Kreative Kontrol

James Brandon Lewis returns to discuss Calling Antonín, his well-deserved, award-winning 2026, how William Parker got him involved in a special project with the Czechoslovak-American Marionette Theater Company and how their productions are exactly what they sound like, studying the life and work of the nineteenth century Czech composer Antonín Dvořák, why he paid special attention to the album artwork, liner notes, and music on this album, structuring records to have the audio analog of opening and closing movie credits, also paying tribute to the poet Paul Laurence Dunbar via an imagined historical meeting, pondering being prolific and taking a break, upcoming shows, other future plans, and much more.
