This episode of the podcast is with Kalen Lister, the woman behind atmospheric electro-synth projects Death By Piano, whose latest release “Nightwalk” is out now via Hi4Head Records; KALEN and Late Sea, all of which have new releases! We talked PRE-election, so ignore any cynicism on my end. Kalen just became a mother and is finding the balance between creation and, well, post-creation. Her work across the board is a beautiful mix of instrumentation and elegant digital gems that accentuate the world of sound around us all.
