    001: Dream Chambers

    Welcome to the first episode of Radio Resistance: Tennessee Experimental! In this hour you’ll hear from Dream Chambers, an artist whose music blends modular synths and crystalline vocal harmonies with bone rattling sub-bass. Dream Chambers (aka Jess Chambers) tells her story of leaving the folk / Americana world to find the spectrum of color and the infinite expanding universe in synthesizers. At the time of this interview she was one day away from leaving Nashville to return to New Zealand. With the birds eye perspective that transitional space offers, she shares stories about the underground music scene in Nashville, and embraces technology as her personal feminist manifesto.  Plus music by Dream Chambers’ creative influences: Pauline Anna Strom, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Arushi Jain, Suzanne Ciani  Hosted by Carissa Stolting Interview & performance recorded by Matt AndrewsAudio produced by Kai Welch Artwork by Ben Smith Podcast distributed by We Own This Town  Radio Resistance: Tennessee Experimental is created by Unmanageable Arts, and made possible with support from the Tennessee Arts Commission.  Additional Links Dream Chambers Official Sitehttps://www.dreamchambersmusic.com/ Dream Chambers on Bandcamphttps://dreamchambers.bandcamp.com Dream Chambers on Instagram, @dreamchambershttps://instagram.com/dreamchambers Radio Resistance on Instagram, @radioresistance_tnhttps://www.instagram.com/radioresistance_tn
