After a few months away, The No Normal Podcast from New Music Edmonton has returned for a second season of exploring contemporary music and sound art.
Season 2 will air newly commissioned works as well as discussions between the commissioned artists and guest interviewers. The season launch features Mustafa Rafiq in conversation with Suzette Chan, as well as an interview of Mile Zero Dance's artistic director, Gerry Morita, conducted by Ian Crutchley.
New Music Edmonton started in 1985 at the suggestion of composer and teacher Violet Archer. The founding composers began with a concert series for new music, and the organization has since built on that idea to become "an important partner in the vibrant and eclectic contemporary arts scene in Edmonton."
The podcast emerged last year when the pandemic made live music events impossible. The second season boasts a new partnership with CJSR 88.5 FM. You can now catch the show at 10am on the second and fourth Thursday of each month, as well as wherever you find your podcasts.
You can listen to podcast picks from Taproot on Listen Notes or Spotify.
