Mary Lattimore is a harpist and composer who travels the world sharing her incredible gifts. She visited the Esalen institute in Big Sur California while I was there and we connected so beautifully. We watched the sunrise from the hot springs and talked about life and music and humanity. She is such a generous artist, and human. I was so moved by her steadfast commitment to build a more gentle world. I hope you enjoy this episode of 3 songs podcast with the magical Mary Lattimore.

I met Laraaji at the Esalen institute in Big Sur California this winter. He is a powerhouse of light and laughter, a deep yogi and a pioneer of ambient music. I had the honor of improvising with him, attending some concerts of his and having some beautiful meals with him and Arji Oceananda, his music partner, during their week long stay at Esalen that I will not forget as long as I live. I hope you enjoy this episode of 3 songs podcast with the one, the only, Laraaji

Edi Kwon graced my life this year when she started as a fellow through the Lewis Arts Center at Princeton. Her course “The Ceremony is You” which explored Korean Shamanism and ceremonial performance practice, was phenomenal. Additionally, getting to know her these last few months has been one of the highlights of my year. Edi is a deeply caring, phenomenally gentle being who is full of love, creativity and playful curiosity about the world and its humans. I hope you enjoy this episode of 3 songs with Violinist, improviser, songwriter, shaman and beautiful performance artist, Edi Kwon.

This week on 3 songs, I had the grand honor of sitting with my teacher and mentor Tyondai Braxton.
Tyondai is a composer, guitarist, and electronic musician who thinks about music in an expansive and refreshing way. He became well known for his work in the band Battles, but his work has gone far and wide beyond that into vast and unexplored realms, most recently into the sandbox of orchestra and electronics with his recent release “Telekinesis”.
We’ve had some amazing conversations in lessons this semester that have gotten me really fired up about some of the more conceptual ideas I'm exploring in my recent work… I'm really happy that he has recently joined the faculty at Princeton University and glad that you will all have the chance to sit with him in this episode of 3 songs as he shares a bit about his influences. I hope you enjoy 🫶

Shahzad Ismaily, where do I even begin. This is a very special soul of near infinite layers. I think one place to begin is that Shahzad, who knows quite literally everyone in the music industry and has played on something like 400 records has a beautiful recording studio in Brooklyn called Figure 8 around which many, many musical souls orbit. Shahzad is honey for experimental/soulful music butterflies. He’s also a bassist, producer, and has more hustle than most people I’ve met combined. I hope you enjoy this episode of 3 songs podcast with Shahzad Ismaily.

Kimbra is such a beautiful soul. I saw her play a live set of improvised pop music with Exotech in New York City that was truly transcendent and asked her after if she would be open to visiting campus and speaking with the students about her incredible creativity and she agreed. She’s an amazing technician, a life long student, and devoted mind/body/soul to music and creativity. I hope you enjoy this conversation of 3 songs with Kimbra.
