Why do musicians create what they do? Why do they create in that particular way? Mark Linsenmayer (aka songwriter Mark Lint, and host of The Partially Examined Life) talks to songwriters and composers about specific recordings, which are played in full. We cover lyric meanings, writing and recording techniques, arrangements, band dynamics, the stories behind the songs, and even music theory.

NEM #29: Jason Seed’s “Stringtet”
Jason fattens out his eclectic guitar pieces by writing string and horn parts, and The Jason Seed Stringtet includes members of the Chicago Symphony sawing away furiously. Hear more at jasonseedmusic.com.
We'll discuss "Ishtar," a Bulgarian/Latin-inflected piece from In the Gallery (2013), "Any Night Now" a more traditional chamber jazz number from 2015, and "Mammoth" from the Jason Seed Exlier Ensemble's album 3 (2008). We'll wrap up by listening to "Pinch" from the Stringtet's The Escapist (2010). Intro music: "Invocation" from In the Gallery.
