This month on the show Andy talks to Rogers Park-based lamp maker Jenn Kleiman of Anglerfish Lighting and Rogers Park-based filmmaker Michael Glover Smith, whose new movie, RENDEZVOUS IN CHICAGO, screens this month at the Gene Siskel Film Center in Chicago. We also hear music from Whirlpool and oRSo, recorded live at Transistor February 8, 2013.

Michael Glover Smith is an independent filmmaker, author and teacher. He is writer and director of the award-winning feature films RENDEZVOUS IN CHICAGO (2018), MERCURY IN RETROGRADE (2017) and COOL APOCALYPSE (2015), co-author of an acclaimed non-fiction book about the silent film industry in Chicago, FLICKERING EMPIRE (Columbia University Press, 2015), and teaches film studies as an adjunct professor at several Chicago-area colleges. Find him at whitecitycinema.com and on Transistor Radio’s White City Radio Hour.

In the clip above, Michael Glover Smith talks about self-censorship and lessons learned in short films he made earlier in his directing career; the benefits of being artistically divisive; future film projects, including a horror movie he hopes to make; and he names his gun-to-head preference in one of the great questions of our time, The Beatles or The Stones.

In this clip, Michael talks about the music and use of sound in his films RENDEZVOUS IN CHICAGO and MERCURY IN RETROGRADE, speaking at length about Jason Coffman’s innovative score for RENDEZVOUS.

In this clip, Michael talks about shooting on the South Side of Chicago and working with the French actress Haydée Politoff, both for RENDEZVOUS IN CHICAGO, from which we hear two excerpts.

In this clip Michael laughs about the literary ambitions of COOL APOCALYPSE’s character Paul; talks about screening MERCURY IN RETROGRADE to an audience in Saugatuck, Michigan, close to where the film was shot; and reflects on the early work of François Truffaut and the recent innovations of Jean-Luc Godard. [The clip contains an excerpt from COOL APOCALYPSE.]

Here Michael talks about dedicating RENDEZVOUS IN CHICAGO to the songwriter Skip Haynes and how that dedication connects RENDEZVOUS to COOL APOCALYPSE. [The clip contains an excerpt from COOL APOCALYPSE.]

Director Nick Alonzo is an independent, self-taught filmmaker born and raised in Chicago. In the summer of 2014 and after becoming a father, Nick challenged himself to make his first feature-length film, SHITCAGO, a no-plot satirical comedy. Loosely based on a few personal events and people he met while living in Chicago all of his life, the film follows a young loner as he wanders the city of Chicago and encounters many idiosyncratic characters.  The film will be shown later this week at Transistor, Saturday night, April 2nd.  Earlier this week Nick stopped by Transistor to talk to Depth of Field contributor Danielle Echols; on this week's show we have that conversation, plus a rundown of April events at Transistor.  Visit the SHITCAGO Facebook and Tumblr pages.

Friday night, February 26 folk & jazz singer Ana Munteanu and Afro-folk-pop singer-songwriter Abraham Mellish will perform live at Transistor.  Earlier this week Depth of Field's Danielle Echols sat down with Ana and Abraham to talk about their far-flung musical journeys and upcoming Transistor show.  On this show we have that conversation, which includes in-store performances from each.  

Ana Munteanu, born in Republic of Moldova, is a singer who combines the lyricism of French music, the sensuality of Latin music, and the freedom of jazz.  For her Transistor set, Ana will be accompanied by Alex Brescanu on bass guitar. They will play songs composed by Manuel de Falla, Caetano Veloso, Duke Ellington, Jose Maria Contursi, as well as traditional Romanian songs.  

Abraham’s life journey has spanned the globe, which is evident in his sound. At his core, Abraham is a storyteller in the folk tradition, with a lyrical breadth that fully encompasses a universal human experience steeped in Liberian roots. His Transistor set will consist mainly of original songs, with a smattering of choice covers.

Saturday night, January 23rd Transistor will present an evening of short films. The program, 'Show Us Your Shorts,' has been curated by Melody Gilbert, an independent documentary filmmaker and film professor who has directed, shot, produced, (and sometimes edited) six independent feature-length documentaries since 2002. Recently, she co-directed the first 3D documentary made in Bulgaria, 'Steps in the Fire,' and is currently in post-production as producer/writer on 'Women Outward Bound' and as director/producer/cinematographer of 'The Summer Help.' All of Melody’s films have screened at prestigious film festivals around the world and have been broadcast internationally and been featured on Netflix and iTunes. She was the first recipient of a McKnight Foundation Artist Fellowship for Filmmaking and has received several filmmaking grants from the Jerome Foundation and the Minnesota State Arts Board. She is a passionate teacher and educator who has taught at the University of Minnesota, Carleton College and was a visiting artist at Columbia College for a semester in 2010. Melody moved to Chicago in the summer of 2015 while she is on leave from teaching filmmaking and journalism at the American University in Bulgaria. She recently started the Chicago DocuClub, a monthly group of docu-makers and docu-lovers who network and show rough cuts of their films for constructive feedback in a supportive environment. Depth of Field contributor Danielle Echols talked to Melody Saturday morning, January 16; we have that conversation on this week's show.

In 2013 jazz saxophonist Caroline Davis left the Windy City for New York City but was already immersed in a recording project honoring her eight-year stint in Chicago. The resulting album, 'Doors: Chicago Storylines,' was released last November on the independent label ears & eyes records. Davis combines spoken stories and original compositions on 'Doors.' The inspiration came in 2007 while she was teaching a course on the history of Chicago jazz at Northwestern University. “I found that 1980 to 2000 was virtually uncharted territory for the local scene,” she says. “We searched interviews and newspapers far and wide, but they didn’t cut it, so I invited several musician friends to talk about their experiences during that time.” Davis and her students found the stories to be extremely compelling; the effect was so strong that she wanted to highlight them on a grander scale alongside her own musical renderings. On 'Doors,' she pairs samples of musicians telling their favorite stories with her original compositions, some inspired by themes, others by spoken phrases. In early December Davis traveled back to Chicago for a record release show at Constellation. That morning she stopped by Transistor to talk about the album and her musical journey with Depth of Field contributor Danielle Echols.

This week Depth of Field has an interview with Konstantin Jace, who will be playing a 78 RPM DJ set at Transistor's holiday party Saturday night December 19. When Konstantin is not one-third of Chicago art-pop band Moritat, he is an avid collector, historian and listener of 78 records. One of only a few 78 RPM DJs around the world, he fell in love with that era of music (1899-1960) at the age of 22 and has been curating his own personal collection of 78s, in all genres, ever since. Last week Andy Miles spoke to Konstantin and listened to some of his 78 RPM records. We have that conversation on this week's show.

The Ayuda Quartet came together as friends in the Civic Orchestra and embarked together on the idea of forming an unconventional string quartet. Through the integration of music traditions past and present, the Ayuda Quartet blends deft classical artistry with refined modern pop sensibilities. The quartet strives to redefine the role of chamber music in today's world.

With their love of chamber music and art, the quartet launched the Flow Concert Series in the summer of 2015. Flow brings music from the concert hall to small spaces in celebration of the intimacy of music and art. The series is deliberately intimate, taking place in modest spaces, specifically designed to highlight the personal, emotional and intrinsic connection between the listener and the performers. Flow performances include poetry, visual arts and dance in combination with a set of musical pieces and songs.

In November, they launched a monthly concert series at Transistor, Second Sundays at Six. The next of these will be Sunday, December 13th. In October, Depth of Field contributor Danielle Echols talked to three members of the quartet, Myra Hinrichs, Liz Oar and Danielle Seaman. This week we have their conversation, plus several in-store performances.

After being in a month-long diabetic coma, during which he was almost taken off life support and subsequently eulogized on Facebook, Dave Maher woke up to find himself like Tom Sawyer at his own internet funeral. 'Dave Maher Coma Show' is the comedian’s story of what happened and how, plus all the jokes and questions it spawned: What's the grossest part of coming out of a coma? What’s the best way to flirt with nurses in physical rehab? What now? The one-man show starring Dave Maher and directed by Dan Shar is running at the Annoyance Theater, 851 West Belmont Avenue in Chicago. The final two performances are coming up, Friday December 11 and 18. Last week Depth of Field contributor Danielle Echols talked to Dave Maher about the show and his story. This week we have their conversation.

This week's guest is Tim Daisy, a Chicago-based sound artist, percussionist and composer who has been working in the fields of improvised and composed music since 1997. He has performed, recorded and toured both solo and with many acclaimed musicians and ensembles from the USA and abroad. He works in a number of different environments, including modern dance, film, chamber ensembles, free jazz and improvised music ensembles. His new project, On The Ground, is an improvised solo situation that utilizes an ever-expanding arsenal of both traditional and nontraditional instruments -- including radios, turntables, gongs, chains, bells, a snare drum, brushes, scrap metal, circular saw blades, sticks and alarm clocks. OTG explores the art of sound collage in a solo improvisational context, multi-layered free improvisation, with all of the instruments and objects spread out and assembled on the floor. Tim talks to Andy Miles about that project and performs an improvised set in his practice space.

Tim Daisy will perform as On The Ground Friday night December 4 at Transistor.

Chicago bluesman Calvin Conway has a new record coming out the last day of October; it will be called 'Dark Horse Deluxe.' The 13 songs on the album were written and recorded in Chicago with inspiration from New Orleans and Austin, Texas, and they cast a light on how Calvin takes experiences in travel and translates them into sound. The stories he tells are a true reflection of real experiences that came to be from riding the rails. The album blends a variety of genres like blues, soul, gospel, ragtime and folk and has given Calvin the chance to pay homage back to his family heritage and the musical landscape that nourished him from the start.

Last Saturday morning at Transistor, Depth of Field contributor Danielle Echols talked to Calvin about the album, his musical journey and the legendary music and musicians that influence his sound. This week on the show we have their conversation, with three live-on-the-spot performances. We also preview two upcoming events at Transistor, with music from Elizabeth Bagby and The Elizabeth Dane.

Since 2012 Chicago artist Steve Connell has been working on a painting series he calls Chicago Night. His method: digital finger painting on an iPad. Having worked for years as a commercial illustrator and graphic designer here in Chicago, he builds these paintings from his own sketches and prints them as archival prints or mounted woodblocks. The paintings reflect his interest in the urban environment at night and depict various Chicago music venues, bars, diners, or just corners of the city that catch Steve's eye. As the title of the series suggests, the paintings depict night scenes, in the small, desolate hours that call 'Nighthawks at the Diner' to mind. 'If the street is deserted,' Steve says, 'you can hear the hum of the neon, the echo on the sidewalks.'

For more than a year now Transistor has carried a number of works from Steve's ever-growing collection; through November they will be featured on one of Transistor's main gallery walls. Recently Depth of Field contributor Danielle Echols talked to Steve at Transistor; tune in to hear their conversation.

Andy reminisces about the early days of Transistor with Transistor co-founder Rani Young and catches up with Rani's many creative endeavors since leaving Transistor in 2011. We also have a preview of this Friday night's live performers, Dial In and Jack Armstrong, with a song from each.

Rani Young is a Chicago-based artist, musician and designer. The recipient of a 2014 Individual Artist Grant from the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs, Rani works out of her studio at Fulton Street Collective, with her current focus on narrative figurative oil paintings. She has a BFA from Colorado State University and a post-baccalaureate from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In 2009, Rani co-founded Transistor, from which she curated a weekly music performance series, hosted a radio interview show, and taught fine art and design software classes to hundreds of students; she stepped away from those roles in 2011; in 2015 she resumed involvement with the Transistor Radio webcast, voicing sponsor and station identification announcements. Rani is a graphic designer, creating digital signage, print materials and outdoor advertising for Hyatt, Hilton, Omni and other hotel clients. She is also the lead singer in three Chicago bands: Girl Detective, Dreams of Falling and Dream House (the latter a Siouxsie and the Banshees tribute band). Visit Rani's website.
