Under the Radar Presents: “Why Not Both” Podcast Featuring Harper Simon and Julia Holter
Crime and medieval love affairs
Nov 09, 2022
Behold, another Why Not Both Wednesday! Every week, in partnership with Why Not Both podcast, we’ll be presenting new podcast episodes that explore how multiple passions inform the inspiring lives of musicians, writers, actors, and creatives.
We chatted with Harper Simon and Julia Holter about medieval love affairs, polyphonic vocal arrangements and the joys of collaboration for this week’s episode. The duo worked together on a track for Meditations on Crime, the multimedia project Harper spearheaded that explores the nature of transgression through music, art, and prose. Hit the play button to hear them pick each other’s brains about the writing process, melodic intentions and expression across artistic media.
