Hey Natalie, Nice follow up. She reminds me of Macy Gray…

Hey Ben, I’m guessing the Awen Ensemble is referencing that mountain in Wales. I saw a doc. about it last year. Nice piece! Thanks for the plug.

Ben Armstrong (host)
Hey Ron, yes I read the Wales reference, but have not seen the doc. Was that on youtube? Thanks for tuning in!

No, I saw it at a film festival in T.O.

Me too, I always learn something whether I tune in, or produce the show. Been digging this new Emanative track. All of his works are interesting to me. This has great collaborators including Sarathy Korwar , Jessica Lauren, and fantastic trombone work from Peter Zummo. https://emanative.bandcamp.com/album/abstract-intuition
