Experiments in Living: A Conversation with Russell Rolen of Spektral Quartet

I had the opportunity to speak with Russell Rolen of the Grammy-nominated ensemble Spektral Quartet. This interview was published in Comfort Hive Magazine. The issue’s theme centered on the idea of redefining “community.” In this interview, I asked Russell about the communication strategies members of Spektral use to do their work; connections the ensemble has made with friends, collaborators, and Chicago-based organizations; their take on the idea of “citizen artistry”; and their latest album, Experiments in Living.
