-Andrew Hiller sitting in a room with much music par·a·pher·na·lia in background, clothes in bag strewn—photographer unknown
Andrew Hiller and I have been friends for many years. He is a musician/artist that I originally met in the late-90's/early-2000's. We have stayed close ever since even though we never live near each other. He has been making music for a long time with many bands inlcuding Mr Klein and the Wizards of Time, Yairms, Damn Union, Treasure Mammal, and as AlhhlA.
We discuss friendship, music collectives, the art life, religion, fear, and his experiences practicing communal living.
We name dropped many wonderful things during this talk. Here are some links to bands/albums/episodes.
