Review of The Well-Rounded Radio Interview with Burnside Project


Before I heard this piece I had assumed that I would write that whether one enjoys it or not depends on whether you like Burnside Project (who I must confess to not being familiar with until now), but this is not the case. The band comprises a trio of engaged and engaging musicians whose enthusiasm for their work is infectious. This well rounded radio interview is aptly named: providing an insight into the artistic process and the nature of the musicans' collaboration, and also revealing the dramatic impact of digital editing software on music composition. In addition there is ample use of their music throughout the interview for those not already in the know.

Don't be put off by the host's somewhat speedy and fact-filled preamble, (I felt a bit breathless just listening); he is clearly knowledgeable and interested in his subjects, and appears to be a natural fast talker! HW
