from @ percussion podcast Hosted by Unknown

Zoltan Racz is the founder of the percussion quartet Amadinda, which just celebrated 33 years of playing together. Laurel and Casey ran into him at the 2017 Taiwan International Percussion Convention in Taipei, and Casey couldn't resist sitting with him for an interview. Along with past PAS President Julie Hill, Casey asks questions about Amadinda as well as Zoltan's experience in working with three powerhouse composers of the 20th century: John Cage, Gyorgy Ligeti, and Steve Reich.
