Alex Kotch: The PhDJ

My first ever audio piece! Produced with Chris Biddle in 2015:Alex Kotch, AKA Direwolf, is a producer, composer, DJ, and instrumentalist based in Durham, North Carolina. He has a PhD in music composition, but really just wants to make sick beats that get people moving. Producers Emily Shaw and Chris Biddle ask what sparked his movement from classrooms and recital halls to dance collectives and clubs. Produced at "Hearing Is Believing" - Duke University's Center for Documentary Studies Audio Intensive. Engineering assistance from George S. Rosenthal. Special thanks to John Biewen and Shea Shackelford.Music by Direwolf (Alex Kotch):Tibetan MixHabitusBreakoutPhoto by Michael Thomas
