Episode 007 - Joseph L. Young

Episode Seven is here and features conversation and music with multi-instrumentalist Joseph L. Young.

During the course of our conversation, Joseph and I talk about the evolution of New Age music and his hopes that his new album, Every Moment, might help to redefine what New Age music is, especially where the saxophone is concerned. We also talk about what made him choose to do a saxophone album.

Joseph and I talk about how he got interested in ethnic flutes, the growing number of sub-genres under the New Age umbrella, the older demographic that follows New Age music, a demographic that is now attracting younger listeners.

Along the way, we talk about the challenges for instrumentalists in finding performance opportunities in the area and the effort he is involved with that is trying to change that situation. And we even manage to slip a little discussion of quantum physics. All that, plus Joseph treats us to some ethnic flute improvisation, and we'll share two songs from the new album.

Next time out, a conversation with pianist Lynn Tredeau on the eve of the release of her new album, Fellowship of Solitude.

Availability Update, Tweaks

Two episodes in, and the tweaking continues. I've been working to change the artwork for the podcast. That is, I think, still a work in progress, especially as I look at the artwork used by others around the podosphere. (Is that a word? If not, it should be.)

I also decided to refine the subtitle and description a bit to make it a little less of a mouthful. I think the new subtitle and description are a little easier to read while saying basically the same thing.

I'm now in the process of having my podcast added to Google Play Music, for those of you who consume content there. I've also submitted the podcast to Spotify for addition, but since my hosting platform is not one of the ones currently listed (supported?) on Spotify, that process is less certain.

Because of that and a couple of other concerns, I am considering a move to a different hosting platform. I like that my current host is free, but there is no guarantee that will stay the case.

I have an alternate hosting service picked out (I think), but I may not make any decision for a little while yet. Stay tuned to these pages. (How's that for a cliffhanger?)
