Indexical is pleased to present a conversation with composer Dominic Coles. His work investigates the interactions of place, personhood, and power as they are articulated in sound and speech. In this conversation Coles' talks about their background in music, early beginnings in jazz guitar, studies in music composition, interest in speech as a compositional tool, and the pedagogical and political aspects of a musical work. *** Note: There were a few audio glitches in this recording, but we felt the quality of the conversation was worth sharing. We hope you agree! Mixing and Editing by Jay Negron
