S1, Ep. 3_TYONDAI BRAXTON on Morton Feldman, Ornette Coleman and Black Dice | 3 Songs Podcast

This week on 3 songs, I had the grand honor of sitting with my teacher and mentor Tyondai Braxton.

Tyondai is a composer, guitarist, and electronic musician who thinks about music in an expansive and refreshing way. He became well known for his work in the band Battles, but his work has gone far and wide beyond that into vast and unexplored realms, most recently into the sandbox of orchestra and electronics with his recent release “Telekinesis”. We’ve had some amazing conversations in lessons this semester that have gotten me really fired up about some of the more conceptual ideas I'm exploring in my recent work…

I'm really happy that he has recently joined the faculty at Princeton University and glad that you will all have the chance to sit with him in this episode of 3 songs as he shares a bit about his influences. I hope you enjoy 🫶
