Ep. 023 - Florida, Food, and Empathy in Writing with Carlynn Crosby

Season 1 · Episode 23

Saturday, September 28, 2024 • Duration 01:49:34

On today's episode of music/Maker with Tyler Kline, Tyler is joined by Carlynn Crosby.

Carlynn Crosby is a writer and editor based in Gainesville, Florida, where her interests range from archival research on Florida food and culture to experimental forms of fiction and memoir. She currently works in book publishing and is pursuing a PhD in literature. She has been described as "decent."

Carlynn is a storyteller–she tells stories about Florida places and people, and she and Tyler dig deeply into what that means for her. They also talk quite a bit about food in this conversation, primarily how writing about food can be a catalyst to springboard into other kinds of cultural and societal topics.

You can learn more about Carlynn on her website, https://carlynncrosby.com and read some of her writing on her Substack newsletter at https://growninflorida.substack.com/.

Ep. 022 - Transmuting Scientific Processes into Music with Roger Zare

Season 1 · Episode 22

Saturday, September 21, 2024 • Duration 01:51:38

On today's episode of music/Maker with Tyler Kline, Tyler is joined by Roger Zare.

Roger Zare has been praised for his “enviable grasp of orchestration” by the New York Times and for writing music with “formal clarity and an alluringly mercurial surface.” He was born in Sarasota, FL, and has written for a wide variety of ensembles, from solo instruments to full orchestra.

Often inspired by science, mathematics, literature, and mythology, his colorfully descriptive and energetic works have been performed on six continents by such ensembles as the American Composers Orchestra, the Minnesota Orchestra, the Sarasota Orchestra, the Australian-based Trio Anima Mundi, the Donald Sinta Quartet, and the New York Youth Symphony.

This conversation is an absolute deep dive into all sorts of scientific topics, but there's no need to worry. You’ll quickly realize that Roger speaks about these things in a down-to-earth way, which serves him well in his creative practice. Much of Roger’s work involves connecting complex matters with musical audiences and, in some cases, young musicians.

Roger also discusses his musical roots growing up in Sarasota, his first experience as a composer at a very young age, and how his focus on large ensemble writing has shaped his pathway as a composer.

Roger and his work can be found online at rogerzare.com.

Ep. 013 - Music and Linguistics as Personality with Ania Vu

Season 1 · Episode 13

Saturday, July 6, 2024 • Duration 01:12:24

On today's episode of music/Maker with Tyler Kline, Tyler is joined by composer Ania Vu.

Polish of Vietnamese descent composer and pianist, Ania Vu (née Vũ Đặng Minh Anh) writes music that explores the interplay between the sound properties of the words and their meanings, musical energy related to form, and varied notions of time. She also enjoys crafting her own text that serves as a sonic, formal, and expressive guiding reference in her musical writing process.

Her music has been described by the Boston Globe as an exhibition of "artful vocal writing [that] ranges from percussive whispers to glinting, pure-voiced lines that [...] blended elegantly into the roiling cauldron of strings.” Ania is the 2024 Composer-in-Residence at the Chelsea Music Festival, and has received recognition and fellowships from the American Opera Project, ASCAP, Copland House, Tanglewood, the Boston New Music Initiative, and the I-Park Foundation.

In this conversation, Ania shares what it was like growing up with a mom who is also a composer; how her multicultural background and interest in languages manifests in her music; the role of time as a philosophy in her practice; and so much more.

You can find Ania online at https://ania.vu.

Ep. 012 - Intentionality in Musical Craft with Daijana Wallace

Season 1 · Episode 12

Saturday, June 29, 2024 • Duration 01:23:21

On today's episode of music/Maker with Tyler Kline, Tyler is joined by Daijana Wallace.

Daijana Wallace is a composer and educator based in Wichita, KS. Her music is an outward reflection of her own introspection, drawing inspiration from any and every thought that crosses her mind from the mundane aspects of daily life to specific memories about a percussive upstairs neighbor.

Daijana’s compositions have been heard at venues such as Wichita Art Museum, and MASS MoCA, as well as PASIC and International Society of Basses conferences. Daijana holds Bachelors’ Degrees and a Master’s Degrees from Wichita State University and Michigan State University respectively. When she’s not busy composing, she’s teaching music in the greater Wichita area.

Daijana and Tyler wade into some complex and heavy subjects in this conversation: She shares how tragedy sparked her journey as a composer, the struggles she faced in her work after George Floyd's untimely demise, and what it took to bounce back from an ensuing artistic slump. Daijana also talks about how intentionality is a big part of her compositional thinking and even get to talk about some of her hobbies.

(Note: Daijana is pronounced Day-on-a, like spending a day-on-a beach.)

Ep. 011 - Transformation through Experimental Sound Practices with James May

Season 1 · Episode 11

Saturday, June 22, 2024 • Duration 02:10:59

On today's episode of music/Maker with Tyler Kline, Tyler is joined by James May.

James May is a composer, improviser, teacher, photographer, and writer. His work explores unfurling, fragile spaces through notated scores, improvisation environments, live electronics, field recordings, extended vocal technique, and text. He’s especially interested in combining techniques to encourage the exploration of new sounds or generate unpredictable systems in which performers can dwell.

He’s a member of Versipel New Music in New Orleans, has published writing in Sound American and RTÉ Culture, taught courses on music production techniques and field recording at Tulane University, and is an active free improviser in the Gulf South. James is beginning a PhD in Music and Multimedia Composition at Brown University in the fall of 2024.

In this conversation, James shares how studying composition as an undergrad was really his only option to pursue music as a career - a departure from the typical path of music education or performance; he and Tyler bond over the way each of us entered the world of electronic music; he discusses the transformative year he spent studying Experimental Sound Design in Cork, Ireland; how he broke away from approaching free improvisation with a composer’s perspective and how that, in turn, influences his compositional work today; and so, so much more.

James can be found online at jamesmaycomposer.com.

Anna Huffka is the owner and operator of [the iki movement], an all-inclusive hair studio based in Lexington, KY where they’ll pamper you in just about any way you can imagine, offering everything from hair sculpting - yes, sculpting, not cutting - to hair coloring, and lots other services to help you feel your best self.

As you can imagine, this episode is a bit of a departure from the usual fare you hear on music/Maker, but don’t worry - it’s all good stuff. Anna and Tyler cover a lot of ground in a short bit of time, like how - when in elementary school - she would help cut her grandma’s hair, the influence of her Japanese heritage on her creative practice and business, the differences between styling individuals in a salon versus styling models for a fashion show - and so much more.

You can check out Anna's work on her studio's Instagram page @theikimovement.

Ep. 006 - Reconceptualizing the Tuba with Brett Copeland

Season 1 · Episode 6

Saturday, May 18, 2024 • Duration 01:22:38

Today on music/Maker with Tyler Kline, Tyler is joined by composer and tubist Brett Copeland.

Dr. Brett Copeland is a tuba player, educator, composer, and music technologist who holds the position of Associate Adjunct Professor of Tuba and Euphonium at the University of Northern Iowa where he teaches Applied Lessons, Low Brass Techniques, directs the UNITUBA ensemble, and teaches a course on Electronic Composition.

Furthermore, his passion for composition shines through his acoustic and electro-acoustic works.

In this conversation, Brett and Tyler cover a lot of ground: Brett shares how he thinks about tuba with electronics and how that is different from how most tuba players might think of it; we reminisce about hanging out with friends at lunch in grad school, and how that’s impacted Brett’s musical thinking; how a composer might leverage AI to break out of their comfort zone; and what it’s like returning to his undergrad as a professor.
