056 - Ben Hjertmann & Emmalee Hunnicutt

"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! There's a 17-tone equal temperament cover of "Luna Mirage" on my YouTube now (link is at the very bottom).
