To mark 10 amazing years of celebrating sound and story,
The Third Coast International Audio Festival closed out their 2010 Conference with a special conversation about inspiration, collaboration, creativity and storytelling between musician
Andrew Bird and print artist
Jay Ryan.
In 2005 songwriter/performer Andrew Bird and print artist Jay Ryan collaborated on the artwork for Bird's highly-acclaimed record,
"The Mysterious Production of Eggs." For this closing session they took the stage to describe - through conversation and performance - the creative efforts that informed that project.
I edited a
short video from the footage of their session into a sneak peak at their full conversation.
Special thanks to Aaron Wickenden, Shane Lamberth and Alix Blair for shooting.
