“I think the conservatory was ableist… my disability is what brought me to the ‘weird music’ scene in the first place. The whole point of that scene was that it was accepting of ‘differences’.” —Leila Bordreuil @misterminsoo talks with the Brooklyn-based composer and cellist

In my latest for @toneglow, I was lucky enough to talk with Djrum, a critical producer of who-knows-what electronic music. We went wide here, exploring his relationship to polyphonic composition, obsession, hardcore, improvisation, and so much more. Link below.
