Legendary turntablist Kid Koala met up with us on Sunday
before his set on the Preservation Hall stage. An affable fellow, he gave us
way more than we bargained for – a 19+ minute interview covering topics from
the Blues to his approach to the turntables and the challenge of creating
innovative art experiences to accompany his music.
Unfortunately, this was the most technically fraught of all our
interviews – luckily we mostly just lost me talking. There is a little bit of
radio silence at the beginning and at 12 minutes in the camera shuts off – i
should have warned camera man Melvin Priester of this auto shut off but he
caught it and quickly restarted the filming.
We targeted Koala for an interview because of his recent
album 12-bit Blues. He was more than gracious in discussing his relationship
with the blues and blues culture and went above and beyond in his willingness
to discuss his art form with us. Sorry for the technical difficulties.
