Basilica SoundScape is a three-day festival of sound, sight and taste in Hudson, NY this weekend. It is a curated program featuring a wide range of music, visual art, and literature that aims for specific connections and overlaps.
The musical menu includes Michael Chapman, Julia Holter, Endless Boogie, Deafheaven, White Lung, Majical Cloudz, solo sets from Richard Reed Parry of Arcade Fire playing material from his upcoming solo album, and the Swans doing a planned two-hour set.
Basilica Hudson’s Creative Director Melissa Auf Der Maur - formerly of Hole and Smashing Pumpkins - joins us this morning along with Brian DeRan, co-programmer of Basilica SoundScape, and Pitchfork Senior Editor & Director of Saturday’s Events - Brandon Stosuy.
