I was allowed to observe a practice ahead of a performance later that night in Kalamazoo, Mich. with musicians Seth Bernard and May Erlewine. Also at the practice was percussionist Mike Shimmin and bassist Andrew Kratzat. During the practice, I recorded video and audio focusing attention on Bernard and Erlewine, a duo in a committed personal and creative relationship. Following the practice, we sat down for an interview.
Michigan-based musicians Seth Bernard and May Erlewine have played together for more than five years. The duo’s intimate musical relationship is the fuel that drives their passion to create songs together.
Exploring Conversations is a platform for examining the language of music. It was created as a graduate thesis project by Steven Davy
