FFFoxy Podcast #119 with Sean McCann of Recital

On this installment of the FFFoxy Podcast, I was joined in the studio by Sean McCann. Sean was in town taking part in “An Evening of Experimental & Improvised Sound”, an event that Free Form Freakout curated at the Arts Center of St. Peter. It proved to be such a memorable evening filled with mesmerizing sounds and spirited fellowship. Sincere thanks to all of the artists involved, to all of the folks in attendance, and to the staff at the Arts Center of St. Peter.

The following day Sean and I reconvened at the KMSU studios to plunge into his recent work with Recital, his self-run publishing house that focuses on a wide range of new music, sound poetry, and sound art, “examining the similarities and differences between the pastoral and the bizarre.” I actually spoke with Sean back in 2012 in the early stages of Recital and the FFF podcast, so it was a pleasure to have him back on the show and catch up on all of the recent happenings surrounding Recital. Sean came armed with loads of new and forthcoming material to play on the show, too. In fact, the majority of the selections played are from releases due out later in the year and into next year. As will be made glaringly clear, Sean has LOTS of great things happening with Recital that you’ll want to take note of. I hope you enjoy this episode. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or comments. As always, thanks for looking and listening. [Photo credit: Ryan Carr, Philosophy of the World podcast]
