This month brings a return guest in Zach Rowden and a new guest in Austin Larkin. Together they perform as Red Yellow Blue Green Black. Definitely go back and listen to the  Zach and Henry (Tongue Depressor) podcast if you hadn't yet! For this episode we focused more on Austin as we had yet to dive into his musical background.  We of course also talk about lots of things we're listening too. Austin created sirens for the recent tour with Tongue Depressor - some deep insight on those. General talk of musical education background and Austin's brief stint in a band signed to Sub Pop and how that led to a few years at school for music and then on to Jakarta to further study gamelan.  Lots of insight and interesting musical and other art related divergences follow. Give a listen!  Links: https://austinlarkin.bandcamp.com/ https://austinlark.in/ https://www.memoryofapastheat.net/ https://www.instagram.com/memoryofapastheat/ https://zachrowden.bandcamp.com/  Opening Track: Austin Larkin "9'58''- 20'00'" Metal Cups of Different Hues (Self Released) Rick: Conjunto Primitivo "Tiniebla" Morir y Renacer (Chicago Research) Dissolve "Sandblaster" Dismantle (Maitsuba) Ben Vida &amp; Lea Bertucci "Basso Profundo" Murmurations (Cibachrome Editions) Demonax "Play That Metal Mean" Demonax (O.P.M.

RSR PC 030 Tongue Depressor Henry Birdsey and Zach Rowden

Former podcast guest Donovan Stokes recommended that I contact Zach Rowden and dig into what his musical journey looks like. I did just that, and the result was a fascinating conversation about careers, traditional music school mindsets, and how wide the possibilities really when you decide to do your own thing. Zach is a former student of both Donovan Stokes and Robert Black, and we discuss the impact that both these teachers had on the Zach's musical evolution. Links to Check Out:  Zach on Bandcamp Zach on Facebook Zach Rowden Uses His Double Bass As An Acoustic Playground (from the Hartford Courant)  Contrabass Conversations is sponsored by: Bass Violin Shop -  Offers the Southeast's largest inventory of laminate, hybrid and carved double basses. Whether you are in search of the best entry-level laminate, or a fine pedigree instrument, there is always a unique selection ready for you to try. Trade-ins and consignments welcome!
