Oh no! We lost most of our episode this week to the computer gremlins. We had a great conversation with composer Ken Ueno (@dj_moderne), but you’re going to have to take our word for it because we can’t show it to you. We’re pretty bummed about it. On a brighter note, the Detroit Symphony strike has ended, and Patrick and Nate were there for their season opener.
