“Visitors,” a lovely acoustic
journey inspired by the visits of animals, is an album that leads
to great conversation. Performed by Ben Hjertmann and Emmalee
Hunnicutt, this masterpiece uses many different instruments which
we discuss here. Fresh topics include: the act of rounding fretless
tab, what a mentally ill Sufjan Stevens would sound like,
performing live, JI lattices, chord symbols, and why we like
secrets. All of the music from the episode is from the album, which
is on Bandcamp! By the way, does anyone know the Nick Drake song
Ben references at 33:26-34:00? If so, leave a
comment!
Doing something new: for each Now&Xen
episode made, I’m trying to release a cover of one of the songs on
my YouTube channel, if it’s relevant and I can do it. There’s a
17-tone equal temperament cover of “Luna Mirage” there now (link is
at the very bottom).
