Here is the debut of my interview show: the Audio Essays Podcast.
Episode 1 features an interview with Brian Carpenter of the Ghost Train Orchestra. Brian talks about the creation of the band, the inspiration for the band’s Book of Rhapsodies albums, arranging for the band, and the research that goes into each album.
Thanks to Brian, and continued success to the Ghost Train Orchestra. Keep an eye out for their next album exploring the music of Moondog.
Thanks for listening. I’d love to hear feedback. Feel free to email me at [email protected].
Keep Listening!
