About Michael Harren

Brooklyn-based composer and performer Michael Harren combines elements of classical composition with experimental electronics and storytelling to create hypnotic and boldly intimate work that walks the line between Laurie Anderson, Peter Gabriel and Dead Can Dance.

    I just finished listening to your interview. To me, you sound like you’ve been interviewing people for a living. You did one thing many people do not do when they try interviewing… LISTEN. Thanks for listening to your guest, being real (e.g., not worrying about the cough), and doing a show I personally enjoyed.

    Thanks, Brian. I feel much more secure about interviewing after having a few under my belt, but I still feel a little shaky…your feedback really helps!

    Yeah if my calculations are correct, she predates even Kate Bush for crazed female acrobatics. I hadn’t realized that until now.

    Thanks for stopping by! I liked hearing you on yeast!

  6. mikeypod

    I’m glad you like it Norman! It looks like I may return to this sort of segment again, lots of good feedback, and it was really fun to talk about music in that way, I never really get to.

    🙂
