I really enjoyed getting to chat with Erika Dohi for this. Such an incredible artist.

From the Fairlight CMI to the 1940s Ondioline, Erika Dohi built her sophomore album, 'Myth of Tomorrow,' using rare instruments with distinct personalities, astrology as a compositional framework, and meditation practices that confronted loneliness.

Experimental cellist Okkyung Lee discusses her ambient album 'Just Like Any Other Day', a four-year project born from isolation that turned memories of Korean cinema and cheap-sounding synthesizers into companionship for daily living.

I think it's becoming clear that if you like indie creators, you're going to need to support them any way you can. And that doesn't mean money, just spreading worth of mouth can be powerful as well.

If you’re changing the definition of human rights, it means you plan on violating people’s human rights.

Don’t stop meaning making. Must keep pushing against. Righteous anger as fuel. Stories as hand holding. My small part. Much more for hands to do.

I wrote Snake in the early summer of 2020. Human rights were at the center of the cultural mind in a different way than before. It feels eerily full circle now. We are still witnessing brutality on our phones. There is still a force that has grown and morphed, trying to take away the autonomy of so many: removing access to gender-affirming care, abortion rights, disability justice, Indigenous rights and the rights that protect those from racial + ethnic bias. This song stems from a righteous anger. A call to something older and deeper than the patriarchal systems that oppress us. It taps into my own personal experiences of not just systemic violence but the intimate + interpersonal kind. Having experienced assault in my past, this song was a way to transform my own pain into a call to action. “I can’t wait for an answer before I get free.”
