Kreative Kontrol

Simone Schmidt from Fiver returns to discuss Fiver Trois presents Cleaning House, seeing a psychic who encouraged them to re-organize their living space and rid themself of belongings, some of which once belonged to others, how stuff can memorialize people who are gone, hoarding and archiving, losing and then re-gaining artistic metaphor, how life being a joke morphed into “That’s a Joke,” the gamification of everything we do, important and inspiring musical conversations with Jeremy Costello and Nathan Doucet, singing and stunting, explaining the quartet that makes up the Fiver Trois, rediscovering your singing voice as a non-binary person, praising the band Townie, an invocation of Bob Dylan’s band sound in this century with a special nod to his “Frank Sinatra era” and the brilliant album Triplicate, upcoming shows, other future plans, and much more.
