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.

Paul Burgess joins to discuss the years of upheaval that led to the creation of his album Nothing Ever Happens and the process of leading his own project after being a contributor to many others.

Sarah Elstran of The Nunnery joins to talk about the origin of Cyrus Song from the new album Floating Gardens. Her story details the chaotic circumstances of the birth of her first child, and how a melody she wrote during her pregnancy served to guide her child to health against all odds.

Voice of Saturn is the solo recording project of Travis Thatcher. His new album Gratitude is out now on Woodford Halse.

SKRT is a trio from Dayton, Ohio. I spoke with Asche and Micah about their new split 12" record with fellow Ohioans Lung and how it came together. Asche opened up about the lyrical themes in their music and finding a way to process difficult life experiences through writing.

Shane McCord and Mikey Powers have played music together since they were kids. Sham songs usually start as guitar duets and incorporate layers of vocals, piano, bowed strings, wind instruments and field recordings. We talked about their songwriting process and being inspired by music and nature. We also wax philosophical on the Turquoise State of Being.
