Episode 3: Alex & Lorena (Dirty Beaches)

from Stories About Music Hosted by Stories About Music

story about music #3 Alex & Lorena In the radio industry, a tape synch is an industry term for when two people are recorded separately while talking on the phone at the same time. Being a low budget production, Stories About Music has had to rely on these for the past few episodes. Being a no budget production, we've also had to rely on musicians who know how to mic themselves. But not this time. When I went looking for Alex Zhang Hungtai, the voice and mind behind the cross-continental project Dirty Beaches, I found out he had just moved to LA, not far from where my friend Lorena was living. Lorena studied sound recording in college, so I sent her to meet Alex with a microphone so I could ask him some questions about his work–only to learn that Lorena was perhaps even more closely connected to the themes behind Alex's work than I knew.
