Transylvanian Ethnomusicology with Colleen Bertsch
Composer Quest: A Songwriting and Music Composition Podcast - Un pódcast de Charlie McCarron
Ethnomusicologist Colleen Bertsch is in Romania right now through a Fulbright grant to study Transylvanian violinists. I got to Skype with Colleen for this episode of Composer Quest, and we talk about her faithful recreation of Romanian folk music with her band Szászka, and the crazy time signatures (22/16!) she's played with her Balkan band Orkestar Bez Ime.
