Aria Podcast Season 2 Ep. 2: The Batman (2022) Soundtrack and Kurt Cobain (Readings from Kurt Cobain journals)

Hi everyone! I'm back! This is my very first solo episode and I'll be talking about the new Batman movie's soundtrack and how Robert Pattinson's portrayal of Bruce Wayne was actually inspired by Kurt Cobain. The first half of the episode explains how motifs from the soundtrack are used to further the plot and the second half features readings from Kurt Cobain's actual journal entries, showing parallels between the new Bruce Wayne and Kurt Cobain in the years leading to his death in 1994.

Aria Podcast Season 2 Ep. 2: Joseph Allie

Season 2 Ep. 2 features guitarist and music teacher Joe Allie (@jimmyjoejazzsweeps on Instagram) who resides in Phoenix, AZ. Joe plays with the bands Marked;Life and Brother Theresa (look em up) and we talk about not only his current music ventures, but possible future ones as well! We dig into how promoting our art can sometimes take away from the enjoyment of making it, and about finding that mindset balance between allowing the music to become part of who we are, and just letting go- allowing the music to take over.

Aria Podcast Season 2 Ep. 1: Queerness and our Music (Classical Queeros Collab)

The premiere of Season 2 comes in with a bang- a collab with podcast @classicalqueeros - A podcast all about discussing queer composers in classical music and beyond. Alice Park and Shahid Osuna both sit down with me and we discuss our queerness, and how it has not only shaped and affected us but how it has shaped our music as well. We dive into a lot of great topics in this one, and what is better than learning about other cool podcasts to follow?

This episode features my friend Alex Price, who is a composer and instrumentalist as well as an educator.

We both talk about some of our inspirations and favorite composers and of course we hear clips from his work including “Life Story”, Alex’s thesis project from college, which is both a story and an album! Alex's song "Across Time and Space" is featured in the episode opening, with a clip from his tune, "Journey" at the end of the episode.
