    Dec 8 2023

    In episode 6 of season 2, our host, Alan Fear, sits down with the artist f3ralcat.

    F3ralcat is an artist, composer, and producer who performs for a paradigm shift away from that which exists today for the saxophone. His band, Feralcat and the Wild, is a prog-rock/emo/fusion band where his sweeping saxophone melodies carry overtop driving distorted guitars and synthesizers in music that functions better around mosh pits than in jazz clubs. As a solo artist & producer, the music he creates lends saxophone melodies/harmonies to sounds in lo-fi, synth-wave, and video game-inspired tracks.

  • S2 Ep. 04 - Scott Kowalski
    Oct 6 2023

    In episode 4 of season 2, our host, Alan Fear sits down with artist Scott Kowalski.

    Working in his studio in Pittsburgh, PA. He works to find peace and explore internal duality. This duality seems to always be in conflict. One of Minimalism and simple structure and one of chaos and immense depth. Using this approach, he considers himself a minimalist abstract expressionist, using acrylic on canvas, bold, rich colors, and limited color pallets to convey his art.
