Composer Harold Meltzer spoke with Second Inversion soon after his album Songs and Structures was released earlier this year, directly before he was about to leave for a composer’s residency in Italy. Unfortunately, soon after arriving in Italy, Meltzer had a stroke that waylaid his creative endeavors. We’re happy to report that he is currently recovering.

In this audio interview, Meltzer walks through the pieces on Songs and Structures as well as the stories behind them. We look forward to more songs and stories from him in the future.

Music in this interview is from Harold Meltzer’s new album Songs and Structures, out now on Bridge Records. For more information, click here.
