EPISODE 9: UNDER_COOLED

Over the years, many musicians have shared the Space that is the Place. Today's guest, Robert Dennis, AKA under_cooled, is one of them. He pays tribute to the room that he has occupied creatively for the better part of two plus decades by sampling the creaks, taps and snaps generated by the space and reshaping them through a prism of Uglient sound.

1 NEG-FI

Meet the inward-facing bookends of the Neo-No Wave, Ryan Walsh and Evelyne Buhler.

2 GREG PETERSON

A song is a song is a song is a Greg Peterson.

3 JENNIFER O'CONNOR

She writes. She writes songs. She writes hooks. She plays guitar. She loops. She juggles (probably). She starts record labels (definitely).

4 TWO MULE TEAM

Sort of like 75 Dollar Bill meets the Shams. No, more like Run On meets Timber. Not really, Vietnam meets V-Effect. Hmm, maybe...

5 P.G. SIX

The harp. The voice. Environmental guitar.

6 SEMI-FREE

Janine Nichols, Charlie Burnham, Brandon Ross: Semi-Free but All-Everything Else. Jazz not what your trio can do for you. Folk springs eternal.

7 DEBBY SCHWARTZ

Modal rocker major-minor harmonizer song singer writer. "Debby Schwartz has hands like Bert Jansch and a voice like the autumn moon."

8 LITTLE BLACK EGG

Georgia Hubley steps out from behind the drums to shape time and space on guitar. “Shifting & swelling electric guitar clouds, faint birds. gorgeous.”- Jesse Jarnow

9 UNDER_COOLED
