Show Notes
Aphasia is by Mark Applebaum
Mark Applebaum is a musical inventor whose music combines the unrelenting rigor of post-war European Modernism with ridiculousness and whimsy borne of zooming obsessively and exactingly close to the mundane. Mike and Mike break down how they learned Mark Applebaum’s iconic solo work *Aphasia.* “Eat sandwich,” “smell grapefruit,” “open beer,” “close window,” “fasten seatbelt”!
Topics include: - Prior experience with Applebaum’s music - Practicing slow and fast - Memorizing new repertoire - Being specific in theatrical repertoire

The Mikes take a practice break and tackle a trivia challenge of epic proportions: a Candy Bar Roll Call. Not quite a short, not quite a full episode, it’s a Fun-Sized diversion from your summer practicing, and all but intolerable in audio format!
Mike C has a new book about creativity, practice, and the snare drum, and is eager to share how it might positively or negatively impact your practice. If that’s not enough, the Mikes offer a “what we’re loving right now” segment.
The Mikes go deep on the music of Steve Reich. Can they stay aligned or will they phase!?
The one and only! Tune in as we talk to Colin about his newest album release: Steve Reich Sextets (available April 11, 2026). A true pleasure to talk with someone at the top of our field on Steve Reich, chamber music, pedagogy, concertizing, and, briefly, puzzle tables!
The next episode is our interview with Colin Currie, Scottish percussionist extraordinaire. This episode was recorded afterwards, where the Mikes reflect, reminisce, and otherwise ruminate about Colin's transformative interview. We hope this piques your interest for the next episode!
