Jeff is a prolific musician and artist \u2014 creating in a variety of genres and formats. His works appear as stand-alone albums, as complements to performance art, and on pirate radio stations. I\u2019ve long been a fan of Jeff\u2019s music, and, in 2020, he released two of my favorite albums of his: Ditch and Scale with Zeena Parkins. I wanted to talk to Jeff about the differences between creating for \u201cthe art world\u201d vs creating as a musician, as well as the role of improvisation in his process. Jeff also has some wild and hilarious stories about the variety of things that can go wrong when making art. If you're enjoying the show, the best way to support it is by sharing with your friends.
