Hot Second

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
