Tuesday, October 25th @ 7pm
A panel discussion on the topic of music production, with participants Neko Case, Suzi Analogue, Zola Jesus and Miho Hatori, each of whom are artists who self-produce their own recordings.

This panel provides a platform for conversation about the process of creating the sonic spaces inside of which artists perform. It will be moderated by Melissa Dyne and Khaela Maricich, of The Blow.
