Yeah, that can be really nerve-racking, even after years of performing out-every show’s so different. Performing is fun a lot of the time, but I often get nervous or worried that I’m coming off the wrong way due to being too anxious. I like learning about recording styles as well, and deciding instrumentation for songs is something I love doing. Writing is my favorite part, since it’s just fun to do. Just seeing what I can do and playing around with whatever makes sense. I’m interested in the whole picture, really. Is your ideal to focus on writing and performing as an artist or do you have an actual interest in the technical or recording end of things too, or even the business or management end of things? A lot of it is MIDI instruments that I wrote the parts for rather than actual physical instruments. Thanks! And yes, everything on the record was played by me. Looking at the album liner notes, it reads like you played all the instruments yourself-is that the case? That’s truly impressive, just listening to the whole thing start-to-finish. I thought up melodies for a long time and started sharing my ideas more when I got to high school. I loved listening to music and was curious about writing it. I know you study music business at Northeastern, but what brought you to music and performing in the first place? Sidney Gish: Yeah! I’ve been messing around in garageband for a couple years but only started posting stuff on Bandcamp in 2015. I have to admit, until we heard a couple songs from No Dogs Allowed on our local station, KCRW, we weren’t familiar with you or your music, but you seem to have been doing this a while, yeah? Raven + crow: Alright first off, thanks for taking the time to talk. We talked recently with the Boston-based musician and full-time student in an effort to find out more about her background in music, her influences, and her self-made album covers (and the awesome cat one one of them). Regardless of how a song made its way to our ears, we’re always intrigued to find out more about the artist or artists behind it, especially when that song strikes us as especially original or memorable, as is very much the case with Sidney Gish’s “Persephone”-featured on this month’s mixtape-and, in fact, her entire new album, the beautifully inventive + sharp-witted No Dogs Allowed, released December 31st last year.
