Twin Cities Song Story: Instant Songwriting
Editorial
Twin Cities Song Story is a locally produced podcast focusing on the process of how a music finds its way to the stage. This month Mark Sweeney interviews Jill Bernard about her one woman historically based improvised musical Drum Machine.
Jill created the show in 2002 and has toured it internationally. She talks about how music, history and her numerous musical collaborators have influenced the show and her approach to solo improv. We also discuss finding balance between song structure and the emotional expression of her characters. The podcast ends with a song from a past performance of Drum Machine accompanied by Jack Barrett.
