Episode Synopsis

Aphasia is by Mark Applebaum
 
Mark Applebaum is a musical inventor whose music combines the unrelenting rigor of post-war European Modernism with ridiculousness and whimsy borne of zooming obsessively and exactingly close to the mundane. Mike and Mike break down how they learned Mark Applebaum’s iconic solo work *Aphasia.* “Eat sandwich,” “smell grapefruit,” “open beer,” “close window,” “fasten seatbelt”!
 
Topics include:
- Prior experience with Applebaum’s music
- Practicing slow and fast
- Memorizing new repertoire
- Being specific in theatrical repertoire
