from Sep 3, 2020: Composer/pianist Carlos McMillan Fuentes and clarinetist/multi-instrumentalist Brennen Milton are a Sacramento-based duo known as "Carlos and Brennen." We talk about their February performance with soprano Robin Fischer at Sacramento's Crocker Art Museum complementing American impressionist Granville Redmond's (who was deaf) landscape paintings. Other topics include the meaning of the phrase "natural," and Carlos and Brennen's ideas about representation in music. We end with one of Carlos's compositions, "Silentium Amoris," a lustful piece inspired by an Oscar Wilde poem that depicts aspects of human nature.
