Artist Interviews Sao Paulo Underground
Sao Paulo Underground is composed of Chicago's own Rob Mazurek and Brazilian artists Guilherme Granado and Mauricio Takara. When CHIRP's Amanda Roscoe Mayo sat down with the band at a recording studio in Naperville, the conversation was as far-reaching as their geographical roots, spanning the relationship between music and visuals arts, what it means to be a "postmodern orchestra," and their favorite tunes to dance naked to.

Artist Interviews Superhumanoids
Human relationships can be messy, but making music about the complexity of emotions can bring people together in special ways. Superhumanoids' Sarah, Max and Cameron talked with CHIRP's Dylan Peterson about their uniquely synergistic songwriting process, how they are each other's therapists, and feeling less alone because of Marc Maron's WTF podcast.
