Episode Synopsis

Herring reflects on his artistic evolution from solitary practices to dynamic, collaborative projects like TASK, which invites spontaneous collaboration. The episode features a diverse musical selection curated by Herring, including the invigorating "In a Cave", a hauntingly dramatic aria from Mozart's "The Magic Flute" performed by the renowned "Queen of the Night", and evocative tracks by Joan Osborne and the mysterious Divan Turbinate".
