Show Notes

It's another Manitoba-adjacent episode: a conversation with Toronto (by way of Winnipeg, of course) solo guitarist John Testar!

We talked about free improvisation vs classical training, John’s upcoming album, the difficulty defining his experimental sound, the benefits of silence, and much more!

This episode brought to you by our pals at Devine Shirt Company.
