Give up the Ghost (from Straw)
Violet & Mildred, Excuse, and Cliche (from Visitors)

The Nunnery is the songwriting project of looping vocalist Sarah Elstran. The Nunnery creates deep worlds with her voice, using a looping pedal to layer harmonies and percussion. Her performance is often accompanied by visual effects, manipulated live and projected by her husband, Erik Elstran. 

Sarah told me about her songwriting process, the elements she conjures musically, thematically, and visually, and the months-long tour she was on when we met.

This episode features excerpts from "Fire Dove," the title track of her latest full length album, a live performance of "Space Hitchhikers" from Pony Rug, and "Under Mission," released as a single.

You can find The Nunnery's music and information about live performances at www.thenunnerymusic.com

Today we're going to hear from Gemma Gamarra and Marco Albano, members of the Barcelona-based band Berlinist. They are the creators of the soundtrack of the video game Gris.

I met Gemma & Marco in 2013 when I was on tour in Spain. At the time, Gris was not yet in development, but it was clear Marco was interested in combining his passion for music and games.

The idea of the game Gris started with illustrator Conrad Roset - the game's Art Director. Playing the game involves exploring a beautiful and strange world based on Conrad's illustrations. The player has to solve location-based puzzles to advance to new areas. Gemma & Marco's soundtrack enhances the otherworldly feeling.

Gris has been nominated for a bunch of awards. They've received 4 nominations in the 2019 SXSW Gaming Awards including Excellence in Musical Score, Excellence in Art, Excellence in Visual Achievement, Most Promising New Intellectual Property.

I talked to Gemma & Marco about working with the art director and programmers to compose their music and incorporate it into the game.
