Today we’re listening to Stuart Bogie, an American clarinetist and composer from Illinois. After studying music at Interlochen Art Academy and the University of Michigan, he moved to New York. In the 2000s, he recorded with artists like TV on the Radio and Beck, and joined the afrobeat band Antibalas.1 When covid hit in 2020, Bogie started broadcasting clarinet improvisations over drone synths sourced from various friends. Two such performances, whose synths were provided by James Murphy, formed the LP Morningside, which we originally recommended last November accompanied by a conversation with Stuart. Now he has a new freeform ambient two-parter, recorded with Sam Cohen and Josh Kaufman, who contribute guitar, keys, and percussion.
