Music is Music: Shannon Hayden
Listen now
Description
Cellist Shannon Hayden installed the solar panels that power the recording studio that's housed in the farm that she built with her bare hands (with the help of her dad). Oh, and she also imitates the guitar sounds of noise-punk band Melt Banana with her cello... aaaaand she was once set on fire for being a better cellist than a boy. Yup. On her latest album, You See the World, Shannon channels her love of noise, traditional classical and textured drones into songs full of tension and release. Listen for yourself on the track "Accelerator." This episode of Music is Music is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.
