Summary

Join host Austin Williams and new music ensemble Hot Second ( Rebecca McDaniel Percussion and Dylan Feldpausch Violin/Viola) as we discuss their unique ensemble and its take on new music in Chicago. The conversation consists of thoughtful insights on how an ensemble can think outside of the traditional cannon and use influences from pop and other styles to help shape the sound they work with. A unique aspect of the ensemble is the incredibly vibrant collaboration that occurs between Rebecca and Dylan, to the point where they are writing and improvising their own music in real time.MUSIC Gabriela Ortiz: "Atlas-Pumas” José Martínez: Instructions for Playing, III, V Dylan Feldpausch: “Quartz" Esperanza Spalding, arr. Hot Second: "Formwela 4"
